Throughout my life, I have been thankful for the quality of education I have received. As a tutor, I plan to continue this tradition of excellence in instruction, working diligently to provide my students the best opportunity to succeed in their coursework.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and Oakland University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on American Politics from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and my Masters of Public Administration from Oakland University. Since graduation, I have worked as a healthcare consultant for a number of leading firms, which has afforded me some real world examples that I can use with students. During my graduate studies, I worked as a long term substitute teacher. This is where I developed my passion for teaching and educating. I also have experience tutoring private clients in the Metro Detroit area. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Writing, and Social Studies. In my experience helping struggling students, students need a tutor who is very patient and willing to move at the student's pace. I am a firm believer in the power of education. I think education is critical in helping people maximize their potential. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports, reading, coaching, and blogging.

I studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.I tutor in physics, math, and intro computer science. These subjects can be tough, so understanding what a student understands is important to build off of. I meet student's understanding to take logical steps to understand the next concept.

I graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering. During high school and college, I have had extensive tutoring and teaching experience; during high school, I served as a volunteer tutor through my school's National Honors Society and tutored high school students on Math subjects (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus AB/BC); in college, I was a teaching assistant in a freshman engineering course where I helped students 1:1 and in small groups with MatLab programming, engineering design fundamentals, and other engineering concepts. My favorite subject to tutor is high school math (Algebra 1 to AP Calculus) because I enjoy the challenge of solving problems and applying mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios, making learning both practical and enjoyable. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique concerns and ensuring they have a strong grasp of the fundamentals. I focus on guiding students through problems and supporting their learning accordingly.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you on your path to exceptional learning, and to experiencing wealth of knowledge that you have before you.

I am proud to have a lifelong love of learning, and through my work I aim to guide and instruct others along their own process of education. As an undergraduate student at Yale University, I took a wide range of courses alongside the requirements for my degree program in Music. I also made sure to keep time free to sing in a cappella groups and to play my cello.After college, I had my first experience teaching music, math, and language skills to students at an international school in Italy. This opportunity opened my eyes to the wonderful rewards of tutoring and teaching, and I have not looked back since!Since returning to the United States, I have offered private tutoring focused on test preparation, worked to coordinate music education outreach projects with a non-profit organization, and worked as the director of several musical ensembles. I completed my masters degree in Choral Conducting at the University of Michigan and am currently back at Yale, where I am a doctoral student in conducting.I love working with students to help them to achieve their potential. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had wonderful teachers throughout my life, and I aim to support and encourage my students in the same way!

I am a rising junior at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, majoring in Economics. I love teaching high school mathematics, so please feel free to reach out to me if you need any help with high school math!

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.

I am a molecular biology and ecology double major at the University of Michigan. I love genetics, cell biology, and anything to do with how living organisms interact with the world. I love taking observations that I make in the real world and trying to apply them to biological concepts that I've learned in class!I have tutored lots of people throughout my academic career, including students in grades below me, my own grade, but most importantly, myself. I think the most valuable skill that I could pass along to a student is the ability to become your own tutor by learning strategies to make complicated things seem simpler. I have to do this all the time as a college student and I would love to pass this on to others.I plan on going to graduate school after I am done with undergrad and getting a master's degree in molecular biology and hope to one day be a professor and researcher.

Currently, I am going to grad school at UofM and pursuing a dual degree in Pharmacy and Medicinal Chemistry. I am very passionate about teaching organic chemistry. I am able to speak both Arabic and English fluently. I enjoyed working as a tutor during my undergraduate years and am excited to carry on with this. I feel rewarded when students leave the session with a good understanding. Nothing beats the Ahaa moment and would be very excited to be there in order to make it happen. My job will be to make O Chem simpler for everyone! (Romans 8:28)

I am here to help students study for standardized tests necessary for undergraduate and graduate acceptance. I have years of experience tutoring in ACT and GRE prep for individual lessons and in the GRE Prep Courses. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Engineering with a degree in chemical engineering. I am currently an MBA student at NYU Stern. I enjoy film and music theory, football, basketball, I like to jog, exercise, hike and travel. I have utilized services such as this before and have spent a majority of my time throughout high school and college tutoring students and wish to do the same now for students looking to take undergraduate and graduate level standardized tests.

I am a recent University of Michigan graduate with a Bachelor's in Industrial and Operations Engineering. I enjoy teaching people of all ages, and am particularly strong within SAT/ACT test prep, algebra/geometry/pre-calc, calculus 1, and reading/writing.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan with a dual BA in Spanish and Biological Anthropology. After graduation, I spent a year at Columbia University studying physics, chemistry, and math, and am now pursuing a Masters in Genetic Counseling. My tutoring experience includes helping high school students with Spanish, biology, and SAT prep, as well as mentoring incoming college freshman on organization and study habits. My absolute favorite subject to tutor is SAT, because it's so satisfying to see students who didn't think they could do well suddenly excel once they learn just a handful of strategies. The SAT has the same tricks every time, just in a different form. I try to get students to think like the test maker so they can anticipate these tricks. What concept are they trying to test you on with this question? What's important about this concept? What might they want to make sure you know? I also love tutoring Spanish. I lived in Madrid for 9 months during college, and I relish speaking Spanish any chance I get. I still remember what was confusing to me when I was learning the language, and I'm able to provide students with strategies that worked for me. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy ballet, skiing, central park, and Knicks games (although maybe not this year)!

I am a Tutor because my favorite kind of teaching environment is one-on-one. I find myself genuinely caring about the talents and dreams of whomever I'm working with.I specialize in helping students to develop strong reading, speaking, and writing skills in Spanish and English. I have decades of experience helping students of diverse ages and backgrounds through personal tutoring and mentoring. I am also experienced working with students in summer high school academic camps, adult-education classes, and professional training seminars.In addition to tutoring, I work with Spanish-speaking adults who want to improve their English and computer skills. My years of experience, on university faculties, make me especially good at understanding everything involved in college preparation. This includes application essays, undergraduate-level writing requirements, and graduate-level writing requirements.My degrees were earned at three of Michigan's best universities. I earned my PhD at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I earned my MA at Wayne State University. I earned my BA at Michigan State University.One of my strengths, as a Teacher and Tutor, is that I create innovative and personalized study plans for each students' goals. Your dreams are my guide! My style is casual, fun, and rigorous. I'm going to be working hard, so I hope you will, too. That definitely improves our success speed!

I attended the University of Michigan and graduated in April of 2021. I majored in Biochemistry with minors in Business and Music.I am currently applying to medical school. As such, I'm definitely interested in working with students preparing for the MCAT. I also have a strong background in biology, chemistry/biochemistry/organic chem.I'm also highly competent in math (I took both AP Calculus BC and AB and scored a 5 on both exams).I really enjoy getting to know others and helping them learn based on my knowledge, tips, and experience.

Are you looking for someone who can help you obtain an excellent ACT or SAT score? Does you need help in high school math or science classes? If so, I can help you achieve your goals.My name is Mathew, and I am a recently accepted medical student at the University of Cincinnati. I previously worked as a high school science teacher in Pasadena, Texas for 2 years. I specifically taught 9th grade biology and 10th grade chemistry to over 300 high schoolers. As a classroom teacher, I utilized strategies to create collaborative classroom environments where each student achieved maximal success and learning. I also utilized a variety of differentiated teaching strategies to make this possible. As a teacher, I also had numerous opportunities to tutor students and help them master concepts after class.Before teaching high school science, I had several experiences tutoring middle school and high school students in various subjects. My favorite subject to tutor is middle school and high school math and science. I also have experience preparing students for the SAT, and I performed very highly on my ACT test.My educational background:- 2013 - Bachelor of Science, Neuroscience - University of Michigan- 2016 - Master of Art in Teaching, Secondary Integrated Science - Eastern Michigan University- 2018 - Master of Science in Physiology - University of CincinnatiAs a tutor, I enjoy first learning the goals of my student and then coming up with a plan to achieve success together. I think that each student needs a customized approach and learning plan. For hobbies, I enjoy playing guitar and basketball, and I always enjoy a good movie with friends.Please contact me if you are interested in my tutoring services. I hope to hear from you soon!

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 believe anyone can learn a new concept and remember it for life, not just a test. I view tutoring more as coaching, and believe visual practice is of most importance. I have coached people in most of my math classes in High School and continue to do so at The University of Michigan. I have experience with college students, but also younger audiences as I spent a fun summer teaching ecology at North Star Camp, WI. Teaching is perhaps the best gift people can give in life and it deserves more effort and attention.

I am a math enthusiast, a music artist and a lover of written language. I am here on this earth to learn, grow, overcome challenges and help others to do the same.

I am a current senior at the University of Michigan, pursuing a degree in Cognitive Science with minors in Computer Science and French and Francophone Studies. I have many years of experience working with children of all ages, both in tutoring and mentoring. I have worked as a camp counselor for four years, a teacher's assistant at Rhode Island Tutorial and Educational Services, a peer mentor for incoming high school students, and a tutor for college students. I have always been an eager learner, and I would love to instill this passion in others. As a strong proponent of tutoring, I believe that those who benefit more from a one-on-one learning environment as opposed to a large, classroom setting should be given the attention and encouragement they deserve. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, watching movies, and listening to music. I also love to travel, as one of my goals in life is to visit all 7 continents.

I received my undergraduate degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics. Also, I recently graduated with my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in Applied Physics. I love teaching and helping students grasp concepts. I believe in moving beyond rote memorization to personal mastery and ownership of one's education. I am available to tutor in SAT Math Test prep, Algebra 1-4, Pre-Calulus, and Trigonometry.

My name is James and I am a high school math and science teacher at Arlington High School. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.Working with young people gives me instant feedback and motivates me to match their enthusiasm. It is powerful to me to relate with the students in their personal lives. Further, it is deeply satisfying to guide them as they navigate their academic experiences.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan where I double majored in Biomolecular Science and Economics on a pre-med track. I enjoy working with students as my past teaching experiences have led me to work with all ages. In my free time, I like to follow and play sports and listen to music.

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 in English Literature and International studies, now studying in Pakistan as a final year medical student!

I received my education with the University of Michigan for my undergraduate degree of Biology with a Minor in German and four years later I completed a Masters degree in Cancer Chemical Biology with Rackham Graduate School in Ann Arbor. I am currently working towards a Doctoral Degree within the realms of Cancer Research.However, before I undertook the graduate school lifestyle, I was an English Teacher in Japan teaching kids from ages 7 to 15. It was here where I discovered that I have a latent talent for teaching. Since coming back, I have been wanting to teach once again but within the realms of my own interests; Science and Languages.Specifically I have had immense studies within the fields of Immunology, Virology, Microbiology and recently Research Sciences. To the languages I studied Spanish, German and Japanese.My favorite subjects to teach would have to be Science and Languages. My teaching philosophy and style is a bit different than most conventional teaching. Depending on the student I will bring the material to "their world" and try to bring parallels to how their own personal interests can correlate or help describe the subject at hand.Additionally my main goal is not to teach but to help lead to understanding. If the student truly understands the material at hand the brute force method of pure memorization is not needed.Outside of Academia, I have an interest within video games, nature and the Japanese martial art Aikido. An unusual combination yet, it is through them which enable me to react appropriately to any situation with a calm and curious demeanor in problem solving.To students who are considering my mentorship, I personally guarantee that I will try my best to help you understand and in the event that I do not know the answer I will be sure to follow up on any questions that I cannot answer at that time.The pursuit of knowledge is not an easy task, but I will make it my duty to make it as seamless as possible.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan where I earned my bachelor of science degree in cellular and molecular biology. I chose this major because I am fascinated with how cells in the body interact with each other and the pathways in which they communicate. Originally being pre-med, I applied to medical schools the year after I graduated. Also during this gap year, I taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors.Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as an educator is to help students find excitement in what they are learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is an irreplaceable tool to get them interested in actually learning something, instead of simply "getting by" by cramming the night before. I do my absolute best to provide a positive, fun, engaging experience for students which focuses on their potential to succeed by showing them how much they have already accomplished to give them confidence to tackle new obstacles.Though my passion is biology and I tutor all levels, I am also skilled at English and writing and love to edit and help craft essays. I am also certified to tutor the ACT. When I am not tutoring, I am either singing somewhere, checking in on Michigan Football news, spending time with friends, or out exploring some part of wonderful New York City. Go Blue!

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.

I am a student at the University of Michigan--Ann Arbor studying Computer Science. I love tutoring because it allows me to help other students excel in whatever field they would like to study, it also gives me the chance to grow as a student.

I have degrees in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Secondary Science Education, variously from the University of Toledo and the University of Michigan. I've been teaching and tutoring science for about 20 years, at the high school and the college levels. Subjects I've taught include chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science. In addition, I have co-authored a college general chemistry textbook. My particular joy is in teaching chemistry. Chemistry builds from one topic to another, and seeing students make those leaps that build their knowledge during a session is special. In general, all sciences stack similar building blocks of understanding in this same way.

After graduating with my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me.Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do.I hope you, too, will learn with me.

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan studying Material Science and Engineering. I am very passionate about math and helping people to understand math and its importance even in non-STEM fields. I also have a lot of experience working with students that have learning differences.

I am a second-year student at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and I am in the College of Engineering. I am not exactly sure as to what I want to do after College, but I do know that I would like to do something that involves Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. In High School, I would teach/tutor elementary school students at a tutoring center in Chicago called Ivy Garden. I tutor many High School Math and Science subjects (including AP courses) as well as Math and Science test prep for the ACT. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Physics because they are applicable with many things in your daily life. I am inspired to tutor those who are struggling in Math and Science courses because people are very discouraged while studying these subjects and I feel that, with the proper instruction, not only will people get better at those subjects; but they will become more confident in themselves. I believe that understanding something conceptually is ten times more valuable than knowing how to use an equation and I like using real world examples when I am tutoring. On my free time I enjoy playing NBA 2K and actual basketball.

I believe a teacher models the ideas, skills and behaviors that they wish their students to gain. I believe a teacher with a comprehensive approach to teaching by incorporating multiple styles of learning and technologies can encourage learning and engagement effectively in the classroom. The words below briefly describe what I believe a teacher should seek to cultivate in themselves, so that in turn their students can develop the same qualities in themselves.Knowledge, Curiosity, Literacy, Professionalism, Critical ThinkingCreativity
