Award-Winning Tutors from Wayne State University

I believe there is a fine line between teaching and learning. I good teacher will learn from his/her student and vice versa. I also strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for my students, so they are not afraid to make mistakes, learn from their mistakes and take chances.

I am a first-year Master of Science student in Biostatistics at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. I aim to apply statistics and data analysis in the field of endocrine cancers and diseases research. I earned my Bachelor of Science with a double major in Statistics and Public Health at Wayne State University. I have tutored math and statistics to K-12 students for three years now and to college students for one year. I teach using visuals, comprehensive definitions, real-world examples, and detailed demonstrations. I encourage Socratic questioning, student-led demonstrations, and feedback on my tutoring style. I tutor 8-12 mathematics, AP/regular Calculus, AP/regular Statistics, Trigonometry, Geometry, as well as college-level Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus 1. Outside of that, I am happy to support students in managing time, organizing handwritten math work, and studying.

I started getting interested in Biology in the 10th or 11th grade. That was when I began to think about the world from a scientific perspective. I studied Biology at Wayne State University for five years on a presidential scholarship, for which I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal classroom question and answer sessions. I worked in a research lab after earning an undergraduate research fellowship and explored Physiology at the School of Medicine. Then went on to study Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While there a decision appeared clear between focusing on research or teaching. I like teaching better. I truly enjoy spreading knowledge about Biology and Chemistry and finding fun ways to introduce people to these (often difficult) subjects.

I graduated cum laude with a bachelor's in biochemistry, and have privately tutored for the MCAT, biology, chemistry, and physiology for 4 years. I have helped over 100 students improve their grades, and increased MCAT scores by at least 5-10 points. After covering medical courses in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, biochemistry, and genetics, I feel confident tutoring those subjects at an undergraduate level, especially for students looking towards a career in the medical field. My experience in medical school gave me a deep understanding of core science subjects. There's so many different ways to learn the same material, and it's my mission to find the way that clicks for each individual. During my experience as a private tutor, I have honed my ability to customize study plans with my students, to fit their needs. For many of my students, I will go through individual questions, and break it down step by step until they feel confident in the material. Furthermore, for exam prep, I also teach and reinforce test taking strategy. My MCAT score was a 37 which corresponds to the 98th percentile. I make sure to review new materials and keep up with changes to help students with the upcoming cycle. As someone who's been through the application process, I know it is rigorous, but not insurmountable. Feel free to contact me for lessons, homework help, or exam preparation, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. My schedule is flexible, especially online, and I am ready to help meet your goals.

MS in Chemistry and a math major. Former teaching assistant for undergraduate classes. I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, chemistry, and programming in C, C++, and C#. I start from what you already understand and work problems with you until you can do them on your own.

Education is not just a hobby or an activity, I consider it a privilege . To be able to guide young minds to success is one of the world's greatest honors. I have almost a decade of Tutoring experience ranging in multiple areas and age groups. Being a Graduate of Wayne State University, I have taken on multiple internships working with bilingual students and adults with disabilities. These opportunities guided my decision to pursue Graduate School at Walden University to learn different counseling and coaching techniques to better assist adolescents in their educational journeys. I mainly tutor Elementary and Middle School topics, but I can also do certain high school topics as well. I firmly believe that with the proper tutor with the right approach can make all the difference in a child's success. So, Lets make a difference today.

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 graduate of Wayne State University and I received my B.S. in Business Administration. Since graduation I have traveled to and tutored children in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Mexico, and Africa. I enjoy working with children because I find them fun and easy to connect to. I have also tutored adults which I enjoy also. Although I've tutored a wide range of subjects Elementary Reading, Elementary English and Elementary Math are my strongest subjects. I've also taught ESL for the past 9 years. I love to travel and I really enjoy reading, swimming and spending time with my pet.

My mathematical skills include Algebra, Geometry, Calculus and Statistics. I struggled while I was in college at times with various subjects and I am aware of what it feels like to need help and question if I can even pass a particular class. I can give real life situations to any problem that will explain how to solve the problem and reduce stress and anxiety.

I am a graduate student at Depaul University, studying pure mathematics. I have only recently moved to Chicago, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my short time here. I am originally from Detroit, Where I finished my bachelor's degree in secondary education at Wayne State University, majoring in math and minoring in physics. I have always been very interested in math, how logic-oriented it is and how it applies to almost everything in the real world. Aside from school I enjoy travelling, playing tennis, reading, and watching football on Sundays. I taught have been a teacher two years prior to this: one in middle school and one in high school. I had a great time as a teacher, and I see no reason why tutoring would be any different!

Hello, this is Issa. I am here with a true passion for mathematics and science.

I look forward to working with you. be the best version of yourself.

I have a teaching certificate through the State of Board of Education from the state of Michigan. I have taught on the elementary, middle and secondary level. I also have experience as a college professor teaching both English composition and mathematics.My responsibility in making every effort to ensure that my students have what they require in order to become effective in their respective disciplines is tantamount to my passion for tutoring. Educating students is my primary objective with respect to the assurance that they thoroughly understand the instruction I provide for them. I believe that such a responsibility is the mainstay that enables students to become the citizens they ultimately expect to aspire to. Further, it is my job to provide the requisite tools they require in order for them to become productive in this global job market.I am excited about continued work within the tutorial arena. I have tutored students during after-school tutorial programs. I have also worked as a tutor for both Marygrove College and the University of Detroit Mercy where I have tutored high school students.

I'm a Wayne State graduate with a passion for psychology. I'm an experienced tutor who was once the president of a tutoring/mentoring organization (Psychology Academic Support Services) at WSU. I've been seeing students on a one on one basis for over three years now, and I'm confident that I can equip with the strategies needed to understand the material, and learn the most effective way to prepare for the test. My subjects include ACT/SAT prep, Algebra I and II, Statistics, Psychology, and many others. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in scheduling a tutoring session. I'm available for sessions online and in person, on afternoons, weeknights, and weekends.

I am a graduate of Wayne State University. My passions in my academic career included literature, phonetics and linguistics, and grammar in both the English and Spanish languages. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish. During my time as a student, I volunteered as a tutor of ESL to adults in the 1st and 2nd levels. I was able to help my students grasp English more fully by approaching lessons with an understanding of how difficult it is to learn a new language. I would provide new examples or ways to memorize. For students struggling with pronunciation, I was able to help with my background in phonetics in both English and Spanish. I have also tutored ESL in an elementary school setting. I enjoyed finding fun stories to challenge my students, but in a subject they were interested in. I would try to find engaging forms of learning that focused on what they were learning in class. I believe in education, and believe that knowledge is power.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, photography, playing the piano, volleyball, board games, and trying to teach myself the guitar.

A charismatic and dependable educator who will deliver educational assistance and instruction to various levels of learners. I am also A cultivated educator with years of high-level, complex training experience. I am committed to providing learners with the necessary tools to achieve academic goals, instilling the love of earning, and cooperative teamwork. Adept in the application of excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

I believe the best learning happens when complex ideas are made approachable, practical, and engaging. My goal as a tutor is not just to help you get the right answer, but to make sure you understand why it's correct and how to apply the concept in new situations. I focus on breaking down difficult topics into simple, clear steps, and I tailor my explanations to match your learning style.

I love learning new stuff! Although this is a simplistic statement this idea is at the heart of why I chose to become an educator. Every time I have the privilege of leading instruction either virtually or on-ground, I learn something new. The opportunity to pass that feeling on to students is why I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors. My experience teaching college and high school students from various age groups, backgrounds, and different skill levels has perfectly prepared me to be help students further their understanding in the area of English literature and composition.Since moving to Las Vegas from Michigan I have been teaching for Clark County School District and the College of Southern Nevada. I look forward to tutoring and helping all students fulfill their educational endeavors. Thanks

I have a decade of high school teaching experience in Math and AP Computer Science. I've worked with all kinds of learners - students who are ahead, students who are behind, and everyone in between. My goal is to figure out exactly where a concept stops making sense, then meet you there. If the first explanation doesn't land, we try a different angle until you've got it.

We have all had horrible teachers and outstanding teachers. I believe that I am the latter. Over the years as a math tutor and instructor I have learned to be very patient and understanding. Allowing students to communicate their needs to an instructor is very important. But it is also very important that the instructor understands exactly what students need. I allow students to try problems on their own with the use of notes, textbooks, and/or online research first. This allows me to see what exactly they need assistance with. I want students to understand that it is okay to make mistakes because them making a mistake helps me to help better understand a math concept. I believe that my enthusiasm comes naturally because I enjoy teaching Math. This enthusiasm and energy helps to motivate students to do well and to also enjoy math. I also motivate my students by setting high expectations for them. Before any tutoring session begins I explain to them what is expected of them and what I will do to help them meet their expectations and goals. People ask me what makes me most proud. It is not my grades, exam scores, degree, or any personal accomplishment but it is the growth of my students that makes me most proud. I feel that I have completed my job with each struggling student when they are understanding the material better are doing better in math. I also enjoy seeing them be more confident about math.

I have more than 20 years of experience in education, including teaching grades K4 and tutoring students in grades K8. I hold both teaching and school counselor licensure in Nevada, Texas, and Michigan. My favorite subjects are math and science, and I enjoy helping students connect their learning to real-world experiences.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Spanish and minors in French and English. My Master's Degree was in Spanish Bi-lingual, Bi-cultural Education. I have a teaching certificate and according to the state of Michigan standards, I am "highly qualified" to teach Spanish, French and ESL k-12. I have taught students from kindergarten through the university level. In addition to working in public and private schools, I have taught language classes at the community college and university level as an adjunct instructor. One great part of my job is to help students who think that learning a foreign language is IMPOSSIBLE discover how easy it can be when they understand language patterns, have the right tools, and the right guidance!

My passion for teaching started when I was very young and I was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that causes letters and words to be transposed in my mind. I had to work very hard--my mother used flashcards over a long period--to develop my reading, and eventually I got up to speed enough to be a grade level. I knew then that teaching was a determining factor in what my mother had done for me, and moreover, what my life would eventually be about. I was very young then, and while dyslexia does not go away, I have achieved quite a bit despite it, attaining degrees in English, of all things, and composing lots of music and poetry over the years. My teaching philosophy--pedagogy, the pros call it--is student centered, where I try to engage the student where he/she is at, and then increase the rigor from there, utilizing a conversational and laid back and friendly style. Outside interests include playing jazz/rock fusion guitar and performing music at local open mics, listening to such artists as Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman, even taking the occasional gig or poetry reading, and reading, from fiction to poetry, and from philosophy to biographies.

I am a chemistry Ph.D. graduate of the Wayne State University. I have also been tutoring chemistry for more than six years. With my extensive experience, I'm able to help struggling students and improve their knowledge in various fields of chemistry. I enjoy teaching and seeing student's progress. During my spare time, I travel and read books.

I'm currently pursuing a degree in Neuroscience! My passion lies in empowering students to conquer challenging subjects like AP Biology, Chemistry, and standardized test preparation, including the SAT and PSAT. With over 3 years of tutoring experience, I have honed my ability to adapt my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring each student feels supported and confident. I believe in creating interactive sessions that transform learning into an engaging experience, where students not only grasp complex concepts but also develop the skills to tackle challenges independently. As a National Merit Scholar, I offer valuable insights into effective test strategies, helping students navigate the nuances of SAT math and reading. My goal is to inspire students to embrace their academic journey with enthusiasm and resilience.

Greetings! I am Hollie T. but the majority of my students call me Professor T. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and continued to complete a Master of Science in Basic Medical Sciences from a well know Medical School in my area. I have been teaching for what seems like, my entire life, starting with tutoring my classmates early in my college educational career. Fast forward 20+ years later and you may find me teaching biology department courses at any of our local colleges/universities, as an adjunct professor or guest instructor. During undergrad, I landed my first paid teaching role as a math tutor at the Math Lab (our tutoring center). Soon after, I was invited to the classroom setting as a teaching assistant for the biology teacher at large public high school in my city. It was then, that I fell in love with teaching! The age range with which I have the most experience is high school and above. The subjects I specialize in are Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Microbiology as well as Nursing School Entrance Exam Prep (HESI, TEAS). I also have expertise in subjects related to health and healthcare provision, such as, Intro to Health and Healthcare Ethics. I can even teach you how to study for other classes! My approach to helping students varies and is dependent on your individual needs. I start by asking a few clarifying questions about your academic situation, so that I can offer more personalized assistance. I teach my students the concepts they need and then follow up with offering resources to help you strengthen your understanding on your own. I have received 10s of letters, email, and small tokens of appreciation from many students over my 20+ years of teaching and tutoring. I look forward to helping you succeed!

I am a community college professor. My desire to teach was fully developed before I completed my first semester as a student and never diminished thereafter. To me teaching is more than a profession; my passion in life is sharing my knowledge with curious minds.

Currently I am working as a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Physics Creighton University, and am stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York. I also function as an adjunct associate professor of physics at Hofstra University. I started tutoring physics back in my home country, Sri Lanka, during my Bachelors degree. Since then I have been involved in tutoring with high school, freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students. The strongest reason why I am an excellent teacher is the fact that I truly love the subject. I have devoted over 12 years of my life to specialize in physics, thus I have a very clear understanding of the concepts and experienced in explaining those to students. I am a person with loads of patience, kindness and understanding specially when it comes to teaching. I am really good at coming up with real life examples to help student understand the important aspects of physics principles. Even though I have not taken the tests; SAT math and MCAT physics, I am very confident of tutoring the students who need assistance in both math and physics. As becoming a University Professor is my career goal, I am truly and honestly passionate about been engaged in teaching and mentoring students. Therefore I look forward to lend my helping hand towards students to prosper in their education, as well as to grow up as individuals whom will successfully coop with the responsibilities in our society. Other than been involved in teaching, I am a BIG fan of music and a great singer my self. I love travel, hiking and camping which makes me a nature lover too.

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.
