I'm currently studying Business and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I tutor the SAT (on which I scored a 1590/1600), as well as high school-level Math, History, and English, including AP courses. The reason I tutor the SAT, specifically, is that, because I graduated high school just one year ago, I still vividly remember the strategies I devised while rigorously studying for the SAT, from memorizing passage structures and common question types to finding strategies to eliminate answer choices before even starting questions. Understanding these strategies doesn't have to be hard, though, and I want to help students learn these strategies without having to figure them out themselves.

Dear Student,It is my desire to help you learn more effectively and enjoyably. In all subjects and areas of learning, we gain knowledge and information that aid our ability to think. I look forward to the opportunity to help you on your path to exceptional learning, and to experiencing wealth of knowledge that you have before you.

I'm a junior at the University of Michigan who loves to climb and code! Tutoring has always been a passion of mine as well - I love seeing my students grow and succeed both academically and personally!

I graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering. During high school and college, I have had extensive tutoring and teaching experience; during high school, I served as a volunteer tutor through my school's National Honors Society and tutored high school students on Math subjects (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus AB/BC); in college, I was a teaching assistant in a freshman engineering course where I helped students 1:1 and in small groups with MatLab programming, engineering design fundamentals, and other engineering concepts. My favorite subject to tutor is high school math (Algebra 1 to AP Calculus) because I enjoy the challenge of solving problems and applying mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios, making learning both practical and enjoyable. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique concerns and ensuring they have a strong grasp of the fundamentals. I focus on guiding students through problems and supporting their learning accordingly.

I am a graduate from the University of Michigan- Ross School of Business. I tutor in mostly math subjects, but also tutor in essay writing/editing as well as ACT and GMAT. I have tutored athletes throughout college and also tutored in high school. My tutoring style mostly involves asking leading questions so a student can figure out the correct answer on their own with some guidance. Outside of academia, I love to cook, hang out with friends and watch sports.

Hello! My name is Emily Cavero and I am a recent graduate from the University of Michigan. During my time in Ann Arbor, I studied psychology and business, taking a wide variety of courses ranging from STEM to humanities. I am excited for the opportunity to work with students ranging from kindergarten to middle school or early high school, specifically in the subjects of Math and English. I have taken Math courses up to and including college calculus, and have always been passionate about and enjoyed the subject of English. I would be happy to offer my learned effective techniques, tips, and strategies to younger students across Math and English topics, whether it be reading comprehension, writing, spelling, grammar, or whatever other objectives the student is aiming to achieve. I like to devise a plan first while looking at the whole task at hand, such as areas for improvement or assignments, and develop a plan in order to help the student attain the performance they desire. Please feel free to book a session and I would be happy to discuss any strategies, plans, or answer any questions. I look forward to working with students soon!

I am a recent graduate of University of Michigan - Ann Arbor's Master's of Science program, where I studied Aerospace Engineering. I have three years of college level tutoring experience from my time as an Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW) Facilitator during my undergraduate career at Syracuse University. As an AEW facilitator I was responsible for leading a group of students (6-8 similar to a small recitation session) to master course material, while helping them develop their problem solving, interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills. I often met with professors to discuss student progress and prepare tutoring session material. Furthermore, I held weekly office hours and lead review sessions throughout the semester to help students with upcoming tests. Courses I have tutored in range from Calculus and Physics to early Engineering courses such as Statics and Dynamics. In addition to my tutoring experience, I am capable of helping student with computer programming languages including Matlab and Python. I enjoy seeing students learn and grow and challenging them to overcome problems they initially considered difficult. On my free time, I enjoy listening to music, watching movies and podcasts, or playing soccer with friends. In addition, I am fluent in Spanish, and a beginner in French.

I graduated from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor with a degree in Honors Anthropology. I have been a college and high school instructor and tutor for over five years. I specialize in areas of transition from high school to college, such as math, research, and writing, as well as college test prep (ACT/SAT and Application Essays), but I also have experience in more specific areas as well.To me, the most important aspects of helping students to learn are to be flexible and adaptable to each individual. It is also important to be communicative and expressive for each concept, and to add in a little humor or personality to every lesson to keep boredom from taking control.Though my passion is education, I am trained and experienced as an attorney with emphasis on persuasive writing, research skills, and public speaking in various subject matters. I certainly bring those skills to my students' lessons.

Since earning my undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Russian Language & Literature, I have moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, to complete a Fulbright Research Fellowship. In 2021, I will return to the University of Michigan to begin my MD/PhD training. My specialties include helping clients improve their Russian and Chinese, work on comprehensive strategies and material breakdown for the MCAT, as well as develop greater understanding of the sciences. As attentive mentorship is the cornerstone of academic progress, I endeavor to assist my students in honing their potential and delighting in the process.

I love helping students learn and really understand the material. I make analogies and relate concepts to everyday life whenever possible. I have a sense of humor and always try to make learning fun. I love working one-on-one with students because I can see what concepts/topics are not understood and help build a strong foundation before moving on to harder topics.I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry and have been tutoring/teaching chemistry for 14 years. I was an instructor of general chemistry at Penn State University for several years before moving to Philadelphia. Over the years, I have garnered many general chemistry textbooks, exam question databanks and homework problems.In addition to tutoring college students all over the U.S. (online and in person), I have tutored high school students in chemistry (regular, honors, AP and IB). I have also worked with adult students who have returned to school.

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

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.

I am a graduate of Howard University and of the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to my law degree, I have received undergraduate degrees in English and Philosophy. I have also done graduate work in philosophy at Temple University. I have worked several years as a professional journalist. My work has been published in many newspapers and magazines including USA Today, the Nashville Tennessean, the Baltimore Sun, the Asbury Park Press, the Michigan Daily, the Army Times, and the Honolulu Advertiser. I have won several awards from state and national press associations for my work. I am also an adjunct legal studies professor in the Roher College of Business at Rowan University. Since 2003, I have tutored students preparting to take the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Social Studies. For both subjects, my tutoring style is focused on ascertaining and addressing the student's specific needs, but tends to focus on improving student's ability to read texts actively and for understanding, teaching students to take and rewrite class notes, and learning to write effective essays. I have many hobbies and interests. I am a huge sports fan. I follow the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Michigan Wolverines. I am an avid reader of literature and history. I enjoy writing, cooking, biking and golfing. I love to travel. Most recently, I have traveled to Ethiopia, South Africa, and Switzerland. I plan to visit China this summer.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan where I earned my bachelor of science degree in cellular and molecular biology. I chose this major because I am fascinated with how cells in the body interact with each other and the pathways in which they communicate. Originally being pre-med, I applied to medical schools the year after I graduated. Also during this gap year, I taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors.Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as an educator is to help students find excitement in what they are learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is an irreplaceable tool to get them interested in actually learning something, instead of simply "getting by" by cramming the night before. I do my absolute best to provide a positive, fun, engaging experience for students which focuses on their potential to succeed by showing them how much they have already accomplished to give them confidence to tackle new obstacles.Though my passion is biology and I tutor all levels, I am also skilled at English and writing and love to edit and help craft essays. I am also certified to tutor the ACT. When I am not tutoring, I am either singing somewhere, checking in on Michigan Football news, spending time with friends, or out exploring some part of wonderful New York City. Go Blue!

In my life, I've had a handful of influential teachers and role models. They've guided me in my times of need and I am who I am today as a result. I hope to pay this forward by fulfilling that role in helping the next generation of learners become what they were meant to be! In my pre-university of days, I tutored through National Honors Society and worked as a martial arts instructor for 3-13 year-olds, so I'm great with kids! Currently, I am studying at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, pursuing a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biopscyhology, Cognition, and Neuroscience. There, I am an Evans Scholar, a Mu Epsilon Delta brother (a profession premedical fraternity, go premeds woohoo!) and on the Varsity Cheer Team. After college, I aspire to attend medical school and earn my place in this world as a doctor. In my time in academia, I've come to love the STEM subjects, as you can probably infer from my aspirations. Feel free to come to me with any of the topics that I offer, however especially I love tutoring in psychology, statistics, biology, and I'm pretty dandy with algebra. I am patient yet I expect a lot out of my students because I believe that my students should not only learn the material, but how to think. That being said, I try to make learning fun and show my students that it can be a hobby. Eventually, I hope to get my students to a place where they outgrow me. Consequently, this does not sadden me--it truly warms my heart to see my students grow and prosper. Outside of the classroom, I like to play my guitar, spend time outside usually playing sports, and I would be lying if I said I haven't been binging Netflix shows in this quarantine! I also love to talk about virtually anything and am starting my own podcast! All of this to say, I hope my services can be of help to you and feel free to reach out to me about anything!

I graduated from the University of Michigan and received my Master degree in International and Regional Studies.I am a Chinese native speaker and I majored in Japanese at college. Before I came to the United States, I studied at Ritsumeikan University in Japan for three years.Language learning and teaching are my passions. I am open-minded and love to communicate. I can help you to improve your Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I also passed Japanese JLPT N1 level, and can help you with your Japanese. All ages are welcome.

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. While there, I participated in several coding workshops as an instructor and taught learners of all ages. It brings me joy to see the click of understanding when a student is tackling a new subject and I try my best to help them achieve their goals.

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."

My education background from the University of Michigan is in psychology and elementary education, with a teaching certificate for K-8th grade. I have had experience teaching and tutoring at all grade levels, and I am able to tutor most core academic subjects. However, I have a special love for language - particularly literacy skills and writing. I am currently back in graduate school studying speech-language pathology.

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!

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 received my undergraduate degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics. Also, I recently graduated with my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in Applied Physics. I love teaching and helping students grasp concepts. I believe in moving beyond rote memorization to personal mastery and ownership of one's education. I am available to tutor in SAT Math Test prep, Algebra 1-4, Pre-Calulus, and Trigonometry.

Let's make learning fun!

I am a rising senior at the University of Michigan studying Economics and Business. Along with my passion for learning, I enjoy teaching mathematics and English to elementary, middle, and high school students. I understand how much patience is needed when it comes to solving trigonometry problems, algebra equations, or geometry proofs. I am passionate about teaching students and providing meaningful, consistent connections with my students. With my experiences in tutoring, I have gained great confidence in my teaching style and how I approach students with various backgrounds differently. I believe that education is a ticket to social and economic equality; at Varsity Tutors, it will be my duty to understand how to make a difference in the education field. In my free time, I enjoy spending lots of time with my family and watching shows/movies with them.

I am here to help students study for standardized tests necessary for undergraduate and graduate acceptance. I have years of experience tutoring in ACT and GRE prep for individual lessons and in the GRE Prep Courses. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Engineering with a degree in chemical engineering. I am currently an MBA student at NYU Stern. I enjoy film and music theory, football, basketball, I like to jog, exercise, hike and travel. I have utilized services such as this before and have spent a majority of my time throughout high school and college tutoring students and wish to do the same now for students looking to take undergraduate and graduate level standardized tests.

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 am a recent graduate from Wayne State University and I majored in Honors Psychology and minored in Nutrition and Food Science. I will be attending the University of Michigan Medical School in July 2020. During my free time, I like to read, cook and explore Detroit!

I am a rising sophomore at Michigan (Go Blue!!). I have loved math since before I could remember and am pursuing a major in Computer Science. When I am not coding/math-ing (is that a word?), I love to hang out with friends, work out, and scoop ice cream at my (other) job!

My goal as a tutor will be to help the student understand the content as easily as possible.The technique will vary with each student as everyone has their unique strengths.Most importantly, the sessions will be fruitful.

I am a tutor who is looking to help anyone, not just students, excel in their writing. This can vary from essays, projects, reports, speeches, anything you can think of that needs guidance, I want to be the one who can be of service and be of assistance!Born in Manhattan, New York then moved to Chicago where I reside for majority of my time, and graduated from the University of Ann Arbor.

I have spent the last 15 years working with students so that they can feel successful. I will work hard to find a way to help you understand the concepts! I have two engineering degrees from the University of Michigan, one in Chemical Engineering and one in Material Science Engineering. I also have an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Finally, I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Oakland University. I am certified to teach Chemistry, Math, and Physics, and I have an Integrated Science Endorsement.

When I have the time, tutoring is one of my favorite things to do. It's first a great excuse to meet new people in the Lawrence area, working together towards a goal makes it all the better. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Lawrence in 2013 for grad school, and I love it here. It's a pretty small town, so we've probably crossed paths at some point at the farmers market, at the monthly Free State Story Slam, or on an outdoor basketball court. And I hope we can make it work so that we'll be able to get together to master whatever class or standardized test you're working on.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan and am currently a candidate for a Master in Public Policy degree from Rutgers University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Studies with a focus on International Security and Norms, English Language and Literature, and Spanish. Since graduation, I got married, moved from my hometown in Michigan to a new home in New Jersey, and started tutoring and nannying students full-time while also attending graduate school full-time. I primarily work with children with learning difficulties and health issues that affect their energy and performance level in relation to their academics. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. In working with the older students, I have helped them completely transform their college essays into true stories that have helped gain them admission into their first-choice schools. Conversely, with my younger students with learning disabilities, I have helped them remarkably improve their grades at competitive private schools in Manhattan while reigniting that spark which allows them to enjoy learning once again. I am a firm proponent of education believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students while also showing them that going back to the basics and having fun while doing homework and studying for tests is absolutely possible and necessary in order to succeed in school. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing competitive volleyball, cooking healthy meals and creating new recipes in my kitchen and spending time with my nieces.

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.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on American History. After graduation I worked eight years in retail merchandising as a buyer for both American Eagle and Bath & Body Works. This time in retail improved my communication skills and taught me how to focus on the needs of our customer. I used these skills when I went back to school and earned a teaching license for the state of Ohio. What I love most about my Integrated Social Studies License is that it allows me to teach many Social Studies classes like History (US, World), Government, Economics, Geography and every other Social Studies class from grade 7-12. After receiving my license I spent time both in the classroom and online tutoring students and found my teaching style better suited the customizable experience of small group and one-on-one teaching sessions. I believe every student learns differently so working as a tutor I can adjust my style to meet the needs of the student.

My name is Savon. I'm from Chicago, IL and I am currently in Ann Arbor, MI attending U of M. I've had a passion for teaching since my senior year in high school, and for that reason I am completing my last two semesters in the teacher education program. I love helping students to feel empowered after learning something new, so I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to help students to become better thinkers and learners.

I have been a teacher all my life whether in the classroom or just in life. I love learning, and I am constantly seeking out new areas of interest, whether it's online courses or working on a new degree or taking up a new hobby. Interacting with students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities always leads to that rewarding experience of helping someone learn something new. I'm always up for the challenges of teaching -- as a wise man once said, "There are as many kinds of intelligence as there are individuals"! Understanding each individual's unique learning process is the key that helps any student learn any subject.

I am currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan where I am studying Chemical Engineering. I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio (Go Reds!), where I lived my whole life until I came to UM. My favorite subject in school was always Chemistry, but I love teaching math. Outside of my school work, I am very involved in several student groups on campus. I play horn in the marching band and the basketball band, and I am also part of a flag football team. I am a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. I love helping people learn, and I can't wait to help anyone who needs it!

As a tutor, I am dedicated to enhancing student comprehension by focusing on thought processes as well as the answer itself, ensuring that students follow a logical step-by-step progression when solving problems and maximizing their understanding of the topics at hand. I have experience tutoring at the high school and collegiate level through student organizations, university employment, and personal offerings.
