Michael S.
After working with hundreds of students, Michael understands that struggles with math and science are incredibly common—and that students are not alone. Often, classroom teachers don’t have the time to adapt to every student’s unique learning style. That’s where Michael steps in: he works closely with each student to find the approach that makes the most sense for them. His past students have gone from being frustrated by a single problem all day to breezing through it with just a small shift in perspective.
Michael’s teaching experience spans a wide range of settings, from one-on-one tutoring in high school to leading review sessions for hundreds of college students. He was even selected as the pedagogy fellow in his graduate program, responsible for preparing incoming graduate students to teach—an honor that reflects both deep content knowledge and outstanding instructional skill. This high-level perspective on effective teaching methods enables Michael to bring exceptional flexibility and responsiveness to his tutoring sessions.
In terms of subject expertise, Michael brings thousands of hours of experience, including 11 years of tutoring, 7 years as a teaching assistant, 2 years of instructing college courses, and both a PhD and a BS in Physics, along with an undergraduate minor in Mathematics. With this foundation, he is confident in his ability to work through any course material alongside his students.
Michael’s tutoring journey began in high school, when he noticed that many of his peers didn’t know where to turn for academic support. This inspired him to explore Universal Design for Learning—an approach that emphasizes presenting content in multiple formats to meet different learning styles. Since then, he has supported college students in tutoring centers, led supplementary instruction sessions, and taught lecture and lab courses at the university level. Michael creates a learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions, engage deeply in discussions, and leave sessions empowered to apply their learning in the real world. He brings this wealth of experience to every tutoring session to help students get exactly what they need from their education.

Known for his clear and structured teaching style, Aidan emphasizes a foundational approach: identifying gaps in understanding and guiding students step by step until they feel confident tackling challenges independently. His greatest joy comes from watching students turn confusion into clarity and self-doubt into confidence. Outside the classroom, Aidan is a jazz enthusiast who plays saxophone and piano, enjoys programming to solve real-life problems, and is always learning something new, often while singing along to his favorite songs.
William W.
A UT graduate and published author, William has been tutoring for over 6 years and specializes in Digital SAT/ACT Test Prep. His teaching style is personal, relaxed, engaging, and most of all, fun. “I believe that the student’s comfortability is essential to their learning,” William says, “They have to actually enjoy being there.” All of William’s students have seen large increases in SAT and ACT scores, with the vast majority being accepted to at least one of the schools of their choice. “I attribute most of my success with my students to my ability to relate to them on a personal level. Creating a comfortable and engaging environment in which they can be themselves and open up is the only way to really help them find their drive. After that everything sort of comes easily.” William believes he has a natural affinity for young students primarily because he has always remained “young at heart”, and “genuinely enjoy(s)” his work. However, he admits that “the most rewarding part of my job is seeing my students succeed.”
