Travis L.

I am a certified teacher in the state of Texas. I am certified to teach all subjects for grades PK - 6. I am also certified to teach math and science for grades 8 - 12.

I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2011 with a degree in psychology and a minor in math.

I studied biomedical engineering for my first three years of college, so I have a very strong background in math and science. I also have a minor in math.

When I graduated from college, I was accepted into Teach For America, an organization dedicated to solving educational inequity in America. I taught as a 6th grade math and science teacher at Tijerina Elementary in Houston. I also taught 4th grade summer school at Bonham Elementary.

I have been a tutor for nine years. I was a Peer Tutor throughout all of high school and college. I am confident that I can tutor any math and science content. I have tutored students in almost every level of math and science.

I'm very friendly and personable. I am also very patient, so I am willing to listen and try to work through any misunderstandings that you may have, no matter how long that may take. As your tutor, I always want to make you feel comfortable and confident. I want you to know that you can count on me for support and encouragement, because I know that learning is a difficult but rewarding process.

Differential Equations

I earned an A in Introduction to Differential Equations at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where I also received my math minor.

The course that I completed focused on the use of STELLA computer software in order to model and interpret physical problems involving differential equations. Topics that were covered in the course were homogenous and non-homogenous differential equations, separable equations, exact equations, Laplace transforms, and second-order equations. I scored...

Linear Algebra

I earned an A in Linear Algebra at the University of Alabama at Birmingham as part of my math minor. I can send a copy of my transcript in order to verify this information.

Some of the topics covered in the course were: solving multiple systems of linear equations, spaces and subspaces, span, matrices, determinants, fundamental theory of linear algebra, logical proofs, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors.

To go into a little more detail, the first part of the class consisted of... Read More
