About Me

Hi y’all, I’m Margaret Schindler, the owner and Chief Education Officer at West Houston Tutoring. I was born and raised here in Houston, Texas and I grew up in the Spring Branch and Memorial areas and still conduct most of my tutoring in those neighborhoods. I started tutoring at St. Edward’s University in Austin where I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in Spanish language. After graduating in seven semesters, I began work as a medical assistant for several years, then branched into the field of molecular biology, where I collected, purified and analyzed DNA from various bodily fluids. During that time, I received my MB (molecular biologist) certification from ASCP, the American Society for Clinical Pathology.

I read voraciously, and when staying active, I love hitting the burning sands in my volleyball leagues. I met my husband in the Spring Branch area of Houston in late 2016, we married in 2019, and we welcomed home our daughter, Rose Elm Schindler, a few days before Christmas of 2023. I decided to start my own business when I realized how much joy I would get from teaching her every day, and how much time I would be able to spend at home with her while pursing my greatest passions: education, experience and excellence.
