Howdy! I grew up in Brady, a small town in the heart of Texas. After high school, I attended Texas A&M University on an academic scholarship and majored in Biology, and am a proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '05 WHOOP!! After graduating from Texas A&M, I moved to Austin where, like every young professional that moves to Austin, I worked at Dell in the employee purchase program. I quickly realized that call center life was not for me and in exploring the options available to me I decided to try teaching. I started my career teaching at an alternative by choice school, Richarte HS, in Georgetown, TX and finished up at Liberty Hill HS in Liberty Hill, TX. During my career, I taught everything from chemistry and physics to anatomy/physiology, and upper-level mathematics. I even taught dance and coached the drill team for a few years too! After teaching for five years, and realizing that teachers barely get to teach their students, I decided I would be able to help more students succeed through tutoring and started Karly Steffens Tutoring that is now Karly Cummins Tutoring. Currently I am back in the classroom where I teach Biology. As a tutor I work with both high school and university students to improve their science and math scores among other things!
