Though originally from South Texas, I recently relocated to Austin to pursue a Ph.D. in English. My areas of specialization are Medieval and Renaissance British literature. Prior to this, I received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Texas State University-San Marcos and, while pursuing my M.F.A., lived in San Antonio. As I continue my graduate studies and teach colege-level courses, I am excited to share my love of the written word with students who want to grow as writers and readers. While the majority of my tutoring and teaching experience has taken place within a college writing center or classroom setting, I would be well-suited to work with college-bound high school students preparing for AP English exams and college application essays. I also have extensive experience working with students who have developmental and remedial educational needs and, additionally, have experience tutoring students for whom English is a second language. Where literature is concerned, aside from being well-versed in early British literature, I also have abiding interests in African-American literature, Mexican-American literature, Native-American literature, and poetry in particular across time. My undergraduate and master's degrees required me to read far and wide within the American and British literary traditions, however, and I have had great success working with students who struggle with literary analysis.I believe that everyone is capable of critical thought and creative expression regardless of her or his educational background or learning level. Everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and a story that deserves to be told. As a tutor, my primary goal is to uncover and foster these things in my students because I believe that you cannot use the voice that’s uniquely yours until you first believe that you have one. And while I will put on my teacher hat when the occasion calls for it, I am first and foremost a tireless cheerleader and a relentless believer in my students. I strive to empower my students by cultivating their self-confidence and encouraging them to take intellectual and creative risks, all of which are qualities that extend far beyond the confines of an English class.Because I am a writer—specifically, a poet—many of my interests and hobbies revolve around language and literature. I am an avid reader of everything from Greco-Roman mythology to Contemporary American Poetry to Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Other interests include foreign languages in general and the Spanish language in particular, the American Southwest, classical music and music in general (I sing and play the clarinet, oboe, recorder, and ocarina), the visual arts, Star Wars and Star Trek, and the Middle Ages. I love being outdoors and am an avid hiker and backpacker. I also love to travel and have wandered across the United States, Mexico, Peru, India, and England. I hope to return to India one day and dream of going to Thailand and Tibet. My work schedule keeps me fairly busy and my cats Linus and Fergus keep me perpetually on my toes, but in my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, discovering the next best place to eat that nobody has ever heard of, combing through the shelves at Halfprice Books, and exploring the city of Austin.

I hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry from Texas A&M University. Currently I am a postdoctoral associate at Trinity University where I am pursing additional training in teaching and research. Teaching has been a passion of mine; from my eagerness to mentor the kids in my neighborhood to my excitement of giving a mini lecture on the concept of balancing chemical equations in my middle school class to the time I gave my first research talk in college. Such moments have played a significant role in my long term career goals of teaching and mentoring students as they prepare for their different academic work. My attitude towards learning is "don't be afraid to ask for help". Essentially, I look forward to working with students to help them succeed in the areas they need help with.

I am in my final semester at the University of North Texas, majoring in political science, minoring in criminal justice and social science, and recieving certificates in legal studies and Latine/Mexican American studies. I also work tutoring and caring for elementary school students in an extended school day program. I look forward to assisting students learn the subjects that once intimidated me, such as government, politics and history. There is always so much going on in the school day and its beneficial to get more indepth help with subjects when you can. I am willing to provide this assistance so students feel comfortable and confident with the material they are learning. In my free time, I enjoy painting and watching TV or movies.

My name is Jasmine, and I am a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Austin, where I triple majored in Plan II Honors, Psychology, and Music. I have always valued education and effective testing taking strategies, especially as an incoming medical student. I am very meticulous, patient, and motivating! I have tutored college students in subjects such as writing, math, reading, and music. Ever since I was in high school, I have enjoyed working with children through volunteer activities and over the years have developed the sensitivity and patience required to instruct children as well as connect to them. I am currently a Youth Market Coordinator for the American Heart Association. In this part-time position, I speak to large groups of elementary school children and educate them on how to live healthy lives while spreading the mission of AHA. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Hi! I'm Thomas. I am a graduate from medical school (MD) and have completed my Master's in Public Health (MPH). I've been tutoring all my life and am excited to continue with Varsity Tutors! I specialize in most Math and Science subjects, as well as subjects directly related to medical school (and of course the MCAT).

My name is Edward. I look forward to helping out anyone that is facing academic or linguistic challenges. I have a Master In Education from Texas A and M College Station and currently teach 5th grade in New Orleans, LA. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 4th and 5th grade in a general education classroom and in a dual-language setting. I am fluent in Spanish and have experience teaching ELL students. I have tutored for Math courses as high as Pre-Calculus. I love teaching Math, Essay writing, and Reading. Those are the core subjects, I know, but I truly have a passion for teaching and seeing individual growth in those I help tutor. I understand that everyone learns differently and look forward to helping you achieve your goals by differentiating my instruction so that you can feel comfortable and positive about the learning experience.

I have always placed my focus on understanding the world around me in a straightforward, logical way. Thus, I have always excelled in mathematics and areas of science, of which the goal is to explain how the universe works. In addition to being a highly analytical individual, I am also very much in tune with my creative and artistic side, a combination which balances out both my world and interpersonal views. I take exceptional pride in my strong work ethic, pushing myself as close as possible to performance perfection. I believe wholeheartedly in being trustworthy and hardworking, determined to persevere regardless of workload, time constraints, or hardships. As such, my perspective is that while circumstances fluctuate, one's true character is reflected in one's ability to adapt and stay true to one's integrity. I aim to always reflect such character.

Hi, my name is Beau, and I am studying for my Bachelor's in Computer Science at the University of Texas. I spend a lot of my time learning, and most of my time in high school, was either studying for the 17 total AP exams I took, or studying for Academic UIL competitions and Science Bowl. I spend a lot of my time in class, or learning outside through self study of what I'm interested in, like other computer science languages, or different real world science and math problems.
