Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Ann Arbor, MI

...I'm planning on attending doctoral school for a PhD in Neuropsychology after a few years of working and traveling. I fell in love with Italy while studying abroad in Rome and will take any chance I can get to go back! When I'm not working, I enjoy visiting art museums and seeing musicals and plays. I was a peer tutor at Loyola for two years and have been a private tutor for the past year....

...up and ask questions so that the process is always student-driven and interactive. I am very creative and differentiated in my approach to teaching. I know that each student is different, with unique interests, and I tailor sessions to be effective for each particular student. Students are often surprised at how much they have learned and how quickly the lesson has gone by. But you know what they say, time flies when you are learning....

...frustration and pains of students, whether it be myself or my friends. I have always helped my friends with the subjects they struggled with (Calculus, ACT science, Economics, etc.) because I want to see them succeed. I decided to become a tutor to help others succeed as well. I teach ACT, SAT, Statistics, Economics, Business, Math, English, Environment Science, Reading, Writing, and Essay Editing. I especially enjoy teaching Essay Editing, Reading, and Writing because there...

...subject. I try to impart to my students a sense of discovery and joy in every session because I want them to feel as empowered and inspired by learning as I do. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, reading literary and philosophical texts, watching movies, keeping multilingual correspondences with friends who live in different countries, and going on long walks in my neighborhood just to admire the gorgeous, mountainous landscape of Los Angeles.

...tutoring. It’s extremely rewarding – and a lot of fun - to work one-on-one with an individual and watch the incremental progress, as he/she masters the material we’re working on. Initially, I was hired by Kaplan Institute to teach ACT & SAT prep courses. I originally viewed tutoring as a part-time job to help finance graduate school, but I soon branched out into tutoring on my own and have enjoyed it so much that I...

...which means that in tutoring I have a tendency towards over-preparation. In my three-plus years of experience, I've found that this tendency allows me to have enough flexibility to handle unexpected situations in the sessions. This might include stumbling upon knowledge gaps or working with a student who hasn't had material effectively communicated to them previously. I started tutoring my senior year of high school and continued into my college years at Emory; thanks to...

...during study hall, working with youth in after school programs, helping adults who wish to improve their English, and helping friends who home school their kids. My most preferred subjects are Biology and Economics because I like knowing how things work and how people think on a larger scale. While it is important to know facts or the application of facts, I feel that learning how to learn and critical thinking are important and are...

...that students should be provided with opportunities to achieve success every class. Materials should be organized as much as possible to accommodate diverse learning dispositions, so I try to vary my teaching methodology according to the needs of my students. My experience teaching philosophy has helped me develop the crucial ability to awaken the analytical skills and evaluative abilities in students. My goal is to empower students to become responsible, successful, and productive members of...

...academic goals. My approach to test prep starts with a thorough review of the material to refresh any topics that might be weak. Then we complete a variety of practice problems to familiarize the student with the format of the exam and the common tricky situations. I earned a PhD in biomedical engineering from The University of Michigan in 2013. I have since started a nonprofit organization which focuses on developing low-cost sustainable agriculture practices.

I love reading and would love to share that passion with you. I hope that my time as your tutor would be fun and extremely helpful for your learning. I also test well and can help you learn about standardized tests and how to succeed on test day.
