Micheal

Biology Tutor • +7 Subjects

Salutations! My name is Micheal and I have been a Science tutor since 2009. I believe people naturally excel at things they enjoy, for me that is teaching. Originally my work focused on assisting students with classes I had previously taken while attending Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts. I found an honest excitement helping an individual grapple and ultimately grasp complex subjects pertaining to Chemistry and Biology. There is a personal reward and a level of pride that comes with helping someone learn. This feeling pushed me to seek other teaching opportunities. During my final year in college I was hired as a tutor for Boston Global, a small company which helps recently immigrated students in handling course material. That was a unique experience because it helped develop a talent for connecting to students with whom I may have had little in common. After graduation I moved to Washington D.C. to work at a gene sequencing laboratory. During my time in the capitol I was employed by a tutor contractor which helped me find numerous high school and college level students to tutor. Now I am back home working at Massachusetts General Hospital and looking to continue my career as a tutor. My experience and talent lie in the sciences because put simply, I love Science. That love is evident in my work and in the past has helped me get other students excited about the subject, and with that excitement came good grades.

Ndeh

10th Grade Math Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am currently a Senior Chemistry major student at Howard University. I transferred from Prince George's Community college where I majored in General Education. While at school, I enrolled into the AVID tutoring program, STEM collegian and SIR student programs. Through these platforms, I was exposed to many activities of leadership and community service. The AVID tutoring program was most significant because, I was able to reach out to middle and high school students who needed help in math.My effectiveness as a tutor comes from my ability to communicate and listen attentively to each individual's needs. Given the fact that everyone has different levels of comprehension, I aim at understanding the specific area of weakness and strength for each individual. I then start from what you know and understand easily to what seems to be confusing or difficult to understand. I also make sure that as soon as a concept becomes clear, we move on to solve as many problems as possible relating to that concept for more understanding.I acquired most tutoring skills at PGCC and HU math labs (the schools I attended). The math labs were used primarily for helping students finish-up assignments on time, improve grades in math courses, prepare for math placement exams and get an overall understanding of any subject matter relating to math. At these labs, I did a work-study program and served as a volunteer for 20 hours every week. I helped college students get better grades, get a better understanding of the subject matter and complete their homework in a timely manner. My joy and satisfaction came from the feedback I got from students who would say "you helped me get an A on my exam" , "you helped me pass this class" and many students said "math isn't that hard." I specialize in tutoring the basic concepts/courses in math which I believe is the basis for getting a good grasp of the subject matter. I grew up loving math because I spend hours in my early years in school trying to understand the basic concepts and once I got a hold of certain concepts, it set a tone for higher level math and made it seem so easy. Easier than English. I love tutoring all Grade school courses in math and Pre/intermediate and college Algebra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Troy has 6 school districts serving over 8,100 students across 20 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a Troy City School District school or one of the surrounding district schools, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand these state benchmarks and can provide targeted instruction to help students master grade-level skills, prepare for state assessments, and build confidence in challenging subjects.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will ask about their goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building foundational skills—and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs.

Students in Troy typically seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized exams like the SAT and ACT.

While Troy's average student-teacher ratio is reasonable, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style and pace. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students who learn differently, need to accelerate, or struggle with specific concepts that require deeper explanation and practice.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or occasional support.
