2+ Years Tutoring

I hold graduate degrees in Applied Linguistics and Peace and Security Studies from Wayne State University. My studies took me to Lebanon, Greece, and Turkey. Since graduation, I have taught K-12 English in the US, and Academic English at several universities in Turkey. While I tutor several subjects, I most enjoy teaching English, Literature, and Social Studies. I have a student-centered approach to teaching. My students tend to enjoy our lessons as we truly build a rapport while covering the material according to their learning styles. I believe that education is the great equalizer, and am passionate about giving each student a chance to maximize their potential through learning and building self-esteem.

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.
