Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Arlington

I am an experienced elementary educator who enjoys bringing fun and excitement into every lesson that I teach. I am a great listener and love hearing students' ideas and interests that can blend seamlessly with what we are learning or practicing!

Teaching is not just a job for me, it is a passion. I believe in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and supported. My teaching philosophy is centered around fostering critical thinking, creativity, and love for learning. I strive to tailor my instruction to meet the individual needs of each student, using a variety of engaging and interactive teaching strategies. My goal is to empower students, helping them build confidence in their abilities to reach their full potential. I am dedicated to continuous growth and professional development, always seeking new ways to improve my teaching practice. Together, lets embark on an exciting education journey!

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington and Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Tyler. While pursuing my undergraduate education, I became passionate about tutoring younger nursing students and carried my joy of knowledge sharing through being a preceptor in my career as a nurse. Since graduating, I was a cardiac RN for two years, where I encouraged others on my unit to form a study group to pursue a national certification with me. I then practiced as an ICU nurse for four years, during which I balanced working and school online to pursue my master's degree. Most recently, I have been loving my role as a Family Nurse Practitioner for the past two years. I tutor AANP, NCLEX and professional certification prep, as well as pharmacology and science. I truly believe education can be enjoyable and is often better retained when it's funny or quirky! Anyone can have education adapted to where they are, if they're willing to put in the work, and education is powerful.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Korean with a focus on TESOL and Translation. I also received my Master of Arts in TESOL. Since graduating, I have worked with several language academies to discuss new methods of teaching, while also teaching subjects like Math, ESL, and Vietnamese to students K-9th. I can be very passionate about languages and culture, and specialize in pronunciation practice and writing skills. I always rely on a variety of media to improve reliability and make things more personal, as I believe that connecting with others and exchanging ideas is the hallmark of education. In my free time, I enjoy musical activities, watching shows on Netflix, and playing video games with friends.

I believe that knowledge is the foundation upon which everyone can stand. Pursuit of knowledge is the greatest duty we have. Understanding that, knowing the areas that we lack can bring us our greatest fortune, and therefore self reflection is a tool we must use. When I tutor I focus on the concepts and ideas that the student feels uncomfortable with, because that is where the most growth can occur. Practice makes us better, and guidance helps us grow.

I have 20 years of real world experience in business. I can teach the following licenses: SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 66. I am a current licensed senior broker at a large firm. I have assisted with in-person training to pass these licenses and have worked teaching adults my entire career. Cannot wait to work with you!

Hi! I am Srujana Gattupalli. I am currently an Applied Scientist at Amazon. I work in the field of computer science and machine learning. As a graduate student during my PhD, I have had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for introductory computer science courses, and I have also tutored students taking classes in various areas, including programming, algorithms, and research topics. Both as a teaching assistant and as a tutor, I naturally worked mainly with students who had difficulties following the course.I have been a tutor in the past and I would love to tutor for any computer skills, programming language or tutor math/ statistics.

I am a full-time university student at the University of Texas at Arlington. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine since I first started as a freshman in high school. I was able to participate as a tutor for my past high school's club and became passionate about helping students and anyone who is in need of help. I have tutored in Math, Science, and English on a K-12 level. I firmly believe that all students can excel in any subject with the right help and I am here to help!

I am passionate about helping students succeed and excel in their studies. While getting my undergrad in English from the University of Texas at Arlington I was a writing tutor for college students, many of whom were foreign students still new to the language. I loved helping all of my students succeed in their classes, become better writers, and helping improve their confidence.My philosophy for tutoring is that I believe my sessions should be client led; that is, the client calls the shots and I am an impartial reviewer. I will ask what the student wants to focus on in the session and we will collaborate on mutually agreeable changes to the document. I won't overstep my place as a tutor- this is their essay, sometimes personal in nature, and I will be fair and nice!

I am currently pursuing my MFA at the University of Texas at Tyler, and a 2022 graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington, receiving a BFA in studio arts with a concentration in painting. While at the university, I was a student-athlete, being part of the cheerleading team for three years and competing with them twice. I am a Texas native currently living and working in the East Texas/DFW area. When I started college, I was a kid just going through the motions. Then I had a professor who I connected with, and they helped me discover the path I would like to take in my life. I want to teach art in college and help people how this teacher helped me. I believe that everyone is an artist and that in its most basic form, art is a form of communication and can help us understand ourselves better. While I concentrated on painting for my degree, I work mostly in watercolor. I am also knowledgeable in drawing and sculpture.

As an enthusiastic educator with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, I bring over 5 years of experience in tutoring, focusing on College and University Admissions and preparation for the LMSW exam. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging environment that empowers students to articulate their thoughts and reach their academic objectives. I tailor my approach to accommodate individual learning styles, employing practical examples and personalized strategies that foster both confidence and understanding. I am deeply motivated by my commitment to student success, and I find great joy in guiding them through their educational journeys. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and learning about new ways to innovate mental health care.

My goal is to cultivate experience in tutoring by promoting student engagement through encouragement and discovery learning.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, with both a BA in English and a MA in Humanities, in the areas of Writing, Literature and History. I've taught at several universities overseas and in the United States. I've primarily taught Composition and Literature at the university level and have also taught English in High Schools and Middle Schools in the US, in Texas. For two years I taught English to Chinese students on an online platform, so I'm used to delivering course work in that format. I enjoy teaching Writing and helping students to prepare for their future academic careers by giving them a tool they can use for future essays, and exams. I've had a number of students return and thank me for helping them to be better prepared for their academic courses, allowing them to make better grades and be more confident in their abilities. Learning is something that never stops, we learn while in school, but we'll continue to learn about people and cultures around us as we interact with the world.

From October 2009 through August 2014, I worked as a tutor (20+ hours per week) with a highly respected tutoring company. I tutored students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math. I also prepared students for the SAT and ISEE. In September 2013, I started my own business doing private tutoring. I have continued to work with students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math, and I have continued to prepare students for the SAT and ISEE. In general, about half of my students are doing test preparation and half are getting some kind of help with school. At the tutoring center where I worked, we had a number of students who were being tutored in order to become very advanced in their studies at school and to gain admission to highly selective colleges by getting top-notch scores on their SAT. We also had students who were struggling to do well in their classes and therefore needed help with their homework and with understanding the material they were learning in school. I worked successfully with both kinds of students. My approach to tutoring is definitely gentle, but also firm in terms of expecting my students to work hard during the tutoring sessions and to work diligently on any homework I might assign. I am sensitive to the learning styles of my students and do everything I can to communicate in a way that makes sense to them. I often make use of visuals and manipulatives in teaching various concepts. My goal is to enable students to really understand the material they are studying. I am happy to use whatever school or other materials that parents and/or students would like. I am also prepared to suggest additional materials that might be helpful for a particular student in a specific subject area. I am familiar with a number of very helpful resources. Before working at the tutoring center, I was actively involved in the homeschooling community. I homeschooled my older two children through high school and my younger two children through 8th grade. I also taught enrichment classes in the areas of math, science, music, and art to students of all ages in a homeschool co-op, for a total of eight years.

I obtained my Bachelors degree in Anthropology with a minor in Biology from the University of Texas at Arlington. I transferred from the University of Southern California which provided a great study ethic and amazing laboratory resources. I am currently attending the University of Texas at Houston Medical School's graduate program for Genetic Counseling.My tutor experience includes 4 years teaching low-income students age K-7th grade and a year creating interactive activities for a STEM camp (Science,Technology,Engineering, Math). I have also tutored my mother in college Algebra after she went back to school two years ago. I absolutely love math but my favorite subject to tutor is chemistry. Science is such a great subject filled with opportunities to explore and understand our world better- chemistry is one of the fundamentals.Learning is an adventure, an art that can never be taken away. When tutoring, I try to relate the information back to the student and make it an adventure.In my spare time, I love to run, perfect yoga poses, listen to poetry and watch netflix.I look forward to exploring this wonderful world of science and/or math with your child.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Arlington with two Master's of Education degrees. The first degree is in Literacy Studies, where I learned how to help strugglers and emergent bilinguals become better readers. My second degree is in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I have spent the last three decades helping people learn how to do various things--from water safety instruction and playing the piano--from phases of matter to Shakespeare! I am a well rounded scholar and I am a life-long learner. I hope to start a PhD in Literacy Studies in 2023.I believe that every person CAN and WILL learn. I also believe that learning can be fun. This was a challenge during the pandemic, but my students and I succeeded in creating a collegial atmosphere of engaged learners.

I am a graduate from Texas A&M Univeristy Commerce. I have been tutoring since I was in college. I have tutored one on one tutoring, online tutoring and group tutoring.I have worked with various age groups of students from elementary to college level and helped them to succeed in their course work. Even though my major is Biology, I am addicted to Maths and I love working with problem solving skills. I have been tutoring in Mathematics and Science for almost four years. At first, I like to know the level of a student in the subject first and then start sessions accordingly; as I believe everyone has different capabilities. In addition, I want students to feel comfortable in the sessions so that they can maximize their learning abilities in a given amount of time. I love dancing, listening to music, reading novels, cooking and travelling. When I am free I hang out with my friends and watch movies!

I am a recent PhD graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), where I also received my Bachelor of Science in Physics. I studied the physics of solid matter as it pertains to materials for solar energy applications. Throughout my program, as well as my undergraduate career, I had a tendency to form and lead study groups, which helped me instill the subject matter of my courses through teaching and debate, and ensured my academic success. During my undergraduate career, I worked at the Physics Clinic, where I tutored technical physics 1 & 2. During my graduate career, I thought modern physics and electronics labs, worked as a math and physics tutor at the local community college, taught SAT math for a non-profit organization, and gave private lessons in math, physics, and programming to both high school and college students. There is not one subject that I enjoy tutoring over others, as I am equally interested in all things. I practice patience and utmost respect with all my clients and strive to motivate, encourage, and support each student on their path to higher education. I am flexible in my teaching and quickly tailor my approach to the unique needs of my students. Outside of academia, I play music, read foreign books, study foreign languages, cook, and exercise.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington with my Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics, and have recently been accepted for my PhD in Astrophysics at the University of New Mexico. I am extremely passionate about physics and mathematics because they perfectly intertwine to bring us elegant descriptions of our universe and profound insights into the nature of reality. Throughout my time in my studies, I found myself sharing what I learned in my classes to my friends and family; this lead me to realize my call to teaching. I have been teaching the astronomy labs at my university for 3 years and recently taught high school physics for the Upward Bound program. I love teaching introductory physics and calculus because they lay the groundwork for understanding higher level concepts. Currently, I am involved in researching the environments of supermassive blackholes and tests of General Relativity. Outside of academics, I love playing video games, reading fantasy books, and playing my guitar.

With over 13 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, my main goal was to understand and recognize student's personal characteristics, experiences, their self concept, attitude, level of anxiety, and study habits. I try to be a side by side guide to connect their prior knowledge with new information. I hope to get them to understand that they are learners, and that their opinions, ideas, voices, and comments are supported and valued. Along with teaching them, I intend to work with them so that they can assume responsibility for their own motivation, coping skills, and sense of control over life. Overall, I work as a facilitator of learning, assisting my students in the process of growing and enhancing their knowledge to better themselves in the future.

I am an educator who believes in student-centered learning.I got my start teaching when I tutored students at a University Writing Center as I was earning my M.A. in English Rhetoric. I continued teaching as a long-term substitute at a preparatory school after that. I enjoy being part of a process that engages students in the subjects they love, and teaching them to love subjects they haven't learned to find appreciation for quite yet.I currently teach language classes for a well-known company as well.

Hello My name is Contessa Ratcliff. I am a Texas native who LOVES the Dallas Cowboys!!! I have been in education for 10 years and I enjoy watching students become confident and grow!

I have been tutoring most of my life. I tutored several years at the colleges I've attended and privately. I've helped the students understand the foundation of math. I've also explained new methods that were being introduced. Academia is constantly changing the way that math problems are being solved. I stay abreast with the changes by constantly learning and increasing knowledge. The best thing I can do for my students is to give them the best comprehension of the material. I have many tips and tricks that help my students not only figure out the problems but remember how to do them when taking tests. I feel one factor for passing any class is for each individual to believe they can pass it. By entering into a course with a positive mindset they will not only relieve stress and test anxiety but will also be confident with the subject matter. I've tutored many students of all ages and believe I can help any student succeed. When given the opportunity to tutor, I will help my students thrive.

I am a veteran teacher with seven years of experience in grades K-5. I've had the pleasure of teaching in both South Carolina and Georgia, with vast experience in literacy and math intervention, as well as Talented and Gifted differentiation. For the past two years I have served as a primary interventionist for a group of students in my reading and math classes; I also supplemented students in Fulton County's virtual 6th grade math program through small group instruction on 6th grade math standards.I am a graduate of Roanoke College with a major in History and a minor in Elementary Education. I hold a graduate degree in Education Policy and Leadership Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington, and an endorsement in Talented and Gifted Education from the University of South Carolina. I recently won the Teacher of the Year award at my school, and I am certified in both Project Based Learning and STEM Education.An avid reader myself, I have a deep passion for teaching students how to read, and how to improve their reading comprehension. I also love teaching math, and have a deep understanding of how skills "spiral" in both the Common Core and Georgia math standards. With the advent of virtual teaching and learning this year, I spent the last quarter of the school year teaching online, so I am well-versed in a multitude of virtual resources and learning platforms.I believe learning should be fun and have honed my ability to integrate all subjects into learning "experiences," which are engaging and challenging for students. All of my students are taught the growth mindset, and through a series of small goals we work together to tackle even the hardest of subjects.

Giving students the tools they need to accomplish things they thought they never could and building their confidence in their ability to achieve their goals
