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

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. While I was a student, I tutored a few of my fellow classmates, as well as helped out younger family members and co-workers with homework problems. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and have even tutored my cousin in Mexico in Math. I have experience working with people of all ages.I love learning new things and enjoy sharing what I have learned along with others. I usually share what I learned by teaching others. I feel like I am pretty well rounded, but I am confident in tutoring most math subjects and Spanish.

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.

As a physicist, I have much experience in mathematics and science, but I also love to teach! In fact, my greatest joy comes from helping those who are eager to learn. I have studied in a wide variety of subjects anywhere from Math, Physics, Chemistry, and even Music Theory! If you want to know it, I will help you do so!

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.

Hi! I'm Rohail, and I'm a graduate student with a background in Biology and Psychology. I've spent several years tutoring and mentoring college students, particularly in science courses like Organic Chemistry. My approach to tutoring is simple: understanding beats memorizing. I love taking topics that seem confusing or overwhelming and breaking them down into smaller, manageable pieces. Whether you're trying to understand a difficult concept, prepare for an exam, or just figure out where to eve

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.

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.

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!

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.

As a dedicated educator with a Doctorate in Economics from the University of Miami, I have over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring various subjects, including Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance, and Macroeconomics. My teaching philosophy centers on making complex concepts relatable and engaging, tailoring my approach to each student's unique needs. I believe that effective learning occurs when students see the real-world applications of the material, which I emphasize through practical examples and interactive discussions. My passion for economics drives my commitment to student success, and I take pride in my ability to connect with diverse learners, from high school students to non-traditional adult learners. In addition to my teaching experience, I enjoy exploring economic principles in the context of everyday life, which enriches my tutoring sessions and fosters a supportive learning environment.

I finished my college education in 2001 by earning my Ph.D. in economics from Texas Tech University. I have been a college-level economics teacher beginning in 1992 and have been teaching economics students since then. Over the years, I have learned much more about the economics discipline itself, how economists do economics. Throughout my career, I have treated all my students as adults, respecting their ideas and opinions, having learned as much from them as they have learned from me. Believing all learning is initiated from a point of knowledge, I want to know where students are in their programs, what are their strengths and weaknesses especially. I help them leverage their strengths in addressing their weaknesses. This in the end makes for a more confident student, someone who not only believes they can accomplish that which they face on their own, but one who will overcome their challenges and will accomplish their goals. This approach is what I have taken over my lifetime in regards my own learning needs and as lifetime learner. I attest this approach to life has been enjoyably fruitful.

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!

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.

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.

With 10 years of experience teaching ELAR and Special Education, I am passionate about helping students build confidence, strengthen their skills, and achieve their goals. I believe every student learns differently, so I create personalized lessons that reflect each learner's unique needs, strengths, interests, and learning style. My approach combines patience, encouragement, and engaging instruction to make learning meaningful and enjoyable.

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.

I am a current J.D. candidate at Baylor University School of Law.

Having taught at almost every grade level, I have found that effective teaching contains two fundamental components: know your content and be effective with your pedagogy. From there, persistence and patience pave the road to success. My students over the years have told me that my genuine interest in improving their educational experience is what they most appreciate. I love my profession, and I respect my students. Meeting a student where they are in their educational journey is the starting point to successfully reach our learning goals.

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 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 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!
