BA Oakland University • Current Grad Student, French Language Wayne State University
10+ Years Tutoring

I graduated in April 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in French Language and Literature with a Teaching English as a Second Language minor. I plan on becoming a translator/interpreter/ESL teacher. I taught Hispanic adults at the intermediate level for 4 months as a student teacher. I was an ESL teacher's assistant for a month during the summer. The class consisted of 2nd graders preparing for the upcoming school year. While in high school I tutored a couple of girls for a whole school year (English, French). I also tutored someone who was a French beginner and I tutored a Venezuelan in English. Right now I am an online English teacher for Chinese children and I tutor an American in Polish. I love teaching, it's been my dream ever since I have been a child. Even though it's a lot of hard work, I find it very rewarding especially when a student finally understands something!

MS Wayne State University • MS Amirkabir University of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

I have a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology. I just got my Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and working on my Ph.D. I am also getting another Master's degree in Computer Science at the same time at Wayne State University. I believe there is always learning in teaching, so I enjoy helping others with their education goals not only because of improving their level of knowledge but also mine. Since I was an undergraduate student, I've been teaching different subjects to so many students from various age groups, backgrounds, and personalities. I do believe the best way to help students is first to build a strong relationship and then try to see the subject from their perspectives so you can focus the light on the dark parts that are the most needed. It makes the teaching/learning process smooth, efficient, and enjoyable for both sides. I am open to tutoring all the mathematics, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, and computer science-related subjects. I believe the education goal is to search and find our answers to make life better not only for ourselves but all human beings, and in the search for the answers lies the answer.

BA Wayne State University
8+ Years Tutoring

I have 2 bachelors degrees from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.The first was a B.A. in Mathematics. The second was a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.I have 2 years of part - time tutoring experience, as well as coaching middle school football.I enjoy tutoring elementary and middle school math as well as reading and writing. I believe these are the building blocks for all future education and; if a student has a firm foundation in these areas, they should be able to more easily cope with future learning / educational experiences, whether in a school or workplace environment.I equally enjoy teaching both math and reading / writing.If a student has trouble reading or writing, they will probably always have trouble understanding things and being able to properly communicate with others.And being comfortable with math will help students be better able to analyze and solve non-math problems, whether personal or work environment, that they will encounter later on. They will be better able to think analytically.My tutoring style is to help students to think analytically. What is being asked? What information do you have? Do you have enough info. to solve the problem? Do you need to get more information? How can you get that info?Similar questions would apply to help a student with reading. What is the author talking about? Do you understand what you read? Would you like to read more articles / books like this? Why or why not?I enjoy tutoring because I like to help people. I was not a gifted student and had to work REALLY hard to get good grades. Hence, I can relate to a student who is struggling and doesn't easily "see" something. I am willing to try different approaches to help a student "see the light".My personal interests include travel, reading and exercise. I have exercised my entire life and continue to do so now. I believe that exercise is the "fountain of youth"!I have traveled to Asia, Europe and much of the US.I also enjoy reading. I have trouble keeping up with the magazines I get, as well as books I would like to read!And, of course, there are some interesting shows I watch on TV.I try to stay active, informed and in good health.I hope you found what I have written to be interesting and I hope that I will be able to help you.

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!

BA Wayne State University • Doctor of Philosophy, Biomedical Engineering Wayne State University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a PhD candidate at Wayne State University for Biomedical Engineering. I graduated in 2014 with a dual degree major in Biochemistry and Psychology. I have three years of undergraduate research experience working in a Computational Chemistry Lab and two years of experience working in a wet chemistry lab in industry. My research background helped deepen my understanding of core concepts taught in my biochemistry classes. On the other hand, my psychology background has trained me to be patient, and understanding of cognitive learning across all ages. I have been successful in using all of the mentioned skills to teach family and friends. I have had nothing but positive experiences tutoring and it gives me joy to foster the younger generations interests in math and the sciences. Some of my best teachers have been my hardest teachers and they have taught me to be persistent. This applies for me as a teacher and as a student as I do not leave work unfinished as a student nor am I able to leave another student without giving them a fair chance at success.

BA Wayne State University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a third-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Michigan. I graduated from Wayne State University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I am currently tutoring material related to the USMLE Step 1 exam. During my undergraduate years, I worked extensively as a general chemistry tutor, where I developed a strong passion for helping students understand difficult concepts. Through my experience working with a wide range of learners, I've come to appreciate that students have diverse learning styles. I've also learned that effective tutoring goes beyond simply conveying information and requires building a genuine connection with each student to better understand their goals, challenges, and motivations. I believe my ability to connect on a personal level and tailor my approach to each student's unique needs is what makes me an effective tutor.
