About Rebecca
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!
One interest if mine has always been helping people in any way that I can. I knew that I always enjoyed helping my classmates if they had struggles, and I wanted to give back to my community and tutor even more, so I googled "online volunteer tutoring" and came across Learn To Be. After looking over their website, I applied to become one of their tutors and began tutoring!
I have tutored with a volunteer platform called Learn To Be for 6 months to a year at this point. Throughout that time, I have tutored kids spanning from 2nd grade through 9th grade. I tutor them in all subjects, including grade-level math, English, science, social studies/history, and Chemistry., though I prefer to teach K-5 in math, social studies, and reading.

Our first session is a get-to-know-each-other session. During this session, we usually play icebreaker games, talk about likes and dislikes, set goals for academia as well as tutoring, as well as assessment tests, to allow me to get the best understanding of where the student is at! I make these fun. games like Would-You-Rather and games like that to keep the attention present.
Some advice I would give a student looking to hire a teacher in my area of expertise is to ask as many questions as you can. Such questions could be, "What makes you qualified to teach [insert subject]?" or "Did you struggle with [insert subject] and now understand it and can actually understand some of the confusion?" or "What makes you different from other tutors?"
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
One of the most important things I think that students should think through before talking to teachers about their needs is their comfort level with the teacher. For example, asking themselves if they are comfortable enough telling the teacher that they do not understand the material the way it is being taught. Another question to think about is what exactly does the student need? Do they not understand the material at all? What is it about the material that they do not understand? If they don't know, ask the teacher/tutor to help them figure out what they need specific help with.

Rebecca was an excellent tutor. She was respectful and kind. She planned out her lessons and checked in regularly to make sure the level of understanding was there. She adjusted things if there were questions. She was kind and positive throughout the entire experience.
My son went to many tutors before Rebecca and none of them helped. Their style was different yet similar enough in the way that it was book-based. With Rebecca, I saw something that my son hadn't done with his other tutors before: incorporating games into the learning. It took a little while for him to trust Rebecca, but she was patient and understanding. She told me that she's tutored many kids like this in the past and that its going to be okay. About 1 month in, I could see how much progress was made: he went from a 60% in social studies to a 90%. Rebecca told me that grades don't matter as much as actually comprehending the material, so she made sure that he was comprehending...and he was!
After so many failed attempts, we are so lucky to have found Rebecca and would recommend her 10 times over.Rebecca made the lessons very enjoyable and personalized. She took an inventory of my child's likes and dislikes and put those directly into each lesson! I would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone!

The first session with me is usually about $30-35/hour due to all of the after-session work and materials bought for your child. After that first session, it goes down to $20-25/hour.
