Hey there! I'd love to create a friendly and relaxed environment for you to learn. Learning can be hard, but having someone to explain how to fill the gaps in your knowledge makes is less hard. In my experience, people learn the best when someone is supporting them, and I'd love to be part of that support a student needs.

I am delighted to guide you in your journey of education, advancement, and curiousity. Children and adolescents of all ages are the hope for the future. I connect and build strong rapport with young, bright minds as I tailor the tutoring process, rewards and reminders, and communication to the student's preferences and ability. My experience with children involves tutoring and babysitting since my adolescent years, coaching volleyball since my undergraduate years, and teaching preschool in between medical school and my Masters program. I have earned an International Baccalaureate certificate and high school diploma from McAllen Memorial High School, a Bachelors of Science in Biology with Minors in Chemistry and Medical Humanities from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and I am currently gaining a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am strongly suited to tutor in the sciences, math, English, Spanish, Korean, psychology, and standardized tests (SAT, ACT, MCAT, and STEP 1). Personally, I understand the pressure and demands of standardized examinations; therefore, I wish to offer my advice and care for those struggling with these types of assessments. Asking for help is not a weakness, especially in the realm of education. I anticipate bonding with my students and tutoring them to the best of my abilities.

As an educator with over a decade of teaching experience, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and expertise in science with you all. I have a bachelors degree in Biology from Dillard University in New Orleans Louisiana, and a Masters degree in Educational Administration from Houston Baptist University. My teaching philosophy is always centered around the student and how I can bring real world experiences to what they are being taught. Every student has their own individual needs and way of learning. As their instructor it is my responsibility to have them explore their gifts and talents, providing an environment that will maximize their learning to meet their individual needs. It is important for me to teach in a way that employs a variety of teaching strategies that the students will understand. Teaching is my passion, a life-long process of reflecting and making necessary adjustments. It is my belief that all students will learn with my guidance and support, and be successful in life with whatever path they choose.

I have always been fascinated with science since I was a kid. I always performed really well in the science fairs in elementary school and middle school. When I went to high school I took an interest in physics. I eventually went to college to get a degree in physics. This was when I published my first paper for the European Journal of Physics. I was also fascinated with programming and the way the internet works today. I began to learn the programming language python. Then I learned ruby which was easier. I then set out to learning jQuery, Javascript, Java and HTML&CSS. Now I am fascinated with the connections between quantum physics and the arrival of the world wide web we have today. I am practicing the art of launching a website and plan on learning machine learning someday after I learn C C++ and C#! quantum physics and programming are challenges but that is only because they are adventures. No adventure was ever easy but they are always worth it!

I am a recent medical school graduate. I am honored to have the privilege to make life changing decisions, but I decided to take a year off before starting residency. I have always challenged myself to the highest degree, and I would help your child do so if given the opportunity. One of my strengths in tutoring includes my ability to work with special needs children. I have had the opportunity to work with both ADHD and Autistic children during my college years, and I have gained the expertise to effectively produce positive results in a behavioral and academic setting. In such cases, I believe repetition is the strongest technique in which one can produce results. Patience and repetition in general are effective in helping children that have special needs.I am originally from India, but I grew up Japan. I had the privilege to obtain a world-class education in both of these countries. I am highly adaptable to all forms of environment. I majored in biology and psychology at Houston Baptist University before attending medical school. I am currently in pursuit of a MBA in health care administration. The degrees helped gain expertise on various aspects of the academic spectrum. I am confident in my ability to teach both math and science. I am a very systematic and methodical person. These traits help communicate mathematics in clear and concise manner.Overall I am patient, persistent, and assertive. These aspects of my personality have been effective in my prior teaching experiences. I have always dedicated time to tutor younger classmates during medical school which has helped me tremendously in retaining the material. After I have taught a particular subject matter, if my student can teach the subject matter effectively back to me, then the material is better retained. I have passed multiple strenuous nine hour United States medical licensing exams, and I believe I have the skills one needs to help your child improve in his or her test taking skills. I would be honored to work with your child and improve his or her overall academic experience.

I am a native Houstonian who attended HBU, and then earned a law degree from the University of Houston. My first tutoring experience actually happened during law school, when I used a writing tutor to help me improve with my own writing. I found the experience very helpful, and was able to go on to be published in a law journal. I have also taught English as a Second language for the past two years to adults. These experiences have taught me the importance of creating a positive and encouraging learning environment, where students feel safe to express themselves and ask questions. I also try to explain concepts in multiple ways to help my student grasp the concepts.I enjoy tutoring writing and essays. Writing, both creatively and technically, is a necessary skill to succeed in today's media-centered world, and I enjoy helping my students succeed in this area.In my free time, I enjoy being active outside with sports like cycling, swimming and running. I love spending time with my little niece, reading, and listening to music.

I love math so much that it has become a lifestyle. I used to read Harry Potter and think "If only magic were real, I'd study so hard that I'd be the best wizard ever!" (pardon my tastes if you're not into fantasy)Well magic is real. Magic is the underlying mechanism of reality: how the world works, and math is the language it's written in.I've heard things like "math is cold and calculating," but I would argue that math is closer to English and the arts than it is to the sciences. Math is about curiosity, creativity, and intuition; you're writing spells to solve the problems of the world.Any calculator can do arithmetic, but if I can show you why the math exists in the first place, and how to invent it yourself, then and only then have I done my job.

They've successfully navigated HBU's rigorous curriculum and understand the specific challenges students face in their programs. This direct experience allows them to provide targeted guidance that goes beyond general tutoring.

HBU alumni tutors excel across a wide range of subjects, including business, sciences, humanities, theology, and engineering.

Whether you need help with core classes or upper-level major requirements, you can connect with tutors who've mastered the same material.

Your first session is a chance for you and your tutor to establish goals and assess your current understanding.

They can share insights about effective study strategies that worked at HBU, explain how to approach assignments the way professors expect, and help you navigate the transition to more advanced coursework. This insider perspective accelerates your learning and confidence.

In a classroom, instruction is designed for the average student, but personalized 1-on-1 tutoring adapts entirely to your pace, learning style, and specific gaps.

This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and deeper understanding.
