I'm a fourth year medical student in Michigan and an avid learner. I have years of tutoring and mentoring experience from high school and undergrad. My expertise lies in the sciences, as well as standardized exams such as ACT and MCAT. I can also help students with essay writing, whether for English classes or for college/graduate school applications. Often students get perplexed by complex ideas that can often be broken down into much simpler parts. I am here to help with that. Everyone has different ways of learning and through my experience, I've learned how to work with that for the benefit of the student.

Who Wants To Increase Your Understanding Of Lessons, Get Better Grades, And Ace The Test?As a graduate of Oakland University, I studied topics as diverse as the biological, psychosocial, psychological, nutritional, socio-cultural, economic, philosophical, legal, ethical, environmental, community and public health determinants of health and disease, as well as learned effective sampling methods and statistical interpretation of results.I was a teaching assistant for the anatomy and physiology cadaver lab, and have tutored other subjects such as math, reading, biology, and essay writing and proofreading.My favorite subjects to tutor are writing and proofreading because I enjoy showing people how to communicate their ideas better and more forcefully.I try to meet students where they are. I may start with a bit of review then move on to something new. I like to give students the opportunity to solve problems on their own, so they familiarize themselves with the PROCESS more than just merely deriving correct answers.

I'm a current senior undergraduate student majoring in Biomedical Sciences who recently took the MCAT. I scored a 520 (131/126/131/132) when I took the exam this summer, self-studying for only 3 months and starting from a 502 diagnostic score. I was able to balance a job, volunteering, STEM tutoring, and my MCAT studying over this period.I specialize in tutoring all of C/P and B/B (primarily biochemistry).

I worked one-on-one with my fellow undergraduates to help improve them their writing in a variety of courses including humanities, religion, recreation management, and English. I also helped tutor new writing tutors as they came into the program through my position as a teaching assistant. I love to empower hesitant writers to come up with their own ideas and write using their own words. Helping students with reading comprehension and literature is also my favorite. When I am not reading, writing, and tutoring, you can find me outside hiking, practicing yoga, or navigating through whitewater rapids, most recently with my new husband.

I have a Elementary teaching degree as well as a Special Education teaching degree with endorsements in cognitive impairment and autism spectrum disorder. I have been teaching for 9 years and I love to help students learn, especially when they are struggling. I enjoy the challenge of finding new and different approaches that fit each individuals strengths and interests. One of my own children has Autism. I have been fortunate to be able to learn from my experiences as a parent in my teaching.

Knowledge is power. This is very true. And the more knowledge one has, the more power they obtain. My goal, as a tutor, is to take this knowledge I have and transfer it to someone else. Thus, creating a very powerful environment.

I earned my B.S. in Elementary Education with a Language Arts endorsement from Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Shortly after graduation I moved to Arizona to teach fourth grade. I taught an inclusive fourth grade classroom for four school years. In the classroom I was responsible for teaching all subjects (Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Health, and Social Studies). I was also responsible to help my students be prepared to take and pass the 4th grade AIMS standardized test. In addition to teaching I stayed after school to tutor students that were struggling in math and/or reading two times a week.During my third year of teaching I went back to school to earn my Master's degree. I have since graduated from Arizona State University with a Masters of Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. Once I earned my Master's degree, I resigned from teaching in public school and now work with children with autism 1:1 in their home and community (including school).Even though I have experience in all subject areas, I am most passionate about math, reading and writing up to the 6h grade level.Though I do not work specifically for schools anymore, I am still passionate about education.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Linguistics and Chinese Language, an academic background that strongly shapes my approach to tutoring. Linguistics has given me a deep understanding of how language is learned and the different challenges students face, allowing me to tailor my teaching style to each student's individual needs rather than relying on a one size fits all approach. My favorite subjects to tutor are reading and Mandarin. With reading, I focus on building strong comprehension skills, confidence, and a genuine enjoyment and understanding of the text. In Mandarin, my study abroad experience in Taiwan and overall knowledge of Chinese language studies allows me to support students with pronunciation, tones, vocabulary, and cultural context, while also empathizing with the challenges of learning a second language. Above all, I am highly dedicated to seeing my students succeed. I closely track progress and help students advocate for themselves and their learning experience. I adapt new strategies as needed and strive to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students feel confident asking questions and growing at their own pace.

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.

I am a current doctoral student, studying Educational Leadership. Additionally, I am a Dean at a middle/high school. I hold a Master's in Special Education and a Bachelor's in Journalism. I believe that all students can learn, but the teaching strategies should vary. I enjoy teaching and tutoring because it is a chance to open academic doors and turn on the light for students.My areas of tutoring includes English (Reading/Writing) - elementary, middle, high school, college and other adult learners; social studies, college essays and PSAT, SAT and ACT prep.Additionally, I have taught College English and Writing for more than five years.My background includes extensive writing experience, as I have also worked as a journalist and public relations professional.Outside of academia, I really enjoy cooking, baking and football.

Every student learns in their own unique way. My passion is to discover that learning style and to customize my teaching style in order to fit that unique student. A student who struggles with a certain subject does not necessarily mean lack of ability; it may simply mean that the student is being taught in a manner that is incompatible with his/her learning style. The key is to deliver the material and concepts in a way that is compatible with the student. Next it is encourage and affirm the student as he/she begins to understand what was once unclear."The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn" Ralph Waldo Emerson

I find joy in helping students grasp challenging concepts and discover the answers to their questions. Outside of academics, I enjoy coaching gymnastics, which has enhanced my ability to connect with students of all ages. My goal is to foster a supportive and motivating environment where every student can succeed. I love reading in my spare time!

As a teacher, I believe that all children are good. With positive guidance and positive learning experiences, children have the opportunity to display their best qualities. Although some students may not have the same capabilities as another, each should be give equal opportunities in the classroom and school environment. Individual as well as group planning is necessary to account for a multiple of learning strategies. Critical thinking and hands on experience are important in facilitating learning. Together with parents, community and staff I want to help students acquire the fundamental knowledge to prepare themselves for the future.

In high school, I participated in a co-op experience which allowed me to student teach in two different classrooms my senior year. I taught 2nd grade and 5th grade and fell in love with the difference I was able to make. I ended up taking a bit of a different route in college, but that passion has not left me. I also taught competitive and recreational dance classes for about 8 years, so I have had great and versatile opportunities to influence and inspire students. I hope to continue to help students better understand and thrive in their classes through tutoring with Varsity Tutors.

I have a life-long commitment to education. I believe that, as an educator, I possess a unique form of authority; and the natural purpose of authority is to empower the steward of that authority to lead others to fulfillment. Thus, I have regarded my position as an educator with the utmost respect, as I have come to understand the importance of every moment I have with my students.Every lesson, interaction, assessment, project, and class discussion has the potential to bring each student one step closer to achieving their goals. When I do see my students achieve the success they seek, it is a profound moment, as these individuals commonly overcome academic and personal barriers.As an educator, I am committed to serving my students, community, and institutions. I am constantly seeking ways to improve and expand my present skill set so that I can maximize my potential, and the potential of my students in-and-out of the classroom. I have a rich interdisciplinary approach to teaching, and experience using a wide range of teaching styles and modalities.

I have taught as a math instructor and tutor for the last few years. I began tutoring mathematics as an undergrad in the math learning center at Michigan Tech, where I earned my BS in Applied Math. I then started teaching as a graduate assistant at Oakland University, where I earned my MS in the Spring of 2014. My goal is to help any individual, no matter the age, succeed in mathematics.

I am very fortunate to be able to tutor students. There is no better feeling than to see the "light bulb" go on during a session. After building rapport, especially with reluctant learners, I always stay positive and compliment my students on even the smallest gain in understanding. Certainly, a little light-hearted humor goes a long way! In addition, I spend a lot of time preparing customized lessons, and being sure I present material in a variety of ways, so that a student's learning style is supported. Also, I remain flexible with booking sessions, and keep communication with parents/guardians open, honest, and frequent. I also teach study skills and techniques to students to help them become lifelong learners. Ultimately, my goal is to help students feel more confident, raise self-esteem, and become more successful.

I love teaching and helping others learn. I am able to help explain complex topics in a simple, a relatable way.

I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering.Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework.

I can not wait to meet you!

Hi everyone! My name is Mackenzie and I'm from Michigan. I'm currently supervising a caseload of clients at a small practice. I've received both a BCaBA and BCBA credential and have lots of great study tips. I've worked in a variety of settings, so I will have lots of examples for real-life application as well. One of my biggest beliefs is differentiating instruction that best fits your learning style, so I'm more than willing to help in any way that helps you achieve your goal. Let's get studying!

Learning a new language can be quite confusing and frustrating! With over 7 years of German education and a Bachelors of Arts in German language and literature, International Relations, and a minor in history, I have learned several tricks, acronyms, and fun tips to make learning German not only easier, but also more interesting and enjoyable.As a daughter of Polish political refugees, I understand how difficult/confusing it can be trying to not only understand a foreign language, but also convert one's thoughts from their native language to another. I can help students find similarities between English, German, and even Polish to help learning the new language much easier.Due to the fact that both Polish and English are my native language (I was exposed to both since birth), I've grown to not only understand, but also appreciate the fine details in grammar that enable people to coherently understand one another. I am more than happy to help students improve in their English and/or German grammar as well!Aside from my educational background and love for languages, my passion is rooted in martial arts. I have a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and black belts in Choi Kwang Do and Hup Kwon Do. Additionally, I have trained in other styles. In my 12 years of martial arts training, I have taught students ages 3-63 and enjoy every minute of it! If anyone is ever interested in martial arts, whether it be simple self defense techniques just to feel safer on the streets, or pursuing a long-term goal of achieving a black belt, I would be extremely delighted to help students reach their goals!!
