PhD Cornell University • BA University of Windsor
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a PhD student in Chemistry at the University of Windsor. I did both my Undergraduate and Master's degree in Chemistry at the University of Windsor as well. I also did a year and a half of course/research work at Cornell University. I am interested in the academic field and hope to one day hold a position in the academic world to do groundbreaking research and teach the next generation of students the very fundamentals of Chemistry. I love teaching and I have been doing it since 2011. I have taught many students at different levels and from different backgrounds. I like to make sure that students understand concepts rather than memorize. I take my time explaining concepts and always have examples on the top of my head to help understand different problems in Chemistry.

BA Tulane University of Louisiana
1+ Years Tutoring

I am graduate of Tulane University with Bachelors in Arts with a focus on Theatre. During and after college, I worked in children's theatre, bringing Shakespeare to the schools in New Orleans. I then moved to Texas and began teaching 5th grade science. Doing this allowed me bring a "whole" approach to my teaching style, letting me create different frameworks for students so they could learn through their own interests. My varied background also allows tutor a wide variety of subjects, but I am most passionate about Science, History, and English/Literature. In my experience, students have the most fun and are engaged when they learn core subjects through an artistic approach. I am a firm believer in the enrichment education gives everyone and the opportunities it creates. In my spare time, I paint, cross-stitch, read, and sew.

PhD Wayne State University • PhD University of Michigan-Dearborn
2+ Years Tutoring

I have eight years of experience teaching and tutoring Science, Math, and English to students ranging from middle school to college. I graduated with my PhD in Molecular Biology/Microbiology in 2020 from Wayne State University. During my graduate studies I taught undergraduate Introductory Biology Labs. I also served as a lead lecturer for Microbiology for one semester. Prior to graduate school, I received my BSc in Biology from University of Michigan, Dearborn in 2014. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored peers primarily in Biology and English courses. I also taught swim lessons to children of all ages for 5 years. I have worked with several ESL students, especially in English, Reading, and Writing. I also worked extensively with a peer who was visually impaired, which allowed me to come up with creative teaching strategies, such as building a cardboard model of a cell instead of looking at a cell through a microscope. Additionally, I have a 4-year old son with autism, have a deep understanding of his learning struggles, and have learned a wide variety of strategies to help him learn at his full potential. Thank you for taking the time to read about by background; I am excited to begin working with you!

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Livonia's 36 schools and 6 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Livonia Public Schools district or another area district, we can match them with a tutor who understands Michigan's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Livonia students frequently seek tutoring in math, science, and standardized test preparation—particularly for the SAT and ACT. We also see strong demand for English/language arts support, especially for students working on writing skills and AP exam preparation.

During your first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss their specific challenges and goals, and learn about their learning style. This personalized approach means the tutor can immediately begin tailoring lessons to address gaps and build on strengths—whether that's catching up on Michigan standards or preparing for advanced placement exams.

While Livonia schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides undivided attention focused entirely on your student's needs.
