Hello all! I am Tegan, an undergraduate at Rice University majoring in Biosciences on the pre-med track. Throughout high school and college, I have realized that the key to a successful academic career is having educators that are truly invested in a student's education. Enthusiastic instructors created exciting and engaging lessons which led to more motivated students. With my experience tutoring middle school students and adult ESL learners, I aimed to be patient with student concerns and hold a positive attitude while teaching, embodying the supportive culture I thrived in. During tutoring sessions, I hope to instill in students confidence in the material and to take ownership of their learning.I have experience tutoring junior high students Algebra 1 and 2 for 6 months. This was in a small group setting of 2-3 for an hour once a week.As a biosciences major, I have taken a multitude of biology courses and have a passion for understanding the "why" to life. Through my studies and developed study strategies, I can help students with their AP Biology Exams.I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you all. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or feedback!

I am currently a junior at Rice University, majoring in biochemistry and cell biology. I am particularly interested in tutoring math, science, writing, and test preparation. I have a strong background in tutoring over many years, and I am very comfortable working with many different kinds of students. My goal is not only to ensure success in the classroom today but to equip my students with lifelong skills that will help them to be successful in the future.

I graduated from Rice University in Houston, TX with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and a minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I was also pre-med and took all the prerequisite courses as well as the MCAT. Before college, I graduated from Hopkins School in New Haven, CT where I took a number of AP and honors classes and completed a senior project in creative writing.Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a variety of subjects from middle school all the way up to introductory college courses. I especially enjoy helping students with math or English coursework. I can also help with a variety of standardized tests, from the SSAT to the MCAT. I am very interested in helping students overcome test anxiety by learning strategies that can help them stay calm and be efficient. In particular, I want to help students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills.Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, making music, and reading. I have volunteered in a number of healthcare environments and would love to talk to any student who is interested in healthcare or wants advice on what steps they can take now to get involved in medicine. Social justice, with a focus on gender equality, is also one of my passions. Finally, I have been involved in theater, choir, and a cappella in both high school and college.

Throughout my life, I've been blessed to have a number of great teachers and mentors. These key figures guided me through high school and college, helped me succeed in competitive fellowships like the Rhodes, and pushed me to grow both as a researcher and a leader. My career so far has been highly influenced by my teachers and mentors, and it is this knowledge that drives me to teach and to tutor. I want to establish mentoring relationships with the students I work with, so I can help lead them to success in the same way that I was as a student.Because of this drive to give back, I've already amassed a number of prior experiences in teaching and tutoring. These experiences roughly fall into two major areas- the sciences, and the humanities. In the sciences, I've worked with both peers and younger students in a number of biomedical fields, and I also have experience preparing students for standardized tests like the MCAT. At Rice University, I also worked as a teaching assistant in Cell Biology, where I lectured at review sessions, assisted students individually with their questions, and even wrote some exam material. This experience was great practice in taking even the most arcane subject matter and condensing it into a format understandable by my peers, something that I think contributes to my effectiveness as a tutor. I also try to incorporate my research experience at institutions like the NIH into my tutoring in these areas, using real-world examples from cutting-edge research and scientific communication skills gleaned from poster sessions and academic publications to supplement the teaching experience.Outside the sciences, I also have two years of experience working with a student individually in the humanities. I started with this student in 8th grade; he had no opportunity for formal education in the Classics at his school, but was interested in learning about the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome. I developed tailored lessons plans for him, helping to teach him Greco-Roman mythology, Roman history, and Latin translation skills, and planning additional challenge assignments drawn from my Classics major and thesis in comparative mythology. To further supplement his education, I also worked with him to prepare for a number of contests in the Classics; within a year of starting this experience, I helped him progress to the point that he was winning regional contests through the National Junior Classical League, and medaling in national written exams such as the Medusa Mythology Exam.Whether in the sciences or humanities, my students benefit from my unique blend of experience. My varied education, with degrees in both Biochemistry and Classical Studies and advanced study in a number of fields in between, gives me the flexibility to adapt to each student and the power to supplement a student's education with perspectives from other fields. My experience in leadership development, as president of my residential college, also allows me to guide students not only as academics, but also as career- and goal-oriented individuals. Finally, my passion, intrapersonal skills, and experience with academic communication help me find the right method of teaching to get each student motivated and thriving in their fields. I look forward to forming new mentoring relationships with my students through Varsity Tutors, and can't wait to help get them on the road to success.

My name is Christi. I have a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from Baylor University. Sic'em Bears! I have also spent time working on my Masters of Chemical Engineering at Rice University. I have a year of tutoring experience at local Houston high school. I enjoy tutoring students in math and science. I love getting to connect with my students one on one.

My first tutoring experiences revolved around my younger brother and cousins- mainly tutoring them in middle school math and science. Since then, I have gone on to tutor and help students in high school, college, and graduate school. No matter the subject or the age of the student, I always focus on understanding HOW the student learns. I do this so that I can adjust my teaching style to most effectively help the student.I obtained my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Florida State University. I received my PhD in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Rice University in December 2016. While at Rice, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate genetics and graduate molecular biophysics. During this time, I was also a co-creator and mentor for the Institute of Bioengineering and Biosciences Girls STEM Initiative- a three year program where rising high school sophomore girls are engaged and mentored in STEM fields.Overall, I hope to empower students by helping them achieve better subject understanding and higher test scores.

Hi! My name is Ashton and I am a sophomore at Rice University majoring in mechanical engineering with a minor in business and certificate in engineering leadership. My goal as a tutor is to be able to establish trust between my students and I by encouragement and motivation. If a student can leave a tutoring session having learned something and happy, my job is complete :D

I am an undergraduate at Rice University, and my favorite subjects to tutor are math and science. I also enjoy doing test prep, and my experience comes from helping fellow students in high school. One of the most important aspects of tutoring is fitting the teaching style to each student. One method that works great for one student may not work well for another. Tutoring is all about coming up with different ways for my students to understand the material. If my student is not interested in the subject we are learning, I will try to find a way to tie in their interests and passions into the subject to better engage them. I want to be there for my students, not only as a tutor, but also as a friend. In addition to my interests in math and science (and learning in general), I enjoy swimming, biking, reading, and cooking. I also believe that fostering curiosity and determination are the keys to success.

Hi! I'm Thomas. I am a graduate from medical school (MD) and have completed my Master's in Public Health (MPH). I've been tutoring all my life and am excited to continue with Varsity Tutors! I specialize in most Math and Science subjects, as well as subjects directly related to medical school (and of course the MCAT). I've always enjoyed learning, and I believe anybody can improve in any subject if it's presented to them in the right way. If you're struggling don't be discouraged!

I'm a recent grad from Rice University in bioengineering with a love for science and language. I have a very wide range of academic passions, as an engineer-focused researcher who almost majored in English. I have lived in Spain for 4 months and am currently living in Costa Rica working on a 3D printed artificial leg. Through many years of classes and living abroad, my Spanish grammar is on par with, if not better than, my English grammar. I have tutored kindergarteners to grad students and everywhere between in a wide variety of subjects, including ACT test prep, and I believe that everyone is capable of learning with the right amount of patience, motivation, and strategy. In my free time I like to play sports, play board games, bake, and just adventure around.

I just finished 5 years in the Navy, and I'm headed back to Rice University this fall. I graduated from Rice in 2007 and I'll be earning a master's degree in teaching. I love math, but physics and government/history are interesting too! I love teaching in a way that's fun as well as effective - that's the great thing about tutoring; it's as individual as the student!

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

I am a PhD student in engineering at University of Michigan. I have been tutoring math and sciences for over six years. I like to use real world examples and problems to simplify different concepts.

Hi there! My name is Briana Martin, a North Carolina native. I received my Bachelor's Degree from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Journalism and Rhetoric. After moving to Houston, Texas as a part of Teach For America, I taught English and Composition for 3 years. This instruction consisted of writing/proofreading essays, rhetorical analysis, argumentation/persuasive writing, and creative writing. Furthermore, that included teaching grammar and other writing mechanics. After teaching for 3 years, I sought after the Masters of Social Policy Evaluation program at Rice University. Eager to begin a career in statistical analysis and evaluation, I graduated as a part of the first cohort of the Rice University Program. Now, I have skills in coding, data visualization, and statistical analysis. Therefore, I am excited and qualified to help you achieve your goals in a variety of subjects!

Being a recent graduate of Rice University, my working knowledge of both the Houston area and academics is strong. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals, as demonstrated by my experience leading a student-run business, mentoring employees and peers, and managing the HR department of a restaurant group.The importance of active listening and clear communication while tutoring is paramount to my teaching philosophy. My goal is to help your student realize their strengths. As a Linguistics major, much of my academic career focused on studying and understanding the nuances of English and French in both reading and writing, though I also have a strong foundation in mathematics, ranging from Algebra to AP Calculus AB. Additionally, my ACT score was 33 (99th percentile); I completed ACT tutoring courses as a high school student and am familiar with the strategies used to maximize scores. I will use Varsity's methods to enhance your student's experience with Varsity Tutors while taking their individuals needs and learning style into consideration.

Hi, my name is Calen! I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in reading and writing because they are important tools for communication and self-expression. I believe every student learns differently, so I focus on meeting students where they are and helping them grow at their own pace. I have experience tutoring both students and international professionals in English communication, reading, and writing. I've also worked as a teaching assistant, supporting students with differen

I aim to give students the skills to approach any problem with confidence. Through active problem solving and diagnostics, even the most daunting assignments and problem sets can be deconstructed into digestible information.

I am a current university student with a passion for academics that I would love to share with students!I prioritize catering to a student's learning style that might not be satisfied in their current classroom environment. Their understanding and progress comes first, as it is my job to be a supplemental resource for them to obtain their goals.I have a strong belief that any student can master any topic with the right help and mindset. I always aim for my students to grasp the concept as a whole, rather than just the problem set in front of us. This ensures that they have a detailed understanding that can be applied to any problem they might come across on an exam, and that they can carry with them beyond their time with me!

I am a rising sophomore majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science at Rice University in Houston, TX. Naturally, my favorite subjects to teach are math and computer science, particularly programming languages like Python, Java, and Scratch. I have found great enrichment in these seemingly daunting areas, and I hope to make them more easily accessible for others. As a founding member of the Ready for College Leadership club (RCL), I mentored high school freshmen and sophomores to help them succeed in high school and prepare for college admissions, while also providing academic aid. The best part of working with students is watching them grow not just as a learner, but also as a thinker. I always encourage students to be curious and let their true interests be incorporated into lessons. In my spare time, I love learning languages; I am a heritage Spanish speaker and a self-taught Portuguese speaker. I also enjoy playing guitar and practicing new songs to sing.

Hi, my name is Perry, and I am an incoming medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I graduated from Rice University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Medical Humanities and Business.When I took the SAT in 2020, I scored 1570. I utilized a private tutor who pushed me to exceed my potential. I have been tutoring for the SAT for 3 years, incorporating many of the techniques that my tutor taught me, and have helped students achieve scores that have exceeded my own! Having taken over 40 SAT exams, I am an expert on how questions are framed, the underlying math and grammar rules, and how to catch the test's deceiving tricks. My understanding of SAT allows me to walk my students through not only "what" to do, but also "why" we do something, which is ultimately what will help the students score the best come exam time.I know preparing for the SAT can be daunting. I was in your shoes not long ago, and I know that you need someone to keep you motivated and boost your confidence. To do this, I keep my sessions engaging by encouraging my students to chat with me through their thinking process as they solve problems, rather than letting them work them alone in silence. I will be there with you the whole way, and together, we can beat this test to earn your dream score!

As a TeachForAmerica alumni I believe that every student should have access to an excellent education. That is why I am dedicated to helping students progress towards their goals and learn with nobility, self discipline, endurance and with respect. Rice University, Texas A&M University, my alma maters, as well as Pat Neff Elementary, my beloved ESL campus and I believe in the importance of core values to guide learners to success. Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.

I've recently graduated with my Ph.D. in Physics from Florida State University. I have taught physics/math both one-on-one and as a teaching assistant to a large class, both in a lecture format and a lab. I am a published author of two journal articles and one pop science book (A Space Dictionary for Kids: The Everything Guide for Kids who Love Space). I grew up with science and try to share my excitement with anyone I come in contact with, student or not. When I have spare time, I read (mostly fantasy novels), play video games, and 3-D print. I have one cat, named Sunshine.

I recently graduated from the University of Virginia as a biomedical engineering major. I love math and science, mostly because I had some really great teachers who made these subjects fun for me. While at UVA, I had the opportunity to tutor a high school student in algebra, and I liked the experience so much that I now want to tutor even more! In addition to lots of math and science classes, I can also help with test prep, especially for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. In my free time, I like reading, playing racquetball, camping, and exploring new places. Let me know if I can help you in any of the subjects listed on my page!

Hi! My name is Aditi Velgekar and I'm originally from Dallas, Texas. I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying Neuroscience and Psychology on the premed track. I am incredibly passionate about learning; my favorite subjects are science and history. I've tutored high school biology, middle school science, English, and math, as well as elementary school English, science, and math in the past. I'd also love to help students be successful at standardized testing such as the SAT and help students by editing essays, whether for a class or for the college application process. I am a virtual tutor and would love to connect over Zoom. I hope I can help you!

I am a junior at Rice University working towards a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Since I moved to Houston, I have been tutoring family members to help them develop their math skills, and make sure they gain a better understanding of the subject. My experience with them made me realize that I greatly enjoy tutoring as it allows me to help others succeed in their studies. I have also worked as a lab assistant and a grader for the Fundamentals of Computer Engineering course at Rice University, and will be doing it again in the upcoming semester. I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects such as math, physics, and chemistry. However, I am most interested in math and topics related to computer science, and hardware design as I find them most challenging. As a tutor my goal is not to simply help out my students with a given subject, but to make them think critically and understand how to learn on their own, so that they overcome every obstacle that they encounter, now and in the future. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non fiction books, and scientific journals, running, and a good basketball game.

I tutored high school students in biology and have been a mentor for high school and college students doing laboratory work assisting them with experimental protocols, writing papers and putting together presentations. I am currently working in a research lab at UTHealth and am excited to get back into tutoring. I want to help students succeed academically and am up for the challenge. Plus, it's a gratifying experience that will refine my knowledge on the subject.

I am a Rice University student majoring in sociology and history. I have been blessed with the opportunity to study with people who truly care to help me develop my passion for studying the human condition and analyzing the events that lead to the formation of modern society. Therefore, I am eager to help those who want to learn by sharing my knowledge in the best way I can to help them grow. I am hard-working, patient, and always maintain a positive attitude. I look forward to working with you!

Currently a sophomore (class of 2018) at Rice University in Houston, TX, I graduated from the Episcopal High School (Alexandria, VA) in 2014. At Rice, I am working towards a Policy Studies and Asian Studies double major, focusing in both "Law and Justice" and "Chinese Language and Culture". After graduation, I hope to either continue my education in Mandarin through a Masters program, attend Law School, or, ideally, both!During High School, I was a four-year boarding student, played football and lacrosse, and received academic recognition for my Chinese language skills and writing ability. During my fourth year I was designated a "Senior Peer Tutor", and worked three shifts a week tutoring underclassmen, mostly in math and science. As my career interests have changed, so have my tutoring interests. Now, because of my strong interests in Asian Studies and Policy Studies, I spend a great deal of time either reading and writing journals, essays, and research papers for assorted social sciences courses, or studying Mandarin in Chinese language and arts classes. My tutoring experience in high school, combined with my current course load, allow me to be an effective tutor of Mandarin and Writing Skills.My tutoring "philosophy" or "style" is very informal. From my experience with Mandarin, I have learned that hard work pays off, and experienced firsthand the spectacular feeling of success as a result of "sweat equity", but at the same time, I understand that "hard work" and "stress" don't have to be synonymous. Over the summer, I spent six weeks studying abroad at Nanjing University in Nanjing, China, and was assigned a grad student tutor. My relationship with my tutor, who I met with for five hours weekly, was a hybrid friendship/pedagogy that allowed for a stress-free, laid-back learning environment that was incredibly effective in terms of my Chinese progress. Often students turn to independent tutors because they feel confused, lost, or "in-over-their-head" with the information presented in class. As a tutor, my goal is not to add to that stress, but instead to relieve it by providing my students tools that will help them succeed and gain an advantage over their classmates.Outside of academia, I am an avid lacrosse player (and captain of the Rice Club Lacrosse Team), and football fan (Go Owls!). I also enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and reading.

I graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas in 2010 with a degree in psychology and worked at a reading institute. My psychology education helped me understand why the reading institute was so effective and why many students struggle in other areas as well - they misuse their working memory! Our brains work by combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition.I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority improve their performance, which gives them confidence, which improves their performance even more. It's incredibly rewarding to be a positive example for students and watching their confidence grow until they forget what it was they were so worried about in the first place!

I've been lucky to live a rich and varied life, as my previous career as a poker player took me all across the world. Now that I've lived that dream, I'm settled down and looking forward to the chance to help young people realize their dreams.Coaching poker was one of the most gratifying experiences I had in my time with the game; I am eager for another opportunity to teach people what I have to offer.I'm also a local writer, currently freelancing for Houstonia magazine. My hobbies include music, reading, football, television, and politics, and in my spare time I play basketball, play guitar, and perform standup comedy.

Undergraduate at Rice University. Department of Computation and Applied Mathematics.

While I have a lot of admiration for school teachers and the work they do, I think personalized, private one-on-one tutoring is the best way to teach and learn. Happy students and happy tutors make the best results. That's why I am a tutor!First and foremost, I think it's very important to create a welcoming, respectful and relaxed learning environment that fosters communication and trust between tutor and student and one in which the student feels empowered. I'm a very patient and considerate person but can also be highly competitive and these attributes of my personality come through in my tutoring style. So while it's rewarding to teach children, introduce students to a new subject or help them improve at intermediate or advanced levels, if a student comes to me with a specific request such as helping them ace an exam, I will do my very best to help them reach that goal. I'm always open to questions and discussion, I listen to my students and I pride myself in providing helpful insights and finding fun, innovative and effective ways to teach and help students retain information. I want to help my students distinguish themselves!Growing up I wanted to be a history professor and continue to have an abiding interest in history. I graduated from Rice University in 2006 with a Bachelor's degree in History and in French Studies and then attended the University of Southern California where I received a Master's in Broadcast Journalism and documentary. During my free time I enjoy photography and film production, watching and playing sports, reading about history and health and speaking Spanish.

I am here to help you understand the concepts brought before you in class and to improve your grasp on the knowledge that must be mastered in the courses that you are in. I will do anything and everything in my power to help the student succeed in his/her course, and I guarantee success in those courses with my assistance. I personalize all lesson plans according to each student, and will work with them to find the best method of teaching to help them obtain a better grasp on the topics presented. I look forward to working with you students to help you succeed!

Hello! My name is Adla Farra and I am a senior at Rice University aiming to complete a Bachelor's of Science in Biosciences with a concentration in Cell Biology. I have had experience tutoring since high school in a variety of subjects including reading, mathematics, and sciences. My teaching style emphasizes compassion and communication! I'm always here to help talk and work through any confusion and will always accommodate to each student's unique learning styles. As the older sister to a sibling with dyslexia, I am confident in my abilities in navigating different learning techniques and approaches!

I recently received my undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Rice University. A Teaneck, NJ native, I have come to truly love Houston and all it has to offer. Although, I have completed coursework in a wide array of subjects, math is the subject in which I excel. I have tutored students in mathematics coursework from Arithmetic all the way up to Calculus 2. My students have ranged from ages 6 to 20, encompassing students from 1st grade all the way up to sophomores in college. Simply put, I work well with all ages, grades, and backgrounds. I can help you whether you’re trying to improve grades or understanding, regain some knowledge, or preparing for a standardized exam. With every student I tutor in mathematics, my goal is to not only improve their knowledge of the subject, but to also improve their confidence in knowing when they’ve found the correct answer. Math can be fun and easy to understand when the lesson is tailored for the particular student. I enjoy reading, listening to all kinds of music, cooking and all kinds of extreme activities like biking, hiking, rock climbing, and sky diving.

My name is Natalie, and I'm a second-year student at Rice University majoring in Biochemistry and Cell Biology as well as in English. My unusual double major is a result of my inability to choose a favorite subject--I love literature and science! This love of learning translates naturally to my role as a tutor. Because I love learning, I look for ways to transmit my passions to others by teaching them. Another reason I enjoy tutoring lies in my own experience as a student. I had to work very hard for the grades it took to get to college, so I understand the problems of the struggling student, and I try my best to relate the methods I personally used to overcome those obstacles.I've tutored high school-level Chemistry and Algebra as well as SAT prep, but I also have an extensive background in Spanish and French and am very familiar with Biology, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, among other subjects.In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, and catching up with my two lovely little sisters.

I am an undergraduate senior who will graduate from Rice University this May, where I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry. After graduation, I will be going to medical school at UT Houston in the Texas Medical Center. I have experience as a tutor at Rice, where I tutored student-athletes in subjects such as biology and chemistry, which are fields I specialize in. I have helped tutor many friends in the two scientific portions of the MCAT, and this is the discipline I am most passionate about. I am a firm proponent of helping students help themselves. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, reading, and fixing bicycles. I look forward to helping students succeed in their goals.

I recently graduated from Rice University. I received my BA with a major in political science and a minor in sociology.My tutoring style is one in which I keep the student engaged in the material. This is especially important in my subject areas, as social sciences and the humanities are about understanding and analyzing events and cultures rather than merely memorizing facts. Thus, I try to structure my tutoring sessions in a way that there is collaboration and genuine discovery, rather than me lecturing the student.My interests include playing ping pong, watching soccer, and traveling.

Get to know me professionally: Why are you passionate about helping students? I understand that navigating different forms of coursework can be difficult, especially as you continue to progress in your academic career. I believe that careful consideration should be given to how you study for a particular subject, and I am passionate about helping other students determine the best practice for them so they can strengthen their academic independence. Describe your experience working with students. I spent the latter half of my high school years tutoring my peers in addition to continued mentoring and tutoring in undergrad as well in two specific roles. As an Advisor, I provided mentorship and guidance to first-years throughout the entirety of their inaugural semesters in college and beyond. As a Fellow, I worked in intensive, monthlong programs to tutor, mentor, and prepare incoming freshmen for a collegiate education in STEM fields, though I continued to serve outside of this role during the academic year as well. In addition, I spent about two years teaching Anatomy and Physiology at the collegiate level. Where did you get your education? What degree(s) have you attained? B.A. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Rice University, 2017 M.S. in Medical Sciences, University of North Texas Health Science Center, 2019 What degree(s) are you working toward? M.D., University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine, 2025 What subjects do you tutor? Mostly STEM-related What is your favorite subject(s) to tutor, and why? I don't have a particular favorite. Different subjects require different academic mindsets and I most enjoy exploring potential approaches and finding success in that process. How would you describe your teaching philosophy and your tutoring style? My personal teaching philosophy and tutoring style revolves around the idea: "You can do hard things!" I am comfortable being as hands-on as you would like and need, but my goal is to help others build academic confidence and independence in their own abilities so that they will be better served in the entirety of their academic careers, not just with the subject in which I am tutoring. I work hard with each student to help not only myself but help them assess their strengths and weaknesses for each subject. My approach is not "one size fits all." Instead, I listen carefully to each student and work with them on reviewing and completing their actual school materials and assignments to help them efficiently develop mastery over a subject. What interests you outside of academia? Both inside and outside of academia, I find myself drawn to experiences and opportunities that expand and challenge my worldview. I am always striving to become a better version of myself and deeply value the benefits of introspection and personal growth.

I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through challenging curriculum. Though I specialize in tutoring mathematics and physics, I am experienced with and am happy to tutor a broad range of subjects.For me, the learning experience is all about the relationship between the instructor and the learner; in my experience, educators who can't convey the excitement behind a given topic often leave their students behind. I firmly believe that once you get excited about learning something and seriously take ownership of that process, the knowledge and material will follow. In that sense, my job is to get you excited about learning!
