Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at San Antonio

Hi! My name is Divya Kumarasekaran, and I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I specialize in tutoring reading, English, and essay writing for students ranging from elementary school through high school, including those preparing for college applications. Having gone through the admissions process twicefirst for undergraduate programs and then for law schoolI understand how overwhelming and competitive it can feel. I'm passionate about helping students craft strong, authentic essays that showcase who they are beyond grades and test scores. I also believe that building a solid foundation in reading and writing from an early age is key to long-term academic success. The skills students develop in elementary and middle school directly impact their confidence and performance in high school and beyond. My approach is supportive, personalized, and adaptable. I work with each student's unique learning style to help them grow their skills, strengthen their voice, and gain confidence in their abilities. I look forward to working with you and helping you succeed!

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Computer Science from The University of Texas at San Antonio, with over 2 years of experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and confidence. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I strive to empower them through personalized guidance and encouragement.

I received my bachelor's in communications from the University of Maryland Global Campus while traveling the world as a military spouse. Traveling allowed me to experience different cultures and new ways of learning. I am currently working on two master's programs, one a degree in social work with the University of Texas at San Antonio. Where I maintain a 4.0 GPA after one year in program. The other is a master's in public health at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, where I am in my first semester. Since I have experience in both on campus and a distance learning, I have an edge when it comes to the type of learning needed to succeed. My experience with students started as a middle schooler who was asked to tutor a Korean boy in English. Moving on from there, I tutored informally throughout high school and college. I currently work with other graduate students. I tutor in English, communications (including media and journalism), human resources, and English as a second language. When I am not working or working on schoolwork, I enjoy spending time with my three children and grandbaby, as well as my husband. We like to travel, both in Texas, around the country, and to other continents. I look forward to productive partnerships with future students.

I am a registered nurse with 10+ years of experience. I have worked in acute care, urgent care, chronic disease case management, and hospice.

In my free time, I enjoy engaging with educational content and exploring new technologies, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching.

Hello! I'm a retired early childhood educator with three decades of experience! Throughout my career, my enthusiasm for fostering a love of learning has laid a strong educational foundation for hundreds of children. I have consistently dedicated myself to three key areas: maximizing student performance through joyful and innovative methods, inspiring families of young learners to create a print-rich home where learning is integrated into their daily lives, and encouraging daily reading to or with your child. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education from the University of Texas San Antonio & a Masters in Special Education from Texas State University.

Howdy! I'm Adam, and there aren't many things I love more than helping others learn! Growing up, I always tutored my two brothers, which is how I discovered my love for teaching. Even after so much time, I still love working with students to learn new things, especially conventionally difficult topics, like Mathematics and Engineering! As someone who has already been there before, I understand just how difficult it can be to keep up with the demands of STEM. I have personally assisted dozens of students who felt hopeless and left behind by their curriculum. Let me help you, too!

Hi, my name is Zain and I am a senior studying Biology and Physics. I tutor almost every science subject, from chemistry to biology to physics, and enjoy tutoring students from high school to college.

I am an energetic and driven individual with a passion for teaching and helping others. I was born in Mexico and currently reside in Texas where i have been able to teach adults in the financial industry and the Spanish Language. I have an educational background on Adult learning with Technology and i love creating an engaging virtual environment for my learners.

I am Software Engineer. I graduated from UTSA with a Computer Science Bachelor with a concentration in Cyber Security. Some languages and tools I'm prominent in is Java, C, Python, Javascript, React.js, Express.js, SQL, and NodeJs. I have utilized these skills in a variety of different projects including full stack software development, ETL stacks, data base management, data science, and more. I am also Security+ certified and was formerly Network+ certified but a working on regaining that now.

In the classroom teaching economics, or financial literacy, or government, is where I'm meant to be. That classroom may be the actual thing, or here online. It doesn't matter. My goal in life is to help people understand how the market works, the impact of their decisions, the impact of societal actions. I do so via current events and personal experience (corporate career, running for public office, civic activism, etc.), the latter of which includes that of students. Those are how I learned. The biggest reward I get is when I see the proverbial light bulb go off over someone's head. Hopefully you'll be the next one I see.

Hello! My name is Joshua. I previously worked for four years as High school Science teacher with a composite science certification for grades 7-12. During my years teaching, I've worked with students at all levels from special education to Pre-AP and Early college always with the mindset of presenting material in an easy to understand way that is applicable to our lives today. With luck, if I'm chosen to become your tutor, I can help you succeed in your studies as you pursue your own educational path! :)

I am currently an Undergraduate student working towards my Bachelors degree in Finance. I have a couple years of experience in tutoring others.

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.

I received my M.S. in Biomedical Engineering in May 2014. I have over four years of experience tutoring undergraduate Chemistry, Biology & Mathematics. I enjoy tutoring and my students walk away confident with great understanding of the core concepts.

My goal is to help students earn a high grade, to earn college credit and save money. I look forward to the opportunity to share knowledge and experience!

I love teaching and learning. I work very hard to always try to improve everyone and everything around me. By this, I mean that I always offer my knowledge and skills to those with whom I interact and frequently go out of my way to help those who ask. Additionally, I learn through teaching and greatly enjoy helping others increase their skills, understanding, and knowledge of the world.My background is varied. After high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps for 4 years. After training, I worked for 3 years as primarily a hazmat operator and trainer. I was also deployed to Iraq for a year during Operation Iraqi Freedom.After the Marines, I moved to the San Antonio region to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio. There, I studied Psychology (major) and Business (minor) with Honors Coursework. I made it a point to attend supplemental instruction classes and help study/teach other students. I often arranged study groups, note or course work exchanges, and one-on-one work with other students. For my electives and core curriculum, I preferred to take challenging classes such as college algebra, bio 1 and 2, general chemistry 1, and honors lectures on advanced psychology processes and pathology. As a capstone, I structured, proposed, and wrote an undergraduate thesis finding a positive relation between test anxiety and trauma-related psychopathology symptoms. I truly enjoyed learning and working in my undergraduate career.I then attended graduate school at the University of Central Florida studying Clinical Psychology. During my two years here, I studied advanced research methods, psychopathology, and evidenced-based therapy techniques. Here, I made it a point to type up my class notes to email to my cohort to help me and my fellow students learn. I also interned for 1.5 years doing psychological assessment, individual, and group counseling. Within 1 to 2 years, I hope obtain a license as a professional counselor and to continue my studies to a PhD in Counseling Psychology.On a more personal note, I am excited to work at Varsity Tutors. I like to give back to all peoples and to my community. When I think about my life and my struggles, I know that some type of tutor would have been so helpful for me. I know that my education has helped improve both myself as a person and my quality of life, and I am happy for the opportunity to assist others with their learning and education.

I enjoy helping others realize their potential and making the impossible possible. Everyone can reach their goals, and it is my goal to help you reach yours! Math is my favorite subject, and I have even participated in competitions for it. I hope to help others fall in love with math as well.

As your tutor, I will offer targeted lessons based to help you master prehospital emergency care concepts and skills. I will also help by preparing you for your NREMT exam by reviewing protocols, practicing scenario-based interventions, and reinforcing decision-making under pressure, ensuring you are confident and competent in both academic knowledge and practical application.

With nearly 25 years of experience in education, I bring both heart and strategy to every tutoring session. My passion lies in helping students grow academically, emotionally, and confidently through personalized instruction that meets them where they are and guides them toward success. I've taught elementary school for 9 years and middle and high school for over 16 years, supporting students through remediation and tutorials at all three levels. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, I tailor each lesson to the student's learning style, academic level, and personal goals. I've led intervention programs in reading and math across all grade levels, using data-driven strategies to close skill gaps and accelerate progress. My students know they're supported, challenged, and believed in. Math is my favorite subject to tutor, especially Algebra and Geometry, but I also work extensively with elementary/middle school math, Spanish, Science, and English Language Arts. As a native Spanish speaker with advanced college coursework in Spanish literature and composition, I offer bilingual instruction and culturally responsive support. I've also guided students through test prep with strong results, helping them build confidence and improve performance. I hold a bachelor's degree in Education and a master's in Educational Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I completed doctoral coursework in Educational Administration at Walden University and am currently pursuing a Medical Doctor degree in the Dominican Republic, where all coursework is in Spanish, reflecting my commitment to lifelong learning and academic excellence. At Varsity Tutors, I've worked with students from elementary through high school in both individual and small-group formats across all subjects. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts, building foundational skills, and fostering a growth mindset. My goal is always the same: to help students feel capable, supported, and ready to succeed. I look forward to helping your child/student thrive.

I have been teaching Basic Writing and English classes for several years, along with Literature courses. My experience with tutoring comes from when I was a graduate student. I worked as a tutor for the Athletic department. As a tutor, I would work with those students that had missed class the day of the lessons they needed. I reviewed papers and assessed learning. As an instructor, I learned this to be valuable in the classroom. I often held workshops that would require students to exchange their papers with one another. This would help them learn how to catch the mistakes in their own papers as they often did not see it in their own work. I will walk through the writing process with each student, until they are satisfied with the end paper. As writers we know that the hardest part of Writing is starting. I will help you through this process. I love to write, I love to teach others, and I love people!

As a passionate educator with a master's in applied anthropology from the University of Texas at San Antonio, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages students to thrive. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I specialize in AP English Language and Literature, as well as creative writing and essay editing. My approach is student-centered, focusing on individual learning styles and fostering critical thinking through engaging discussions and personalized feedback. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am committed to helping them unlock their abilities.

I graduated from UTRGV with a bachelors in Education Spanish subject. Current planning to work on my masters. I have 5 year of teaching experience virtual and in person. As a bilingual certify I like to teach dual language students where we can connect with the language and culture. I have a charismatic personality with positive learning environment. The following quote is one of my favorites. "What you have to give, with no expectation of return" This explains my passion to help and teach young people. I like to be active my hobbies are dancing and playing soccer with friends. I am also a soccer coach.

Hi! My name is Anthony Nwankwo. I'm a twenty five year old Computer Science student living in Houston, TX. I live a pretty active life, with most of my hobbies being centered around sports. However, when I'm not on the court or the field, I'm usually behind a computer screen. Having two younger siblings, I've been tutoring in some capacity for my entire life. Also, I was a supplemental instructor for a calculus 1 class earlier in college. While that was my only real tutoring "job" prior to being hired by Varsity, I'm confident that my unofficial experience is enough to prepare me for any challenges your student and I face together.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at San Antonio. I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Computer Architecture. I also received my Jurisprudence Doctoral (J.D.) from St. Mary's University School of law. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life and playing soccer.

I believe in creating the best for ourselves. The world is a difficult place that we underestimate when we are young. At every corner we shall be tested. With a positive attitude, discipline and hard work we can overcome those obstacles. But we should find ways to enjoy ourselves in the process. It's my job to create a comfortable environment where a student can feel at ease and willing to take risks, to experiment, to fail and then get back up. People best learn by falling down. I encourage mistakes and risks. If it's an essay, write whatever you feel. I'm here to tutor, so we can just go back and edit work until it's right. If we never give our students a sense of success and ownership over their work it will hard for them to feel invested in it. I want every student walking away from a sessions saying "I earned that."

I am an experienced teacher, lover of languages, and taco enthusiast. Born and raised in Texas, I recognized the value of bilingualism from a young age, as well as my interest in teaching. Teaching high school Spanish to a mix of second language learners, heritage learners, and native speakers has allowed me to simultaneously experience two of the most beautiful moments in the world. The first is the "light bulb" moment, when a student grasps a difficult concept, and the second is what I like to call the "Hablas espaol?" moment, when an instant connection is formed with someone who immediately feels comfortable in the knowledge that you understand their mother tongue. I have been working in the field of education as either a tutor or a teacher since 2013. I have tutored and/or taught Spanish, English as a Second Language, and English writing skills. I graduated from Texas State University in 2016 with bachelor's degrees in Spanish and English, and from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2019 with my master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). During the 2016-17 school year, I had the opportunity to teach English in Spain on a Fulbright grant, which exponentially expanded my view of what it means to be a Spanish speaker in terms of linguistic variety and taught me the value of stepping outside of my comfort zone to learn more about other cultures. I also take advantage of every available opportunity to increase my knowledge of linguistics, language teaching and pedagogy, and Spanish as a heritage language. To this end, I served as the vice president of the Texas Language Education Research conference (TEXLER) in 2019, and participated in the 2020 NHLRC heritage language teacher workshop.

As a tutor the ultimate goal is making learning fun and easy to understand. Subjects like science and math can be explained in ways that everyone can understand so my goal is to gain knowledge on how to effectively tutor each student the way THEY learn best.

Hi, I'm Kat,I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas in San Antonio who now lives in New York City. I love my two cats Pher Pher and Hobbes. I love to cook, run, and sing! I'd also love to help you ace your classes. I understand how challenging certain subjects can be as someone who had to overcome a learning disability myself. I want to help you clear your own hurdles. I like to have fun in the class and be creative with learning while still pushing you to achieve your goals.

I am currently working as a high school math teacher, where I am teaching Algebra 1. I have earned my Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics from UTSA, and I am certified to teach 7-12th grade math.

Hi! I'm Alisha, and I love helping students grow their skills in English, reading, writing, and AP courses. I'm happy to teach anything related to these subjects, from essays and rhetorical analysis to reading comprehension and creative writing. I tailor lessons to each student's needs so learning is clear, engaging, and effective. I have lots of experience tutoring on different platforms like Preply and Superprof, and have tutored students locally around high schools and neighborhoods. I want to be a tutor with Varsity Tutors because I'm passionate about making learning less intimidating and more empowering for students. I've seen how personalized support can improve both understanding and confidence, and I aim to create a positive space where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing at their own pace. My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them become more independent and confident learners.

I am a 2024 college graduate with a bachelor's degree. My focuses are Business, Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics. I am enthusiastic, friendly and have a strong interest in Math and English, as well as a seasoned background in these subjects. I love helping and pushing my students to achieve their goals and expand their knowledge in all aspects of life. I have experience working with many different students in different grade levels. I tutor in all elementary and middle school subjects; as well as some high school and college areas. My tutoring style varies for each student, as everyone has a different way that they learn. My goal is to accommodate my students as best as possible to achieve maximum retention of the material we are covering. Outside of tutoring I enjoy reading, family time, spending time with my cat and traveling.

I am a 2024 graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio, with a BS in physics and minors in math and computer science. I am currently a 2nd year physics PhD student at Penn State. My passion for tutoring started in high school, where l tutored AP Physics 1, 2, and C, as well as AP Calculus AB and BC. I was also a tutor at Mathnasium, where I tutored algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. I have worked with students from middle school all the way to advanced college levels. Seeing others experience that 'aha' moment when they understand a complex concept brings me such joy, and it's the reason I'm so passionate about tutoring and mentoring. My philosophy is that there is no such thing as a basic or silly question: I know what it feels like to look at a problem and not even know where to start. Education is about learning new things, and if I am able to help someone learn something new, I've achieved my goal as a tutor.

I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Since then, I have worked as an iPhone App Developer independently as a contractor hired to lead application development as well as a team member on corporate mobile software projects. I have also worked as a Security Consultant with an emphasis on mobile and web application penetration testing. My passion is software, which has led me to becoming skilled at platform-independent programming. During college, I worked as both a Research Assistant as well as a lab instructor and tutor of freshman-level Java programming but I frequently helped students of other programming languages such as C/C++. I greatly enjoyed helping others during that time, and am excited that the opportunity to tutor has arrived once more. In addition to Computer Science and general computer topics, I am able to help students with English, in particular writing. Outside of programming and writing, I enjoy riding bikes, martial arts, Japanese, and cooking. I think a lot of things are easier than we make them out to be, and I hope to impart ways to encourage and improve students' mastery of their chosen topics. Education is very important to me, as when it is done well it is a lifelong journey.
