Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving San Marcos, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

Hi! My name is Lipika and I am a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, pursuing physics on the space sciences track and a minor in business. I've always loved being a mentor to kids and younger teenagers. I especially enjoy teaching concepts related to STEM and have been doing so since early high school.

...for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening...

...truly grasping its content; such a style makes it impossible for students to approach unfamiliar problems and think critically, and often contributes to their discouragement and their writing 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...

...and statistics! I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I 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,...

...quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also include a lot of examples and encourage...

...3D model, do puzzles, and personal projects in my free time. I have always gravitated towards STEM topics and grew to love them as I learned more about 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...

...am currently a third-year student majoring in 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...

...you. But growing up, anytime I had a question about math, I could go to my dad who taught math at a University level and he would make the subject fun and engaging. Because of that, I grew up loving math. No matter how difficult it was to grasp a concept at first, my dad would approach it in different ways until something clicked and and I felt like I had mastered it. I was...

...of my professors asked me to tutor his friend's college-age grandson in chemistry. We met for several hours a night, two to three nights a week, and although we worked hard, we both had a lot of fun. He improved greatly in the time I worked with him, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch him master concepts that he once found difficult. I hope to be able to help students understand the material they...

...Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where I worked with struggling students one-on-one. I then transferred to Texas A&M University, where 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...

...speech writing/editing, non-calculus based statistical analysis, basic algebra, and in test prep skills. My ultimate desire is not only to help students understand subjects that they may be struggling with, but to help them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of the classwork itself creates a student driven by curiosity and interest instead of just wanting...

I'm a college student at UT Austin studying Philosophy and Biomedical Engineering. I've tutored students from 2nd grade to college in subjects ranging from basic math to E & M Physics, but most of my experience is in SAT and ACT prep. I have pride in my ability to assess where students are and what they need to achieve their goals, and hope to work with many more students through Varsity.

...undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Administration. I have held a variety of military positions to include pilot of both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. I have six months of experience in the classroom as a high school teacher of Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I currently work for the Army as a Civilian. I enjoy the variety of students and the successes my students have received in learning math concepts....

Hello I am Aayush! I am from Austin, Texas. I have a degree in Mathematics with a minor in Actuarial Sciences. I have taught math for 6 years now. My expertise ranges from addition all the way up to calculus and statistics. I make math fun and enjoyable to do! I really look forward to teaching y'all!

...In terms of what I am interested in, I am interested in dealing with philosophy problems, with my own Catholic faith, with personal development, with starting a business or knowing how to start a business to be able to spread my ideas more successfully to more people as well as spread those ideas that I find to be already successful but not as well known, to share those. In terms of family, I enjoy interacting...

...for math and the sciences, I hope to influence my students to adopt this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years. I have been tutoring for years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have gained and the friendships I have made with other students. My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my students in any way possible, and...

...Before I entered law school, while I was getting my master's degree, I tutored a variety of high school subjects and the SAT and ACT. I enjoy tutoring immensely, and after nearly eight years of doing it, I have developed a repertoire of tricks that help my students learn more easily. I particularly enjoy tutoring high school math and physics, Spanish, and literature, but I have experience in most subjects. I know many, many words...

...to the student. I emphasize starting from where the student is at each session and then building a bridge to where we need to be to reach success. I also emphasize student reading new material as homework and then start the session we student questions about the material (i.e. where they are) and moving to working problems while I observe the students thought process in working the problem. Then assist the student as needed. I...

I am a great tutor because when I am finished tutoring a student, they not only get their work done, they understand the concept they were having trouble with. I tutored at Austin Community College for two years, I taught Secondary Mathematics for three years, and I taught at a career school for over 3 years, where I taught College Algebra, among other general education courses. ... Before getting started, I tend to get comfortable and...
