Award-Winning Tutors from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

After graduating from Rutgers University in Camden, NJ with my Master's degree in English, I taught at Williamstown Middle School for two years, and then at Livingston School in New Brunswick, NJ for three years. I worked with sixth through eighth grade students at these schools and learned the value of strong classroom management and differentiated instruction. While successful in my positions, I felt that there was even more that I could learn about being an effective teacher, as I never had the opportunity to student teach. Therefore, when I was offered an opportunity to shift to the New York City charter school system, I jumped at the chance. The three-week training program for Achievement First schools taught me more ways to manage my classroom and differentiate instruction, and also taught me how to create very effective lesson plans, the true value of purposeful assessments, and how to generate those. I even learned how to properly analyze my students' results in order to determine which skills I needed to re-teach and which skills I simply needed to review. When I shifted to Bushwick Ascend Middle School, not only was I able to continue with my learning of how to become an even better teacher, but I was also given the opportunity to be a Grade Team Leader, where I evaluated other teachers' lesson plans, and provided those teachers with feedback about their lesson plans and their actual lessons.Due to personal reasons, I chose to remain closer to home and began working as an Adjunct Professor at local colleges. Working with college students for two years showed me that I truly wanted to be back in the classroom full-time. Therefore, I accepted a position at Columbia High School as a one-year leave replacement within the English department. I taught ninth and tenth grade English, where I focused on writing instruction and assisting the students in preparing for the PARCC exam. While I enjoyed teaching at Columbia High School, I found my place at Maria L. Varisco-Rogers Charter School in Newark, NJ teaching seventh and eighth grade Language Arts and Writing.

I am a junior from Pittsburgh at the University of Michigan! I am studying Data Science in the College of Engineering. Math and science are certainly my favorite subjects, but I also scored very well on the reading and writing sections on the SAT and ACT. In the past, I have greatly enjoyed being a Judaic Studies teacher for kids ages 8-16 at my summer camp and tutored 6th and 7th graders in elementary computer programming. I am passionate about teaching because I realize how important it is to get individualized attention, and I remember the stressful period of junior-senior year with college applications.Outside of school, I like to read, listen to music, watch sports, and watch movies and Netflix. I am a diehard Steelers fan. My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. My favorite music artists are Kendrick Lamar and Drake. My favorite movies are Shawshank Redemption and The Sixth Sense. My favorite TV series are Breaking Bad and Westworld.

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.

Hi! My name is Krisha Patel, and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I received my high school diploma from Northville High School with a perfect 4.0 GPA. I have been tutoring students for many years now in topics such as math, science, and Spanish. It is my goal to create a personalized plan for my students to help them best succeed in whatever they desire.

Hi! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor pursuing a dual degree in psychology and exercise science to study sports psychology! I like to curate my teaching style for each student based on what works best for them. I firmly believe that not everyone has the same learning approach, so I want to ensure that you are passing your classes and attaining new information that you can use in the future. I understand what it's like to struggle in some aspects of school, and I am more than happy to share how I cope with difficult subjects and information. As a high schooler, I have tutored in the past, teaching ages from 4-18 years old. I can tutor a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, but the social sciences, hard sciences, and English are where I excelled the best.

I am senior at the University of Michigan studying robotics and electrical engineering. I have worked as a robotics teacher for elementary students and I have several years of tutoring and teaching experience. While I tutor primarily in math, I also have experience using robotics as a tool to teach other subjects in order to engage students who love STEM from an early age without letting them fall behind in reading or grammar. Having been a student during the pandemic and a tutor through all stages of reopening, I understand how difficult it can be to learn online, so I make it a priority to be animated and engaging, going back to basics if necessary, and leave my students more comfortable to tackle problems on their own by the end of a session.

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 currently a biology, health, and society major at the University of Michigan.I have a significant amount of tutoring experience from my jobs as a physics learning assistant and a middle school science tutor.My approach to tutoring is that every student is different, so it is important to try different approaches and applications. Every student is capable of mastering a subject, but they all learn differently.In my free time, I like to read, play the guitar, sing, and bake.

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

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.

A recent graduate of the University of Michigan's College of Engineering with a B.S.E. in computer science and seeking to apply knowledge in math and computer science to help younger students.

After graduating with my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me.Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do.I hope you, too, will learn with me.

Hi guys! I am Rahul and I am a rising sophomore at the University of Michigan. I am eager to help you guys in any standardized tests and computer science.

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 from The Bronx High School of Science and I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Data Science at Northwestern University. I have been tutoring for around 4 years and I have experience working with students from a variety of different backgrounds and all different academic levels. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English. I am not only limited to subject work and standardized tests, but I can also help with crafting college applications and personal statements.

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!

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

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

I'm a college student attending the University of Michigan and I'm majoring in chemistry and computer science. I have two years of extensive experience tutoring high schoolers in chemistry and all subjects of the SAT and ACT. I can also say that I understand completely how difficult the process of test prep and high school chemistry can be because I recently survived the whole process myself having taken IB chem and the ACT/SAT in the last 1-2 years and studying and prepping extensively for them. That being said, I'm always super eager not just to tutor students in those subjects, but also to offer the best advice and guidance I can in tackling those challenges as a high schooler and as someone planning for college. I believe it's super important as a tutor not just to spoon-feed answers but to teach how to problem-solve, so I take care to solidify our understanding of the methods to approach a problem. Most of all, I try to be as flexible and communicative as possible.

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

I am a master Industrial & Operations Engineering graduate (Lean Six Sigma and Supply chain management concentration) from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Currently, I work at the University of Michigan Health System - Ann Arbor as a Management Engineer Consultant.Teaching has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother being a French teacher, it was no surprise that I enjoyed teaching growing up.My career goal is getting my PhD after acquiring some years of experience and becoming a University faculty. To deepen my knowledge in the education industry, I actively started pursuing learning opportunities in these areas. I worked as a teacher's assistant throughout my undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Michigan, took an active role in an Industrial Engineering Honor Society (Alpha Pi Mu) in which I tutored and advised Industrial Engineering peers and was part of the University of Michigan Boxing Team and thought peers boxing Technics.In addition, my current position at the University of Michigan Health System has provided me with exceptional experience in this field.

I have lived all over the country and just moved back to Michigan after four years away. It’s great to be back, especially in time for the fall! I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in sociology in 2006 and again with an MSW (Masters in Social Work) in 2011; Go Blue! I am a social worker with over 10 years of nonprofit experience working with children and youth. I specialize in art and education programming and have worked with kids of all ages in a number of roles: tutor, mentor, nanny, assistant teacher, camp counselor, and program manager. My most recent position was as a Teacher Caregiver for a family in Chicagoland. Among my responsibilities, I provided daily homework help and academic tutoring for three kids ages 5, 9, and 11. Before that, I ran a tutoring and homework help after school program in Seattle for Somali refugees.Now that I’m back in Michigan I’m looking for individual students to tutor in a range of subjects. I’m comfortable with elementary and middle school math, language arts, study and organizational skills, Spanish, general homework help, and ISEE and SSAT prep. I’m also comfortable with ELL/ESL tutoring for all ages and some high school language arts and elective subjects (e.g. psychology). Please inquire for more details.

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 am currently a student at the University of Michigan studying Material Science and Engineering. I am very passionate about math and helping people to understand math and its importance even in non-STEM fields. I also have a lot of experience working with students that have learning differences.

Hi there! I'm a certified science teacher with degrees in Biology, Health & Society and Secondary Education from the University of Michigan, along with a Teaching Certificate in Integrated Science. I've been tutoring since high school, and I've also had the joy of teaching 6th- and 7th-grade science, which has given me a real understanding of what students need to feel supported and confident. Beyond science, I'm also confident in tutoring math, Spanish, and test-prep for students from elementary school all the way through college. I love breaking things down in a way that actually makes sense and helps students feel proud of themselves. I truly believe every student can learn; you just need someone in your corner who's patient, passionate, and willing to adjust to your learning style. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, exploring new ideas, and growing at your own pace. I'm excited to help you succeed!

University of Michigan graduate, Paralegal who works with immigrant children of all ages. I have a passion for teaching a variety of interesting subjects and problems.

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!

University of Michigan (BS Economics) grad and incoming M1 with MCAT. I earned 8 medical school interviews and multiple acceptances, so I know what it takes to score high on test day and present a winning application.

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

I have acted, directed, and produced hundreds of plays and am a published playwright. I am experienced managing training programs for young artists. I love to see students explore their limits, to challenge them to achieve beyond their expectations, and to imagine and create new expressions. I like teaching English, History, Philosophy, Comparative Religion, and Theatre. I believe that the division between the humanities and the sciences is arbitrary: learning depends on observation, attention to detail, and a feel for beauty and truth. I have guided many students, both gifted and remedial, as a teacher and tutor. In addition to loving the outdoors, I also teach Tai Chi and meditation, enjoy gardening, reading, and a good game of chess.

I have twelve years of experience in the education and social work field(s). In addition to my years as an educator (ELA/English), I have experience doing both, individual and group tutoring; all focusing on writing enhancement, communication, ELA, English, Testing, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Before teaching and working in the social service/work field, I received a BA from the University of Michigan (Psychology/Sociology). I am currently attending Strayer University to obtain a Masters Degree in Business Administration. In addition to my professional and educational background, I have published three books as well; all focusing on relationship building, education, family matters, history, and social matters.I enjoy traveling, reading, writing, and the outdoors.

I am a teacher committed to helping students reach their potential.
