My name is Bryan and I am a tutor specializing in tutoring for elementary and junior high students. I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor's of University Studies degree in Communications, History and Horticulture and Turfgrass Science. And I also have a Master's of Art Degree in Educational Administration and Supervision.

I am a certified teacher in the state of Texas. I started teaching in 2015 and have experience in elementary, jr. high and high school in all core subjects as well as with special needs students. I have taught mostly in a special education setting. I am currently SpEd certified for EC-12 and content certified for all core subjects from EC to 8th grade. I am currently working as a Behavior Specialist for a charter school system. My expertise is with children with various disabilities including Autism.

I believe that patience, adaptability and consistency are vital in tutoring and teaching students. We must be patient in learning about why a student may be having a problem learning and even more so when finding a solution to that problem. We must learn to adapt to each student and their learning styles. And we must be consistent in applying what we have learned.

Initial Session

Bryan was on time and effective at providing an assessment test to evaluate needs, then went about addressing some of the needs in a simple and straightforward manner.

Very pleased with Bryan

I was very impressed with Bryan's first visit. His overall presentation is professional and he arrived well prepared to teach my son. His lesson plan requires work from my son each week. My husband and I are very pleased with him. My son is very eager to learn piano and enjoys learning from Bryan. If you are looking for someone to teach your son/daughter, I highly recommend Bryan.
