Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Austin, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

...an undergraduate, I attended a prestigious honors program at the University of Texas at Austin. In essence, I have years of experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications. I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students,...

...myself tutoring my classmates and helping them with their assignments. That is when I realized the only thing I loved more than learning was teaching. I absolutely love helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their eyes light up as they succeed. I pursued my passion for tutoring at my local library by teaching both middle school and high school students in all math classes ranging from Algebra 1 all the way to AP...

...in Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin. While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which renewed my interest both in teaching and in working with individuals with special needs. I am excited to work with...

...am currently a third-year student majoring in Biology and a part of the Health Science Scholars Honors program at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience tutoring high school and middle school students for the past couple of years in a variety of subjects and my favorite ones include sciences such as biology and chemistry, as well as ACT/SAT/PSAT test prep. I firmly believe in the value of good education and hope to...

...Washington University, I majored in an interdisciplinary program for philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school. I served as a residential advisor for two years and have experience tutoring and counseling students in that capacity. I believe taking the time to listen to and understand others is the best way to find out how to help them. I've always appreciated this in my teachers and mentors and have tried...

I am an undergrad student looking to help other students of any level to further their understanding of (mainly) writing and English topics. I'm also an avid Ultimate Frisbee player and am currently enjoying the new Fire Emblem game on the Switch.

...working with students both in and out of the classroom. I strongly believe in inquiry-based instruction, which consists of leading students to develop solutions on their own while analyzing their thought process. This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them. I have found that this method is much more effective than traditional styles because when the student verbalizes their thought process and corrects their own...

...while also pursuing pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing,...

I am a third year student at The University of Texas at Austin studying Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have 3 months of online tutoring experience, tutoring both computer science and chemistry. I like the students I tutor to have a hands on approach to learning. The easiest and most fun way to learn is to do. I love watching students use what they've learned to solve real problems.

...any time- for that matter, simply isn’t my forté. When my mom picked up on this fact I was promptly placed into dance class, which I liked because it was indoors. My approval of air conditioned dance practice eventually evolved into a real passion and appreciation for the art form. Dancing (and now, cheerleading!) provides the platform to develop the strong, committed, and confident personality that defines me today. A little bit about my experience:...

I'm a college student at UT Austin studying Philosophy and Biomedical Engineering. I've tutored students from 2nd grade to college in subjects ranging from basic math to E & M Physics, but most of my experience is in SAT and ACT prep. I have pride in my ability to assess where students are and what they need to achieve their goals, and hope to work with many more students through Varsity.

...degree in Plan II. While at UT, I did a creative thesis, which ultimately resulted in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning...

...I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability to think about problems is not limited to mathematics and, if mastered, will stay with the student for the rest of...

I'm a pre-med student with a B.A. in English. I'm committed to helping students overcome obstacles to reach their academic potential. I believe that everyone can become a clear thinker and strong writer with the right coaching and practice. Outside of school I'm an avid cook (grilled kimcheese and spaghetti carbonara), reader (Biography of Leonardo da Vinci), musician (guitar), and soccer fan (West Ham United).

...guided practice (“do one”), and checking for understanding (“teach one”), I ensure my students understand the “why” rather than merely memorize the “that.” I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University of Texas at Austin as a Doctoral Candidate, where I also earned my M.A. in Philosophy. At the University of...

...It was meaningful to help people wrestle with frustration or confusion and see them turn those blocks into steps toward mastery. I view my role as a conduit for your process. I can help organize your approach by finding the most highly recurring places where you struggle and construct a more stable foundation. We aim to enjoy learning, not score perfect. That allows us to relax as we polish or build skills that once hindered...

...University of Texas. I spend a lot of my time learning, and most of my time in high school, was either studying for the 17 total AP exams I took, or studying for Academic UIL competitions and Science Bowl. I spend a lot of my time in class, or learning outside through self study of what I'm interested in, like other computer science languages, or different real world science and math problems.... Those who want to...

...two years at Emory University. After receiving an Associate's in Arts, I returned home to Houston to finish my degree at UH; it was there I discovered I didn't just not hate politics, I was actively fascinated by them. Thus, my plans to become an evil scientist working undercover at the CDC were thwarted by a latent preoccupation with government. Stuff happens, I guess. I have tutored middle school math and English, as well as...

...taking a multitude of classes and experiencing all sorts of fields of study. After graduation, I plan on attending law school. Aside from school, I am a member of the Delta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, a Counselor for Ignite Texas, and a member of a campus theatre troupe called The Broccoli Project. I love to learn and am a big believer in enjoying getting an education. I am very patient, but also firm...
