Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Dallas

I love empowering students to see their own limitless potential, and to help them build a working knowledge of a subject beyond rote memorization. I have tutored students all throughout high school and college, mostly in subjects related to math or physics. I received two undergraduate degrees in math and physics from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and am halfway through my master's degree in mathematics, also from UTD. I tutor almost any subject from high school and college math and physics, and also select courses in reading, writing, and English. I also may provide help in preparing for standardized testing. My favorite subjects to teach are undoubtedly math and physics, as I love building a beautiful framework from the ground up with a student, and watching all the pieces fall into place as their understanding solidifies. This is reflected in my teaching philosophy, in which I will try to find some base of knowledge a student already understands well, and build up from there to the desired result: I feel this gives the student a deeper understanding of a subject, so they may easily generalize their knowledge to future endeavors. Outside of academia, I love playing all types of games and a few musical instruments, as well as hanging out with my friends and family.

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 believe that a tutor's duty is to identify and cater to the individual needs and learning styles of their students. It is my goal to help my students understand new and challenging concepts in such a way that the information can be recalled years later. I most enjoy tutoring biology because it is a subject that deeply interests me and calls upon an understanding of many other subjects. I am currently a third year undergraduate at UT Dallas pursuing a degree in biology. I spend my free time working out, volunteering, and being with my friends.

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and am a current graduate student in Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in Compressible and incompressible aerodynamic phenomena. I did very well in my Thermal/Fluid and Dynamics/Vibrations courses and as a result am able to tutor a lot of the associated benchmark courses. I truly enjoy helping my fellow student and find it rewarding to see progress being made over the time, since starting the supplementary instruction. Always looking to help wherever and whenever I can.-Malik Pierson

I have over 4 years of experience teaching students from ages 7-55, in a variety of subjects ranging from algebra, to chemistry, to physics. I try to tailor my teaching style to best suit the personality of each individual student, and I look forward to doing the same for you!

I am a current Ph.D student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my bachelors of science in Mathematics with honors from Union College. While in undergrad, I spent all four years working as a course assistant, aiding professors with grading and coursework. I also volunteered with Girls Inc all four years, tutoring students in grades 1-5 in a range of topics, but mostly math. During the summers, I worked with the academic outreach program, as an RA and a tutor for students going into their first year at Union College. Now as a Ph.D student, I have spent two years as a TA for undergraduate students, mostly working in calculus based courses. I find tutoring an incredibly rewarding process; fostering a students growth, working closely with a few students, and really breaking through educational barriers that are difficult to tackle in a large classroom setting.

I am passionate about applying my background in literature, technology, and game design to education.I tutor students in SAT/ACT test prep, computer science, computer game design, English literature & composition, mathematics, and English language acquisition (ESL).I excel at teaching students to bridge the gap between abstract, conceptual ideas and concrete practice.

I am a graduate Student at UT Dallas. I have a variety of interests. I enjoy reading books, sailing, playing both board games and video games. I also play rugby. I first realized my interest in teaching and helping others when I was thirteen in the Boy Scouts where I was the only member of the troop to return for multiple terms as a troop guide. I try to mold my teaching style to the learning style of the student. In general, I encourage students to come to the solutions on their own with nudges from me when they get stuck.

I graduated with my bachelor's degree at the University of Washington. I completed my master's degree at the University of Texas at Dallas. I have a fascination for history, politics, and language.

I am an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Dallas pursuing a double major in Finance and Economics with a focus in medicine. My tutoring experience includes working with my nieces, nephews, cousins, and peers ranging from elementary to high school. I mainly tutor subjects involving math or science since those are my strengths. I also tutor a few business related courses that I have taken.My mission as a tutor is to motivate scholars, inspire enthusiasm for learning, and help build problem solving skills that students can apply when needed. I will accomplish this through patience, compassion, and real world applications that will allow students to grasp concepts/knowledge with ease.My interests and hobbies include hip-hop, basketball, weightlifting, gaming, and producing music. I hope to provide valuable insight and knowledge and be the best tutor for you.

I am currently an undergraduate student at University of Texas at Dallas, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and minor in Marketing. I have worked with students and tutored them in STEM subjects such as mathematics and science, and I have also helped students with history projects and essays. My favorite subject to tutor is science because I am able to use simple real-world examples to explain more complex topics, which allows for me to create a more engaging experience for the students and connect with them as well. I believe that there is no greater power than knowledge and your ability to apply yourself using vast information that is learnt either from school or experiences. Moreover, I believe that students who choose to seek help through tutoring embark upon a path to become the best version of themselves, starting with academic success. In my spare time, I like to read, draw/paint, and watch movies. In essence, I would love the opportunity to make someone interested in learning as much as I love learning about new information and ideas.

I'm a graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas with double Bachelors Degrees in Computer Science and Cognitive Science.

In my free time, I enjoy playing classical guitar, singing in my local choir, and traveling.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas, where I am simultaneously pursuing a B.S. in Psychology and a B.S. in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. I have taught adult ESL classes for nearly two years as part of a volunteer program at my school, which has given me a strong background in education and organizational skills. I am a fluent speaker of English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I am in the process of learning Mandarin Chinese. Being an avid reader and learner of languages, my most passionate tutoring subjects are SAT Critical Reading, SAT Writing, Spanish, and general writing/grammar skills. My approach to tutoring emphasizes improving studying and test-taking skills, as well as guiding students to their own, genuine understandings of the material at hand through thought-provoking questions and engagement in critical thinking, as opposed to rote learning techniques. In my free time, I enjoy reading, biking, listening to music, and cooking.

I am a senior at The University of Texas at Dallas. I will complete my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering concluding the Fall 2020 semester, and I currently have a 3.84 GPA. I will continue my education and pursue my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering afterward. I can tutor a wide range of math subjects including algebra, trigonometry, calculus 1, 2, and 3. I can also assist students in the math portion of standardized tests such as the SAT. As your tutor, my goal is for you to develop a different understanding of the topics you may or may not know to effectively approach problems.

I am a student of both the Humanities and Natural Sciences. My B.A. is in Historical Studies and my focus was in the history of science, and medicine. As an undergraduate I received grant funding for my ongoing project, 'Historical Perspectives on Alternative Health.' I am pursuing a MA in History while finishing up prerequisites for a graduate degree related to pathology. In addition to historical studies related to science and medicine I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention.If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology.The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for an introduction course to pathophysiology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Through volunteer service with places such as the Richardson Boy's and Girl's club I have had exposure to homework assistance for many different age ranges. Depending on the subject there are several approaches to teaching, or tutoring, that I think are appropriate. Since each student is different it is important to find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions.I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually in the form of books, movies, television shows, comic books, story telling, music, and video games. I have recently added radio dramas to this list of narratives I enjoy. Each medium for telling and experiencing stories offer its own unique way for the 'listener' to interact with the story either passively or quite actively in the case of comics and video/computer games.

Hello, this is Amin and I teach general chemistry and AP chemistry alongside organic chemistry. I'm looking forward to work with you on these amazing topics.

All it takes is a nicely worded analogy to any video game and boom! You now understand Organic Chemistry. You may think it's not that simple, but understanding complex topics doesn't require a PhD. Being able to put the knowledge in your own terms and make any material sound familiar makes mastery just around the door. Teaching the material well is important to me, but what's more important is getting to know who is learning the material and adjusting it to their liking.Besides my values, I am a pre-Medical, Data Science major at UT Dallas. I enjoy tutoring Organic chemistry, Calculus.When it comes to tutoring and learning, I prioritize giving meaningful practice problems that target specific concepts without distractions. If you want to feel ready for any test question, you've come to the right person.

I thoroughly enjoy tutoring, predominantly because I love to learn and understand the frustrations about struggling with a multitude of subjects. It can often feel overwhelming but I have confidence that students can succeed academically with patient and dedicated guidance.At the moment, I am working towards becoming a certified teacher. During high school at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, I maintained a 4.0 GPA, was on the Dean's List every semester, and earned recognition as a National Merit finalist. During undergraduate college at the University of Texas at Dallas, I maintained all A's, graduated as a Magna Cum Laude honors student, was on the President's List multiple semesters, and received the Academic Excellence Scholarship due to my National Merit finalist standing. During high school and undergraduate college, I studied diligently in order to learn and succeed academically, and I hope to be able to provide others with the same opportunity.Regarding my tutoring experience, I started tutoring as a high school student. During high school, I was committee head for a local middle school volunteering program. Every week, I would help teach children in a variety of subjects that ranged in mathematics, sciences, and even reading. In addition, I was part of a group of private tutors in the subjects of biology, chemistry, and pre-calculus for high school students attending my school. While in undergraduate college, I was not part of an official tutoring organization but I did choose to volunteer to help my colleagues in biochemistry-based courses such as biochemistry and organic chemistry in addition to neuroscience-related courses. I could understand the difficulties that students had with challenging classes and tried to work with them in order for them to better understand and enjoy the material. In addition, I have worked with a tutoring company to tutor students from elementary school to college in the subjects of elementary reading, elementary writing, elementary mathematics, algebra 1, algebra 2, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and ACT/SAT preparation.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am 3 years into my Bachelor of Science in Physics, and i transferred this year to finish my degree at UTD. Until I transferred I was working on two degrees : one in Physics and one in Mathematics, but due to the curriculum difference I decided to drop my mathematics major. Throughout my three years in college as well as my senior year in high school, I've had experience tutoring students in various subjects such as trigonometry-based physics, calculus-based physics, as well as AP calculus. Calculus-based Physics is my passion when it comes to tutoring, since I've developed quite a bit of experience with it so I have been able to practice different ways with working with students on this subject. I base my tutoring methods on the idea that the student's ability to derive,understand ,explain a concept is the ultimate goal. It is really exciting to see a student understand the material and be able to demonstrate their new-found knowledge confidently . Besides my studies in Physics, I enjoy playing videos games, creating electronic music, programming, reading , and listening to my vast music library.

My name is Neil, and I have a passion for helping others understand and learn. I have tutored for two years now and have had the privilege of watching students excel at concepts that were once difficult and hard to grasp. I try my best to tailor every session to my students' needs because I have found that directly addressing problems and personally working on building confidence in a subject are key for developing stronger learners. Aside from mastering their own subjects, I want to help students feel comfortable dealing with new material, and approach every problem with a positive mindset!

I've had experience tutoring at Kumon Learning Center where I had to engage and encourage multiple students - whose ages ranged from 3 to 15 - at a time. I spent two years tutoring SAT Verbal, Writing and Reading Comp strategies at Karen Dillard's College Prep. I also privately tutored my peers in Spanish while I was an undergraduate at the University of Dallas. One-on-one tutoring provides students with an opportunity to receive the extra instruction and attention that they don't always receive in a classroom setting. There is nothing more frustrating than struggling to understand new concepts and new materials that everyone in your class already understands. As a former Spanish major in a classroom full of native Spanish-speakers, I absolutely can relate to this feeling.As a tutor I make my sessions something the student looks forward to and doesn't dread. I am charismatic and approachable, and I make sure that the student feels comfortable asking questions or for further clarification, and that he or she feels comfortable making mistakes. I am an avid believer in positive reinforcement. Maintaining the student's attention and enthusiasm is a priority for making my tutoring sessions effective and fruitful.

I am a tutor available to teach a wide range of subjects, ranging from test prep to math and history.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience in 2019. I'm currently working on my Masters in Neuroscience and Applied Cognition. Since graduation, I have been tutoring pre-med subjects including Chemistry, Biology, and Neuroscience. I particularly enjoy tutoring these subjects since I am passionate about understanding the mind, brain, body, and their relationship to each other on all scales. At UTD, I gained experience being a Teaching Assistant for neuroanatomy and working as a General Chemistry supplemental instruction (SI) leader for the student success center at the university. There, I held multiple sessions a week, reviewing concepts, and helping a group of students work together to solve challenging problems. I love helping students gain a passion for learning. My approach is to help my students gain a strong understanding of the fundamentals which will allow them to understand complex concepts. I like to help students gain confidence in the subjects we are working on which they can carry on to the rest of their academic careers.

I have earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas. Since Mechanical Engineering involves a lot of math, a topic that I'm talented in, I believe that it is the perfect subject for me to tutor as I have helped my fellow classmates, ranging from elementary to college level, with understanding certain math basics and ideas. My tutoring style is that "I'll make sure that my students understand the concept as well as learn at least one new thing that'll help them in the near future."

Hi Everyone! My name is Linda Deaver, and I hold a B.A. in Literature and Historical Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. My M.A. and Ph.D., which are also from the University of Texas at Dallas, are both in the Humanities with a concentration in the moral philosophy, literature, and feminist theory. I consider myself a non-traditional student and a life-long learner. What can I say--I love to learn! As a legal assistant, I originally started school with plans to take business classes to prepare for law school. However, it did not take long to realize that when it came time to make that fateful decision: law or literature, my heart belonged to literature. and art, and history, and philosophy. The study of literature and philosophy, especially, opened up another world for me, a world of new ideas and unlimited possibilities. I hope to share the excitement of that world with my students.

I am an educator with over two decades of classroom experience. While my main objective is to expose students to new materials and ways to process the information so it will be retained, my style is to present that material in a fun, engaging way. Looking to learn while having a good time? I'm the tutor for you!

As someone who has been in engineering school for four years now, I have gained extensive knowledge in scientific and mathematical fields as well as a dependency on copious amounts of coffee.During this time I learned something extremely important: We may all learn differently but we usually all make similar mistakes when it comes to learning.At one time I myself greatly struggled with learning topics related to my field. I learned how to overcome my weaknesses and study smarter, not harder.My aim is to pass off the skills I have acquired in college that way others can avoid repeating the mistakes of countless others and have a successful college experience. Success breeds success and a strong start is extremely important to maintain a positive experience and outlook.
