Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in Ann Arbor, MI

I graduated from the University of Michigan in May 2015 with a degree in Honors Biophysics. As an undergraduate, I taught and tutored many students in a wide variety of introductory science courses at the University of Michigan. Post-graduation, I have continued to tutor full-time in addition to doing research through the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program. I believe that all of the students I work with are intelligent, but often lecture-based...... I am very focused on promoting active learning in students. It is important to me I push students to do as much as they can without me and consider questions carefully before I give them answers.

In line with my aspirations to work in higher education, I believe that education is an incredibly important and...

...by the motto: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." This motto has helped me focus on being a good listener, which I believe has made me a very effective instructor/tutor. When a student says that he/she does not understand a concept, I will often ask him/her a couple follow-up questions in an effort to identify the root cause of his/her misconception. Then the student and I can...

...Mountains. I have been tutoring for the past year in English, writing, math from elementary through high school levels, standardized tests, and chemistry.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. I have been tutoring for the past 10 years.... I believe that a passion for learning is contagious, and a joy in teaching encourages participation and engagement in learning.... Tutoring is more private and personal, hence I spend time building mutual trust and confidence. It is essential to identify why the student seeks tutoring, what they expect from tutoring, and how much time and effort they are willing to spend. Next, we will prioritize objectives and develop a game-plan together. Lastly, I want to dive into the material and give the student something immediately useful after their first meeting.

...had a more complicated relationship with math. Rarely the kid to instantly grasp a mathematical concept from a textbook explanation, I learned how to approach each challenge from multiple angles. This mindset transformed my view of math, and I came to appreciate even the more advanced problems as the enticing critical thinking puzzles they really were. Most importantly, it made me enthusiastic about solving difficult problems, and I have applied this mentality to all of...
