Michael

Calculus Tutor • +21 Subjects

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.

Mary

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I'm a senior studying Literature and Creative Writing with a Music minor at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). My interest in tutoring began during my high school years in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I taught guitar lessons and developed curriculums for INNO, an educational summer camp. Since then, I've been developing my academic, artistic, and instructional skills at university, facilitating leadership workshops and first-year dialogue sessions while taking courses in a rigorous liberal arts curriculum. I've been an editor of the NYUAD student creative publication, Airport Road, and I maintain a career as an independent singer/songwriter, often creating music for theater projects both on and off campus. In addition to my sessions through Varsity Tutors, I am currently a peer tutor at the NYUAD writing center, where I work with students from a range of academic disciplines and participate in weekly pedagogical training. Through this work, I have developed a passion for helping students identify and improve their communication skills. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is when I am able to gain insight into the connections between creative and academic writing. I believe that effective storytelling is a central part of all good writing, so I try to help my students recognize both the story they are currently telling and the story they want to tell--and the steps they can take to move a piece from the former to the latter.

Nicole

Calculus Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am passionate about helping students. I believe that we all are learners and teachers. all of us are readers and writers. I have the ability to share my passion for learning with others, and one of my greatest strengths is building relationships with students which is the corner stone to successful learning and teaching. I believe that there are no bad kids or bad students, it's just that we all have different paths and ways of learning, we all have a different pace. As a teacher i strive to acknowledge that and find ways to support all students, adapting to their needs and paths, meeting them where they are at. It is my job to believe in every single student and help them believe in themselves. When I am not teaching or engaging with students, I like to read, walk, hike, travel, explore, work out, watch my favorite shows. I enjoy playing and watching ice hockey, and I try to go home to visit my family in Italy once a year.

Whether your student attends a school in the Southfield Public Schools district or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand Michigan's academic standards and can support their specific coursework and learning goals.

Tutors work with students on Michigan's grade-level expectations and state standards across core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students can address gaps, master challenging concepts, and build the skills needed to succeed on Michigan assessments and in their courses.

Students in Southfield seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for algebra, geometry, and advanced math courses; English and writing support; and test prep for the SAT and ACT. Many students also benefit from tutoring in science courses and subject-specific help like AP or honors-level coursework.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss their academic goals, and identify specific areas where they need support. This personalized approach allows the tutor to create a tailored learning plan that addresses your student's unique needs and helps them make progress from day one.

Southfield's average student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1 means classroom teachers are managing many students at once.
