Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.

Megan
PhD Princeton University • BA University of Michigan
13+ Years Tutoring

I'm a doctoral candidate at Princeton University in the German department, where I've taught German language, literature and philosophy since 2008 and regularly received the highest scores for student satisfaction on my teaching evaluations. I majored in Biology and German as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. I believe it is a teacher or tutor's responsibility to determine a student's individual learning style and tailor her lessons accordingly. I do a brief interview with each client to ascertain whether he or she is a visual, auditory or combination learner and teach with these results in mind. I look forward to working with you to achieve your academic goals!

Ajay
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a current undergraduate at the University of Michigan. I am a Biochemistry major and Philosophy minor, with years of experience tutoring students. Through high school, I tutored kids in the ACT, math, science, literature, and debate. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, as I have taken Chemistry Honors, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry(1 and 2). I believe that tutoring is a two way street, with the student learning about the material, but the teacher learning about how the student interacts with the material. Due to this, I am a very hands-on tutor who is always available for a text/call outside of class. Outside of academia, I am a singer and have been for 13 years now - a choir singer for 7 years and now in a premier acapella group at the University of Michigan.

Kerry
BA University of Michigan
10+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. I am working on my third year in the Bachelors of Business Administration program. Throughout my time in both college and high school I have experienced the 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 is more flexibility and opportunity to add your own style into these subjects. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, working out, DJing and cooking.

Henry
BA Carleton College
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising Junior computer science major, biochemistry minor at Carleton College. I remember how important asking for help was when I was studying for exams and would love to assist students going through the same process. Although I am knowledgeable in many subjects, I am most equipped tutoring in college and high school-level computer science, college and high school-level biology, and SAT prep. During high school, I tutored my classmates in preparation for the SAT, and have two years of experience tutoring college students in computer science courses. I learn best when I understand the practicality and relevance of the material, and hope to instill those concepts in my lessons.

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.
