Award-Winning Tutors serving Lost Creek, TX

...but I also enjoy doing test prep -- tests can be a fun challenge for the student, and I love helping students to see it that way! I believe that any subject can be fun if you look at it in the right way. I am an English geek, in love with all aspects of language, and I've been told that my enthusiasm is infectious. My second love is the theatre, and I am active...

...individuals wanting to go from a B+ to an A to students having difficulty passing a tough class, and I strive to match my style and depth of instruction with the knowledge level of the student. I strongly believe everybody has the potential to succeed, and a recurring theme of my tutoring is that my students should recognize their own potential by 1) identifying their current position, 2) identifying their desired position, and 3) setting...

...computer science. I have experience tutoring my peers as part of the requirement for National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta (math honor society). I enjoy tutoring ACT and SAT test prep, calculus, physics, and computer science because I have previous experience tutoring these subjects. I want to make sure that students I'm tutoring have a strong foundation in the subjects they are learning because a thorough understanding requires knowledge of the basics. Outside of...

...(math, science, history, etc.) tutor at Health Careers High School in San Antonio while I was a junior and senior as part of National Honor Society. My strong academic subject areas are math, particularly calculus, trigonometry, and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out...

...in Mechanical Engineering, I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I...

...with every student, that's where a tutor comes in! I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a failure. Working with my own tutors and teachers helped me realize that I am capable of overcoming...

...I went through the entire pre-med process, but decided to pursue a career in ethnopharmacology instead. During my free time, you will find me either writing songs on my guitar, swimming, surfing, cooking, or spending time with my friends and family. My approach to teaching is to first understand how the student learns so that I can help them develop effective study and homework strategies. Every person learns a little differently, and I believe that...

...skill retention. In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to reply promptly to any questions they may have about the subjects we cover. But communication is also a two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand...

...Biology and a part of the Health Science Scholars Honors program at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience tutoring high school and middle school students for the past couple of years in a variety of subjects and my favorite ones include sciences such as biology and chemistry, as well as ACT/SAT/PSAT test prep. I firmly believe in the value of good education and hope to inspire that same positivity in others.

...them. I learned early on that you know the material well if you can fully explain a subject to a person and have them understand the topic as a result. Helping my peers became a way for me to solidify my understanding of topics. I have found that I enjoy explaining things to others as much as I love learning about the material in the first place. I also discovered that the best way to...

...developed a passion for working with students both in and out of the classroom. I strongly believe in inquiry-based instruction, which consists of leading students to develop solutions on their own while analyzing their thought process. This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them. I have found that this method is much more effective than traditional styles because when the student verbalizes their thought process...

...A&M University where I am pursuing my BA in History with a minor in Secondary Education. I am most passionate about history and reading although I have worked extensively in tutoring math at the elementary and middle school level. As a recent graduate of high school I am experienced in SAT prep particularly in boosting testing speed and utilizing testing strategies. I believe in highly individualized programs based on student needs since everyone learns differently.

...and Sciences. While at Washington University, I majored in an interdisciplinary program for philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school. I served as a residential advisor for two years and have experience tutoring and counseling students in that capacity. I believe taking the time to listen to and understand others is the best way to find out how to help them. I've always appreciated this in my teachers and...

...this, oftentimes I saw myself tutoring my classmates and helping them with their assignments. That is when I realized the only thing I loved more than learning was teaching. I absolutely love helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their eyes light up as they succeed.

My tutoring style focuses on identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses and explaining problems that cater to student's learning style. I strive to create a fun, encouraging and collaborative environment so that students feel comfortable tackling material, asking questions, and identifying goals...

...off of entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships with my students. I am currently accepting students in all math subjects through the high school level, standardized...

...summer heat- or at any time- for that matter, simply isn’t my forté. When my mom picked up on this fact I was promptly placed into dance class, which I liked because it was indoors. My approval of air conditioned dance practice eventually evolved into a real passion and appreciation for the art form. Dancing (and now, cheerleading!) provides the platform to develop the strong, committed, and confident personality that defines me today. A little...

...spend some time with students, helping them get the test scores that will allow them to get into their dream school. Throughout my high school and college career I gained extensive experience in tutoring members of my rugby team, fellow classmates and friends. Regarding the subjects I have taught- I am familiar with math all the way up to Algebra 2 (including ACT and SAT Math), I have helped many students prepare for the SAT...

...I earned a B.S. in Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin. While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which renewed my interest both in teaching and in working with individuals with special needs. I am...

...learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned. I like working with students that are self motivated and want to have a tutor, no matter their current skill level in a class. Having a great teacher or tutor won't help if the student does not want to learn and put in the...
