In her spare time, she loves to garden, go hiking, and play with her dog, Luna.

One of her co-teachers states “She was able to make quick connections with students and she also excelled in getting new students engaged and fostering their curiosity over the sessions.” Another states that she is “friendly, approachable, shares ample context, and very personable.”

This instructor has lived in Austin almost continuously since 1962. He received a Bachelor’s in Mathematics from Trinity University in San Antonio, tutoring all along the way, and later a second Bachelor’s in Theatre and Drama from the University of Texas. After retiring from UT as a system administrator at the School of Nursing, he began pursuing his love of teaching in 2019 as a math tutor, later branching out into English, reading, writing, and further subjects. He is compassionate, patient, and adaptable in working with your student, using a cooperative and positive teaching style that concentrates on building competency and a confident attitude toward the subject matter, letting the student’s grasp of the material set the pace so they are neither bored nor overwhelmed, but engaged. The parent of one of his former students states that, as a result of tutoring, her daughter “went from being uninterested in school — and as a result anxious because she wasn’t learning — to acing the STAAR tests and feeling confident again in her learning.” Another states “He does an excellent job meeting each of them where they are. He explains the material in an age-appropriate way, tailoring his approach to each child’s level and needs.”

FAQs
What kind of training do your instructors have?
All WorldWise tutors are enrolled in or have completed college. Many also have Masters and PhDs. They all have years of experience teaching students of the ages and in the subjects, they specialize in. WorldWise tutors have also been taught the methodologies of Founder and CEO, Lindsey Wander. Before choosing a tutor, you will be provided with their bios detailing their education, experience, and training.
What age groups do you work with?
WorldWise Tutoring works with students of all ages and abilities. We have had students from ages 2 to 50.
What kind of improvement have you seen in past clients?
Just as each child is unique, so are their experiences. We have had students improve their reading scores by 50-75 percentile after just one session. We have also had some students who require the re-teaching of executive functioning skills every few weeks. Whatever the case, we do see the most improvement in students who also complete the personalized independent work we provide as an extension to the tutoring lesson.
Do you have experience working with different learning styles?
WorldWise Tutoring works with students of all abilities. Our instructors have experience helping students with various Learning Difficulties, including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Executive Functioning, Visual Processing, Auditory Processing, and Autism. We also have experience helping students with anxiety and depression. Some of our instructors are trained in Special Education.
Are your instructor’s backgrounds checked?

Where do the sessions take place?
WorldWise Tutoring instructors meet at locations convenient for the student and his/her family. This will all be arranged at the initial consultation and can be adjusted as needed.
What is your availability?
WorldWise Tutoring instructors meet at days and times convenient for the student. This will all be arranged at the initial consultation and can be adjusted as needed.
What are your prices?
WorldWise Tutoring’s prices depend on the grade level of the student and whether the sessions are 1-on-1 or small groups. Small groups of younger children are the least expensive per child. For instance, a group of seven Pre-K students costs $12/hr/student. On the other hand, 1-on-1 with older students is more expensive. For example, a private session with a college student can cost up to $110/hr. The specific price for your request will be provided during the initial consultation.
