Raha

Applied Mathematics Tutor • +46 Subjects

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Detroit's 54 school districts each have different curriculum standards and pacing, which can make it challenging for students to keep up. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Michigan's academic standards and can provide personalized instruction tailored to each student's specific school's expectations—whether they're in Detroit Public Schools, charter schools, or suburban districts. This localized approach helps students bridge gaps and build confidence in their coursework.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 20.7:1 across Detroit's schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need during the school day. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving students dedicated time to ask questions, work through challenging concepts, and receive immediate feedback—something that's difficult for teachers to provide in larger classroom settings.

Detroit students frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and standardized test prep for the SAT and ACT. Many students also benefit from tutoring in Michigan-specific assessments and college preparation. Varsity Tutors can connect you with expert tutors in any subject your student needs support with.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific challenges in their coursework. They'll discuss your student's goals—whether it's improving grades, preparing for a Michigan standardized test, or building confidence in a particular subject—and create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures that every session afterward is focused and effective.

Michigan has specific content standards and benchmarks that students must master, and tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with these expectations. Whether your student is working toward Michigan Merit Exam proficiency, preparing for AP exams, or meeting grade-level standards in their Detroit-area school, tutors can align instruction with exactly what's required and help students demonstrate mastery.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, subject area, and your student's specific needs. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets, and you can discuss rates directly when you're matched with a tutor. Many families find that investing in targeted tutoring—especially for critical subjects like math or test prep—pays off in improved grades and academic confidence.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have deep subject-matter expertise and experience working with Michigan students. Tutors understand local school curricula, state standards, and the specific challenges Detroit students face. Whether your student needs help with core academics or test preparation, you'll be matched with someone qualified to support their learning goals.

Simply tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and learning goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a qualified tutor who's a good fit. You can then discuss scheduling, rates, and how you'd like instruction to be delivered. Most families see their students make meaningful progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring.
