Hi everyone. I believe that learning should be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for everyone. I always try to teach my students from the ground up so that they can enjoy the problem solving process on their own. It's my job to make learning new content as easy and enjoyable as possible.

I love helping students learn and really understand the material. I make analogies and relate concepts to everyday life whenever possible. I have a sense of humor and always try to make learning fun. I love working one-on-one with students because I can see what concepts/topics are not understood and help build a strong foundation before moving on to harder topics.I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry and have been tutoring/teaching chemistry for 14 years. I was an instructor of general chemistry at Penn State University for several years before moving to Philadelphia. Over the years, I have garnered many general chemistry textbooks, exam question databanks and homework problems.In addition to tutoring college students all over the U.S. (online and in person), I have tutored high school students in chemistry (regular, honors, AP and IB). I have also worked with adult students who have returned to school.

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. I graduated with honors from New Trier Township High School in 2020. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, more specifically Algebra and Calculus, and Spanish. In high school, I was a math tutor at my school's resource center. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for tests and quizzes or understanding their homework, they always seem to have fun and gain more confidence in their ability to handle the subject. I am also a recipient of the Illinois Seal of Biliteracy for Spanish.

Hi! My aim is not just to teach your child how to "do" the work, but to also help them embrace the concepts as it relates to the world around them. Yes, I know that sounds lofty and sometimes you might be happy with just a better grade or test score. My belief is that if you understand "why" you are learning something (beyond the short term gratification) it makes the work and process of learning easier and more enjoyable. The goal of this approach is to enable the student to reach the measured (i.e. grades and test scores) levels of success faster and continue to want to learn going forward.A little about me: I am a graduate of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and have a MBA from the Zicklin School of Business. I spent 17 years in advertising rising to the position of Executive Vice President of Account Planning (Strategic Planning). The part of loved most about my job was mentoring young members of my team and teaching my clients how to better connect with consumers. Thus I decided to shift my career to education. That of course is where tutoring came in. My specialties are math and business and I'm driven by helping and witnessing young people have those moments when they discover learning doesn't have to "suck."

Hi! My name is Elena and I'm so excited to meet you soon!I've been a Kindergarten teacher for 4 years, I taught English in college at the University of Michigan, and I taught English in Chile, South America, for 1 year. Teaching English in Chile is really where I was inspired to become a full-time teacher, and use that passion to help others. I love meeting new people and learning about their walks of life and culture. I also love to chat, so I have many things ready for us to talk about and learn from one another. I'm a grammar nerd so I'm able to help with your English casually or more formally. I also speak Hebrew and Spanish, so I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language. There's no better way to learn, than to start!

I love tutoring students in math because it is a topic I enjoy myself and hold high value to moving into the future. I try to prompt the student to think about the different ways to complete problems and ensure that they clearly understand the problem and concept through the use of various examples. Outside of the classroom, I am heavily invested in sports and being active. I frequently work out and play sports such as basketball and soccer, but other than that I watch a lot of shows, read books, and love learning new recipes to cook. Looking forward to helping you achieve your goals and become successful!

I am a Flint, MI native who holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Georgia State University (GSU), a Master of Science in Pharmacology from the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor (UMICH), a Master of Science in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and am working on my PhD in Anatomy Education at The Ohio State University (OSU).I have been involved in teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students at both the post-secondary (primarily) and secondary levels for 8-years. While at GSU, I taught Anatomy and Physiology I and II (A&P) labs, I tutored for the TRIO Program (Biology I and II, Anatomy I and II, Advanced Human Physiology, and Biochemistry). Additionally, I served as a supplemental instructor for Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, and Anatomy and Physiology I and II. I also participated in teaching Anatomy and Biology to high school students on the UM-Flint campus during my time at UMICH. While at CWRU, I served as a Full-Time Biology Lecturer at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) teaching A&P and Introduction to Biological Chemistry. Following my time at Tri-C, I served as a Founding Teacher for the newest KIPP DC school Somerset College Prep teaching Statistics, Algebra II, and AP Biology.My experiences have made me a master of learning and my goal is to share the tools of masterful learning with students in hope that they will become more efficient learners, and better advocates for themselves in classrooms at every level.

I am a rising senior at the University of Michigan studying Economics and Mathematics.I've been tutoring part-time on and off for years- and I've worked with students of all ages on a large range of different subject material. Each student learns differently, but I'm very comfortable trying out different teaching strategies. Whether I'm working with a 10 year old on Algebra or a 24 year old on Differential Equations, I always make it work.

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 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 graduated from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) in 2023 with a strong background in molecular, cellular and developmental biology. I have five years of experience tutoring students ranging from middle school- college age with great results, particularly in science & math.

I am double alum, bachelor and master's degree, of the University of Michigan. I primarily tutor math for middle and high school students as I have a passion for the subject being a former high school math team member. As a teacher, I try to make math understandable by using real world examples that the student can relate to. I believe that is is my job to teach the material in a variety of different ways in order to help the student to understand. Teaching undergraduate students while completing my masters degree gave me a lot of experience working with students with different learning styles and academic backgrounds.

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.

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!

Currently pursuing degrees in Economics and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. I've been through the ACT and SAT ringer and would love to help with prep. I also specialize in tutoring Math (up to pre-calc), Economics, and History.

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 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 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 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.

As a college student, I know that academic material can be really difficult to understand. However, over the years I've learned that it is always best to reach out to others for help and to use as many resources possible to help you succeed. That is why I've decided to become a tutor; I want to help others succeed and motivate them as well.I have worked as a teacher at Kumon Math and Reading Center for two years, and I really enjoyed connecting with the students there. I believe that I've made a real impact there, and I want to continue making change through Varsity Tutors. I acquired my high school diploma from Detroit Country Day School, and I am currently pursuing my B.S.E. in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I'm also pursuing an Art and Design minor!I teach a wide variety of subjects, but my favorite one is math because I love to problem solve! In general, my teaching style is very interactive and communicative, and I always encourage students to ask questions. I make sure that the student's voice is heard as I am teaching them the material.
