Award-Winning English Tutors in San Marcos, TX

...tutoring students in late elementary through high school in one-on-one settings. My students have ranged from highly motivated individuals wanting to go from a B+ to an A to students having difficulty passing a tough class, and I strive to match my style and depth of instruction with the knowledge level of the student. I strongly believe everybody has the potential to succeed, and a recurring theme of my tutoring is that my students should...

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!... The answer is out there. I really do think that, no matter what the problem is, a solution can be found if we all work hard enough!...

...years of experience teaching English and writing in the college classroom.

...for students to approach unfamiliar problems and think critically, and often contributes to their discouragement and their writing off of entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships...

...math, I could go to my dad who taught math at a University level and he would make the subject fun and engaging. Because of that, I grew up loving math. No matter how difficult it was to grasp a concept at first, my dad would approach it in different ways until something clicked and and I felt like I had mastered it. I was really impressed by the difference his patience made and I...

...and adventure and passion and awesomeness and...we'll you catch my drift :) I have taught and tutored children as young as 5 up through college aged folk as well. My parents are both professors so I guess I was bitten at an early age with the education bug. Like them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful learning experiences are: Patience, Passion and Listening - on the both the part of the...

...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 independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies and schoolwork, which I believe can ultimately lead to a more joyful, fulfilled life.

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...

...look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by...

...went to Swarthmore College, a liberal arts college outside of Philadelphia. There, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies. I plan to continue my education and get a Master's in Public Policy. My tutoring philosophy partially comes from what worked with me, but it also from my experience working with students. I worked in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups of students. Although, they were considered to be at...

...grandson in chemistry. We met for several hours a night, two to three nights a week, and although we worked hard, we both had a lot of fun. He improved greatly in the time I worked with him, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch him master concepts that he once found difficult. I hope to be able to help students understand the material they are studying and make it their own. By building an...

...trigonometry, and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics.

My hobbies include exercise, sports, and...

I've always appreciated this in my teachers and mentors and have tried to carry it forward in my interactions with others.... I would...
