Award-Winning Tutors from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Hi there! My name is Bryan Kim-Butler, and I would love to work with you or your child on Varsity Tutors. I have over 7 years total of teaching experience, from the elementary school all the way through to the college level. I started way, way back, when I tutored elementary school kids when I was in high school, and that was around the year 2000. So that means I have been helping people younger than me educationally for over 25 years. My academic background is that I have a Master's in English literature, with a specialization in American literature, from the University of Michigan, a J.D. or a Juris Doctor, also known as a law degree, from Columbia University, and a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Vassar College. So my areas of expertise are mainly in humanities: English, reading, writing, and social studies, including things like American history, law, and civics. My teaching is very student-centered and responsive to a student's own goals and their own needs. That's because I believe that even at a young age, children have their own ways of learning & their own priorities. It's just that adults often don't take the time to listen to them to figure out how best to help them. That's why I love getting to know the students I work with on a one-on-one level. My approach is not one-size-fits-all. I emphasize 3 things, okay? First, critical thinking, second, self-learning, meaning not depending on a teacher to tell you everything, and third, learning the practical steps anyone can take to improve from where they are. One thing I love about helping students and their families is seeing that spark of improvement, when someone who's been struggling realizes that what they need to do is not as hard as they thought, and that they really can do it. I've seen that spark in kids as young as 5 years old, and as old as college students ready to go off to law school, medical school, graduate school, and so on. So, I hope this video gives you a good idea of who I am as an educator, and I hope you're interested in working with me. Just let me know what you might be wondering about and how I might help. Thank you! Bye for now.

I have a Bachelor's in Mathematics, Master's in Special Education and a Doctorate in School Psychology. I am a licensed school psychologist as well as a licensed behavior analyst trained in ABA, behavior therapy and CBT. I was educated at the University of Michigan. I've been in education for well over a decade working with varying levels of learners from elementary to high school as well as special education to general education settings. I believe in sports/exercise, social skills, self-esteem and academia are all connected. Inevitably, one has an impact on the other. I encourage my students to be well-rounded not only for success in school, but ultimately for a successful, happy and fulfilling life.

I have lived all over the country and just moved back to Michigan after four years away. It’s great to be back, especially in time for the fall! I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in sociology in 2006 and again with an MSW (Masters in Social Work) in 2011; Go Blue! I am a social worker with over 10 years of nonprofit experience working with children and youth. I specialize in art and education programming and have worked with kids of all ages in a number of roles: tutor, mentor, nanny, assistant teacher, camp counselor, and program manager. My most recent position was as a Teacher Caregiver for a family in Chicagoland. Among my responsibilities, I provided daily homework help and academic tutoring for three kids ages 5, 9, and 11. Before that, I ran a tutoring and homework help after school program in Seattle for Somali refugees.Now that I’m back in Michigan I’m looking for individual students to tutor in a range of subjects. I’m comfortable with elementary and middle school math, language arts, study and organizational skills, Spanish, general homework help, and ISEE and SSAT prep. I’m also comfortable with ELL/ESL tutoring for all ages and some high school language arts and elective subjects (e.g. psychology). Please inquire for more details. I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and honors in African-American studies. During my undergrad, I tutored high school students in geometry, English, history, and algebra I/II. I also tutored undergraduate students at the University of Michigan in the SuccessConnects program in precalculus and spanish. While I can tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects are math and English courses. I am a natural tutor, and I have helped many of my close friends get through their math courses at the University of Michigan, and I hope I can continue to help as many students as possible. In my spare time, I love to travel, read, dance, choreograph, hang out with my family and friends, and practice yoga.

I am a second year student pursuing a BSE in Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan. I have tutored students of various ages, and my main concern as a tutor is to make sure that the student feels comfortable asking any sort of question and that they always leave the session feeling optimistic rather than defeated. I am a math and science nerd, and while I am very capable of helping in a variety of subjects including English and Spanish, I would much refer to help you solve a difficult math or chemistry problem. I also love helping students prep for the SAT or ACT, as I was once the kids who was obsessed with boosting my score and am happy to teach my techniques to others. I am a very sociable person and outside of academia I love to entertain myself by hanging with my friends, watching sports and binge-ing tv series, blasting rap music, or even talking about conspiracy theories. I know what it is like to feel stuck and like you are incapable of succeeding, but I am a firm believer that if you try hard enough, you can always achieve those seemingly impossible goals, and I am here to help you do just that.

I am currently finishing my dual major in Economics and Political Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I discovered my love for tutoring when I began tutoring Economics for the Comprehensive Studies Program (CSP) at the University. Economics is still my favorite subject to tutor because I get to see students' eyes light up as they realize how the subject can be used to explain society around them. I now also tutor a variety of high school level classes and find equal joy helping students along the same academic journey I set off on years ago.My teaching philosophy is that students learn best when the tutor acts as a guide rather than an additional teacher by allowing the student to consider the idea on their own, and stepping in when the student becomes stumped. When consulting a tutor, a student should consider the tutor as a means of making their study time more effective.

I am passionate about teaching and mentoring. I have been teaching students from middle school to college and covered many different subjects including but not limted to pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, statistics, admision exams such as SAT and GRE, various languages such as Korean and Mandarin.

I'm a college chemistry lecturer and laboratory instructor who enjoys helping students learn! I've taught college courses for the past 5 years as a professor, and the preceding 5 years as a graduate student while obtaining my PhD. During the last 13 years, I've tutored students of all ages and academic backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, math, and music. My experience allows me to help you reach your goals!

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and am pursuing a dual degree in Movement Science and Biopsychology, Cognition and Neuroscience. I hope to go to medical school and become a physician in the future. I have had previous experience working with young kids at daycares, and I love helping others.

Since graduating from the University of Michigan my career has focused on working with students to help them achieve academic success. After completing my undergraduate degree, I spent two years working as a teacher for the Teach for America Americorps program. When my teaching commitment was complete I went on to graduate school and earned an MA from the College of Education at Michigan State University. I now work as an academic advisor for college students. My goal is to ensure every student I work with feels empowered to move towards new academic milestones.

I am a lifelong learner. I received my Bachelor of Science and Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan. I worked for years as an automotive engineer in vehicle development. Years later I made a career change to work full time in the ministry, first as a missionary and later as a church leader in the US. During this time, I went back to school where I received my Ph.D. in Comprehensive Theology from Trinity Theological Seminary. I have been an independent educator for years. I have tutored middle and high school students in mathematics and algebra, College students in Calculus, Physics and the sciences, and adult learners in history, applied theology and sciences as well. I am most passionate in Calculus and Physics because they are fundamental topics that I enjoy exploring and they are foundational for STEM related fields. I provide energy and zeal to all my students and work to inspire them to become better students and lifelong learners.

I have twelve years of experience in the education and social work field(s). In addition to my years as an educator (ELA/English), I have experience doing both, individual and group tutoring; all focusing on writing enhancement, communication, ELA, English, Testing, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Before teaching and working in the social service/work field, I received a BA from the University of Michigan (Psychology/Sociology). I am currently attending Strayer University to obtain a Masters Degree in Business Administration. In addition to my professional and educational background, I have published three books as well; all focusing on relationship building, education, family matters, history, and social matters.I enjoy traveling, reading, writing, and the outdoors.

I'm a student at the University of Michigan studying business and economics. I scored a 34 on the ACT, and along the way I picked up strategies for staying calm under pressure, thinking efficiently, and breaking down tricky questions without overcomplicating them. I like keeping tutoring sessions relaxed, interactive, and focused on actually understanding the material, not just memorizing it. Whether it's test prep or school subjects, I aim to make things click in a way that feels simple and even a little fun. My goal is to help students feel more confident, more capable, and less stressed when they're tackling tough material.

I am a junior studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have experience with preparing for and taking the ACT and SAT, as well as expertise in a variety of high school-level subjects. I am an easygoing person with a lot of patience, and I have experience tutoring peers from my high school, as well as my younger sister. I love helping people understand new concepts and I strive to make material interesting to students, as I believe a vested interest in material can drastically improve a student's understanding and performance.

I am an undergrad at the University of Michigan studying Biomedical Engineering. I have experience tutoring in Math and Science for middle school and high school students. I also have experience with SAT and SAT Subject Tests, notably Biology and Math. I think strategic test prep is a foolproof way to crack standardized tests, and I hope to work with others and help them realize that.

I am a current student at the University of Michigan. I am studying molecular biology in the school of literature, science, and the arts. I will graduate in 2025. I am most passionate about teaching SAT test material, because that was an area that I focused on and improved my own score to reach my goals. I am excited to teach both the english and the math sections. I teach using extensive practice problems and practice tests, because that is what helped me learn best and improve my relevant skills. In my spare time I like to workout, swim at the beach, and surf. I would love to work with you to achieve your goals!

I am a freshman aerospace engineering major at the University of Michigan! I have tutored countless students for over 2 years and enjoy it a lot. I love to tutor math and can help students with anything ranging from basic algebra to calculus 3.

Hi my name is Ankita Chittiprolu, I'm pursuing my bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and I am working towards a pre-pharmacy pathway at the University of Michigan. I'm most passionate teaching Biology and Life Sciences. However, I love teaching math and english as well! I've been tutoring since high school and I love working with other students.

I am a pre-doctoral student who loves to teach! I have had over 5 years of experience teaching students of all ages and am so excited to meet everyone!

I am a Certified K-8 Teacher, graduate of the University of Michigan, School of Education's ELMAC (Master of Art in Education with Elementary Certification) Program. I have acquired over a decade's worth of teaching experience. that have reached as far away as Shanghai, China, where I lived for 3 years. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught Spanish to lower and upper elementary students at several Ann Arbor Public Schools and Kindergarten institutions in the Southeast Michigan area. In addition, I worked as a Substitute Teacher to K-8 students at St. Francis Catholic School in Ann Arbor, South Arbor Academy in Ypsilanti and as a Special Education Substitute Teacher for the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD). I had the opportunity to work at Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences (DAAS) as a 5th Grade Teacher to inner-city students for the 2007-2008 school year where I also initiated and implemented a Spanish after school program. My prior employment experiences not only afforded independent work opportunities, but also effective communication and interaction with people of diverse cultural backgrounds and affiliations, which includes co-workers, colleagues, and community leaders. I am a results-oriented individual with a strong administrative and organizational background, along with quality problem-solving and decision-making abilities and skills. My educational philosophy includes the respect and care of my students by establishing a classroom culture of respect and appreciation for self and others, along with responsibility for own learning and high expectation for all students in a culturally diverse and enriched environment; integration of curriculum; instruction and assessment aligned for maximum student engagement, learning and understanding; and my preparedness with effective lesson plans, which incorporates differentiated instruction designed with each student's zone of proximal development. My students benefit greatly from the infusion of the Spanish culture, language, and perspective as part of their learning experience, along with a worldview inclusiveness and respect of all cultures, because of my unique appreciation and veneration for cultural diversity; my corresponding background and fluency with the Spanish language, including knowledge of both Chinese and French language and culture.

Currently, I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor Campus). I am working towards a Bachelor of Science with a focus on neuroscience as I love biology, psychology, and the brain. However, I have tutored many students during my middle school and high school career in classes and in libraries. Outside of the classroom, I was the committee chair of the National Honor Society Tutoring Committee at my high school, and I primarily focused on high school math and science-related subjects since they were the most interesting to me. These subjects were often the most difficult and most stressful for students, and I wanted to make sure that not only will students learn and understand the material correctly but also feel less stressed about these difficult topics by applying them to more interesting aspects of the student's life. This outlook helps students develop better ways of learning topics in general and helps them grow as a person. In my free time, I love to bike, play the piano, and get sucked into different worlds in fantasy novels.

My personal belief is that every student is capable of learning every topic, each in their own way.

I am a master teacher with over thirty-five years of teaching experience at both the university and secondary level. I hold a B.A. in English, an M.A. in Speech from the University of Michigan, and an M.F.A. in Theatre from the University of California, San Diego. I am also a trained Waldorf high school teacher. I have acted, directed, and produced hundreds of plays and am a published playwright. I am experienced managing training programs for young artists. I love to see students explore their limits, to challenge them to achieve beyond their expectations, and to imagine and create new expressions. I like teaching English, History, Philosophy, Comparative Religion, and Theatre. I believe that the division between the humanities and the sciences is arbitrary: learning depends on observation, attention to detail, and a feel for beauty and truth. I have guided many students, both gifted and remedial, as a teacher and tutor. In addition to loving the outdoors, I also teach Tai Chi and meditation, enjoy gardening, reading, and a good game of chess.

My name is Savon. I'm from Chicago, IL and I am currently in Ann Arbor, MI attending U of M. I've had a passion for teaching since my senior year in high school, and for that reason I am completing my last two semesters in the teacher education program. I love helping students to feel empowered after learning something new, so I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to help students to become better thinkers and learners.

I am a University of Michigan graduate that studied Economics. I enjoy tutoring students in Macro and Microeconomics, as well as Finance, upper level Econ courses and Statistics.

I love helping students learn and really understand the material. I make analogies and relate concepts to everyday life whenever possible. I have a sense of humor and always try to make learning fun. I love working one-on-one with students because I can see what concepts/topics are not understood and help build a strong foundation before moving on to harder topics.I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry and have been tutoring/teaching chemistry for 14 years. I was an instructor of general chemistry at Penn State University for several years before moving to Philadelphia. Over the years, I have garnered many general chemistry textbooks, exam question databanks and homework problems.In addition to tutoring college students all over the U.S. (online and in person), I have tutored high school students in chemistry (regular, honors, AP and IB). I have also worked with adult students who have returned to school.

I am a Flint, MI native who holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Georgia State University (GSU), a Master of Science in Pharmacology from the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor (UMICH), a Master of Science in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and am working on my PhD in Anatomy Education at The Ohio State University (OSU).I have been involved in teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students at both the post-secondary (primarily) and secondary levels for 8-years. While at GSU, I taught Anatomy and Physiology I and II (A&P) labs, I tutored for the TRIO Program (Biology I and II, Anatomy I and II, Advanced Human Physiology, and Biochemistry). Additionally, I served as a supplemental instructor for Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, and Anatomy and Physiology I and II. I also participated in teaching Anatomy and Biology to high school students on the UM-Flint campus during my time at UMICH. While at CWRU, I served as a Full-Time Biology Lecturer at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) teaching A&P and Introduction to Biological Chemistry. Following my time at Tri-C, I served as a Founding Teacher for the newest KIPP DC school Somerset College Prep teaching Statistics, Algebra II, and AP Biology.My experiences have made me a master of learning and my goal is to share the tools of masterful learning with students in hope that they will become more efficient learners, and better advocates for themselves in classrooms at every level.

My name is Andriy and I'm a passionate computer scientist who loves cooking and the outdoors. I'm currently studying as a Junior at the University of Michigan working towards a bachelor's in computer science, and I love tutoring the subject in all forms, from introductory to the college level. Computer science is becoming more and more relevant, and think everyone ought to learn a thing or two about it! Talk to me about travel, biking, video games, or whatever else you're into!

I enjoy helping students because I was one for a long time. I am well acquainted with both the panic of being unprepared and the satisfaction of being prepared for exams. I have a Bachelors in Honors Math and Honors Physics from University of Michigan Ann Arbor and a PhD in Math from Michigan State University. I have experience tutoring in Math and Physics at Michigan State University and University of Michigan. The subjects I tutor are Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Economics. The core of my teaching philosophy is my belief that every student has value and can feel excitement at learning new things. I try to keep applications in mind and view math as a tool to model the real world. My favorite tutoring style is to guide students through problems. The goal is to allow the student to eventually solve problems better by themselves by providing feedback on example problems.

I've been teaching math, physics, and economics from grades 6-12 for the last 15 years. I was certified to teach in Michigan and Illinois, and taught in both states. I have also taken classes in cognitive research, which has helped me understand how to teach most effectively so that students and properly understand and retain the information that they're learning. Because I've taught many different subjects and age groups, I have a broader understanding of teaching and learning than most educators, which helps me find a particular way to best help the individual student.

I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and I play on the Michigan Intercollegiate polo team. I love all animals - especially horses and cats - and I am studying to be a veterinarian.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan and am currently a candidate for a Master in Public Policy degree from Rutgers University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Studies with a focus on International Security and Norms, English Language and Literature, and Spanish. Since graduation, I got married, moved from my hometown in Michigan to a new home in New Jersey, and started tutoring and nannying students full-time while also attending graduate school full-time. I primarily work with children with learning difficulties and health issues that affect their energy and performance level in relation to their academics. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. In working with the older students, I have helped them completely transform their college essays into true stories that have helped gain them admission into their first-choice schools. Conversely, with my younger students with learning disabilities, I have helped them remarkably improve their grades at competitive private schools in Manhattan while reigniting that spark which allows them to enjoy learning once again. I am a firm proponent of education believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students while also showing them that going back to the basics and having fun while doing homework and studying for tests is absolutely possible and necessary in order to succeed in school. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing competitive volleyball, cooking healthy meals and creating new recipes in my kitchen and spending time with my nieces.

I am a graduate student at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I am completing my masters degree in Conservation Ecology. My research topic is agroecology, specifically how carbon and nitrogen ratios in from shade trees in coffee agroecosystems influence ground-dwelling ant communities. My over-arching theme is decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems and I got about answering questions about this in various ways (e.g. ants). At the University of Michigan, I have served as a graduate student instructor in two courses both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Having the opportunity to teach and mentor students at those levels is very exciting. Nevertheless, I love to introduce students all levels of new concepts and ideas. I most enjoy teaching/tutoring concepts of ecology, biology, chemistry, and environmental science. I am also a native Spanish speaker, hence tutoring Spanish lessons comes naturally to me. I am committed to helping move beyond their barriers and excel in their education. When I am not in the laboratory, I enjoy running, hiking and training with my dog.

I am a 23-year retired insurance industry professional with experience in training and instructing licensed sales and service representatives. I am also a substitute K-6 teacher with National Heritage Academies based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I first encountered the need and concept of tutoring while being a student at the University of Michigan. The use of a tutor helped me to get through my most difficult courses. To be able to help others in this regard is truly rewarding.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Biomolecular Science. I am currently a candidate for a Master's in Oral Health Sciences. While I tutor in many different subjects, my favorites are math, science, and English. I want students to love what they are learning. School is supposed to be fun and challenging. I want kids to see that while some subjects might be trickier than others, anything is possible if you just put your mind to it.

Detroit, Michigan is my birthplace and current residence. Before relocating back home in June 2008, I lived in Chicago, Illinois for ten years. My ties to "Chi-town" are abundant, so I return often to teach, freelance, and socialize.My philosophy to teaching has been cultivated through the student-centered approach to learning. The first goal is to create a positive learning environment that will engage our classroom. Thereafter, insight is enhanced by instituting comprehensive instruction, and in-depth dialogue. Last, I believe that encouraging scholarly growth equates to supporting the maturation of critical thinking. Such approach should assist in developing individual scholarly voices, ultimately refined through class discussions, assignments, and personal experience.Professionally, I am a Counselor dedicated to hospice care, bereavement counseling, and leading psycho-educational groups. One of my assignments is to conduct group counseling and instruct a financial accountability curriculum to first-time bad check offenders. This program allows me to work with men and women in three Midwest states: Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. In 8 years, and 119 classes, I have reached 2,944 people. I love my work!!While I accept my call to serve others going through financial, life, or death transition; there is a deeper passion to teach. Through online and classroom environments, my courses include: Philosophy of Ethics, Ethical Issues in Human Service Organizations, Technologies in Human Service Organizations, The Helping Process & Self-Care, and Principles of Health & Wellness. In addition, I am a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, Independent First Aid/CPR Instructor and Family Caregiving Leader through the Southeastern Michigan Red Cross.Living gives me great joy; especially when time is spent with my 2 nephews, 1 niece, and 2 cats (Syren & Kooper). Little people and animals allow me to breathe, and maintain a balanced - purpose driven perspective on life. Away from family, I am working out: Kangoo Jumping, and weather permitting, riding my Trikke.Remember to KISS (Keep It Simple Scholar)...

I graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in 2019 with a double major in Political Science and French and a minor in Translation Studies. Upon graduation, I moved to France on a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship, where I remain currently as a university English teacher. I have experience tutoring students as young as 5 and as old as 40, and I strive to tailor each lesson to individual academic goals and learning styles; subjects I have tutored before include French (beginner to advanced), English for English learners, and SAT/ACT prep. I am also very passionate about helping students through the college application process. As a first-generation college student, my commitment to education stems from my personal understanding of how much a quality, supported education has improved my own life. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me painting, training for a race, or exploring France with my friends.

I am a University of Michigan College of Pharmacy and will be graduating this April with my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. One of the reasons I chose to go into pharmacy school was so that I could make a difference in people???s lives, no matter how big or small. That is also why I have a passion for tutoring, something I have been doing since 2012. I absolutely love seeing a student???s face light up with understanding and seeing him/her improve as time goes by. I think the best way to tutor is to find the root of the issue whether it???s time management, difficulty in understanding the material, or difficulty in applying the material; and then using different strategies to really address that issue in a collaborative manner in order to really help the student improve. As someone currently in graduate school, I have seen my peers struggle with subjects and struggled myself. Through this and my past experiences tutoring, I have come up with many different strategies for learning and ways to address a student???s different learning style as well. During my spare time, I love trying new things, completing jigsaw puzzles (my current challenge is a 2000 piece puzzle!), learning how to sew and make my own clothes, and just being outside and exploring the area.

Hi! My name is Elena and I'm so excited to meet you soon!I've been a Kindergarten teacher for 4 years, I taught English in college at the University of Michigan, and I taught English in Chile, South America, for 1 year. Teaching English in Chile is really where I was inspired to become a full-time teacher, and use that passion to help others. I love meeting new people and learning about their walks of life and culture. I also love to chat, so I have many things ready for us to talk about and learn from one another. I'm a grammar nerd so I'm able to help with your English casually or more formally. I also speak Hebrew and Spanish, so I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language. There's no better way to learn, than to start!
