Hi! My aim is not just to teach your child how to "do" the work, but to also help them embrace the concepts as it relates to the world around them. Yes, I know that sounds lofty and sometimes you might be happy with just a better grade or test score. My belief is that if you understand "why" you are learning something (beyond the short term gratification) it makes the work and process of learning easier and more enjoyable. The goal of this approach is to enable the student to reach the measured (i.e. grades and test scores) levels of success faster and continue to want to learn going forward.A little about me: I am a graduate of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and have a MBA from the Zicklin School of Business. I spent 17 years in advertising rising to the position of Executive Vice President of Account Planning (Strategic Planning). The part of loved most about my job was mentoring young members of my team and teaching my clients how to better connect with consumers. Thus I decided to shift my career to education. That of course is where tutoring came in. My specialties are math and business and I'm driven by helping and witnessing young people have those moments when they discover learning doesn't have to "suck."

I enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds.My tutoring style emphasizes identifying and building upon student strengths, adapting my methods and explanations to best meet the needs of individual students. I enjoy helping students develop specific skills and meet their immediate goals, but I love helping students experience joy in learning.

Hi! I'm Kyna (Keena), I am a passionate literacy educator and coach with over 15 years of experience helping children become confident, joyful readers and writers. I've worked as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and literacy leader, and my heart has always been centered on helping kids grow and helping families feel supported along the way. I've also helped design literacy programs that led to every K2 classroom in participating schools improving student reading proficiency. But beyond the titles and data, here's what matters most: - I believe every child can learn to read with the right support. - I specialize in early literacy, foundational reading skills, and building strong comprehension. - I create warm, engaging sessions where students feel safe to try, make mistakes, and grow. As a long-time, experienced educator, I understand that each child learns differently. Whether your child needs help with phonics, fluency, comprehension, writing, or just building confidence, I provide personalized instruction that meets them right where they are. Parents can expect: - Clear communication about goals and progress - Structured, research-based reading strategies - Encouraging, positive support - Real growth you can see and celebrate My goal is not just to improve reading skills, it's to help children see themselves as capable, successful learners. I look forward to partnering with your family!

Hello! My name is Jason and I am a lifelong learner interested in inspiring others to cultivate a similar drive. I look forward to meeting with you!

I'm a motivated student at the University of Michigan with a strong passion for language learning and teaching. I'm originally from Avignon, France, and French is my native language, which allows me to help students develop an authentic accent and natural speaking confidence. I speak English fluently and enjoy helping students with French, English, Spanish, Biology, Algebra, and Chemistry.

I am double alum, bachelor and master's degree, of the University of Michigan. I primarily tutor math for middle and high school students as I have a passion for the subject being a former high school math team member. As a teacher, I try to make math understandable by using real world examples that the student can relate to. I believe that is is my job to teach the material in a variety of different ways in order to help the student to understand. Teaching undergraduate students while completing my masters degree gave me a lot of experience working with students with different learning styles and academic backgrounds.

Hi! I am an enthusiastic, hard working sophomore at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I am studying Biomedical Engineering and aspire to become an oral surgeon. In my free time, you will find me at the gym, running, playing basketball, and lifting weights. I believe exercise to be a fantastic stress reliever and motivator. I have over 250 hours of tutoring experience and am excited to tutor students with their homework or with test preparation. I recognize education is the gateway to a better living, so rest assured, I will make every effort to teach students the concepts, so they can apply their knowledge to unique situations. In a world of increasing automation, it is critical students are versatile and can adapt to new situations on the fly. To that end, I will teach them how to solve a problem rather than state the solution to the problem. Often times, students use my guidance to arrive at the solution themselves. This gives students confidence and sharpens their understanding. I will also motivate my students whenever necessary to keep them excited about learning Chemistry or Calculus. Some concepts can be tedious to learn, so it is important to never lose sight of its real world application. I look forward to tutoring my students and helping them reach the next level! Please feel free to reach out!

By training I am a mechanical and biomedical engineer and have most recently worked as a management consultant for the healthcare industry. I have proficiency in the maths and sciences at a Masters of Science in Engineering Level. I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of the math/sciences with others. I volunteer and lead an Adult Literacy class in the inner city. I also volunteered as a science educator at the Franklin Institute Science Center.

I hold a PhD in Applied Physics, with a background spanning advanced mathematics, engineering systems, and quantitative modeling. My training emphasized rigorous analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and the ability to translate complex technical ideas into clear, understandable concepts. Throughout my academic and research career, I have worked extensively with mathematical modeling, differential equations, linear algebra, probability, electromagnetism, and systems-level engineering analysis. This experience allows me to help students see mathematics not as isolated formulas, but as a powerful language for understanding the physical world. My tutoring philosophy centers on developing strong foundations and deep intuition. I help students: Break down complex problems into manageable components Understand the underlying structure behind formulas and theorems Build disciplined, logical reasoning skills Connect abstract math concepts to real-world engineering and physics applications Whether a student is working through high school algebra, preparing for advanced calculus, or studying physics and engineering coursework, I focus on clarity, patience, and building lasting confidence. I aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, thinking critically, and strengthening their analytical abilities step by step. My goal is not only to improve grades or test scores, but to help students become independent, capable thinkers who can approach challenging problems with confidence and precision.

Hello, I'm hoping to be your next tutor! I've worked with kids of all ages and know that every one has a unique learning style and requires patience and attention. I look forward to working with you or your child to meet their goals

Japanese language and culture has had an enormous impact on my personal life and career trajectory. Ever since my first study abroad in Wakayama prefecture in 2014, I've been deeply interested in the cultural perspectives and practices in the natural landscapes of Japan and I am currently pursuing a masters in landscape architecture to further explore that interest.While I am a graduate student of landscape architecture, I have also tailored my degree to include graduate level studies of Japanese language to further refine my ability to network into Japanese-affiliated opportunities in research and industry.I don't believe I would have had the confidence to pursue the opportunities that I do today if not for my skill in Japanese language. I have many teachers and mentors to thank for it, and it is my hope that I can teach and mentor in the same way as a tutor.

I want to help students learn and stay motivated during the process. I am very patient and can tell experiences that can help them understand concepts or learn languages. I am an Industrial Engineer with an MBA. I was born in Peru, so I am native Spanish speaker. I have worked in Peru and USA. I love learning and sharing what I learn.

I hold graduate degrees from the Universities of Virginia (M.S.) and Michigan (MBA). I speak fluent Spanish and have worked for over a decade in management consulting and strategic finance (Google and Tesla). I am a former Jesuit novice and Jesuit educated (high school and university), so I value cura personalis. I started a non-profit called "Ripple Effect Ventures" in 2018, wherein I provided college admission counseling to low-middle income Rwandan students, wherein we achieved a median score above 1200, with several near 1600, garnering nearly $1M in scholarships and multiple top-tier acceptances. I scored > 95th% on the SAT and GMAT (despite minimal study), read 50-70 books a year (across subjects), have visited 50 countries, and am more than suited to teach humanities, social sciences, business, or algebra with polished expertise. I look forward to working with you.

I have a Master's degree in Applied Behavioral Sciences with an emphasis in systems counseling fromBastyr University, and a bachelor's degree in German from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I have anextensive writing background, having worked as a Technical Writer for 10 years, and having written severalpost-graduate academic papers on various aspects of counseling and psychology. While I enjoy helpingkids with reading, writing, math, and homework support in elementary and middle school classrooms, what I love most is working collaboratively with kids to help them become better writers. I have found that kids of all ages have such amazing thoughts and ideas that often go unnoticed in their writing because theystruggle with how to put words on paper. To learn to write well requires ongoing, detailed feedback from teachers who often have a student load of over 100 kids and simply don't have the time to provide such feedback. That is where I can help. I can work with you on an ongoing basis, giving you constructive feedback and useful suggestions to help you express your thoughts in an effective and impact-full manner, while using proper writing conventions, grammar, and punctuation. Whether you need to write a literary analysis for English, a research paper for Psychology, or a college entrance essay, I will happily work with you to hone your writing style and learn proper writing conventions.I'm also available to tutor Speech and Debate, Intro to Psychology, beginning and intermediate German, and English Literature and Composition classes.

University of Michigan graduate with physics degree. Scored 1590/1600 on SAT. Available to help with full SAT prep and all math subjects.

I am currently in my last semester of a Master's program at Wayne State University with a degree in Spanish and a Graduate certificate in linguistics. I taught high school for five years and I am in my second year of teaching at the undergraduate level. I am very passionate about languages and I love both studying and teaching them. I enjoy teaching in general and helping people better understand whatever it is they are trying to learn. I have experience teaching learners of all ages.

I'm a retired professor who taught statistics for many years. To be a good citizen these days, you have to know a little statistics, because many people will try to convince you of many things with statistics, and you need to be able to separate the truth from the lies.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree with a dual major in French and International Studies. I discovered my love for the French language and culture over 10 years ago, and have since studied it extensively both in a classroom setting and by living and working abroad. I am a firm believer in the importance of foreign languages and cultures, and I enjoy sharing my love of multiculturalism with others! I have experience with all sorts of learning methods, including visual, auditory, and hands-on styles! Other interests include dancing and traveling!

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan, where I earned a degree in Biology. I have over eight years of experience teaching and tutoring middle school and high school students. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, SAT preparation, English, Biology, Spanish, and other core academic subjects. I particularly enjoy teaching mathematics, English, and SAT preparation, as well as editing and providing feedback on student essays. Writing has been a meaningful form of self-expression for me since childhood, and I am passionate about helping students develop the confidence and skills to communicate their ideas clearly and authentically. In addition, I am deeply motivated to support students who struggle in STEM courses. Many students facing challenges in these subjects believe they are not "smart enough," when in reality, growth often comes from persistence, guidance, and support. Having navigated both high school and college coursework myself, I value the opportunity to mentor younger students and help them overcome academic challenges and standardized testing anxiety. I firmly believe that every student is capable of success, and I am committed to helping students build confidence and reach their full potential.

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 have twelve years of experience in the education and social work field(s). In addition to my years as an educator (ELA/English), I have experience doing both, individual and group tutoring; all focusing on writing enhancement, communication, ELA, English, Testing, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

Hello! My name is Thomas, and I am a first-year medical student attending Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. I am originally from the Chicago suburbs and graduated from the University of Michigan in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Biomolecular Science. During 2020-2021, I remained in Ann Arbor for a year, working as a research technician to gain experience and strengthen my future application. For 2021-2022, I returned home to Chicago and worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago for a year before beginning medical school in July 2022.I have been passionate about tutoring since high school, where I helped classmates and grade school students all four years. In college, I continued to tutor grade school and high school students via Skype, so I am very comfortable with both in-person and virtual tutoring. My strongest subjects in school have always been math and the sciences, which I have been tutoring for over eight years now. Outside the classroom, I love to stay active, whether playing sports or running with my dog. On the weekends, you can catch me watching my beloved Chicago Bears and Michigan Wolverines on the gridiron.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan working towards a Bachelor's of Computer Science with a minor in Economics. My focus is helping students hone their mental-math skills and solidify concepts taught from pre-algebra through pre-calc. I'm a big proponent of breaking down some of the barriers that exist within coding and the STEM community. I recognize that helping all types of students feel confident in their math skills is the first step, regardless of their interest in coding.I've had experience tutoring kids piano in the past, which I know has similar problem-solving qualities to computer science. Though I tutor a range of programming languages, I specialize in C++ and C as I believe these languages are foundationally the most advantageous to learn.

I am a freshman aerospace engineering major at the University of Michigan! I have tutored countless students for over 2 years and enjoy it a lot. I love to tutor math and can help students with anything ranging from basic algebra to calculus 3.

I have experience teaching classes to University of Michigan underclassmen and am passionate about helping others succeed in all areas of life, especially academic. 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.

PhD student in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in controls. Extensive background in MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, along with the typical core mechanical engineering topics.Have 3 years experience tutoring/mentoring undergraduate students in academic/research topics.

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 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 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 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 have experience tutoring students up to the college level through my university, the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor. I specialize in math and science and enjoy tutoring. I look forward to working with you!

My personal belief is that every student is capable of learning every topic, each in their own way.

I am a current student at the University of Michigan. I am studying molecular biology in the school of literature, science, and the arts. I will graduate in 2025. I am most passionate about teaching SAT test material, because that was an area that I focused on and improved my own score to reach my goals. I am excited to teach both the english and the math sections. I teach using extensive practice problems and practice tests, because that is what helped me learn best and improve my relevant skills. In my spare time I like to workout, swim at the beach, and surf. I would love to work with you to achieve your goals!

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've been teaching English literature and composition since graduate school. If you need help with something language- or literature-related, I can probably do it!

University of Michigan (BS Economics) grad and incoming M1 with MCAT. I earned 8 medical school interviews and multiple acceptances, so I know what it takes to score high on test day and present a winning application. I tutor MCAT, Chemistry, and Economics, and I also offer application coaching (personal statement, activities, school strategy, and interview prep). I can help you raise your score with a clear and efficient game plan.

I am a Certified K-8 Teacher, graduate of the University of Michigan, School of Education's ELMAC (Master of Art in Education with Elementary Certification) Program. I have acquired over a decade's worth of teaching experience. that have reached as far away as Shanghai, China, where I lived for 3 years. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught Spanish to lower and upper elementary students at several Ann Arbor Public Schools and Kindergarten institutions in the Southeast Michigan area. In addition, I worked as a Substitute Teacher to K-8 students at St. Francis Catholic School in Ann Arbor, South Arbor Academy in Ypsilanti and as a Special Education Substitute Teacher for the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD). I had the opportunity to work at Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences (DAAS) as a 5th Grade Teacher to inner-city students for the 2007-2008 school year where I also initiated and implemented a Spanish after school program. My prior employment experiences not only afforded independent work opportunities, but also effective communication and interaction with people of diverse cultural backgrounds and affiliations, which includes co-workers, colleagues, and community leaders. I am a results-oriented individual with a strong administrative and organizational background, along with quality problem-solving and decision-making abilities and skills. My educational philosophy includes the respect and care of my students by establishing a classroom culture of respect and appreciation for self and others, along with responsibility for own learning and high expectation for all students in a culturally diverse and enriched environment; integration of curriculum; instruction and assessment aligned for maximum student engagement, learning and understanding; and my preparedness with effective lesson plans, which incorporates differentiated instruction designed with each student's zone of proximal development. My students benefit greatly from the infusion of the Spanish culture, language, and perspective as part of their learning experience, along with a worldview inclusiveness and respect of all cultures, because of my unique appreciation and veneration for cultural diversity; my corresponding background and fluency with the Spanish language, including knowledge of both Chinese and French language and culture.

I am a Junior at the University of Michigan studying Statistics with an interest in connecting technology to social change. As someone who greatly benefitted from tutoring early on in my education, I am passionate about helping others reach new levels of understanding and security in their education. I have years of experience tutoring in a wide variety of subjects, ranging from math to standardized test prep. I strive toward creating a comfortable and stress-free tutoring environment by catering to a student's specific learning style and pace.

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.
