Matthew
BA University of Notre Dame
3+ Years Tutoring

I am an incoming honors mathematics major at the University of Notre Dame. I've tutored students in middle school math, SAT reading/writing/math, and college physics. Coming from a larger family, I always had a support system of older siblings that were there if I had any questions about school. Now, I hope to be that person for any student looking for help, whether that student's questions arise from learning for school or for fun. My favorite subject to teach is SAT prep; I improved my score quite a bit with studying, so I know it's possible for you too! I'm also a firm believer in "brain breaks" within studying to give a couple minutes of mental stimulation before and after plunging into tougher material. Outside of my education, I use any spare time I can find to run for track (400m/800m) and play board games with family and friends.

2+ Years Tutoring

I have a strong commitment to fostering love of learning, and believe that I have the tools to help any student learn. If something does not work one way, I will find another way so that the student feels empowered, able, and successful, every time. I have taught in traditional classroom settings, as well as one-on-one in person, and by Zoom. I enjoy getting to know my students personally, the more diverse the better, as I feel I learn just as much from my students as they learn from me. I possess good communication skills, and have great patience especially when identifying challenging tasks. I am committed to creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. I will never reprimand or make my student feel anything but supported, and my wish is to help my student improve in their academic performance, but also to foster a lifelong love of learning in them. I hope to have the privilege of passing along my knowledge to open and curious minds, as well as helping those who struggle feel more confident and able on their educational journey.

Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

I am a current undergraduate at the University of Michigan. I am a Biochemistry major and Philosophy minor, with years of experience tutoring students. Through high school, I tutored kids in the ACT, math, science, literature, and debate. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, as I have taken Chemistry Honors, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry(1 and 2). I believe that tutoring is a two way street, with the student learning about the material, but the teacher learning about how the student interacts with the material. Due to this, I am a very hands-on tutor who is always available for a text/call outside of class. Outside of academia, I am a singer and have been for 13 years now - a choir singer for 7 years and now in a premier acapella group at the University of Michigan.

I'm a college student attending the University of Michigan and I'm majoring in chemistry and computer science. I have two years of extensive experience tutoring high schoolers in chemistry and all subjects of the SAT and ACT. I can also say that I understand completely how difficult the process of test prep and high school chemistry can be because I recently survived the whole process myself having taken IB chem and the ACT/SAT in the last 1-2 years and studying and prepping extensively for them. That being said, I'm always super eager not just to tutor students in those subjects, but also to offer the best advice and guidance I can in tackling those challenges as a high schooler and as someone planning for college. I believe it's super important as a tutor not just to spoon-feed answers but to teach how to problem-solve, so I take care to solidify our understanding of the methods to approach a problem. Most of all, I try to be as flexible and communicative as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Holland's 6 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends school in Holland Public Schools, West Ottawa, Zeeland, Hamilton, Saugatuck, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands Michigan's educational standards and local curriculum expectations.

Michigan's M-STEP assessments and grade-level standards require students to master specific competencies in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target your student's specific learning gaps and reinforce concepts aligned with Michigan standards at their own pace—something that's harder to achieve in classrooms with the 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio typical in Holland schools.

During the initial session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's struggling with algebra, preparing for the SAT, or catching up in a core subject. This diagnostic approach helps the tutor create a personalized plan that addresses your student's unique needs and goals, rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Holland students frequently seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts and writing, science (biology and chemistry), and standardized test preparation. We also work with students on foundational reading skills, study habits, and executive functioning—areas that significantly impact success across all subjects in Holland's schools.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find an arrangement that fits their needs. Many Holland families find that even one or two sessions per week can make a meaningful difference in their student's confidence and grades, so you can start small and adjust as needed.

Absolutely. Tutors work with Holland students on M-STEP preparation, ACT readiness (national average ~21), SAT prep (national average ~1050), and AP exams. Personalized instruction is especially effective for test prep because tutors can focus on your student's specific weak areas rather than covering material they've already mastered.

We consider your student's subject needs, learning style, grade level, and goals when connecting them with a tutor. If the match isn't working after a session or two, we can connect your student with someone else—the goal is finding a tutor who understands how your student learns best and can build their confidence.

Most families can get matched with a tutor and schedule a first session within a few days. Whether your student needs immediate help before an exam or wants to build stronger foundations throughout the school year, we work to connect you with someone available to meet your timeline.
