I am a current Dental Student at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry (UMSOD) and a graduate of Michigan State University (MSU). I received Bachelor of Science With a Major in Human Biology and a Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. While studying at MSU, I tutored many kids on a platform called Learn To Be in subjects such as reading, writing, math, and sciences. My main passion is teaching the sciences such as Biology/Physiology/Organic Chemistry and in Math (Algebra, Geometry).

Hello, my name is Shobhna and I am an incoming freshman at Michigan State University! I started tutoring elementary kids in my neighborhood by helping them understand the basics of Math and English. Further exposure to tutoring was through my high school's National Honors Society chapter (NHS). Our chapter's mission was to provide underprivileged members of society care packages with medical and hygiene supplies at homeless shelters and tutor students who had minimal access to academic help outside school. In NHS, I tutored kids in Math, English, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. Not only did I enjoy teaching these subjects, but I also completed these classes with High Honors. Since graduating high school, I'm further motivated to minimize the disparities in education among disadvantaged communities. To add, I want to be able to tutor individuals from various backgrounds to minimize the academic difficulties that students including myself face. As a student who struggled with seeking additional resources when I found lessons in school hard, becoming a tutor allows me to help other students by connecting with them and learning the best ways they learn. With that in mind, I can structure the best method to shape complex lessons into simpler explanations to make it easier for the student to understand and allow them to apply their knowledge to excel in class. Together we can learn in the best way possible!

Greetings from Gainesville, Florida which is home to the famous University of Florida. I possess a current professional teaching license from the Florida Department of Education in K-12 Reading, K-12 ESOL/ESL, and K-6 Elementary Education, and my teaching specialties are English, reading comprehension, and writing including SAT and ACT preparation. I taught grades 7-12 for 12 years in Florida using Achieve 3000 for the FCAT reading assessment and Read 180 for struggling readers. I use online fiction and nonfiction articles, SAT and TOEFL exam preparation booklets, and various websites which allow me to teach reading, comprehension, writing, and speaking better to my students. I also taught elementary school, all subjects, overseas for four years in the Middle East and Germany. I currently tutor several Chinese students online in English speaking, reading, and writing and also adults in conversational English at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. I hope to work with you soon! Thank you for reading and best wishes. Regards, Maria

I am passionate about helping you learn and become your best self. I have worked with students in the past and thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of them and, I hope, they enjoyed working with me as well! I can tutor anything in math and coding as well.

By education I am an organic chemist with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, Organic Chemical Technology, and a PhD degree in Organic Chemistry. Chemistry is both my passion and my career, always thinking of creating new materials and solving intellectually challenging problems. From bridgehead radicals with exceptional persistence and absurdly twisted aromatics, to optical polymers for color filters or brightness enhancement films, thermo-responsive surfaces harvesting cell sheets, biomaterials that enhance human mesenchymal stem cells growth or guide progression of wound healing, the research I have worked on probed theories of bonding, tested structure-activity relationships, scouting innovation and invented new things. The thought that one could fathom and control reactions of molecules swirling in a round-bottom flask, the interplay between molecular structure and reactivity of molecules, where theory and experimental rigor must work together to explain or predict fundamental mechanistic pathways and chemical behaviors, is intriguing and fascinating. Teaching has also been a part of my career early on, as merit teaching assistant in graduate school, as a young assistant professor, or a scientist mentoring undergraduate students during their summer internships. Teaching has its own rewards; the thrill of shaping young bright minds into future scientists is exhilarating. Throughout my career I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities to teach and mentor. There is nothing more powerful than knowledge and education, most important tools that can change one's life. My undergraduate interns went on to graduate school, medical school, and ultimately embarked on successful careers in the industry or academia. I am a proponent of learning with an emphasis on understanding and critical thinking, through questions and by breaking down complex information into simple, easy to understand concepts. With a results-driven teaching philosophy, I would welcome the opportunity to share with you my knowledge and understanding of chemistry, and to help you appreciate and share in the excitement of looking for answers and solving difficult problems. Your success would be my reward and motivation.

Hello, my name is Gaylin. I am currently a Dyslexia Teacher with Fort Bend ISD. I have been a first and second-grade teacher also. I love what I do. I love to develop hands-on lessons with effective strategies to help my students grow and become independent learners. I have been a ELAR and Math tutor for kindergarten through fourth grade. I like to help my students develop ways to become independent thinkers. English Language Arts is my passion.I am originally from Michigan, lived in Las Vegas for a few years, Dallas for 5 years and now call Rosenberg, Tx home.

My name is Zeinab, but I often go by Rose. I'm currently a travelling wildlife biologist and I am extremely passionate about my work, but have always had a side passion for teaching. As a lover of both academics and field work I take every opportunity I can to teach when not working my main profession, and I found that substitute teaching and tutoring fills the void while allowing me to continue my research during the busy seasons.I like to think I have a well-rounded education, especially in mathematics, language, and biology, and a reasonable teaching background. Not only have I been a tutor my whole adult life but I have worked with both children and adults in an academic setting for many years.Along with general teaching experience, I do possess about 4 years worth of experience as a substitute teacher in many districts in Michigan, and about 2 years as a professional tutor. I was quite well liked by both the staff and students, and truly enjoyed my time there.With my transcripts and resume I hope you find me a suitable candidate to teach with you!

My intention is to engage students as fully as possible through a variety of activities, always trying for 80% student production, 20% teacher talk. I get to know students, their interests, and why they want to study English more. Then I build lessons to meet their goals. I have been teaching English for over 25 years, both in university programs and language schools. What I love about tutoring is helping students meet their goals by customizing lessons.

Teaching is about facilitating a process of discovery. In addition to tutoring, I work as a coach, because I want my contributions to the world to be about helping people excel and achieve whatever they are focusing on. As a Spanish tutor, I want you to grow your vocabulary and learn to use new grammar concepts. More than that, I want you to be able to express yourself, talk about the things that matter to you, and understand the worldview that comes with the Spanish language.

I have dedicated my professional life to education. It gives me great satisfaction to see ideas and concepts suddenly click for students. I am passionate about education as a pathway to new opportunities and economic success.I attended the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in sociology, minoring in psychology. I then attended Michigan State University, where I received the master's and doctoral degrees in sociology. My areas of interest included Latin American societies and so I learned Spanish as well. I have three times had teaching assignments in Central America. I worked for many years as a full-time professor and academic administrator; I have since retired but continue to teach social sciences courses on a part-time basis. I have worked extensively with students on individual projects and have served as a mentor to many students. I enjoy working with students at the high school and college levels and have had considerable experience working with adult students.In my leisure time I like to watch movies, to read, garden and visit friends and family members.

I am an undergraduate student at Michigan State University. My major is Human biology, which I will use to attend dental school, then further my education to specialize in orthodontics. I am a ULA for MSUs general chemistry course. Being tutored has helped my learning, grades, and confidence tremendously, which I believe was pivotal for my success. The feeling I have while being tutored is a feeling I would love to provide for other students. I'm passionate about tutoring because I've seen what it has done for me, and it would bring me immense joy to be able to help others the way I was helped. I am most excited to help students learn Chemistry, English, and basic Spanish. Education is extremely important to me as learning is something I will never stop doing. I believe all knowledge should be shared, so here I am to share all I know!

I received my PhD and Masters from Ohio State University and my Bachelors from Michigan State University all in mathematics. I have worked as a professor for 14 years teaching across the standard undergraduate mathematics curriculum. I am passionate about helping people learn math and really love to help them make connections between topics and help them to succeed in their studies.

Since the pandemic, I have taught English as a Second Language online to adults. I am a certified TEFOL instructor.Prior to this, I worked with autistic children using Applied Behavior Analysis during therapy sessions to address communication and social interaction as well as developing good and domestic skills.Apart from teaching, my professional background has been in managing cases for social service programs and volunteering abroad as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Grenada and El Salvador on youth development and disaster preparedness projects.I have a B.A. in Social Relations from Michigan State University and an M.A. from the School for International Training in Sustainable Development.Teaching English is a subject that I enjoy immensely. I also enjoy teaching reading, writing, and basic mathematics. I can also help students better understand American history and social studies.Tutoring in small groups or individually has been a comfort for me over the past 5 years.

I graduated with honors from Michigan State University in 2006, receiving a BA in History with cognates in Math and Physics. I had the opportunity to travel extensively through western Europe as an undergraduate student, and I participated in a semester-long study abroad program in the United Kingdom. These experiences led me to pursue graduate studies abroad in Ireland, and I received my MA in History from University College, Cork in 2007. While preparing my applications to doctoral programs in the U.S. and Canada, I had the opportunity to work as a long-term substitute teacher, teaching Algebra at an alternative high school in Flint, MI. In the summer of 2008 I was asked by the same high school to stay on for their summer school program, where I taught 6-8th grade math. I took up a graduate scholarship with the Department of History at the University of Toronto the next autumn. I passed my comprehensive exams on schedule in May of 2010, and began the long, arduous, but rewarding process of researching for my dissertation. I have taught at both the secondary and college levels, and I have taught a variety of subjects and skills from math to history, and from critical reading and writing to the basics of footnoting and compiling bibliographies . These teaching opportunities have provided me with considerable experience in planning, organizing and presenting educational programming. They have also given me the opportunity to guide, and to work closely with young scholars and learners from a variety of backgrounds. I firmly believe that the importance of education as well as the key to a successful academic career is the ability to learn 'how to learn'. In other words, rather than simply memorizing and demonstrating content, I believe that recognizing and mastering one's own unique process(es) of learning is the most important outcome of learning. For this reason, I try not only to present learning as a challenging but fun exercise, but also as an exploration of each student's strengths, interests and capabilities. Apart from my continued fascination with all things 'history', I enjoy reading (especially satire), traveling (especially on trains), and watching (but never performing!) stand-up comedy.

I first gained a love for tutoring while being a teaching assistant in college. I then became a tutor for the athletics department for physics, math, and economics. Most of my previous experience is with college students, but I'd love to tutor all ages. I enjoy helping students gain confidence in their material whether that be through test prep or homework review!

I graduated with an Honors B.S. in Psychology from Michigan State University and my M.A. in Experimental Psychology from University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I've taught college courses---Research Methods & Statistics, Intro to Psychology, and Cognitive Psychology---for over 10 years at multiple universities (Wake Forest University, Elon University, and University of North Carolina at Greensboro). One major advantage to having a background in Cognitive Psychology is that it allows me to use research-proven strategies effectively to help students learn. Although I love working with students in any context, my favorite topics are statistics and psychology because I love instilling my passion for those subjects in students. In my spare time, I enjoy Pilates, riding my bike, and spending time with my family.

I have been teaching mathematics for 29 years. I have a major in mathematics and a minor in physical science. I am endorsed to teach both math and science. I went to Michigan State University for my BS and to Western Michigan University for my MS.

Joshua Gavagan is a 2019 graduate of Michigan State University's Actuarial Science program with a minor in Mathematics, a degree he earned with honors. In his college years, Josh worked as an undergraduate learning assistant (ULA) for the MSU Mathematics Department, leading recitation sections, grading coursework and exams, and providing tutoring services to students in the Mathematics Learning Center in subjects from College Algebra through Multivariate Calculus. In his senior year, he contributed to undergraduate research in the discipline of reinsurance, a paper that was published in the Scandinavian Actuarial Journal in 2022. Josh's professional background is in the actuarial profession within the property & casualty insurance industry. His work experience includes performing complex pricing, liability estimation, and competitive market analyses to inform strategic decision-makers, as well as product development and regulatory compliance efforts (namely, in the wake of the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance reform legislation of 2019). Josh tutors students in a variety of disciplines. While his strongest subjects are mathematics, probability & statistics, finance, economics, and computer programming, Josh also shares his knowledge of the humanities in the subjects of composition, history, literature, philosophy, and politics. Further, his professional experiences have provided him hands-on application of a variety of computational softwares, including Python, R, SAS, Tableau, and Microsoft Office Suite (incl. Excel and Access with VBA), among others, to solve challenging problems. Still, his favorite subject to tutor in is and always has been mathematics. Josh's pedagogical philosophy is one which embraces the Socratic method. Whether his is working with one student or a room of thirty, and whether or not the focus is on a quantitative subject matter, Josh sees learners thrive most in an environment where on-topic discussion among ALL participants is encouraged. Outside of his capacities as an insurance professional and as a tutor, Josh is an avid reader, and enjoys learning to play music (piano and guitar), watching film, following the MSU football team, and spending time with his family and his feline friend.

I am a 5th grade teacher at Palm Lane Elementary. I have been working with children since I was 16 and have been teaching for 4 years. I am originally from Chicago and completed my bachelor degree at Michigan State University. I majored in Education and minored in ESL and English. I also have a specialization in urban education and have completed almost half of my masters degree through MSU. I love working with students and helping them achieve more then they thought they could. I love tutoring students in reading because I have a huge passion for it. I believe that every child can be a reader they have just not found the right book. I have traveled all around the world and love to bring those experiences in with my teaching so that the child can be shown other worlds and cultures. I can speak conversationally in Spanish to help with subject matter when needed. I push students to hit my high expectations and will make learning a fun but knowledgable experience.

I graduate in 2013 from Michigan State University with a major in Psychology. After earning my degree I spent the next two years in Canton, MS as a algebra/geometry teacher with Teach For America. During my experience as a teacher and coach I have logged countless hours after school preparing students for the ACT and various math courses. In my free time I love to play soccer, basketball, hike, and go camping. I strongly believe that every child has the ability to do great things, and with our support and high expectations we can expect to see results.

Hi, I'm Tanish. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence, think critically, and truly understand the material rather than just memorize it. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, simple steps and tailoring my approach to each student's learning style. Whether you're preparing for exams, strengthening fundamentals, or aiming for top performance, I'm committed to making our sessions productive, engaging, and results driven. I look forward to helping you reach your goal

Hey! I'm hoping to use my knowledge of what schools are testing/teaching to help you learn exactly what you need to know! Math is hard, teachers and professors are confusing, and I would love to help you get over that barrier. I earned my undergraduate degree in mathematics at GVSU where I put in over 1000 hours tutoring. I also earned my masters degree in mathematics with Michigan State University where I taught 11 classes and helped make the test/exams going into classrooms right now. Top expert for teaching: College Algebra, Trig, Calculus 1-3, Abstract Math Courses, High School Math, Middle School Math Expert for: College Physics 1 and 2, Python Coding

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from Michigan Technological University, I bring over 25 years of tutoring and classroom experience in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus AB. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and confidence in my students. I strive to connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications, making learning relevant and engaging. I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their academic goals, and I find joy in witnessing their growth and success.

I graduated from Michigan State University (Go green!) with my BA in History. I studied mostly American History while there. When I was in eighth grade, I had an amazing Social Studies teacher who made it so fun and interesting. She was incredibly inspirational and started my passion for the subject. I also had some really impactful professors in college who grew my love for the subject as well. I have been known to bring up my African American Women's History class from college because it was so eye opening and inspirational. I know history can be one of the more boring subjects, and so my goal is to make it fun and invigorating for students. There are so many amazing and crazy stories that can be found in the past. I have a habit of sharing parody videos and funny images on topics because I feel like they really help the information stick better. I try to involve all different types of learning styles by using videos and songs if applicable. I have visual presentations I use when going over material that students find confusing. I also share those with students so they can use them when studying. While I would feel most comfortable helping students American History, I am not afraid to dust off my skills when it comes to European or World History. When I'm not tutoring, I love spending time with my family, playing piano, watching movies and crafting.

Hello! I am a young professional working for an automotive company in the Ann Arbor, MI area. I have an engineering degree from Michigan State University and miss being in the classroom. I hope to get my education fix being your tutor!

Hello! I am a current sophomore studying Spanish Education at Michigan State University. I am driven to create learning environments that spark growth, confidence, and positive change in students and their communities. I'm from Mexico, so being from Mexico fuels my passion for teaching others about my language and the rich culture behind it.

I discovered the joy of teaching and helping others when I was in school and working with classmates on the same material. I've found that the material is only part of the learning process. Attending the same classes allowed me to understand the classroom context and help classmates navigate confusing lessons as well as homework and exams. I have successfully taken on this role from elementary to graduate school. Most of the time I did not have an official position as a tutor, but I greatly enjoyed being in an optimal position to set up others for success.I most enjoy math, probability, and statistics because they give you tools that allow you to solve technical problems all by yourself. For example, I build a tool in Excel to give me the odds that I would get a desired card from a card pool in the online card game called Hearthstone. I graduated Michigan State with a bachelor's in statistics and a Master's in Business Analytics to learn how to apply statistics to real world problems.I have had almost all A's throughout my entire academic career. I attribute my success to more than natural ability. I've found that being willing to ask questions to classmates and teachers, putting more time and effort into subjects and lessons that are most challenging, treating each class/teacher as a separate challenge, and breaking down processes are all incredibly important. I think of a new class as a separate game that needs to be understood and respected. Having this flexibility will enable you to take the key steps that will optimize your performance.When I consider artistic performance such as my piano playing and dancing, I see how breaking it down is helpful in a similar way. I have to spend most of the time working on the hard parts and then integrating them into the rest of the piece. In school, the performance could be solving an algebraic equation. There could be an element like factoring that is hard and open ended. Putting the most time and effort into factoring and then successfully working through the whole problem is just like perfect practice leading to a flawless performance.

Hi, I'm Nikita! I am 20 years old and am studying supply chain management at Michigan State University. I'm also minoring in Environmental Science with a focus on sustainability. I have been tutoring for 4 years and love getting to know students. A fun fact about me is I was once a tutee with Varsity Tutors!

Hello, my name is Mason! I studied for my bachelor's degree in Michigan State University, and previously I did college level classes during secondary school. I am available for 1-on-1 appointments concerning North American History, European History, and the Ukrainian and Russian languages. Currently I am a Master's Student studying English linguistics at FSU Jena, with a strong focus on comparative linguistics and an aim at improving my teaching techniques.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University. I received a Master's degree in Education with a focus in Instructional Technology. I have over 10 years of professional experience in Information Technology, I am an expert in technical training and technical writing. Outside of technology, my passion is Education. I am a published author and I come from a family of educators and helping others learn is very fulfilling for me. Literacy and reading is one of my core values for an improved quality of life. I like to make learning easy and fun! This year, I did volunteer work in Florida to help elementary students with mental health, self esteem and resiliency which are key to a healthy mindset. In my spare time, I love to travel the world. I launched an online business in 2019 and marketed my books and products in Europe.

I have been involved in education for over 15 years, first in outdoor education in California, teaching science through hands-on experiences like snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. In addition, I had the chance to travel as an international expedition guide in Central American and Africa with high school students, with a focus on history, anthropology, writing, and sociology. Five years ago I became a middle school classroom teacher in San Francisco, CA, specializing in English and history. I spent the last two years teaching overseas in Lisbon, Portugal, working with diverse students from around the world.My teaching credentials in both elementary education, and secondary English and Social Sciences, coupled with my enthusiasm and dedication for working with young people, make me a very understanding, flexible and reliable tutor. I enjoy getting to know my students interests, their strengths, and the things that are a challenge. I understand that not all students learn the same way, and I emphasize this in my teaching. Learning is amazing, difficult, and a rewarding adventure. I hope I can help you on your path to new understanding, and appreciation for your own successes.

Hello! I am a freshman at Michigan State University with a major in Business and Finance. As a student, I have always liked to challenge myself intellectually and learn subjects that are beyond my comprehension. I have a wide variety of teaching experience ranging from an academic team coach for elementary school kids, a volunteer math instructor, a private guitar tutor, and so on. My joy of teaching has led me to impact so many young lives at only 18 years old and I hope to continue doing so. My teaching style isn't a cook-cutter style as I believe every student is unique and individual and deserve a comprehensive analysis before the teaching begins.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with minors in Biology and History. As a classroom teacher, I taught grades 5-8 with an emphasis in the Sciences. As a tutor, I love that I have the chance to give a student the undivided attention that they are often unable to receive in a busy classroom. My goal as a tutor is to help students take ownership over their own learning and to become more resilient learners.

I have my Bachelor's in Accounting from Michigan State University, and my Master's in Accounting from Florida Atlantic University. I enjoy working with college students and want to share my Accounting and Business knowledge with future generations. I have been tutoring College students in Accounting for almost 2 years privately.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University (BA: History, International Relations, Social Relations, and Political Theory), The University of Strathclyde (MSc: Historical Studies), and Central Michigan University (MA and ABD: History). I have taught college (history and honors writing) and test prep for the past fourteen years. I have also worked as a tutor, book editor, author (on test prep), game-based-learning instructor, and standardized test designer and scorer during these years. While I teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Writing, and Test Prep. While I do not have formal training in teaching either non-traditional or alternative learners, I have been successful in helping students of all backgrounds achieve academic success.

I'm a third-year student at Michigan State University, studying Chemical Engineering. Helping others learn is something I'm really passionate about because I know what it's like to struggle in school without much support. Over time, I've picked up some tricks that helped me understand things better, and I love sharing those with people. My experience with teaching has been great, especially when working with students who have learning disabilities. I've learned how to explain things in different ways, like talking things through, using visual aids, or breaking down why something works the way it does. These methods help me connect with students and make sure they get what they need to succeed. While I offer support across a range of subjects, my true passion lies in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Mathematics. I find particular joy in tutoring Organic Chemistry, a subject often perceived as daunting. By shifting the focus from rote memorization to deep comprehension, I aim to reveal the inherent excitement and logic within Organic Chemistry, making it an engaging and enjoyable pursuit for my students. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, singing, and hanging out with friends. These things keep me balanced and happy.

I spent twenty-five years building relationships with students; I just happened to teach English. Without that relationship, there is no trust, no confidence, and no inclination to change or grow. Students must have faith in us and believe in our faith in them. Thirty years ago, I left a career in the film business to teach because I needed a career that I felt mattered. One that was important. And working with young people is important. It was the best professional choice I ever made.

I have an MD and an MPH in Epidemiology with a strong background in biology, anatomy, and physiology. I enjoy helping students break down complex concepts into clear, understandable ideas and supporting them as they build confidence in their science studies.

Aside from being an avid scholar, I am a world traveler and enjoy trying new things! I also love to run, draw, read, and cook, either with friends or simply by myself. I stay in shape both mentally and physically: I am constantly training to be my best. Whenever the opportunity arises to help elevate someone, I take it. Helping a student reach their goals is equally as rewarding for my student and myself.
