Subject: ESL
Availability: All Year 

I worked with Kathy Murphy as an ESL para during the 2000-2001 school year at Hampton. I planned on continuing, but my husband was transferred to France where we lived for four years. I have personal experience of how difficult learning a foreign language can be for students, as we helped our 7- and 9-year-old sons adjust to their French public school experience.

In 2015, I received my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Madonna University. Since then I've tutored over 700 hours, including 447 hours with 4.9/5 rating (168 ratings) on the Wyzant tutoring platform. During this school year I tutored 3 students from Delta Kelly.

In addition to tutoring children, I tutor adults at all levels. Many of these adults are RCS parents and desire to learn English quickly and well enough to be able to communicate with and understand their children's teachers. Besides teaching the language, I always explain the American school system, which is very different from that of their home countries. I also explain American culture and etiquette, which helps them to understand what to do in various situations, especially when these concern their children. I have been a long-time tutor of three students who attend the PLC.

By limiting the number of students I work with, I am able to bring a holistic and custom-tailored learning experience to my students, helping them achieve competence and mastery across the arc of their humanities classes in high school and setting them up for success as undergraduates in college. Whether a student is taking their first week of freshman classes or narrowing down a college search, I am here to support their journey and help them strengthen and capitalize on their innate talents. With my decades of experience teaching university classes, I bring a deep knowledge of how to prepare and improve student reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking so they can start off successfully at the college of their choice after graduation. I tutor most A.P. classes, I help with the college process, and I specialize in college essays and scholarship essays. Give me a call today to see how I can help your student succeed!

With over 16 years of experience teaching all levels of chemistry, I specialize in helping students master everything from conceptual foundations to advanced AP and IB coursework. I currently teach both Honors and IB Chemistry at International Academy in Bloomfield Hills. My academic background includes a bachelor's degree in chemistry and master's degree in organic chemistry. I focus on building deep understanding and confidence in students through clear explanations, problem-solving strategies, and personalized support (I've created a library of content videos to support student learning and reinforce key concepts outside of tutoring sessions.)

I have been a full-time, certified tutor for almost any subject and any grade since 2010 although I scaled back in 2024. My teaching focus is on application; I find that when students understand the usefulness of what they are learning, they are much more likely to care about it for themselves. Please note that I now only tutor virtually, but I endeavor to keep things as engaging as possible. If you can name a subject, I have likely tutored it before, including additional areas, such as career counseling, college routing and resume building.

One of my favorite things to do is to help a student feel more confident about the material they are working on in their math class.  My name is Paul Shinsky and I am a retired Rochester High math teacher with 32 years of teaching and tutoring experience at the high school and middle school levels.  I feel I am very good at establishing a comfortable working relationship with the student and parents which fosters a great learning environment.  The tutoring hour is usually spent being sure the student is ready for tomorrow and then going back to be sure past important concepts are understood fully.  I can come to your home or meet at the local library.  I have had much success tutoring online as well.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi my name is Alexandra. I found a passion for tutoring mathematics 9 years ago when I started peer tutoring at Wayne State University while working towards my Bachelors in Psychology. I later went on to complete a degree in accounting and finance, which I use in my day job. However, I still pursue my passion by working at Mathnasium of Troy in the evenings. I am able to work with students of all ages beginning with preschoolers just starting number literacy at 3-years-old, through High School Pre-Calculus. I also utilize my background in Developmental Psychology to work with students on their learning styles, study strategies, and overcoming behavioral blocks when it comes to math. I also do PSAT and SAT test preparation (Math, ELA and writing).
