A Little Bit About Me...

--4 plus years tutoring college students in remedial math courses plus College Algebra --1 plus years tutoring middle school and high school students in Algebra 1 & 2, including AP --In addition to working with students actively taking courses, I also have worked with students preparing for the GED and THEA tests Algebra courses
When I started college, at the ripe old age of 36, I had to retake remedial math courses and when I didn’t understand something I sought out help…either by being the crazy woman in the back of the room asking question after question, in tutoring labs, YouTube videos, etc. I absolutely refused to give up, so I worked my butt off!!! While sitting in the tutoring lab on campus one day, I saw a woman struggling with the course I had completed the previous semester and offered up help. She told me that she learned more in 10 minutes from me than she had in ... read more

My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : I know the structure and mechanics of the test, and can teach you how to beat the test-makers. Have test-anxiety? I can help you calm down before and during a test.

Tutor in the Austin Area for 10 years. Vendor in 'Tutorial Services' for a State Agency for five years. Helped students from 16 to 46 get to where they need to be. Helped students to achieve their goals, and become more efficient with their time and their abilities. I have a knack of making the complicated simple. Experienced, I can easily break down subjects to their essence. Confident and charismatic, I can foster a sense of achievement and self-worth in a student who is struggling with self esteem or test anxiety issues. Familiar with subjects, I am an expert at many levels and across many disciplines. I am the total tutor, who still has much to learn himself.

An intellectual and goofy tutor looking to help out.

I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me.
I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the ... read more

Bilingual, Spanish/English, Tutor

My style is hands on and practical. I feel it is important for my students to understand how they can apply what they learn to real life and teach them how to problem solve when they are in difficult situations. In addition, I am very personable and I work hard to help my student achieve their goals.
I am responsible for professional development of teachers seeking ESL certification, train principals on bilingual/ESL requirements and work as an instructional coach to teachers. In addition, I provide English classes for adults in my district. In order to aid my teachers and help them keep up with the changing needs of our students, I am always researching for the most updated information in order for them to be knowledgeable on what is going on outside the school. It is important to me that I provide teachers, students and partners the best education possible.

More About This Tutor...

I can adjust to most settings. Right now I have a client back home that I work with on a once a month basis. I was used to high school and middle school students but have been working with their children who are in elementary grade levels. As such, they have vaulted to the top of their classes in math.
I have been a tutor for the past five years. I have experience working with students with different levels of comprehension, i.e. those struggling to graduate and coaching those involved in UIL academics. I was an accomplished UIL competitor as well as a coach of the number sense/math/science teams at the previous school where I was employed. My strengths lie in mathematics (Calculus for example) as well as physics.

Learning how to read critically and write clearly tends to improve academic performance across the board; students with strong reading and writing skills can absorb and communicate information effectively, even when they are unfamiliar with the material. Mastering these basic skills is as important for college and graduate students as for elementary and high school students. I can help you expand your vocabulary, polish your writing skills, and offer strategies for fast and effective reading comprehension, especially in preparation for the verbal sections of standardized tests. Finally, I am still a student myself, so I can sympathize with a heavy workload, and offer strategies for getting assignments finished on time.
I am a graduate student in the History Department at UT-Austin, and I have a BA in Philosophy from Brown University. Having been a teaching assistant at the college ... read more

I begin by first gaining an understanding of what their knowledge and perceptions are on a subject so I know their level of comprehension. Afterward, I like to illustrate the main parts as they relate to the whole so the student can get a full grasp of how each component fits into the big picture. From there we delve deeper into the details of the individual pieces.
Towards the end of my college career I assisted in "Community New Start" in Austin, TX which was a mentor program assisting high school children in under-privileged districts. I assisted with basic math and English material. A few months later a group of us from the University of Texas assisted in the "Reagan High School" project, where the district was considering closing the school down due to failing TAKS scores, mainly in reading comprehension and math. This entailed going into classrooms and helping teachers w ... read more
