Timothy

College Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm a student at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor pursuing a major in finance and a minor in mathematics. During the summer of 2017, I suffered a serious knee injury that ended my dreams of playing college basketball; consequently, I shifted my focus from basketball to getting into some of the top institutions in the country. This is something my parents, who are both immigrants with PHD's, always wanted for me and thus, I spent the rest of the summer after my surgery self-studying for the SAT and ultimately improved my score by 200 points (scoring in the 99th percentile for Math). I also succeeded at getting into my dream school, the University of Michigan. Hobbies: travel, sports, reading, music, writing, art, books, traveling

Surina

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +45 Subjects

I am currently a fourth year dental student at University of Michigan. I graduated from Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University with a double Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Psychology. I have been tutoring for approximately eleven years, and have worked with students ranging from third grade to college students. I began tutoring as a way to give back to the community, help students become interested in the world around them and grasp the knowledge just waiting at their fingertips. I have tutored a variety of subjects including Math, Reading, Writing, and Science classes, as well as standardized tests such as the SAT and assisted with college admission essays. I really enjoy tutoring Math, because it was one of the subjects I struggled with the most while going through Middle School and High School. It taught me how essential it is to have a strong foundation not just in Math, but in any and every subject. Having struggled in certain courses before, I understand how frustrated students might get if they are struggling to understand something that is not "sticking," and I try to make tutoring more interactive and fun to counteract that. Also, I focus on making sure students truly understand the concepts we are learning, rather than just memorizing facts in the moment. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing badminton, singing, and traveling to new cities around the World.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 62 schools across Ann Arbor's 6 school districts, Varsity Tutors connects students from every district—including Ann Arbor Public Schools, Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Milan, and Manchester—with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and expectations. Whether your student attends a public, charter, or private school, we can match them with personalized instruction tailored to their specific coursework.

Michigan's M-STEP assessments and high school standards require strong foundational skills in math, reading, and science. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these standards at their own pace, filling specific knowledge gaps that larger classroom settings—with Ann Arbor's 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio—may not address individually. Tutors focus on the exact concepts your student is struggling with, building confidence and competency in state-required content areas.

Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. The tutor will discuss your student's current coursework, specific challenges, learning style, and goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for AP exams, or strengthening fundamentals. They'll outline a personalized plan and explain how sessions will be structured to address your student's needs. Most families find this initial conversation clarifies exactly where to focus effort.

Ann Arbor students frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus as math concepts become more abstract, as well as chemistry and biology as science coursework increases in rigor. English composition, AP exam preparation, and foreign language proficiency are also common areas where personalized instruction makes a measurable difference. The specific subjects depend on your student's grade level and academic path, which we discuss during the initial connection.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—there's no one-size-fits-all cost. We work with families to find a tutoring plan that fits their budget and their student's needs, whether that's weekly sessions or intensive test prep. Contact us to discuss your situation, and we'll provide transparent pricing for the specific support your student needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with subject-matter experts—many with advanced degrees, teaching credentials, or specialized expertise in their field. Tutors are vetted for their knowledge and teaching ability, ensuring they can explain complex concepts clearly and adapt instruction to each student's learning style. Whether your student needs help with Michigan state standards or advanced AP coursework, tutors have the expertise to guide them effectively.

Progress shows up in multiple ways: improved grades on assignments and tests, stronger performance on M-STEP assessments, increased confidence in class participation, and a clearer understanding of previously difficult concepts. Most families notice changes within 3-4 weeks of consistent sessions. Your tutor will also provide regular feedback on your student's progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep moving toward your goals.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject areas, current challenges, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor who fits their learning style and academic needs, and you'll have a personalized tutoring plan in place quickly. Most families connect with a tutor within a few days, so your student can begin making progress right away.
