I'm currently pursuing a degree in Neuroscience! My passion lies in empowering students to conquer challenging subjects like AP Biology, Chemistry, and standardized test preparation, including the SAT and PSAT. With over 3 years of tutoring experience, I have honed my ability to adapt my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring each student feels supported and confident. I believe in creating interactive sessions that transform learning into an engaging experience, where students not only grasp complex concepts but also develop the skills to tackle challenges independently. As a National Merit Scholar, I offer valuable insights into effective test strategies, helping students navigate the nuances of SAT math and reading. My goal is to inspire students to embrace their academic journey with enthusiasm and resilience.

I am currently finishing my last semester at Wayne State University, and will be graduating with a Bachelors in German and International Studies. I have tutoring experience with 8 and 9 year olds in Math and Science, as well as English tutoring for a 10 year old German student.The subjects I teach are German 1 to 4, and can help students on their way to learning a second language. My favorite subject to tutor is German, it has always been my favorite subject in school and I am always excited to teach others what I have learned. My various experiences studying abroad in Germany helped build my confidence in my speaking ability, and really gave me a new appreciation for the language.I believe that the best way to learn is to to teach. In my experience with tutoring so far, I have found that instructing a student is the best way to improve ones self. This is why much of my teaching strategies center around having the student teach the material back to me.When I'm not tutoring German I'm usually reading. I have a passion for literature of all kinds, and once I get talking about a good book it's hard for me to stop! Another hobby of mine is music, I play bass guitar and clarinet in my free time.I hope to be a help to anyone looking to improve their German speaking skills!
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 earned my B.A. in Russian Language and Literacy with a Minor in Linguistics at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor Honors College in 2009. I earned my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Wayne State University in 2013. I have 3 years of experience working as a speech therapist with kindergarten through twelfth grade students, and I am passionate about helping students develop and master all aspects of literacy. I am used to working with students in one-on-one and group settings, and I have both classroom and pull-out experience. In a typical day, I help students to address many facets of their language and literacy, including vocabulary, writing, phonemic awareness, verbal organization, sentence structure, and reading comprehension. Additionally, I have advanced fluency in Russian and would be happy to offer tutoring services to beginning Russian learners or those looking for vacation Russian. Although the roles of a tutor and speech pathologist are different, I believe that my extensive instructional experience will make me an ideal tutor for you or your child.
I spent twenty-five years building relationships with students; I just happened to teach English. Without that relationship, there is no trust, no confidence, and no inclination to change or grow. Students must have faith in us and believe in our faith in them. Thirty years ago, I left a career in the film business to teach because I needed a career that I felt mattered. One that was important. And working with young people is important. It was the best professional choice I ever made.
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.

Hi, my name is Rachel. I am kind of an academic geek, a literature geek for sure. I love the feeling of being in the classroom and taking part in the discourse that goes on.

I feel like I connect well with the different age groups and know how to adjust my approach and interactions to get the best results.I believe that my background, abilities and personality make me the perfect choice to tutor your student.
I went to the University of Detroit Jesuit High School, a highly regarded college prep high school in Detroit, and Wayne State University, where I graduated in 2012 with a degree in Film Production. I am a filmmaker with an interest in teaching and interacting with youth. I am very friendly but expect high effort and a positive attitude. In my eyes, every student has the ability to accomplish whatever goals they set their minds to as long as they work hard and push through obstacles.I specialize in tutoring English and reading skills, particularly in preparation for the ACT, SAT, and other standardized tests.
For nearly twenty years, Ive gained great satisfaction from tutoring. Its extremely rewarding and a lot of fun - to work one-on-one with an individual and watch the incremental progress, as he/she masters the material were working on. Initially, I was hired by Kaplan Institute to teach ACT & SAT prep courses. I originally viewed tutoring as a part-time job to help finance graduate school, but I soon branched out into tutoring on my own and have enjoyed it so much that I have continued long into my college teaching career, which also spans more than fifteen years.
I taught over 2,000 students over 7 years in college, high school, middle school, and alternative school settings. My certification and degree are both in English.

Hi! I'm Gurbani, and I am a current fourth-year medical student that would love to give back to other students and help them get into a position like I am today.
I am a PhD candidate at Wayne State University for Biomedical Engineering. I graduated in 2014 with a dual degree major in Biochemistry and Psychology. I have three years of undergraduate research experience working in a Computational Chemistry Lab and two years of experience working in a wet chemistry lab in industry. My research background helped deepen my understanding of core concepts taught in my biochemistry classes. On the other hand, my psychology background has trained me to be patient, and understanding of cognitive learning across all ages. I have been successful in using all of the mentioned skills to teach family and friends. I have had nothing but positive experiences tutoring and it gives me joy to foster the younger generations interests in math and the sciences. Some of my best teachers have been my hardest teachers and they have taught me to be persistent. This applies for me as a teacher and as a student as I do not leave work unfinished as a student nor am I able to leave another student without giving them a fair chance at success.
My mission in life is to inspire, motivate, and prepare our future generations to live a live of purpose, power, and passion!
I attended the University of Detroit Mercy where I gained a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I have also recently graduated with a Masters of Basic Medical Sciences from Wayne State University. As you may be able to tell, I have had a passion for science, especially biology, for many years. My academic journey has given me an immense amount of experience with a wide range of subjects and tests. I know very intimately what it is like to be under pressure to perform well in school and on tests and therefore can relate to students under similar circumstances. I have had the opportunity to tutor many people in a wide range of ages and academic abilities in the past.I tutor a wide range of subjects but am most passionate about Math, Science, Reading, Writing, and Test Preparation. I believe the first and most vital step in working with a student is to identify specifically where he or she is struggling. Every student is different and deserves a teaching method that is tailored to them. I believe students learn best when they are guided along through discussion and hands-on methods as opposed to when they are lectured to; I also believe learning can and should be fun! When it comes to preparing for tests, I believe that what you know is only a small part of the puzzle; perfecting test-taking skills is equally important. I have taken many standardized tests throughout my life, and have been able to do well by understanding the tests and utilizing these skills.When I have spare time, I enjoy staying active by playing basketball and exercising. I also enjoy reading, sports, music and traveling. I look forward to helping you find your full potential on the road to success.
Hello, my name is Deanna and I look forward to working with you! I am nearly finished with my PhD in English Rhetoric and Composition.

Most recently, I have been teaching introductory and intermediate composition classes for a large university in Detroit, Michigan. I have experience teaching in classrooms and online.

I am a graduate of Wayne State University with a Master of Arts and Doctorate in Industrial Organizational Psychology. My undergraduate degree in psychology is from University of Maryland. While my area of psychology has a fancy name, it's essentially the psychology of the workplace. It's closely connected to the human resources profession, and I've been working in the field for 25 years. My professional work is in organizational survey research and my work helps leaders understand the employee experience with all aspects of work. I've also served as a faculty member at different colleges and universities. I have taught a range of undergraduate psychology courses and graduate courses in psychology and human resources. I have taught research methods, statistics, and predictive analytics at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. My approach to teaching is to identify students needs and focus on the key info that helps them develop understanding and skills. I believe strongly that focusing on the use of knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. I enjoy helping students discover their own path to understanding and mastering complex material. I enjoy helping students as a way of giving back to those who helped me. Earning a degree in higher education is a personal journey that involves a lot of work as well as unique challenges and opportunities. Helping students to achieve their goals and improve their professional prospects is a great reward for me. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy photography, cycling, hiking, and traveling.
I am a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where I completed my Ph.D. program in Physics. I was doing research in physics for many years, but it always comes a time when you feel you must pass your knowledge to other people, especially those of new generation. So, I started teaching and tutoring then. Originally I was teaching Conceptual, Algebra-Based and Calculus-Based Physics courses at different colleges and universities. Yet, while teaching these courses, I was also unofficially "tutoring" the students during my office hours when they were coming with their concerns and confusions. Officially, my tutoring started in January 2017, when I was offered to tutor at Science Learning Center of Stark State College in North Canton, Ohio. One thing I like in tutoring is the opportunity to work with students individually and use personal approaches to direct them to the success in their studies, rather than teaching an "average student" standing at a whiteboard or a projector screen. I am tutoring College, University and AP Physics courses, also I am able to tutor algebra/trigonometry and calculus. Rather that just giving the students the equations to solve the desired problems, I prefer to make the students work themselves, concentrating myself in directing them whenever it is necessary and explaining the subtle points of the confusing material studied. During the tests the students are left with their task alone with no help form anyone, and my goal is to make them able to deal with such tasks successfully.
As a veteran elementary educator with a Master of Arts in Teaching from Wayne State University and a Bachelor's degree from The University of Michigan-Dearborn, I've taught all subjects in self-contained classrooms with a particular focus on grades 2 and 3. Now, I'm channeling that experience into what I love most: helping children become strong, confident readers. Here's what sets my approach apart: I don't believe in one-size-fits-all instruction. Before we even begin, I take time to truly understand your child through reading assessments and learning style inventories. This helps me pinpoint exactly where they need supportwhether it's phonics, fluency, comprehension, or confidenceand design engaging, interactive lessons that match how they learn best. My extensive teaching background means I understand the full picture of your child's learning. I've worked with students with different learning needs and styles, so I know how to reach children with varied strengths and challenges. What you can expect: Every session is personalized, interactive, and designed to keep your child engaged. I use structured, research-based reading approaches and incorporate hands-on activities, games, and technology when appropriate and possible to add variety and enhance learning. Above all, I keep the instruction warm and relationship-based. My goal isn't just to improve reading skillsit's to help your child discover that reading can be enjoyable and empowering. I've watched reluctant readers become eager readers, and that never gets old. As an avid reader myself, I understand firsthand how reading opens doors to new worlds and opportunities. That's the gift I want to share with your child.
Since I was a small child, I knew that I wanted to help people. When I am old and fragile, I want to be able to look back on my life and smile about what I have accomplished. Joining the PhD program for Kinesiology at Wayne State University greatly supports me in this mission. As part of my education, I have had the privilege of being immersed in disability culture; this prepared me to pursue my Doctoral Degree in Kinesiology in Education.My interest in becoming an educator dates back to my early elementary years. As with most students, I had experiences with instructors that varied between the good, the bad and the ugly. When my experiences were good, I excelled, took risks, learn, and I would push myself to master a skill. With the bad instances, I would shy away and try not to be noticed by the teacher. I quietly attempted to look busy. The ugly experiences were where I would become embarrassed and completely disengage with a lesson and from an instructor. Even at a young age, I saw which one of these people I would want to model. So the seed was planted in my head to become not just an educator, but a person to inspire others to reach for the stars and strive to achieve their full potential. In my free time I enjoy basketball and teaching.

I really enjoy teaching students and sharing my knowledge to enhance the understanding of others. I have taught a wide variety of topics, but focused mainly on Human Anatomy I & II, Microbiology, and Nutrition. I am also certified to teach secondary life and physical science in Texas. I continue to teach one class at UHCL. I look forward to increasing your understanding of science.

I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree from Wayne State University. I am certified to teach English, Science, and Reading. I love teaching students to do the best job they can do. Whether it be reading a book, mastering grammar skills and sentence structure, enhancing vocabulary, or writing a paper, my goal is to make students feel confident about the work they have to present. It is my philosophy that students stay motivated by connecting reading to their personal interests, giving them autonomy over their choices, and focusing heavily on their progress rather than just their mistakes. When reading shifts from a chore to a meaningful achievable activity, student engagement naturally increases. Excellent communication skills via reading and writing are truly the gateway to success. We use those skills in everything we do. I have taught English, reading and writing to middle school, high school and college students. I want all of my students to know English can be fun.
