My name is Michelle, and I offer tutoring in Providence, Rhode Island in Math through Calculus, Chemistry, English, Economics, Government, Computer Science, and the SAT. I’m an undergraduate student at Brown University majoring in Computer Science and Economics, graduating in 2028. I’m excited to help students learn, build confidence, and discover a passion for learning. Throughout high school and college, I’ve taken classes in different areas like calculus, chemistry, physics, computer science, economics, government, and English. I’ve grown to appreciate how different subjects connect, and I hope to help students develop that same appreciation. I also coached swimming for two summers, where I worked closely with students of different ages and abilities. Being in that environment taught me a lot about working with others, communicating clearly, and supporting people as they work toward their own goals. I enjoyed getting to know swimmers over time and being someone they could rely on for guidance and encouragement. I’m excited to tutor and build connections with students while helping them feel confident and engaged in their studies. I care about creating a supportive, comfortable environment where questions are welcome and learning feels manageable. I’m really looking forward to working with students and helping make their learning process a fun and fulfilling experience. I can help tutor the SAT and all the AP Exams I took: I got a 1570 on the SAT (800 Math, 770 Reading), and for AP Exams: Calculus AB (5), Calculus BC (5), Chemistry (5), Computer Science A (5), Computer Science Principles (4), English Language and Composition (4), English Literature and Composition (5), Macroeconomics (5), Physics C: Mechanics (4), Statistics (5), United States Government and Politics (5)

If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.

That depends on where your student is starting and how consistently they show up. Michelle will identify the specific gaps, focus sessions on them, and adjust as the student progresses. Families who stick to a weekly schedule typically see meaningful progress within four to six weeks.
