BA Rice University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm currently attending Rice University- pursuing a double major Bachelor of Arts in Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Economics. As you can probably tell I'm very passionate about math, and I'm even more passionate about teaching it! I prefer to teach math a little differently than some of you may used to. Many of students think of math as a plug and chug approach- simply being given formulas and plugging numbers in. While I will give you the formulas and critical things to remember if you insist on it, I prefer to teach mathematics as a form of problem solving. How math works is a beautiful thought process- understanding how a formula was conceived is much more rewarding than simply memorizing it. But in the end it's all up to you- the student. If you want a fast run-down of everything you need to know to ace the test- I'll happily help you. However, if you're willing to think outside of the box and learn some very neat stuff, I'll open the doors to mathematical problem solving for you!

BA Rice University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a current student at Rice University studying Mathematics and Computer Science. I have lots of tutoring experience, having tutored kids at my high school and at-risk youth. I know how intimidating asking for help can be, which is why I make a point of being patient and respectful with all of my students. I think it's important for students to understand that getting tutoring can be a stress-free and beneficial decision. I have always loved math, and I am able to tutor in pre-algebra, algebra, AP Calculus AB and BC, multivariable calculus, and high school physics. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the guitar and rock climbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, serving families across all 45 school districts in the region. Whether your student attends school in HISD, Katy ISD, Cy-Fair ISD, or any other local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.

Houston students frequently seek tutoring in math, science, and English—subjects that are critical for meeting Texas state standards and preparing for standardized tests like the STAAR exam. We also work with many students on test preparation for the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses, which are increasingly popular in Houston's competitive academic environment.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is highly effective for STAAR preparation because tutors can focus on the specific areas where your student struggles—whether that's reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or writing skills. With Houston's diverse student population and varying academic needs across our 945 schools, tutors tailor their approach to match your student's learning style and fill gaps in understanding before test day.

In the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss academic goals, and identify areas needing the most support. This might involve reviewing recent test scores, classwork, or specific topics causing difficulty. The tutor uses this information to create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's objectives.

Houston's average student-teacher ratio is 16.3:1, which means classroom teachers often juggle the needs of many students at different levels. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student, adjusting pace and teaching methods to match their learning style. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students who need to catch up, move ahead, or master challenging concepts before they fall further behind in class.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget. Contact us for a personalized quote, and we can discuss flexible arrangements that work for your family's situation.
