About Austin

Hi I'm Austin! Ive worked with children for 15 years as a counselor, behavior therapist, substitute teacher, and instruction aide but the thing I'm most passionate about is tutoring for a family. I did this for the first time in 2011 teaching English to children in Madrid, Spain. The progress we made was so rewarding! In 2015, I taught English again with both children and adults 1:1 and in groups in Mexico City. When I returned to San Diego in 2016 to 2019, I went back to autism therapy, but I missed tutoring. So when COVID hit, parents hired me to assist their kids on zoom school. This became my speciality and I did this for a 3, 8, 10 and 12-year-old in 2020 to 2021. In 2023 to 2024 I tutored an 11 yr old boy who had all Ds and Fs and needed to pass 5th grade. He was intelligent, but had an emotion regulation issue. So I used some programs for motivation and coping I have learned and by 4 months into working with him, he had all As and Bs!
