I'm starting my junior year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in biology with a concentration in health and human disease, global health, and a minor in French. I love reading, traveling, learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, science, and English and I love tutoring in each subject equally. Eventually, I see myself going to medical school and researching topics related to viral diseases which I've been interested in since a very young age. I'm very passionate about the subjects I teach and hope to pass my passion on to the individuals I tutor!

BA Brown University

I am graduate of Brown University, where I received a degree in Economics and studied topics ranging from Computer Science and Applied Math to Literary Arts and Philosophy. I even helped create a class during my senior year, working together with other students to write a syllabus, gather reading materials, schedule guest speakers, and ultimately, present the results to an academic dean for course credit. After graduation, I moved to Hong Kong, where I worked at a a summer program at the University of Hong Kong, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, as a Teaching Assistant in a Game Theory class for advanced middle school students. After the program ended, I traveled around Asia, visiting places in Malaysia and Vietnam before eventually returning to the American South, where, as a native North Carolinian, I feel at home. I usually prefer tutoring in subjects involving math and social sciences but I am very flexible. Outside of education, I love playing guitar and piano, and I have released music both as a solo artist and as part of a band. I also like to play disc golf and lacrosse and enjoy participating in fantasy football.

I am a dynamic, recent Harvard PhD graduate seeking to enrich the lives of others through increasing knowledge, growth, and confidence. I currently reside in Austin, TX, but I am originally from New York City. I attended a private New England boarding school called the Hotchkiss school for high school. I received my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later on, I tutored high school students in Pre-Calculus, Spanish, English, and essay writing. More recently, I have been tutoring young entrepreneurs in Portuguese. Currently, I tutor all levels of Spanish, English grammar and writing, and Reading. I love to travel and meet new people and share wonderful new experiences. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and was fortunate enough to have been able to live in both countries. My teaching style is to ensure that students gain confidence in their own ability to learn. Each student is unique and should be evaluated and assisted on that basis. When I am not tutoring I love to cook, visit local parks and lakes, attend outdoor music concerts, and read. I look forward to working with new students and helping to enrich their educational experience.

I am looking forward to join graduate program at UT Austin to obtain PhD in chemistry. I am currently working as a Teaching Assistant and Tutor at SHSU for various chemistry courses.

I have been tutoring these courses to the school and college level students for about five years in one-onone and small group settings. I enjoy tutoring GRE quantitative as well. My tutoring strategy is to show a path to the students so that they can think through the problems and solve them by building confidence in themselves. I believe that the role of tutor is to guide, to motivate, to develop curiosity and to help students to understand concepts with a goal of watching them succeed. 'In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn' has been my all-time favorite quote.

BS The University of Texas at Austin

I am currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin and graduated from high school in 2022 earning a 4.0 GPA along with a 1530 SAT (800 Math, 730 Reading) and a 34 ACT (30 Math, 34 Science, 35 English, 35 Reading). Achieving these results taught me that strong outcomes come from effective habits, not shortcuts, and I spent years refining study techniques such as active recall and spaced repetition that helped me learn more efficiently and with less stress. These strategies continue to support me in my college coursework and shape how I approach teaching. I began tutoring during high school and quickly discovered how meaningful it was to help other students gain confidence in subjects they once found intimidating. I have experience working one-on-one with middle school and high school students in both volunteer and informal tutoring settings, focusing on math, English, and standardized test preparation. My tutoring style centers on patience and clarity, breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps and reinforcing understanding through practice. I place a strong emphasis on helping students understand how to study effectively, rather than relying on memorization alone. I am comfortable tutoring math and English at all levels, as well as SAT Math and Reading and ACT Math and Reading. Having recently navigated rigorous coursework and competitive testing myself, I understand the pressures students face and strive to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades or scores, but also to equip them with study skills and confidence that will benefit them well beyond our tutoring sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin's 24 school districts serve over 159,000 students with varying curricula and academic standards. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand the specific requirements of Austin-area schools—whether students attend AISD, Eanes, Pflugerville, or other local districts. This localized expertise helps ensure tutoring aligns with each student's actual coursework and district expectations.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1 across Austin schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap, allowing tutors to focus entirely on a student's learning style, pace, and specific knowledge gaps—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

Austin students typically seek help with math (algebra through calculus), science (biology, chemistry, physics), and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams). English/language arts support is also common, particularly for writing and reading comprehension. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all these areas, plus specialized support for subjects like foreign languages, STEM courses, and test-specific strategies.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's specific needs, current performance level, and learning goals. Whether they're struggling with a particular Texas standard, preparing for AP exams, or working to improve grades, the tutor will assess where they are and create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds toward measurable progress.

Austin students take a range of standardized tests—from state assessments to the SAT (national average around 1050) and ACT (national average around 21). Tutors work with students on test-specific strategies, content review, practice testing, and time management. Personalized prep focuses on each student's actual weak areas rather than generic test prep, leading to more significant score improvements.

Yes—summer is an ideal time for focused tutoring without the pressure of ongoing schoolwork. Many Austin students use summer sessions to get ahead in challenging subjects, prepare for fall courses, or catch up on skills that need reinforcement. Consistent tutoring over the summer helps prevent learning loss and sets students up for success when school resumes.

College-bound students in Austin benefit from tutoring that strengthens their GPA, improves standardized test scores, and deepens understanding in rigorous courses. Tutors help students tackle AP and honors classes, develop strong study habits, and build confidence in challenging subjects—all of which matter for college admissions and placement. This support is especially valuable during junior and senior years when academic performance directly impacts college opportunities.

Simply tell us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, current challenges, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who fits their learning style and academic needs. You'll schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and from there, you'll work together to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
