I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate specific evidence in passages you've never seen before. Sreya scored a 36 composite and developed a systematic approach to dual passages and inference questions that cuts through the time pressure. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before they go back to the text.

I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they run out of time or second-guess answer choices. Sophia, who earned a 36 composite and studies English at Yale, teaches a passage-attack strategy — how to identify the question type, locate evidence quickly, and eliminate distractors without rereading entire paragraphs.

I am a current sophomore at Yale University, studying Environmental Engineering and Global Affairs. I spent four years tutoring K-12 students in reading and math, and I believe in the importance of appreciating the process of learning and mastering concepts.

I am a student at the University of Michigan studying pre-med. I am majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in the History of Medicine. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I volunteer as a tutor for the Detroit Educational Society, in which I help underprivileged students in Detroit study for the ACT and SAT. When it comes to the student-tutor relationship, I believe that a tutor's job is to provide a safe place for the student to ask questions and to make mistakes, while the role of the student is to come prepared and be ready to improve.

I am a chemistry/math tutor with hundreds of hours teaching both subjects. What separates me from other tutors is my fantastic attention to the learning styles of different students, and my ability to attune my teaching style to each individual student. I am a big believer in letting students utilize tutoring time in the way they believe best, and I try to make myself a resource more than an instructor, which reinforces good study habits as well as lets me help the student with subject material. I will be attending the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics in the Fall.

I am in the 8-year direct med program at Virginia Commonwealth University. I plan to receive a major in Bioinformatics and a minor in Mathematics. I have a plethora of experience tutoring elementary school students in math and reading as well as high school students in AP Chemistry, ACT, and college admission essays. I am most passionate about helping students learn content, tips, and tricks needed for them to excel on the ACT as well as about helping kids establish a strong foundation for their pre-algebra skills. I hope I have the opportunity to get to know all of you and help you succeed in your endeavors!

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about retrieving specific evidence under a brutal time constraint. Mathew teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts down re-reading time and keeps students anchored to what the question actually asks. His 35 composite reflects someone who's mastered the pacing game across all four sections.

Most ACT Reading mistakes aren't about comprehension — they're about time. Samantha, rated on her 35 composite, teaches a passage-attack strategy that prioritizes locating evidence quickly over reading every word. She drills students on distinguishing between answers that are tempting and answers that are actually supported by the text.

The ACT Reading section isn't really testing how well you read — it's testing how quickly you can locate evidence in dense passages across prose fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science. Krisha, a perfect 36 scorer, teaches a passage-mapping approach that cuts down on re-reading and turns the section's tight timing from an obstacle into something manageable.

I am currently a student at Columbia University studying Biomedical Engineering. Throughout high school, I tutored my peers in math, science, and standardized testing and found that I loved seeing my students passionate about what they are learning. Outside of tutoring, you can find me exploring the outdoors or tasting the newest restaurants in NYC.

I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage, but because they run out of time or misread what the question demands. Ajay, who scored a 34 composite, teaches a deliberate passage-mapping strategy that cuts re-reading time and makes it easier to locate evidence for inference and detail questions.

I am very excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors because it is my belief that everyone has the capability to succeed in school, even if they need a little extra help to get there. Quality education is absolutely essential in making sure a child is prepared for their future career. I love working with students and seeing them triumph over areas they were once struggling with.

The ACT Reading section is really a time-management puzzle: four passages, 35 minutes, and a lot of tempting wrong answers. Nishika teaches a passage-triage strategy that prioritizes where to spend time and how to eliminate distractors quickly — an approach that helped her earn a 35 composite. Her lifelong love of reading makes dissecting prose, social science, and humanities passages second nature.

Most ACT Reading struggles come down to time management — students understand the passages but can't answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. Pratik teaches a passage-mapping technique that identifies the author's argument structure in the first read, so students spend less time hunting for answers and more time confirming them. His own 35 composite came partly from treating this section like a strategy game rather than a literature exam.

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.

I'm a sophomore at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and I'm majoring in Business Administration at the Ross School of Business. I was a member of the peer tutorial service at my high school, Detroit Country Day School. Thank you!

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly locating evidence in dense passages and matching it to answer choices. Jack teaches a strategic approach to each passage type, from prose fiction to natural science, that keeps students from wasting time re-reading. His 33 ACT composite and lifelong love of books make him especially effective at showing how to balance speed with comprehension.

I'm Anya, and I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan who's passionate about sharing my knowledge. I am outgoing and extremely patient, and I want to help you strengthen your weaknesses and enhance your strong suits. Everyone has a different approach to learning new things, and I know how to explain topics from different angles so that they are easier to understand. My favorite subjects to tutor are science, Spanish, and standardized tests, but I can cater to a variety of other areas as well.

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. I am working on my third year in the Bachelors of Business Administration program. Throughout my time in both college and high school I have experienced the frustration and pains of students, whether it be myself or my friends. I have always helped my friends with the subjects they struggled with (Calculus, ACT science, Economics, etc.) because I want to see them succeed. I decided to become a tutor to help others succeed as well. I teach ACT, SAT, Statistics, Economics, Business, Math, English, Environment Science, Reading, Writing, and Essay Editing. I especially enjoy teaching Essay Editing, Reading, and Writing because there is more flexibility and opportunity to add your own style into these subjects. Outside of school I enjoy playing tennis, working out, DJing and cooking.

I am very creative, enthusiastic and hard-working, which I believe to be vital characteristics to bring to a tutoring session.

I am an excellent resource for students of all ages!

The ACT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly identifying what each question is actually asking and knowing where to find the answer in the passage. Alexandra scored a 33 ACT composite and teaches a strategic approach to the four passage types (prose fiction, social science, humanities, natural science) that cuts down on wasted time and second-guessing. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they spend too long re-reading. Griffin, who earned a 33 ACT composite, teaches a passage-mapping technique that lets students locate evidence for specific questions without hunting through every paragraph. It's a method built on the close-reading habits he developed studying political theory and policy texts.

The ACT Reading section is really a speed-and-strategy test disguised as a reading test, and Eva tackles it that way. She teaches students how to identify question types — detail retrieval, inference, author's purpose — and match each one to a specific technique for finding the answer quickly. Her 35 ACT composite and voracious reading habit back up the approach.

I am a very strong writer, communicator, and a huge science geek. I've also spent years coaching elementary and middle school students in various sports, and have found fulfillment and success working with all age ranges.

I'm Gurbani, and I am a current fourth-year medical student that would love to give back to other students and help them get into a position like I am today.

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. Maansi teaches an active annotation method that locks in main ideas and argument structure on the first pass, so students can answer detail and inference questions without hunting through paragraphs. She earned a 33 composite by treating each section as its own strategic puzzle.

Most ACT Reading struggles come down to time, not comprehension — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading. Alec teaches a passage-mapping technique that cuts through dense prose quickly, letting students lock in answers with confidence. His own 34 composite came partly from nailing this section's pacing.

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.

I'm a recent graduate from Reed College where I majored in Political science with additional concentrations in environmental science, sociology, philosophy, and 3D art.

I am currently a freshman studying business at the University of Michigan. I love Ann Arbor, but my first home is Chicago! I enjoy a lot of subjects but my favorites are economics and math, and more recently I have enjoyed programming. I hope I can help you to the best of my ability!

I am a current Senior at the University of Michigan studying Financial Mathematics. I have tutored professionally for 2 years as well as independently for 3 years. I am tutoring math as well as basic C++. My teaching philosophy is to teach you how to learn rather than give you the answer. Outside of tutoring I love snowboarding, traveling, photography, and reading.

I am a lifelong learner interested in inspiring others to cultivate a similar drive. I look forward to meeting with you!

I am a senior at the University of Michigan, in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. As a student, I have a well-rounded academic history with interest in a range of different subject areas including: history, English, writing, math, science, and computer skills. My goal as a tutor is to help you learn the material and have some fun while doing it. As such, I am flexible with schedules and platforms (online vs in-person) and am available Monday-Friday afternoon/ evenings and possibly some weekend times upon request\*. Furthermore, I am also flexible with content/styles of sessions and can change the focus or style (ie: content review, homework help, general conceptual lectures, etc) accordingly to meet individual needs. Outside of academia I enjoy camping, hiking, reading (books and science papers), playing video games, and watching sports (basketball and football). I also have experience in assisting people with "mental blocks", testing anxiety, and related feelings of academic failure. I am open to sharing both my personal experience through my academic journey as well as hearing yours and offering advice if so desired. At the end of the day, I love to learn and it brings me happiness to be able to help others have that same feeling of success in academics. Whether you need more lecturing, problem solving help, mentoring, etc. I will do my best to cater to your specific learning needs. I look forward to working with you!

I'm your girl! I majored in Biochemistry at the University of Michigan and am looking to help any students in need of assistance.

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.
