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 was born in the US Virgin Islands and attended the University of the Virgin Islands, where I tutored students in math, science, computer science, and writing. During my undergraduate studies, I had research experiences where I developed my programming and analysis skills. I continued pursuing these fields of study during my graduate studies at the University of Michigan.

I have a bachelor's degree in General Anthropology from Grinnell College, A master's degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and finally, a doctoral degree in Anthropological Archaeology from the University of Michigan based on archaeological research I conducted in India at the great late medieval/early modern South Indian imperial capital of Vijayanagara in its 16th-century heyday one of the largest cities in the world.Despite the anthropological emphasis of my academic training, however, I have spent much of the past 11 years teaching as an instructor in the History Department at the University of Arkansas, where my teaching activities have focused on global surveys of ancient civilizations and courses on the history and culture of early India. In recent years, I have also extended my reach to the modern era with courses on Modern Imperialism, Colonial India, and most recently, a course on the History of Beer and Brewing.Perhaps the most enjoyable aspects of teaching for me lie in the opportunity to share with students my fascination with investigating the immensely diverse civilizations that humans have created over the millennia and in imparting to students a sense of how we know what we think we know about these early civilizations in a manner that combines the methods and data of both history and archaeology.In my spare time I enjoy reading (both fiction and non-fiction), listening to varied musical genres, playing the trombone, hiking, cycling, cooking South Asian dishes, and home-brewing - the last a hobby that I have pursued for over 30 years as the result of the opportunity to study abroad in England as an undergraduate.

I have a lot of experience in tutoring individuals from the elementary school age all the way up to adults, in subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus. I have previously worked as a tutor with other organizations in both a group and one-on-one tutoring atmosphere. I am patient and can easily identify what pace each student would like to work at. I cater my tutoring to the student's pace so that they get the most out of each session.I love tutoring because I know how important it is. I took tutoring sessions myself when I was in high school to prep for AP and ACT exams. Those sessions really helped me, and that is what inspired me to become a tutor and help others. I also have a huge passion for math. I have loved and excelled at it since elementary school. I'm doing a minor in mathematics at college because I enjoy the subject so much.I try to make sure my students walk away with something from each session. I hold myself to high standards which constantly allows me to grow as a tutor.I am excited to hear from you and help you achieve whatever goals you may have!

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.

I managed large automotive companies and offices while using my skills to speak and write literatures to escalate the needs of the company. I tutored K-12 in English along with SAT preparation, in an after school program, tailoring studies to cater to each student specifically. I modify classwork for the students once I am aware of their hobbies and interest, this makes it easier for students. I find it easier to engage the students, when lessons are interesting and gratifying. My studies in psychology and nursing affords me opportunities to incorporate healthy learning habits and patterns in the students to maintain life long routines. I take interest in developing students and improving their learning abilities to make the most of our time spent together. I am a hard worker and have great discipline paying attention to detail.

I have a very diverse background. My first academic passion was competitive debate. For years I immersed myself in a world of arguments ranging from the politically concrete to the philosophically abstract. Three and a half years ago I had a professor at the University of Michigan who opened up the life changing power of literature and after that I began passionately pursuing language for its beautiful and poetic qualities. Since then, I have finished a degree in English literature as well as spending substantial time abroad. My experiences as a traveler and foreigner have left me astounded at the diversity of ways to cultivate the mind and now I am a regular yoga practitioner and meditator.I find myself using all of the different skills and habits I have learned through those various experiences each day. Knowing the inner workings of reason and argumentation, poetic and literary language, and how to focus and calm the mind all complement one another.Whatever I teach you, it will be a way of thinking. Certainly we will deal with content; one can never learn a process without something to apply it to. Having me as a tutor though will be more valuable than a difference made on the grade for a single assignment. I will help you to see the larger principles at work in whatever you are grappling with.

I feel as though my time tutoring both Michigan athletes and younger students in underprivileged communities will allow me thrive at Varsity Tutors.

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.

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.
