Tanya

Engineering Instructor Specializing in Math, Physics, and Chemistry

My background is in structural engineering. I completed my master's degree in engineering from Texas A&M in December 2010, and I worked in industry from January 2010 to March 2015, working as an engineer by day and moonlighting as a tutor by night. From 2015 to 2018 I worked as an engineering lecturer with the University of Texas at Tyler and Houston Community College. I taught various engineering courses from the freshman to senior level. In May 2018, I completed a Masters in Education at...

Butool J. from Houston, TX

The only obstacle I had between graduating was Calculus 2 and with Tanya's help (no seriously I've had other calc 2 tutors) I not only passed but I got a great grade. She was always so encouraging and patient with me and makes time for you no matter how busy her schedule is. I'm really grateful for her help she's an awesome tutor! I would definitely recommend her.


Kathy T. from Bellaire, TX

Tanya has been tutoring my high-schoolers in math and science. They are all doing well in these classes and are enjoying the subjects. Tanya relates well to the kids and they have fun while learning the hard stuff with her.


Trudy S. from Houston, TX

Tanya was very patient with my son. She helped my son gain a greater knowledge of his geometry problems. I look forward to having her work with him again. We are in our 3rd week and my son's test grade has improved exponentially! I am looking forward to his continued improvement!


Sylvia W. from Houston, TX

Tanya was able to start working with my daughter, tutoring her in Algebra I at the beginning of the school year when it became obvious that my daughter was already struggling - and getting a low grade. Tanya meets with my daughter weekly, and she is so relieved to be working with someone who can explain her math to her in way that she can understand. Grades have noticeably improved. Above all, my daughter has a great time with Tanya during her sessions; I hear a lot of laughing throughout the hour.


Sheri R. from Houston, TX

Excellent teacher, very organized, and knowledgeable about chemistry. Wish she had more time.


S S. from Sugar Land, TX

Tanya tutored my son for both AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry. She achieved great results for him and he got a 5 on both the tests. Highly recommend.


LOREL A. from Houston, TX

My daughter is very comfortable with Tanya. She also feels she is getting the help she needs for her GED test. Tanya is always easy to reach also.


Wendy S. from Houston, TX

Tanya has quickly been able to get my son up to speed in Chemistry. I recommend her. She is a good communicator and understands her subjects. My son told me he learned more from her in one hour than he did the entire year in class. 5/30/14 Post Final Update: My son just took his final and made a 79 which is downright amazing. In 3 weeks time Tanya got him from an F average to an overall average of a C in the class. She is focused, responsive, and pushed him to do what he needed to do to pass the class for the year! Wish I could clone her!


Andrew G. from Houston, TX

Tanya has been tutoring me the past couple of months through a summer College Algebra class. I cannot say enough good things about her. She knew the material off the top of her head and did not require any "review", which said a lot to me. She is extremely smart, but had a good way of explaining things so that I could grasp the material. She was very accommodating to my needs - meeting multiple times a week in the evenings and on weekends. I have absolutely no problem giving her the highest recommendation possible for ANY subject she feels qualified to tutor.


Susan A. from Richmond, TX

Tanya is very detailed, intelligent, and able to relate and connect on a student's level. My daughter was able to bring her GPA up ten points. I highly recommend this wonderful on-time tutor to anyone frantic about pre calc.


Danika P. from Houston, TX

My grades have improved and I feel more confident since I have been working with Tanya. I have maintained a solid "A". Thanks!


Christine C. from Houston, TX

Our 11th grade student was having a hard time transitioning to a new school and a new town, and some of her grades reflected this, including Chemistry. We realized it was necessary to find a tutor immediately as there were tests coming up and homework due and there was no time to mess around trying to muddle through the text book and "negotiate" due dates with the teacher. It was especially not helpful to punish our student or stress her out more by showing our disappointment and threatening to take away privileges. She needed REAL help. I did my research, but promptly settled on WyzAnt and Tanya. I was nervous because we didn't have any time to spare and a bad tutor would have been a waste of time, not to mention, money. Tanya showed up on time, quickly introduced herself, sat down with our student at the table and got to work. To put things into perspective, our daughter got a 33 on the first test and was so stressed out it was frightening. Tanya worked with her one night, the next day our daughter took her second test. I was hoping for passing. She got an 81. It was astonishing. Not only did our daughter make a decent grade on this next test, she's UNDERSTANDING the material, which helps her for a lifetime! Am I singing Tanya's praises? Yes, yes I am. I am a mother who hates the stress our kids are under, and a mother who is enormously grateful when a solution is found.


Perry W. from Houston, TX

Ms. L is great, she really challenges the student while providing a down to earth approach to explain difficult topics.


Cathy L. from Houston, TX

My son said she explained math to him where it made complete sense in an easy, understandable way. He thought she was an excellent tutor and we will definitely use her again and recommend her to others!!!! Thanks Tanya for helping him make a great grade on his test!


James T. from Houston, TX

Super cordial and easygoing the entire lesson which allowed me to easily ask my questions! Had all my current problems solved and under control in just 1 lesson. Definitely recommend Tanya for any high school student struggling in physics!


Rhonda H. from Houston, TX

Tanya helped my HS Senior tremendously in Chemistry. She was able to explain concepts in a language that he could understand.I highly recommend her tutoring services.


Conrad G. from Houston, TX

Tanya is a very nice person and helped me with AP Physics. She is very knowledgeable and make the subject fun. Always on time and very easy to get touch with. I will highly recommend her.


Karen S. from Houston, TX

Tanya has helped me on a regular basis in Physics 1. She knows a lot about the subject and likes to explain more than I technically am required to know just to make sure that I understand why we're doing what we are doing. My physics is not calculus based, but listening to her explain the basics about how calculus affects what we're working on helps my understanding a lot. She has been patient with me even when I don't understand quickly what she is explaining to me. Some of the problems in my textbook, especially the trick questions, have taken some time and thought to work through. Once we figure out what the question is asking for, if I still don't comprehend it she guides me through it by making me think about it instead of just giving me the right answer.


Socorro A. from Houston, TX

We (my daughter and I) met with Tanya for the first time on 02/20/2013. The first session focused on AP European History. I felt like Tanya quickly zeroed in on the reason my daughter is doing poorly - she is not reading the book, nor taking good notes. When my daughter starting asking about the French Revolution, Tanya went into a detailed explanation of WHY the French Revolution was so important. Even I learned a thing or two! I was very impressed. I certainly hope my daughter pays attention and puts Tanya's tips and guidance to good use. Tanya will also be tutoring my daughter on AP Statistics.


Jeselyn T. from Houston, TX

My daughter was 3 weeks away from finals. With Tanya's help she was able to bring her precalculus grade up and passed her final! Tanya was knowledgeable, patient and flexible.


Natasha S. from Bellaire, TX

Tanya is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to teach algebra to those who do not have a "brain for Math". She worked with my son for just a few weeks and he went from getting D's in Algebra to an A. We were absolutely amazed! Most of all she was dedicated to my son's success, she even tutored on a holiday to make sure he was ready for his test. She is a godsend. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with Math. She is the answer:)


Sarah R. from Bellaire, TX

She is very well prepared for her lessons. She makes learning enjoyable. Her teaching style engages her student. We are glad that we have found her.


Anuradha J. from Houston, TX

Tanya taught my daughter Thermodynamics and Electricity and Magnetism as a part of a College Physics course. Tanya is an excellent tutor. She has very good content knowledge and prepares her lessons well. She caters well to a student's need and teaches with full enthusiasm. It is rare to find tutors like Tanya. I wish her the very best and highly recommend her.


Sarah S. from Bellaire, TX

I was very unsure if I would pass my calculus 3 class so I asked for Tanya's help with my last exam and with my final. After three sessions together I passed my class with a B! Tanya helped me learn different concepts for my multi variable calculus class. She clearly explained everything and made sure I understood before moving on. She did a great job using our time wisely and getting through a lot of material. Tanya is easy to understand and she was very familiar with the material in my multi variable calculus class.


Charles C. from Houston, TX

Last year was AP Physics, this year calculus. I believe the continuity helps. She is patient and knowledgeable. My daughter is quite pleased.


Kimberly Michelle A. from Houston, TX

Thank you Tanya for your help. My daughter felt really comfortable with how you delivered the work to her. Because of you she is more confident in Physics.


Alessandra S. from Houston, TX

My daughter has improved steadily with Tanya's help. She has consolidated concepts that were unclear for her before the tutoring sessions began. We will be scheduling more sessions as we see Aurora's skill becoming stronger


Marcus C. from Houston, TX

She is great and a lot of background experience, she is very nice and makes learning fun! She doesn't rush you or judge you if you don't know the material. Tanya is very helpful!


RAQUEL J. from Houston, TX

She helped my sister gain a clear view of how to approach chemistry as well as go in detail with practice problems.
