Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I am a junior electrical engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin, and I tutor mathematics. My primary tutoring experience centers around introductory calculus and differential equations.

I currently attend The University of Texas at Austin. I am in pursuit of a degree in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in embedded systems and instrumentation. I have tutored many people over the years, starting in high school. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I have studied chemistry,various levels of math, biology, and coding most recently. I did policy debate in high school and went to nationals a few times. This translated to me receiving a high score in the writing portion of the ACT and SAT. I have done very well so far at UT. I am researcher that has been published in the field of optics. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, cooking and traveling the world.

Grad student at UHCL in Computer Science.I have a passion for programming and helping other learn to code and the fundamentals of logic needed to think as a programmer.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Plan II Honors along with a minor in Biology. During my years as an undergrad, I served as a peer adviser to help incoming freshmen prepare for college-level classes; an editor for both my university's literary journal and research journal; and a Mandarin Chinese teacher for beginning learners. After graduation, I began tutoring ESL students from China and eventually succeeded in raising their English scores by a full letter grade at the end of the semester. With more than 5 years of mentoring, tutoring, and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialtiesreading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me to both expand my education and aid a greater amount of people. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing; playing the piano, violin, and ukulele; pet-sitting kittens or puppies; and trying adventurous foods.

Tutoring is my passion. Working one-on-one with students gives them the focus they need to grasp difficult concepts. I appreciate that each student is unique with a specific learning style. Therefore, I tailor my sessions to fit the student's needs. I am very patient, encouraging, and reliable.With over 20 years of tutoring experience, I have consistently helped students raise their grade level and improve their mastery of the subject matter. As a results-oriented tutor, I am reliable and professional. I am organized and arrive at every tutoring session prepared. For each student I tailor my teaching style to match their learning skills. I maintain good communication with the parents of my students and with their teachers when I have been asked to contact their teachers. My passion is education, and I enjoy conveying this enthusiasm to my students in the following areas: Art History and AP Art History; American, World, and European History and AP levels; English, World, and American Literature; English Language Arts; Theology; Government; Social Studies; and French I, II, III, IV and AP level French as well as French conversation and trip planning.

Hi there! I'm Aishah, a student at the University of Texas at Austin on the pre-med track. I know firsthand how demanding math and science courses can be, and I'm here to help you conquer them with confidence!

I recently left my post as a graduate student and researcher at Stanford University to pursue a career in medicine. My educational journey has been a long one, but I've always loved learning and that love has kept me in school (whether for better or worse :P) for more years than I can count. Though I don't plan on being a student forever, the time that I've spent preparing for college, graduate school, and now medical school has reminded me of how enabling a strong academic record can be.I've been tutoring since I was in high school and have worked with students at every level of education. I specialize in teaching from a very fundamental perspective and in building concepts from the ground up but also enjoy helping students to "just get done" with their homework. Though I'm particularly fond of math and science, I can provide assistance in almost any subject (from Latin to world geography to art history), and can also help in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT, GRE, and MCAT.Above all though, my approach to tutoring is simply about having fun and inspiring students to do their best. Assignments and tests are really just chances for students to demonstrate how much they already know, and allowing each student to shine at his or her brightest is what tutoring is all about.

I'm a college student at UT Austin studying Philosophy and Biomedical Engineering. I've tutored students from 2nd grade to college in subjects ranging from basic math to E & M Physics, but most of my experience is in SAT and ACT prep. I have pride in my ability to assess where students are and what they need to achieve their goals, and hope to work with many more students through Varsity.

Hello! My name is Teacher Amie and I am so thankful for the opportunity to help your child unlock their learning potential. I have three amazing kids of my own, and I truly understand the desire to give our children the best opportunities life has to offer. I have a Bachelors degree in Communication from the University of Texas at Austin and my teaching certification in Language Arts/Reading. I have been privileged to tutor children ages 3-15 in one-on-one and groups classes for over 5 years, and I specialize in phonics, pre-reading, reading, comprehension and writing. My enthusiasm for life and love of learning is evident in my classroom, and I pride myself in my abilities to connect with and motivate students of all ages and skill levels. I believe that a strong education is the most important building block in a child's life, and I look forward to helping your child succeed beyond their wildest dreams!

I would like to help students with achieving their goals by providing simple and intuitive techniques and processes to learn and solve problems. I'm currently pursuing a chem E degree at UT Austin.

Hi, My name is Bonita Hall and I am currently a Sophomore Physics/Math student at the University of Texas at Austin.

Hello! I am a CELTA certified ESL instructor in Chicago, and I have a Masters in Special Education from the University of Texas, Austin. I am interested in helping you in your special needs whether it is adult English proficiency, elementary school curriculum, French language learning, or reading and writing tutoring. My strengths are also in social sciences as I have a bachelor's in sociology and French.

Hi, I'm a citation master! By day, I help restore buildings; by night, I help students succeed.I have a Master of Science in Historic Preservation and Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While both of these degrees are design-oriented, each placed heavy emphasis on research and writing, public speaking, art and general history, logical reasoning, and a clear synthesis and presentation of ideas. I specialize in grammar and writing technique; study skills and organization; public speaking; reading comprehension; world, US, medieval, and art histories; ACT Reading, Writing, and English; AP English Language; and college admissions essays and preparation.I love conducting sessions as "learning labs" where open and honest discourse is the foundation from which critical knowledge is gleaned. My approach is threefold: create an inclusive, welcoming learning community that encourages and rewards exploration and curiosity; present the course material in a way that resonates deeply with each unique student and introduces them to new ideas each week; and foster critical thinking skills that can be applied in all schoolwork. Instead of recitation or simple coverage of lecture and reading material, my goal is to encourage students to consider differing viewpoints, feel comfortable expressing their beliefs, and reflect deeply upon how their values and learning style can translate to all work, both inside and outside of the classroom. Overall, I believe teaching and tutoring should foster skills that afford practical, tangible applications in other courses as well as in personal, professional, and social realms.

I've just moved back to America after spending nearly 3 years teaching English in Japan. It was an amazing experience and I really learned to enjoy and appreciate the small class sizes our school offered (from 1 to 6 students). I think one-on-one lessons are very beneficial for students, and I would love to continue teaching here. Before leaving for Japan, I enjoyed working as a susbitute for Katy ISD. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in history, and I also feel very comfortable teaching grammar, reading, writing, editing, and Japanese. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading books, riding my bike, or watching any of Houston's great sports teams. Go Texans!!

I have experience working with children from ages 1-15 years old teaching math, science, reading comprehension. I participated in the UTeach program at the University of Texas at Austin from 2013-2016 as a science, math, and after-school STAAR instructor for students in 2nd to 5th grade. Additionally, I tutored kids from ages 8-16 years of age assisting with homework help, test preparation, and study and testing skills. I taught Cigarro Elementary as a student summer teacher for Teach For America for 4th grade, teaching math and language arts.I recently graduated from University of North Texas with an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and work with children, teens, and adults as a Licensed Professional Counseling Intern to provide comprehensive therapy to clients of all demographics and presenting concerns.I am a personable individual who enjoys connecting with others. I adopt a flexible teaching style in order to cater to all varying student's needs and learning style.

In my family, the importance of education has always been stressed. My parents and grandparents instilled a love of learning in me very early in life that has continued throughout my education. I hope to share that love of learning with my students with every tutoring experience. I have both a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Auburn University and a master's chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. My education at both of these institutions provided me with a strong foundation in mathematics and chemistry. I have completed extensive coursework in both those areas.While working on my master's degree, I worked as a teaching assistant, teaching courses and providing extra tutoring help for undergraduate college age and adult students. In addition to teaching at the University of Texas at Austin, I served as a mentor at the local Boys and Girls Club in Austin. TX assisting middle school and high school students in various math and science related subjects. As a tutor, I work to help students to improve their grades and gain confidence in their abilities. Tutoring students is a very rewarding experience for me and through teaching, I hope to inspire students to become the next generation of engineers, scientists, and other professionals.Please contact me for any questions or for more information about the subjects I am available for and for scheduling.

I am a second year student in law school in Austin, TX.

My goal is to help you get where you want to go, whether it is across the stage or across the country to Cambridge. I specialize in mathematics, Newtonian physics, and logic.I am a graduate petroleum engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin. My graduate research is focused on modeling friction losses between the drill string and wellbore during drilling operations. I did my undergrad at UT as well and majored in petroleum engineering and Plan II Honors (an interdisciplinary honors liberal arts program).

Personal Facts and Style: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Native English Speaker and No Accent (These are important to some students) Patient and Friendly Like to explain things step by step and write a lot on the white board! ALWAYS open to questions and suggestions from students and parents Background: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have always enjoyed teaching new concepts to people, whether formally or informally. To paraphrase an old TV series title, I would say "Have books, will travel" to describe my passion for teaching. Of course, now these "books" are often online, and we travel with laptops and tablets. But learning will always be associated with the word books, in my opinion. My experience includes all levels of mathematics, including calculus, business calculus, and multi-variable calculus. I also love teaching the fundamentals such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I am very comfortable in teaching computer-based topics such as Cloud Computing concepts as well as specifics for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Tutoring Approach: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When tutoring, I first try to understand the student's specific goals and needs. Maybe it's help with HW. Maybe it's general concepts. Perhaps it's a standardized test such as AP, SAT, GRE. What does the student need and what are his/her goals? How can I help? That's my approach. I try to make sessions interactive to make the learning process interesting. This also helps reinforce student learning. For 1-1 sessions, this is relatively easy to do. For group sessions, I try to ask students if they understand, and I give them time to solve the problems that I present. Subjects of Interest to Me (not a complete list) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Science is awesome right? From the biochemical reactions inside of our cells to the extreme biological adaptations of deep-diving sperm whales to the long distance migration of some birds, nature never ceases to amaze me. I love Biology (especially Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Cancer Biology), Chemistry (especially Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry), and Physics (Classical and Modern). I enjoy tutoring in these subjects as stand-alone or as part of the MCAT exam. Current Endeavors ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently working on Machine Learning (ML), and specifically neural networks. I use Python (with the Tensor Flow and Kera packages) and Jupyter Notebooks. I also use various tools in the cloud, and I set up billing alerts and cost constraints to ensure that I stay within my prescribed budget. I am also analyzing data such as my own Apple health data (XML format). There are many tools available for data analysis. I like using Microsoft Fabric along with the Azure Cloud, as it provides a good end-to-end solution.

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!

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I'm studying International Relations, Spanish, and Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I love the language!My ultimate goal in using this platform is to help other students. Being a student myself, I understand how frustrating it can be to have difficulties with a topic. I'm here to help ease the frustration :)

Hi I'm a senior at UT Austin studying biology pre-med with a certificate in business foundations. I remember high school being tough and teachers couldn't really help me one-on-one, so I'm here to help you with anything you may be struggling with!

Hi, I'm Ebonie! I bring 18 years of experience in elementary education to every tutoring session, including time as a classroom teacher, a dual language educator, and now as an instructional coach supporting teachers and students across an entire school district in North Texas. My passion is helping young learners build confidence in reading and language arts. I specialize in early literacy, phonics, and foundational writing skills using evidence-based, structured literacy strategies. I also have extensive experience supporting bilingual learners. If English is not your child's first language, your child is in great hands. I believe every child learns differently, and I take time to understand each student's unique strengths, learning style, and goals before diving in. My sessions are encouraging, structured, and paced to meet your child right where they are. I am also currently completing my doctoral degree in Educational Leadership, so I understand the dedication it takes to grow as a learner at every level. Whether your child needs support with reading fluency, phonics, writing, or K-5 academics, I would love to be a trusted resource for your family. Let's work together to build the skills and confidence your child deserves!

I have a Bachelors and Masters in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin. In addition, I recently passed all exams to become a Certified Professional Accountant in the state of Texas. I served as a Teaching Assistant and Resident Assistant at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a passion for teaching and helping others. In my free time, I like to lift weights, run, listen to music, watch movies and travel.

I am a junior studying Neuroscience and Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I love volunteering in my community with non-profit organizations, and I have previous experience working with the homeless population and academic organizations. I am extremely passionate about math, which has been one of my strongest suits since elementary school, and I continued to receive training in abacus and mental math. I can help students in elementary and middle school math subjects, as this is an important foundation to have for future math courses.

I am a former high school English teacher with an MFA in Writing from Pacific University Oregon, a BA in English from The University of Texas at Austin, and a lifetime teaching certification for the State of Texas in Secondary English. I spent six years in the classroom and covered all aspects of English/Language Arts. I taught grammar, reading comprehension, test-taking strategies, study skills, writing (including personal narratives, persuasive essays, research papers, creative writing, and essays for standardized tests). I also taught all forms of literature, including poetry, novels, short stories, mythology, Shakespeare, and The Odyssey. I worked in nonprofit education reform and served in an instructional leadership role for a prestigious and rigid alternative certification program. I had the opportunity to work hands-on with new teachers in both elementary and secondary grade levels for both public and charter school systems. I observed, coached, and advised new teachers in their classroom practices, lesson-plan preparations, and implementation of those lesson plans. Teaching is at the core of my unique skillset. I am a well-rounded individual with an ability to relate and connect with students and adults of all ages. This is especially due to my diverse career background, my competitive weightlifting hobby, and my wide love for reading. These things keep me grounded, focused, and dedicated. I love teaching students of all ages and helping them to succeed and to love learning. Teaching requires a unique combination of communication skills, metacognition, patience, and an appreciation for challenges. It is my job to ensure a student can relate to the material, stay focused on the lesson, and discover motivation while working towards the end goal. I want every student I work with to walk away learning something new, to feel a sense of accomplishment, and to experience increased confidence at the end of each session. Finally, I know the best teachers are the ones who understand the importance of being a student themselves. As a result, the more I teach, the more I learn about the subject. This enables me to put myself in my students' shoes and see things from their perspective while also fully understanding the adult perspectives of their teacher and parents. Thank you! Jodi

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Physics degree (Bachelor of Science) in May 2015. I currently live near campus and look forward to tutoring students in the area. I love teaching and helping with math and physics! I also have a strong writing background that comes from independently-publishing a novel, so I am happy to help you with the flow and format of your writing assignments. (I m also a bit of a grammar Nazi.)Interesting things about me: I researched solar cell development in Germany for a summer (ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch), was a quarterfinalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (2013), and I collect bookmarks. :)

Life is like music. With proper technique and daily practice there's nothing you can't do.My favorite thing about science and math is the ability to solve a problem in radically different ways to achieve the same result. There's some way to make sense of it all for everyone! My goal is to find out what makes sense for you!

I am a second business major at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout high school I gained a lot of tutoring experience with students from K-12th. Specifically I love english, spanish and business subjects! I also enjoy helping students with college applications because those are always stressful and after going through the process I realized what resources are the best to use when applying.

Hi! My name is Yash Kavadia, and I'm currently a Finance major at the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business. I graduated from Bergen County Academies, one of the top-ranked public high schools in the country, and I've always had the passion and patience for helping others succeed too. Over the years, I've tutored students in subjects ranging from elementary school math and English to high school AP classes to SAT prep and college prep. I personalize every lesson to match the student's unique learning style and goals. I personalize every session according to the student, their pace, and their goals and deadlines. My approach focuses on building confidence, mastering concepts, and making learning engaging and effective. I know how stressful academics and test prep can be, and my goal is to make things simpler and more manageable for my students. Whether you're trying to boost a grade, prep for the SAT, or strengthen your college applications, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to help you reach your potential! Especially with school starting, this is the perfect time to start and get ready and ahead.

I have been tutoring students for the past 4 years through in-person centers like Kumon and Gideon, as well as through virtual platforms. Academically, I am currently studying Business at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I specialize in elementary reading and math as well as standardized preparation, and I approach each tutoring session with one goal: to create a space where students feel supported, encouraged, and capable of succeeding. I tailor every lesson to the student in front of me, whether that means breaking down complex concepts, using interactive learning strategies, or simply helping them believe in their own potential. What drives me most is seeing the transformation that happens when a student realizes they can do something they once thought was impossible. Personalized learning doesn't just improve scores; it changes mindsets towards learning. That's the impact I hope I am able to make with every student.

I am passionate about helping students feel confident and be successful in their learning! As a student at UT Austin with broad experience in science, lab work, research, and mentoring, I truly understand how important it is to connect what is happening in the classroom to real-world scenarios. I've been a tutor for three years now, which has taught me that every learner approaches challenges differently. I hope to create an environment where all students feels supported and excited to learn.

I am a 4th grade teacher who is passionate about helping students feel confident, capable, and excited about learning. I love working with elementary students and supporting them as they build strong foundations in reading, writing, and math. Every child learns differently, so I take the time to understand each student's strengths and tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering. I'm fairly new to formal tutoring but I've been helping my five children with their homework for the last 18 years. I consider math and science my favorite subjects, with physics being one of my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed. Rote memorization is not my strong suit, I believe in really understanding the underlying organizing principles. In my other job I design houses, and when I'm not doing that I love to read, and hike and do some woodworking now and then.

I have seven years of teaching experience, including teaching both AP and IB English courses. I also work as an essay examiner for the International Baccalaureate program. I hold a bachelor's degree in English Education, a master's degree in Rhetoric and Composition, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Rhetoric at the University of Texas at Austin. I also teach first- year composition at UT-Austin.I enjoy working with students on an individual basis as we engage in the labor and joy of writing together. I especially enjoy working with students on college application essays, whether personal essays or applicationstatements, and I am also experienced with on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exams. With seven years of classroom experience and three years of experience working as a grader for the International Baccalaureate program, my unique blend of both teaching and professional writing experience allows me to effectively help students reach their full potential.

I am a PhD student in Educational Policy, with a Master's degree in Quantitative Methods, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I have 3 years of experience tutoring psychology statistics, and 2 years of experience as a Graduate TA for research methods. I am to the core a research nerd, and feel excited about completing my PhD and conducting education research to inform policy. While my work in policy is on a larger scale, there is nothing quite like having an impact on students directly. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in empowering students to take control of their learning experience, and to ultimately gain the confidence in themselves to succeed.

Hey there! My name is Nathaniel, and I graduated from UT Austin in 2016 with degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology. I've had over 8 years of tutoring experience in different areas, primarily in mathematics and the natural sciences. I began tutoring my mom's friend's children in algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry while still in middle school. This is the point at which I realized the reward in helping others learn, inciting my passion for tutoring. I went on to continue assisting classmates in high school, ultimately tutoring around a dozen different students while in college. In fact, I even served as a teaching assistant my junior year, helping grade assignments.In my free time, I like to play sports, lift weights, and volunteer. I ultimately plan on attending medical school, aiming for admission in 2018. I'm open to many different physician specialties, but have found psychiatry, neurosurgery, and orthopedics the most interesting so far. Other fun facts about me are that I've been skydiving 25 times (certified), biked from Austin, Texas to Anchorage Alaska to raise money and awareness for cancer research as part of the UT organization Texas 4000, and worked at a haunted house this past October.My teaching approach is different from others in that I do not wish to instruct students as if they were in a class, but by putting it in terms that would resonate most with them. Thus, I strive to not only further your children's insight in a given subject area, but to also allow them to actually appreciate different subjects and how they relate to the world around them. I look forward to working with your child, and will hopefully hear from you soon!

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in math and reading. With 5 years of tutoring experience and several years of classroom teaching experience, I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple steps. I believe every student can succeed with the right guidance and encouragement.

I began my career in education as a bilingual classroom teacher in the elementary grades. Later, I became a principal of many schools that had dual language programs because I knew the way in which knowing Spanish had enriched my life and I wanted other students to have that same opportunity. As a teacher, I loved teaching math to my students because it was so fun to get them involved in talking and learning about math. As a principal, I continued to work with students and even took a class period one semester to ensure that the students were successful on Texas' STAAR test. I also am able to tutor in language arts and Spanish. I have traveled extensively in Mexico and recently lived in Mexico for a year and a half. In my free time, I like to take my dog to the beach, do yoga, read, garden, or just enjoy time with friends.
