Award-Winning Tutors from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

I am a student at the University of Michigan. I enjoy a variety of sports from soccer to volleyball and I also love to dance. I am studying electrical engineering.

I am currently a junior studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. Although I am not working towards an education degree, I enjoy helping fellow classmates and tutoring students in subjects where they may not feel confident in. I have the most experience in tutoring middle schoolers, and comfortable with high schoolers as well. In college, I volunteer from time to time to work with high school students who come to our organization to ask for help. Additionally, I am the oldest child in my family. I am used to helping my younger sister and brother who are two to three years younger than me with their homework. The subjects I mainly tutor in is mathematics and science. For math, I enjoy tutoring middle school math, different levels of algebra, and pre-calculus to differential calculus. For science, I can help in chemistry and physics. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I find it to be very logical and programs are very systematic. I am a visual learner myself, so I tend to use as much graphics tools as needed for the student. I also am very straightforward with my teaching style, especially in mathematics. However, I always ask my students how they learn things in school and am open to help them understand it in a way they would remember the material.Outside of the academia, I enjoy being outdoors and playing sports, like ultimate frisbee. I ran cross-country in high school, and continue to run long distance today as a hobby. Additionally, I like to hang out with friends, whether its shopping, watching movies, or just chatting.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan majoring in Environmental Engineering to learn as much as possible to make a positive impact on the planet and society. I believe that a strong understanding of the principles that govern our world empowers us to make meaningful change. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in mathematics subjects, including Algebra, AP Calculus, and Statistics. I am excited to tutor students so they can gain the knowledge and skills they need to achieve their goals and tackle life's challenges.

I have a lot of experience in tutoring individuals from the elementary school age all the way up to adults, in subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus. I have previously worked as a tutor with other organizations in both a group and one-on-one tutoring atmosphere. I am patient and can easily identify what pace each student would like to work at. I cater my tutoring to the student's pace so that they get the most out of each session.I love tutoring because I know how important it is. I took tutoring sessions myself when I was in high school to prep for AP and ACT exams. Those sessions really helped me, and that is what inspired me to become a tutor and help others. I also have a huge passion for math. I have loved and excelled at it since elementary school. I'm doing a minor in mathematics at college because I enjoy the subject so much.I try to make sure my students walk away with something from each session. I hold myself to high standards which constantly allows me to grow as a tutor.I am excited to hear from you and help you achieve whatever goals you may have! If you feel I'm the right tutor for you, don't hesitate to request me as your tutor!

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.

I have a PhD in language and literature from Kent State University. I have an MFA from the University of Michigan and as both a writer, theorist and part-time faculty member suffice it to say that I am fascinated by all things pertaining to language.

I have an undergraduate degree in accounting, as well as an MBA. I currently work as a fractional COO for software company and am working on starting a company. Most of my career has been as a consultant or small business executive. I have also done some part time work, tutoring and teaching business topics at various times. My teaching philosophy is to bring the student along by steadily asking them to do more and more of the actual problem solving as we progress. My goal is to not only have the student do well in the particular course but to actually understand the topic in a way that will help them in their career. I enjoy applying whatever we are studying in an environment that the student can relate to.

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.

Hi! I'm a senior at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business looking for a small side hustle.

I love traveling, spending time with family, friends, and pets, and reading great new literature

Hello, my name is Andrew, and I just graduated from St. Mary's Preparatory: a small, all-boys, prep school in Orchard Lake, Michigan. Next year I will be attending the University of Michigan: Ann Arbor with an intended major in Biology with a minor or double major in Spanish. Unlike many older tutors, I know what it is like to be a struggling high school student in today's world. I understand how much pressure you are under to get the score you need to be admitted into your dream school, and I am here to help you reach that score! I also understand how tedious college essays can be, and how important they are. I know the mechanics behind writing a strong admissions essay and the power of proofreading!For those students not quite ready for college applications, I can also tutor in Spanish 1,2,3 and English/Grammar. I have been taking Spanish classes for twelve years and have never received below an A: something I attribute to my deep interest in the language. I love the Spanish language and culture, and I love to share that passion with others. I know that Spanish class can be boring and extremely confusing at times, but with a little enthusiasm it can also become one of your favorite classes. I hope to hear from you soon!

I am a Nationally Board Certified high school English teacher with 11 years of teaching experience.

I have taught 9th grade English and Reading, 10th grade English, and just finished my 3rd year teaching AP Language and Composition. I have extensive experience preparing students for the ACT English and Reading exams, the SAT Reading and Writing/Language exams, and the AP Language and Composition exam. I am passionate about helping students to become more confident readers and writers, and I believe in the power of literacy to open minds and transform lives. I know firsthand how important it is for students to receive one-on-one support from an expert, and I truly enjoy working with young people. I strongly believe that every single student has the ability to learn and grow. Outside of education, I enjoy reading and writing for fun, as well as dancing, swimming, and spending time with my family, fianc, and scruffy rescue pup.

Hello! I'm Mariyah, a medical student from Michigan. I've been tutoring for around 10 years and have experience tutoring for the SAT, ACT, MCAT, IB/AP subjects, (including calculus, algebra, literature, physics, etc) and medical school courses. I also do essay review and college application/medical school application prep. I also do tutoring for younger children/elementary-middle school age.

I am a graduate from University of Michigan's College of Engineering. Since graduation, I have worked in strategy consulting and private equity. Despite a career in consulting, I was able to take the GMAT and score in the 98th percentile. I am eager to share the strategies, resources and test-taking habits that worked best for me with students interested in taking this exam. I can provide a solid foundation, and help students improve their scores across all sections (Quant, Verbal, AWA, IR for GMAT and SAT Math) - during my preparation, I provided guidance to my colleagues and friends to achieve their target scores.

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 the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in History and minors in Spanish and Computer Science. I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy supporting students who may need translation support or assistance with Spanish coursework. Since 2018, I have served as a high school reading comprehension and essay writing tutor, a History student teacher, and an ESL high school tutor to multiple students. During my full-time job as an editor, I also work with students and others to improve their writing skills. I am well-equipped to help with English, History, Spanish and Math tutoring needs. I believe learning to appreciate the humanities can lead to a more rich and fulfilling life, but educators need to make it a priority to make reading and writing instruction accessible to their students. I understand how frustrating it can be when students receive loads of information without having an opportunity to test and reinforce their knowledge. My main priority when working with a student is to empower them as learners. If we are working on an essay together, I will be making sure they know how to create a strong outline and nail the structure down. I have seen firsthand how giving students the building blocks they need to solve problems on their own makes them more confident and knowledgeable both inside and outside the classroom.

I am currently a graduate student at Oakland University studying experimental psychology. Since my ultimate goal is to become a professor someday, teaching experience and helping others learn is extremely important to me.

I have degrees in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Secondary Science Education, variously from the University of Toledo and the University of Michigan. I've been teaching and tutoring science for about 20 years, at the high school and the college levels. Subjects I've taught include chemistry, physics, biology, and earth science. In addition, I have co-authored a college general chemistry textbook. My particular joy is in teaching chemistry. Chemistry builds from one topic to another, and seeing students make those leaps that build their knowledge during a session is special. In general, all sciences stack similar building blocks of understanding in this same way.

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.

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 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.

I graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in 2019 with a double major in Political Science and French and a minor in Translation Studies. Upon graduation, I moved to France on a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship, where I remain currently as a university English teacher. I have experience tutoring students as young as 5 and as old as 40, and I strive to tailor each lesson to individual academic goals and learning styles; subjects I have tutored before include French (beginner to advanced), English for English learners, and SAT/ACT prep. I am also very passionate about helping students through the college application process. As a first-generation college student, my commitment to education stems from my personal understanding of how much a quality, supported education has improved my own life. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me painting, training for a race, or exploring France with my friends.

I graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a Master's in English last year. As a graduate student, I designed and taught English classes for two years, and I have experience with teaching both in the classroom and in one-on-one settings. I enjoy teaching a wide variety of subjects, but especially literature, history, and math. As a teacher, I always focus on meeting students where they're at and providing them with what the tools they, personally, need to succeed. When it comes to test preparation specifically, I like to cut to the chase very quickly to determine what students most need help with, be it subject knowledge, time management, or an ability to recognize patterns in the 'tricks' that test writers use to mislead students. My hope is that this approach allows me to help you in a way that is immediately useful while also imparting knowledge that might aid you in the long term.

I am a second-year student at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and I am in the College of Engineering. I am not exactly sure as to what I want to do after College, but I do know that I would like to do something that involves Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. In High School, I would teach/tutor elementary school students at a tutoring center in Chicago called Ivy Garden. I tutor many High School Math and Science subjects (including AP courses) as well as Math and Science test prep for the ACT. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Physics because they are applicable with many things in your daily life. I am inspired to tutor those who are struggling in Math and Science courses because people are very discouraged while studying these subjects and I feel that, with the proper instruction, not only will people get better at those subjects; but they will become more confident in themselves. I believe that understanding something conceptually is ten times more valuable than knowing how to use an equation and I like using real world examples when I am tutoring. On my free time I enjoy playing NBA 2K and actual basketball.

I am a student at the University of Michigan College of Engineering studying Computer Science. I tutor a broad range of subjects. Throughout my education, I have always had a passion for math and science and I always enjoyed helping my friends and others learn more about the world we live in and how to solve problems. I think getting good grades and scores is important, but real understanding is deeper and more rewarding, which is what I am trying to instill in these I help.

I am a graduate student at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I am completing my masters degree in Conservation Ecology. My research topic is agroecology, specifically how carbon and nitrogen ratios in from shade trees in coffee agroecosystems influence ground-dwelling ant communities. My over-arching theme is decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems and I got about answering questions about this in various ways (e.g. ants). At the University of Michigan, I have served as a graduate student instructor in two courses both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Having the opportunity to teach and mentor students at those levels is very exciting. Nevertheless, I love to introduce students all levels of new concepts and ideas. I most enjoy teaching/tutoring concepts of ecology, biology, chemistry, and environmental science. I am also a native Spanish speaker, hence tutoring Spanish lessons comes naturally to me. I am committed to helping move beyond their barriers and excel in their education. When I am not in the laboratory, I enjoy running, hiking and training with my dog.

I am a 23-year retired insurance industry professional with experience in training and instructing licensed sales and service representatives. I am also a substitute K-6 teacher with National Heritage Academies based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I first encountered the need and concept of tutoring while being a student at the University of Michigan. The use of a tutor helped me to get through my most difficult courses. To be able to help others in this regard is truly rewarding.

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.

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'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!

I am a graduate of Cornell University college of engineering and a native Mandarin Chinese speaker fluent in both Chinese and English. I moved to the US when I was 9 years old. I am warm, attentive, and love to use humor and creativity in my tutoring. I have 2 young kids of my own and especially passionate about working with children in preschool to elementary school who are interested in Chinese language and culture. I also have deep experience in the business world so can guide adults in learning Mandarin for business and travel.Additionally I love writing and literature and enjoy working with high-schoolers in perfecting their college admissions essays. I also have a background in engineering and can provide tutoring in elementary through college level math and science subjects.

I hold two graduate degrees from Kettering University. I seek to provide my students with superb services in an effort to see them thrive and succeed!

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 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 graduated from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) with a BA in Classical Civilizations. After graduation, I have worked as a classical languages, writing, and literature tutor, teaching students ranging from middle schoolers to doctoral candidates. I am also a junior high Latin teacher at St. Norbert School. While I love helping students with any language-related subject (in fact, I truly enjoy analyzing English grammar!), I am most passionate about teaching Latin. I find it extremely gratifying when my students realize that a so-called "dead" language can actually be relevant to their lives! When tutoring Latin, I like to focus on using various strategies to help students "read with expectations, " meaning that students engage in linear reading (reading left-to-right, without skipping around), and approach texts with a notion of what makes a sentence complete. More generally, as a tutor, I am very patient and flexible, always keeping a student's goals and motivations in mind when planning and teaching lessons.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy various hobbies: reading contemporary fiction, visiting museums, taking bike rides, and spending time with my pet rabbit!

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!
