Award-Winning Tutors from Wayne State University

Teaching is a lifelong calling that continuously evolves alongside modern technology and digital tools. With more than 20 years of experience as an educator, ELA Coach, and Coordinator, I specialize in supporting exceptional students, including those who are gifted, on the autism spectrum, or simply in need of targeted learning support. I hold a Master's Degree in Special Education, an Autism Certification, and advanced training in foundational phonics. By building highly individualized lessons that tap into each child's unique interests and preferences, I ensure that learning feels relevant, fun, and engaging. I am a confident, positive, and supportive educator dedicated to taking a 'whole-child' approach with patience, ensuring your student learns in an environment where they truly feel seen, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Hello there! I am a Michigan certified K-5th teacher for all subjects and a K-8th math and Spanish teacher. At the time I am a Spanish teacher, but a part of me misses working with numbers.In the past, I have worked with K - 8th students for various academic subjects. My Spanish experience is K - 12th. I am fluent in Spanish and practice it everyday with friends and family.

I have 2 bachelors degrees from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.The first was a B.A. in Mathematics. The second was a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.I have 2 years of part - time tutoring experience, as well as coaching middle school football.I enjoy tutoring elementary and middle school math as well as reading and writing. I believe these are the building blocks for all future education and; if a student has a firm foundation in these areas, they should be able to more easily cope with future learning / educational experiences, whether in a school or workplace environment.I equally enjoy teaching both math and reading / writing.If a student has trouble reading or writing, they will probably always have trouble understanding things and being able to properly communicate with others.And being comfortable with math will help students be better able to analyze and solve non-math problems, whether personal or work environment, that they will encounter later on. They will be better able to think analytically.My tutoring style is to help students to think analytically. What is being asked? What information do you have? Do you have enough info. to solve the problem? Do you need to get more information? How can you get that info?Similar questions would apply to help a student with reading. What is the author talking about? Do you understand what you read? Would you like to read more articles / books like this? Why or why not?I enjoy tutoring because I like to help people. I was not a gifted student and had to work REALLY hard to get good grades. Hence, I can relate to a student who is struggling and doesn't easily "see" something. I am willing to try different approaches to help a student "see the light".My personal interests include travel, reading and exercise. I have exercised my entire life and continue to do so now. I believe that exercise is the "fountain of youth"!I have traveled to Asia, Europe and much of the US.I also enjoy reading. I have trouble keeping up with the magazines I get, as well as books I would like to read!And, of course, there are some interesting shows I watch on TV.I try to stay active, informed and in good health.I hope you found what I have written to be interesting and I hope that I will be able to help you.

I am a senior at Wayne State University pursuing a bachelors degree in Economics with a minor in Public Health. I am also a pre-med student, and I expect to begin medical school July 2018.

I have over 12 years of experience in financial services, including working as a financial advisor and helping clients with investments, insurance, and financial planning. Because I've worked directly in the industry, I bring practical insight to the material covered on FINRA licensing exams. My goal as a tutor is to make complex topics simple and understandable. I break down challenging concepts into clear explanations and real-world examples so students can confidently understand the materialnot just memorize it. I also help students prepare for the exam itself by focusing on common question patterns, test strategy, and efficient study techniques. Passing a FINRA exam can open the door to a rewarding career in finance, and I enjoy helping students build the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed.

I have eight years of experience teaching and tutoring Science, Math, and English to students ranging from middle school to college. I graduated with my PhD in Molecular Biology/Microbiology in 2020 from Wayne State University. During my graduate studies I taught undergraduate Introductory Biology Labs. I also served as a lead lecturer for Microbiology for one semester. Prior to graduate school, I received my BSc in Biology from University of Michigan, Dearborn in 2014. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored peers primarily in Biology and English courses. I also taught swim lessons to children of all ages for 5 years. I have worked with several ESL students, especially in English, Reading, and Writing. I also worked extensively with a peer who was visually impaired, which allowed me to come up with creative teaching strategies, such as building a cardboard model of a cell instead of looking at a cell through a microscope. Additionally, I have a 4-year old son with autism, have a deep understanding of his learning struggles, and have learned a wide variety of strategies to help him learn at his full potential. Thank you for taking the time to read about by background; I am excited to begin working with you!

I have a Bachelor's of English and History from Lake Superior State University, a Master's in Literature from Central Michigan University, and a PhD in Rhetoric and Composition from Wayne State University. Since obtaining my PhD, I am certified work as director the writing center at Wayne State University and professor of undergraduate and graduate courses in the English department and Interdisciplinary studies. My professional and teaching experiences has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of students-from students in the nursing field, the radiology department, STEM, English, and beyond. I am also a chair or member of diverse committees at Wayne State University dedicated to student support, reading and writing initiatives, inclusivity and diversity, and interdisciplinary studies. I have experience teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects and levels of education, but am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Writing in the Disciplines, Standardized Tests, Personal Statements, and College Applications, as that is my area of expertise. As a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I am a firm believer that anyone can learn, anyone can write, and anyone can be successful. I recognize that students or clients have prior experiences and knowledge that is unique to them and should be honored. Teaching and tutoring is one of my primary passions in life. I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of students with varied needs and strengths and have found great joy in collaborating, exploring, and learning together. I am passionate about helping students and clients meet their own personal, academic, and professional goals. In my spare time, I enjoy running, gardening, and painting. I cannot wait to work with you and collaborate on accomplishing your academic and professional goals!

I am a third year medical student at Wayne State University tutoring math and science. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Stony Brook University with a major in Biochemistry. I first developed my passion for teaching from 7 years of experience as a martial arts and boxing instructor. I was able to develop my tutoring skill during my time at Stony Brook where I worked as both a calculus tutor and a chemistry teaching assistant. Yes, I am a nerd but you will find that I am very personable and really care about helping students reach their full potential!

Chemistry is typically the first subject students learn that introduces the idea of the world existing at an atomic level. It forces students to rearrange their concept of reality, pushing the boundaries of mathematics, concepts, and scientific understandings they've come to learn. This is no easy feat! Whether students feel they would benefit from extra support or simply want to strengthen their skills, everyone deserves attentive teaching, and I want to help you feel confident in your capabilities! From making difficult concepts digestible to ensuring sufficient exam preparation, I have developed a variety of analogies, tools, and techniques for chemistry at all levels. While chemistry is my passion, you can usually find me studying other sciences like psychology and toxicology, or engaging in both visual and theatre arts! I look forward to working with you!

I am a third-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Michigan. I graduated from Wayne State University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I am currently tutoring material related to the USMLE Step 1 exam. During my undergraduate years, I worked extensively as a general chemistry tutor, where I developed a strong passion for helping students understand difficult concepts. Through my experience working with a wide range of learners, I've come to appreciate that students have diverse learning styles. I've also learned that effective tutoring goes beyond simply conveying information and requires building a genuine connection with each student to better understand their goals, challenges, and motivations. I believe my ability to connect on a personal level and tailor my approach to each student's unique needs is what makes me an effective tutor.

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 in April 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in French Language and Literature with a Teaching English as a Second Language minor. I plan on becoming a translator/interpreter/ESL teacher. I taught Hispanic adults at the intermediate level for 4 months as a student teacher. I was an ESL teacher's assistant for a month during the summer. The class consisted of 2nd graders preparing for the upcoming school year. While in high school I tutored a couple of girls for a whole school year (English, French). I also tutored someone who was a French beginner and I tutored a Venezuelan in English. Right now I am an online English teacher for Chinese children and I tutor an American in Polish. I love teaching, it's been my dream ever since I have been a child. Even though it's a lot of hard work, I find it very rewarding especially when a student finally understands something!

Hello my name is Julian. I have a background in engineering, therefore my mathematical and problem solving skills are strong. I work locally in the automotive industry.

I am a graduate of Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana (B.A. Spanish) and Wayne State University (M.A. Teaching Foreign Language). I have been with Detroit Public School since 1992. In high school, I struggled with Spanish all four years and when I applied to college I challenged myself to give Spanish just one shot. Spanish finally clicked for me and I have never looked back. That experience allows my students and tutoring clients to relate to me.My career as a Spanish teacher began in 1994 at a local area high school and I have demonstrated my teaching ability to many students and adults including preschoolers within my church to police officers in my community.My interest beyond the classroom setting include traveling abroad, collecting Barbie dolls and cooking and entertaining guests. I also am an avid world news watcher..My tutoring strategies are to establish a great rapport with the student, assess his/her learning style, give students opportunity to ask as many questions he or she needs, build their confidence as a language student and be an overall support system for the student.My teaching philosophy toward language is that language is a unique and important part of our culture and each child has a unique approach to language acquisition.

I graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Literary and Cultural Studies and a minor in Film Studies. I am currently working on my Master of Arts, again focusing on Literary and Cultural studies with a minor emphasis on Film Studies. Throughout the latter part of my undergraduate career and continuing into my graduate career I have attended department-wide workshops that encourage students of all writing levels to attend. At these meetings essays of all variants are edited for grammar, mechanics, and overall content. I have helped countless students through these workshops and hope to continue my efforts in a professional capacity. I have a relaxed and encouraging style. I enjoy helping students of all writing levels delve into their essays and find the root of their interest. Regardless of writing level every essay has a truly unique perspective and I take great pride in helping others discover the nature of their work when they are uncertain of what they are trying to say. Outside of my studies I continue to read and watch movies. I use these leisure activities to influence my work as often as I can by inserting them as topics for discussion in my own essays. This helps me remember that studying and learning should always be fun.

I have over 25 years of high school teaching experience in AP Chemistry, Chemistry, Biology, and AP Environmental Science. I enjoy teaching science and I am excited to work with you to help make you successful learning it.

I worked as a literary journal editor for twenty years and then went back to school to get a Masters in Library and Information Science. I love being a librarian, doing research, helping people of all ages find the answers to whatever questions they have. My favorite subjects are history and biography, but I'm pretty interested in everything, including politics and current affairs. My undergraduate degree was in education and I've been teaching in one form or another for about thirty years. I have one daughter in high school, and another who is a freshman in college, so they keep me up to date on what's being taught in schools in 2017.

Hi! I'm currently a PhD student in Math Education, with a masters in Education and an bachelors in mathematics. I've been tutoring for the last three years and have fallen in love with teaching ever since I started. I hope to teach at a university and never stop!

I grew up in Southern California and attended the University of California at Santa Barbara until I graduated in 2008 with a degree in history. After being told to pursue a higher degree by my adviser, Dr. Harold Marcuse, I was accepted to CSU Pomona, where I obtained my Master's in History in 2010 with a focus on the Communist Party of the United States. My interests in the Communist Party extended from my studies of Cold War history at UCSB, and drove me to understand more about the Party's involvement with specific union organizing efforts during the 1930s. My Master's thesis exposed the connection between the CPUSA and one of their agricultural unions, the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA) and discussed the impact the union made on agricultural unionism in an era where national labor legislation did not protect agricultural workers.My thesis was welcomed as a special presentation at the 2011 Working-Class Studies Association held in Chicago, where I received positive feedback on my use of agriculture as a field for highlighting the ongoing importance of American Communist history and its ties with the U.S. Labor Movement. Following graduation in 2010, I began to dive actively into collecting oral histories of the CPUSA with the intention of hopefully one day donating it to the special collections at the Walter Reuther Library here at Wayne State. I was advised about Wayne State by my off-campus adviser, Dr. Vicki Ruiz. Over the course of five years, I collected 14 oral histories of current and non-current members of the CPUSA, ranging from its oldest generations to its youngest. After collecting a few testimonies, I sent parts of my work to the North American Labor History Conference here at Wayne State in 2012 to emphasize my desires to expand the available sourcework on CPUSA history as well as deposit the records at the Reuther. To emphasize my point, I presented three of the collected oral histories and showed how their stories unveil a side of American Communist history unavailable in existing scholarly works. I presented again at the NALHC in 2013 to show how quick I had expanded the amount of oral histories.Currently I am working in the PhD Program at Wayne to utilize my collected oral histories as a means for writing a generational history of the Communist Party in the United States and thus a narrative history of American Communism through the eyes of American Communists. This stands in contrast to existing narratives, which use FBI files and internal Party documents to craft the Party's overall meaning and history. This approach, while useful in understanding the political dimensions of American Communism, does little to show the history of American Communists as people. I am applying for the Graduate Professional Scholarship because it is one of the primary ways for me to continue this project and complete my degree. My oral history project alone has required me to seek out funding to support its ongoing development. The Graduate Professional Scholarship would ensure that whatever funding I have available can be put towards advancing the amount of research done, and ultimately lead to a better overall contribution to the historical record.

I earned a BS in Biology and a MS in Biology from Wayne State University, and a MPH and PhD from Walden University in Public Health specializing in Epidemiology.

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 personally believe that all students can learn and that all students have unique learning styles. I am committed to teaching strategies to enhance individual learning styles. I believe in developing a relationship with my students and setting high expectations. My teaching style is to be patient and allow students time to grasp the concept and to create a learning environment whereby students are free to learn and free to make mistakes. This environment will ultimately instill confidence and create independent learners. I obtained by undergraduate degree from Wayne State University in Business Administration and my graduate degree in Special Education Learning Disabilities from University of Detroit Mercy. I absolutely love teaching and making a difference in the lives of students. My favorite subjects are reading and writing. I have tutored students for the last 12 years. I am enthusiastically at your service.

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.

Math and Science have been my passion since I was a little girl. I welcome the opportunity to use my knowledge to assist others in these sometimes difficult subjects.
