FUN Tutoring

Hello there! I'm Rebecca, a junior at the University of Texas at Austin, where I double-major in Psychology and Humanities Honors on a Pre-Medical track! Throughout my education and tutoring experience, I have found that learning is most effective when teachers engage with students in ways beyond traditional teaching methods, such as incorporating a joke every once in a while or letting their personality shine through. I have found that I do best in classes with teachers or professors who are easily approachable, funny, and caring, which are all traits I do my best to emulate with my students!

In lessons, I use many different learning modalities to increase student comprehension, confidence, and overall performance. One method is the "try it yourself first" method, where I provide the question or problem, and have the student attempt to solve it to the best of their abilities. If they get it right, confidence increases, and we do a quick summary of how we got to the correct answer. If not, we work through the problem together and answer any questions that might come up. We also use online games such as Blooket to further independent problem solving.

I have over three years of experience tutoring folks from kindergarten all the way up to 26 years old in math, English, chemistry, psychology, and more, but I have found a love for tutoring math and psychology. Primarily, I have worked one-on-one with students, but I have experience tutoring in groups, where we use strengths-based and community-building approaches. Learning and studying in groups has been shown to help in deeper learning, as students can help each other and explain the topic in new ways.

Overall, my goal is to help you reach your goals! I am very flexible and am willing to use whatever materials you would like to use, and am very quick to respond! Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!
