Award-Winning Tutors from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

I am a recent computer science graduate from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I have extensive experience with C++ and Python Development and I am excited to teach and share this knowledge with others.

I'm a Physics PhD student at CU Boulder who is taking time off to explore my passion for teaching. I've completed a bachelors in Engineering Physics at the University of Michigan, so I have a lot of experience with math and physics. I've done both paid and unpaid tutoring, and really enjoy connecting with students. My goal is to explain concepts clearly and intuitively, and encourage students. Struggling with a course can be a very stressful ordeal, so I'd like to be there to help to my full ability.

I am a graduate of The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and Oakland University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on American Politics from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and my Masters of Public Administration from Oakland University. Since graduation, I have worked as a healthcare consultant for a number of leading firms, which has afforded me some real world examples that I can use with students. During my graduate studies, I worked as a long term substitute teacher. This is where I developed my passion for teaching and educating. I also have experience tutoring private clients in the Metro Detroit area. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Writing, and Social Studies. In my experience helping struggling students, students need a tutor who is very patient and willing to move at the student's pace. I am a firm believer in the power of education. I think education is critical in helping people maximize their potential. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports, reading, coaching, and blogging.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree and Elementary School [K-8] certification from Eastern Michigan University in 1999. I earned a Master of Public Administration degree with a focus on Educational Leadership [K-12] from the University of Michigan in 2011. I'm certified to teach in Maryland, grades K-6 with an endorsement in reading. In Michigan, my certification is for grades K-8 with an endorsement in science.During my 20+ years as an educator, I have been fortunate to serve in a variety of roles. I have been a teacher, academic/assistant principal, reading specialist, curriculum writer, education consultant, and a manager of curriculum at the government level.My classes encourage a love of reading, writing and science. They are tailored to address individual student needs. I meet my students at their level and move them forward in an engaging, innovative and supportive manner.I often use the socratic method of education which results in higher-level thinking skills, active student participation, and thoughtfulness.My expectations for each child are high. Every child has unlimited potential and is capable of greatness!I can't wait to see you in the classroom!

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan. I received my Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in Biochemistry. Since graduation, I have worked on the basic and translational immunology projects, including bioconjugation techniques for a startup now in series B funding, spent a year long fellowship in the UK studying Medical Ethics and Law, and returned to work for a firm developing a rapid, microfluidic, PCR-based diagnostic platform and actively distributing SARS-CoV-2 tests worldwide. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chemistry, Biology, and Math. Here to help if those are subjects you'd like to improve.

I am a current medical student in Boston. I previously worked for 3 years as an English teacher and journalist in Rome, Italy. My diverse experiences in life as a teacher, student, researcher and writer have granted me the perspective to see how many different learning styles there are, and how each and every student deserves individualized attention to reach their maximum potential. Whether it be preparing for the MCAT, writing an application essay, or learning basic english grammar, I promised to approach every lesson with the patience and attention that you deserve!

As a graduate of the University of Michigan with a BA in Public Policy, I bring both academic expertise and a passion for learning to my tutoring approach. Over the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of working with students of all ages, from K-12, helping them unlock their potential in subjects like social studies, history, government, and the social sciences. My teaching philosophy is centered around conceptual learningfocusing on big-picture themes and trends to enhance memory and comprehension. This approach allows students to grasp the core principles of a subject, making it easier to retain information and understand its broader implications. I'm particularly passionate about the writing process, and I enjoy guiding students through every stage, from brainstorming ideas to polishing their final drafts. Traveling and experiencing different cultures since my graduation has also broadened my perspective, helping me better understand how global issues shape our world. I'm committed to helping students not just succeed academically, but also develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Above all, I love fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions, explore ideas, and grow as critical thinkers.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I received my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science and am currently applying to medical school. During college, I enjoyed tutoring children through a program called the Detroit Education Society, where I developed a passion for teaching the underserved, helping to bridge the education gaps between communities. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Science, and English. I focus on teaching the fundamentals and inspiring students to love what they learn. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, reading books, and hanging out with my friends.

Bonjour! My name is Emily McGill and I'm going to be a senior at the University of Michigan. French is my mother tongue, as my mom's family all immigrated from France and still have a home there that I visit for several months every year. From kindergarten to 12th grade, I attended EFAC (Ecole Franco-Americaine de Chicago) and passed the French BAC in 11th grade. I've continued with my French education at the University of Michigan where I major in Creative Writing. Outside of French, my interests are writing, playing music, drawing/graphic design, and most importantly, traveling. I look forward to passing along my love for French and writing!

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'm a former high school English teacher and college counselor from Chicago enrolled at a graduate writing program at the University of Minnesota. I most love helping students discover their power and voice through college essays and projects for their literature courses, but I also love helping students grow in their reading skills and other classes.I believe that every learner has the ability to grow if a good teacher or tutor pushes him or her along the way. I try to do that through first getting to know the student and then empowering him or her through modeling and questioning to get to core understanding. I like to also use humor and a lot of patience.

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'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.

A graduate of University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I earned a BA in Speech and an MS in Speech Pathology. After years working in the school system and Easter Seal Society with grades K-8, I became Director of Public Relations at Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center, Ohio.As a spokesperson for the Center I began making public appearances at events and was a regular guest on Cleveland television and radio. That led to my specialization in voice and a career as a speaking professional and member of the National Speakers Association.When I moved to North Carolina, I created a company entitled "Speaking With Authority, Inc.," and traveled nationwide as a keynote speaker and executive voice and speech coach. My award-winning book "The Voice That Means Business: How to Speak With Authority, Confidence and Credibility.....Anytime, Anywhere" helped countless clients gain public speaking confidence. I've been featured in Smart Money Magazine, Mens Health magazines, wrote columns for the Triangle Business Journal and was interviewed by The New York Times.After years of travel, I began to build my business close to home and am new well respected in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.My passion in teaching students about the importance of speaking with authority caught the attention of Meredith College, a private women's institution in Raleigh, NC. I joined the Communications Department faculty in 2017, teaching Public Speaking, Business and Professional Communication, Interpersonal Communication and Introduction to Communication. I am currently employed there and have found my "home" teaching college students how to successfully connect with any audience...anytime, anywhere. I love influencing young people and helping them find their authentic voices! That's why I am now specializing in coaching students.

When I was growing up my grandmother frequently told me that getting an education was my ticket to a better life. She was right and now that I have my ticket I want to help others get their own. Learning wasn't always easy for me because I am a kinesthetic learner. I had to learn to adapt and through that process, I have gained the skills to tutor others. My tutoring philosophy is to learn what styles best fit the tutee and modify the information to fit that style. I tutor so I can help others set themselves up for a better life.Currently, I am a college student at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor majoring in Movement Science in the School of Kinesiology and minoring in dance. After undergrad, I hope to go to medical school to continue helping others. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, reading, and traveling.

I am a sophomore at the University of Michigan pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Statistics as well as a minor in the Environment. My main expertise is in programming, specifically in C++ and Java. I have some experience tutoring a student in AP Computer Science A, and I have also taken extensive coursework in data structures and algorithms as well as discrete math. I can provide help with AP Computer Science and AP BC Calc (I received a 5 on both exams) as well as some early college-level programming.

I am a Stanford Graduate with a Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering. My tutoring expertise lies in GRE test prep, math and science. My academic achievements in these subjects allowed me to earn a full ride scholarship during my undergraduate studies and a graduate study scholarship at Stanford University.I have tutored middle school and high school students in mathematics and science. Through tutoring, I have developed a number of unique teaching styles that tailor to all different types of students. I provide quick tips and tricks to make problem solving more effective. My approach to tutoring is very simple. I first understand a student's goals and objectives, gauge his/her strengths and weakness before I begin tutoring lessons.Beyond teaching the content, I will also impart studying skills and test-taking techniques to help my students perform better on their exams. I personally enjoy making challenging concepts simple, and I am good at helping people find their own learning style. My philosophy is that there's always a way for each person to learn the necessary material to achieve their goals, and it's my job to find the way each student learns best and reinforce understanding through active-learning. Whether you need help on homework, getting ready for exams, or laying a foundation for your future career in math, science or engineering, I am here to help you.

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.

Hello! My name is Sarnath and I am currently a freshman studying business at the University of Michigan. I love Ann Arbor, but my first home is Chicago! I enjoy a lot of subjects but my favorites are economics and math, and more recently I have enjoyed programming. I hope I can help you to the best of my ability!

I lived in France for almost ten years and fell in love with the people, their language, and their country. I lived and worked in such places as Aix-en-Provence, Bourges, Clermont-Ferrand, and Paris. My primary reasons for being in France, however, were to master the French language and complete my bachelors in 1986, my masters in 1994, and my doctorate in 2001. I have extensive knowledge of French culture and have achieved near-native fluency. My overriding goal when teaching French has always been to increase fluency, both written and spoken. Inasmuch as possible I conduct classes in French. This is a daunting prospect to many students, but my greatest assets as a teacher are patience and praise. I have taught all levels of French to students as young as 10 and as old as 70. I am also certified to prepare students to take the College Board's AP French Language and Culture exam. My AP students have consistently earned 4s and 5s on this rigorous test. My favorite thing about teaching French is to meet a student with no knowledge of French and watch her/him go on to study in France, become fluent in the language and then take a degree in it. I love to inspire.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and honors in African-American studies. During my undergrad, I tutored high school students in geometry, English, history, and algebra I/II. I also tutored undergraduate students at the University of Michigan in the SuccessConnects program in precalculus and spanish. While I can tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects are math and English courses. I am a natural tutor, and I have helped many of my close friends get through their math courses at the University of Michigan, and I hope I can continue to help as many students as possible. In my spare time, I love to travel, read, dance, choreograph, hang out with my family and friends, and practice yoga.

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 am currently a rising junior at the University of Michigan, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biomolecular Science.In the past, I spent a total of two years with an SAT Prep company, both as a student and administrative assistant, which has given me a unique perspective on the exam. I also did volunteer tutoring at an elementary school in Ann Arbor, where I served as a tutor/mentor for multiple students.I tutor a few different subjects, primarily the SAT in addition to science classes such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics.Outside of school, I love watching sports and supporting the Celtics and Patriots. I also enjoy spending time hanging out with my friends.I enjoy helping students understand concepts by looking at them from a different perspective and guiding them to master different topics.

I have been tutoring college students in writing, rhetoric, and argumentative strategies for three years at DePaul's Writing Center and have independently worked with high school english students from local Chicago prep schools. I love tutoring because I think that all people are able to benefit from collaborative learning and thinking. I tutor in writing, english, and law school prep materials (LSAT, personal statement writing, application advice, etc.).My favorite subject is anything related to writing because I believe that writing is such a personal and creative outlet, no matter the subject!

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!

Detroit, Michigan is my birthplace and current residence. Before relocating back home in June 2008, I lived in Chicago, Illinois for ten years. My ties to "Chi-town" are abundant, so I return often to teach, freelance, and socialize.My philosophy to teaching has been cultivated through the student-centered approach to learning. The first goal is to create a positive learning environment that will engage our classroom. Thereafter, insight is enhanced by instituting comprehensive instruction, and in-depth dialogue. Last, I believe that encouraging scholarly growth equates to supporting the maturation of critical thinking. Such approach should assist in developing individual scholarly voices, ultimately refined through class discussions, assignments, and personal experience.Professionally, I am a Counselor dedicated to hospice care, bereavement counseling, and leading psycho-educational groups. One of my assignments is to conduct group counseling and instruct a financial accountability curriculum to first-time bad check offenders. This program allows me to work with men and women in three Midwest states: Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. In 8 years, and 119 classes, I have reached 2,944 people. I love my work!!While I accept my call to serve others going through financial, life, or death transition; there is a deeper passion to teach. Through online and classroom environments, my courses include: Philosophy of Ethics, Ethical Issues in Human Service Organizations, Technologies in Human Service Organizations, The Helping Process & Self-Care, and Principles of Health & Wellness. In addition, I am a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, Independent First Aid/CPR Instructor and Family Caregiving Leader through the Southeastern Michigan Red Cross.Living gives me great joy; especially when time is spent with my 2 nephews, 1 niece, and 2 cats (Syren & Kooper). Little people and animals allow me to breathe, and maintain a balanced - purpose driven perspective on life. Away from family, I am working out: Kangoo Jumping, and weather permitting, riding my Trikke.Remember to KISS (Keep It Simple Scholar)...

I am a current University of Michigan student, working towards a Bachelor's degree in both English and Political Science. I've spent much of my life tutoring, and have experience working with students from pre-K all the way up to, and including, college. I am especially proficient at helping with reading comprehension, literary analysis, close reading, and writing essays. I am also an ACT tutor, and focus on an approach that builds confidence towards the exam, not just repetition. I can also teach algebra and pre-algebra, as well as AP United States History. I am also available to work on college admittance essays and with public speaking.I teach much the way I was taught: learning to recognize my own mistakes. I will never give a student the answer, but I will help them realize where they went wrong so they can focus on their mistakes. Especially in mathematical subjects, the true knowledge is in understanding the process of answering a question, and just knowing the answer is not enough. I work with students to recognize errors, and to help students be able to answer questions by themselves.I have a similar approach in English subjects, where it is very important to develop a thought process when thinking analytically about a piece of writing. Students will learn to recognize grammatical structure and parts of speech, as well as to recognize important literary terms and techniques in writing, and how it contributes to the work as a whole.Outside of the academic realm, I am diehard sports fan, and currently work as a sports journalist. My favorite sport is football, but I watch almost every major sport around the world. I'm also an avid fan of professional wrestling. I also enjoy reading, writing, and playing video games in my spare time, and I love working out and playing sports when the weather is nice. I also love watching stand-up comedy, specifically comedians like Kevin Hart and Jim Gaffigan.

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 earned my B.A. in Russian Language and Literacy with a Minor in Linguistics at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor Honors College in 2009. I earned my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Wayne State University in 2013. I have 3 years of experience working as a speech therapist with kindergarten through twelfth grade students, and I am passionate about helping students develop and master all aspects of literacy. I am used to working with students in one-on-one and group settings, and I have both classroom and pull-out experience. In a typical day, I help students to address many facets of their language and literacy, including vocabulary, writing, phonemic awareness, verbal organization, sentence structure, and reading comprehension. Additionally, I have advanced fluency in Russian and would be happy to offer tutoring services to beginning Russian learners or those looking for vacation Russian. Although the roles of a tutor and speech pathologist are different, I believe that my extensive instructional experience will make me an ideal tutor for you or your child.

I am a graduate of University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Mathematics with a focus on finance. Since graduation, I worked briefly as a financial advisor, and then went on to work as a private tutor in my local community. I tutor students of any grade K-12. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics, Economics, and Statistics. I have adequate experience tutoring for standardized tests like SAT, ACT, and GRE. I believe that hard work always trumps talent, thus I am patient with students who are willing to put forth the effort. In my spare time, I enjoy exercise, video games, movies, and board games.

I've been teaching math, physics, and economics from grades 6-12 for the last 15 years. I was certified to teach in Michigan and Illinois, and taught in both states. I have also taken classes in cognitive research, which has helped me understand how to teach most effectively so that students and properly understand and retain the information that they're learning. Because I've taught many different subjects and age groups, I have a broader understanding of teaching and learning than most educators, which helps me find a particular way to best help the individual student.

I love teaching and working with students because everyone I work with makes me think about the material in a new way. It's a wonderful feeling to see someone grasp a topic they've been struggling with and make new connections. I have a wide variety of interests which is reflected in the subjects I tutor: Spanish and introductory science classes like organic chemistry, biology, and microbiology. I am a rising Junior at the University of Michigan with a Microbiology major and Spanish minor. Every student learns differently, and I believe in customizing my approach to each person individually. Although I do not have previous formal tutoring experiences, I have worked with many informal study groups at UM and take pride in my communication skills to discuss complex issues. I believe a broad, liberal arts education teaches students not only information, but how to generate unique, analytical thoughts.

I am an incoming freshman at The University of Michigan. I am currently planning on receiving my Bachelor of Sciences from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts with a focus on cognitive neuroscience and Spanish.
