Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Hobbies: photography, travel, reading, music, writing, running, art, books, traveling

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring and I thoroughly enjoy helping students gain an understanding and a drive for their studies. I have a long history of working with students of all grade levels and abilities (elementary school through college), and I have a good understanding of strategies to excel in both general academics and standardized tests.
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Earnest
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am comfortable with either setting. I'm confident that I can help you (or your student) achieve to the best of their ability, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Royal Oak's 15 schools in both the Royal Oak and Shrine Catholic school districts. Whether your student attends a public or private school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide personalized support aligned with what they're learning in the classroom.
Tutors work with students on Michigan's state standards across core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With Royal Oak's average student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills an important gap by giving students focused attention on areas where they're struggling or want to excel, helping them master grade-level expectations and prepare for state assessments.
Royal Oak students frequently seek tutoring in algebra and geometry, where many hit a conceptual wall, as well as chemistry and physics. We also work with students on standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), AP exam preparation, and writing skills. English language support is another area where we connect students with tutors who can help them build confidence in reading comprehension and written expression.
During the first session, the tutor gets to know your student's learning style, current academic challenges, and goals. They'll assess where gaps might exist, ask about what's happening in their classes, and develop a personalized plan. This foundation helps the tutor tailor their approach so every session after that directly addresses what your student needs most.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects Royal Oak high school students with tutors who specialize in SAT prep (targeting the 400-1600 scale) and ACT prep (1-36 scale). Tutors work on test-taking strategies, content review in math and reading, and practice test analysis—helping students build confidence and improve their scores for college applications.
Yes, many Royal Oak middle school students benefit from tutoring as they transition to high school. Tutors can strengthen foundational skills in algebra, writing, and study habits—all critical for success in high school coursework. Getting ahead or filling gaps in middle school makes the jump to high school much smoother and helps students build confidence early.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options so you can find a plan that fits your family's budget and schedule. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and get transparent pricing information tailored to your situation.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a qualified tutor who fits their needs and learning style. Most families can schedule a first session within days, so your student can start getting the personalized support they need right away.
