I believe in a flexible methodology. I believe not everyone learns in the same fashion or at the same rate. This does not mean a student is more or less intelligent than the next or the teacher is always right. There are fundamental methods and approaches that a student must learn when obtaining an education.The difference between a good teacher and a great one is adapting those methods and approaches to each individual. This cannot always be done in a classroom setting, and that is why we have tutors. I may not be the right tutor for everyone, but I'll do my best with everyone and hopefully change a few lives. In the end, this is not just about teaching them a specific subject, it's helping them evolve how they think in order to allow them to attack any subject now and in the future by teaching them how to break things down and approach it in an effective way.

I am a recent graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas with a B.S. in Neuroscience cum laude. I am living in Austin until I begin medical school in July. Tutoring has always been a hobby of mine, and I continued my passion for teaching during college by being the Peer Tutor for a Statistics course and a Biology course at Trinity. Additionally, I tutored middle and high school students in the San Antonio community while working for a company similar to Varsity Tutoring. My favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the light-bulb moment happen for my students when they finally grasp a concept they???ve been struggling with. Usually with my students and as a student myself, I find that explaining concepts in a different way with language that is more understandable or connecting it to real-world experiences goes a long way. As a competitive swimmer for the past 15 years and the captain of my college team, I understand the desire students have for excelling in both the classroom and in their extracurricular activities and the struggle that can occur between balancing them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family and my dog, and cooking!

I have over ten years of experience in higher education student support, to include several years of teaching and tutoring. I love to support students and provide "tricks of the trade" to help them crack the toughest test questions.I believe every student has the potential to learn and that the teaching/learning relationship requires 100% effort from the teacher and student. Because each student learns differently, it's important for educators to quickly learn their students' learning styles so they can adapt the material and the approach to best meet the students' needs.I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is helping a student to independently solve problems. I will work with students relentlessly to help them be successful.

College level coursework can be completely different from that of high school and I am excited to help others make that jump, especially in STEM disciplines. Even if you don't consider yourself to be a math and science person, I believe you can make great progress with the right attitude.I study Engineering Science at Trinity University. I tutor in group sessions for classes like Statics and Dynamics. I've made a list of meaningful study habits and learning strategies that I would like to share.I also graduated high school with an IB Diploma. I am very comfortable with IB Literature (HL), Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge.

I'm not shy, but if you are it's ok I once was too. I'm a student of the mind and so all of my teachings will be tailored toward each individual or group traits that day. It's ok to fail, but don't allow yourself to quit. Learning is hard sometimes because everyone's brain understands things in a different way. But those differences, when explored, can make learning fun and make complex topics easier to understand. I'm not the old guy who loves hearing his own voice and likes to stand; so I don't lecture. I like to keep teaching/learning process fun, interactive, and creative because no one likes to be bored and confused. So involvement is key!

Currently I am a MA/MS student at Brandeis University's Heller School of Social Policy. I graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX with a double major in International Studies and Spanish and a double minor in Geology and History. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia from January 2012-2014 as a grade 5-9 English teacher in an underprivileged school. After school, I led twice weekly test prep sessions for 9th grade. These prep classes covered topics in English, Civics, Geometry, Algebra 1 and Geography. In addition to teaching and conducting test prep, I also individually tutored elementary students in reading and phonics, and led weekly adult literacy classes.I am a great tutor because I genuinely care about my students. Also, I have the patience, ingenuity and compassion to help the student improve in the subject they are struggling with. For example, the year prior to my arrival at the school, only 5% of the 9th grade passed on to 10th grade. However, the following year, thanks to our prep classes and the students dedication, 85% of the students passed. This dramatic improvement proves my ability to help students achieve in the classroom.

I am a student at Trinity University currently studying biochemistry. I have experience as a tutor my senior year at Clear Lake High School, when I worked as an instructor at Mathnasium. I also volunteered in a program helping students with SAT prep and college applications. My favorite subject to tutor is math, because the clear cut answers of mathematics make it easy for a student to see their progress and build their confidence, which for me is the best part of tutoring! My teaching style is very flexible, as everyone has different needs, but I usually use a lot of socratic questioning. Outside of academics, my interests include singing, soccer, and most recently, rock climbing!

My name is Ms. Holmes, and I am deeply passionate about teaching & helping students reach their full academic potential. I strive to create engaging, creative learning experiences because I understand that every student learns differently. I lead with compassion and empathy, while also upholding high expectations and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. I bring a positive, energetic presence to every session, energy that others often describe as contagious. Of this I am proud!

Throughout my high school and college years, I loved math and Spanish. I pursued (and received) a minor in mathematics and a second major in Spanish simply because I wanted to continue my studies in both subject areas. I have tutored in the past (both Spanish and math) and enjoy the opportunity to work with students on a one-to-one level. I believe that individual attention can assist the student greatly in learning. After 15 years of working in a corporate environment, I am now a high school math teacher (Geometry) at Incarnate Word Academy.I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 dogs, teaching Sunday school at our church, and reading.I look forward to working with you!

Hi, my name is Allison, and I am a fifth year Ph. D. candidate in the chemistry department at the University of Florida. I have worked with high school and college level chemistry students, and I am willing to meet you where you are at in chemistry. If you are willing to work to learn it, I will match that effort to help you learn it. When I work with students I prefer to work in smaller groups, so that I can better address your specific concerns and areas where you want help. After having been a TA for three years and tutoring for five, I have learned that there are many ways to present a concept, and some ways of explaining things make more sense than others to some people. I am flexible with how I present information and will work to do it in a way that maximizes your ability to understand the material. I have also gained a series of tips and tricks that help to keep easily confused information straight. As a tutor I want it to be enjoyable, but I want you to learn also, so I typically have a focused but relaxed tutoring environment.

As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Trinity University, I have over 4 years of tutoring experience in subjects including AP Biology, college writing, and study skills. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive learning environment where students can confidently engage with complex material. I tailor my methods to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring that each student feels valued and motivated. I am currently teaching and strive to connect academic concepts to real-world applications, making learning both engaging and relevant. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring local eateries and crocheting in my free time. My passion for education drives me to inspire students to reach their full potential.

Prior to teaching, I earned my BA in English and Communications from Trinity University, in San Antonio. I tutor students in Reading and Writing, and believe that learning can and should be fun. I approach each session with an open mind, a sense of humor, and the belief that everyone can learn. My truest passion is for literature and writing. I love working one-on-one with people who either need extra help, or who want to go above and beyond academically. People learn in a variety of different ways, so I try to get to know those I work with, in order to ensure that they are learning in a style that makes sense to them, and that they feel confident in.
