Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Kansas City, MO

I'm a full-time college student and part time Undergraduate Learning Assistant. I currently help teach algebra courses on my campus, and one of my absolute favorite things is watching a student grow and progress in their skills! I've worked with students of all ages and enjoy the unique challenges and rewards each age group presents.

...satisfying for everyone involved - parents, students and teachers. What an exciting way to help others become more successful in what they are trying to achieve whether it be spelling words, essay writing, math facts, phonics and beginning reading, algebra, oganization and study skills, getting prepared to take the ACT or SAT to get into the college of their choice to studying for exams in high school and college. I have had the opportunity to...

...of these assignments were either papers or exam essays. In eight history classes, I have gotten seven A's and one A-. I attribute much of my success largely to my writing skills, especially my outlining and revising strategies. I have also done very well in my standardized tests, including a 34 on my ACT, a 168 on my LSAT, and very good scores on my AP exams (three 4's and two 5's). My specialties are helping...

...succeed in the higher echelons of educations. And secondly, it is very important for a student to advocate for his or her own education. They need to understand where they need help and, more importantly, why they need the help they are getting (i.e. what part of that subject they are struggling with). When they understand what they are doing wrong and they find the answer "themselves" after answering several leading questions, they are more...

...and secondary specialisms in integrated science and TEFL. I became a teacher in the UK covering physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, and mathematics. When I moved to the US, I focused on tutoring, working both privately, and with the voluntary organizations, 'I Have a Dream Foundation' and 'Youth Competency in Math and Science'. My tutoring work spans over 23 years. In the US I worked for the past 20 years in biomedical research, and during that...

...at the University of Kansas. I love tutoring kids because learning how to do concepts properly means spending less time struggling on homework and more time doing things you enjoy! I have previously tutored kids for the ACT and IB Math. I like tutoring for the ACT because it is so important for college these days. Having a good score can open so many doors and I want every student to get the opportunities they...

...lesson plans and put them into practice, teaching my lessons in local elementary and middle schools. I tutor a variety of subjects, including physics, engineering classes, and many instances of mathematics, although I am most passionate about tutoring physics, as I enjoy being able to apply what we learn and see the real-world implications in our daily life. I believe that learning isn't just the accumulation of knowledge, but the rewiring of the way we...

...After getting my master's, I joined Teach For America and taught high school English for two years. Most recently, I taught composition and developmental English at Penn Valley Community College. My approach to tutoring is non-directive. I ask questions to help guide students to answers, which helps them practice critical thinking skills and deduction, rather than rote memorization. Overall, this leads to a greater understanding of concepts and a better ability to recall information and...

...only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels of math, chemistry, and Spanish. As for standardized tests, I am most oriented towards the ACT. My favorite subject to learn and tutor is Math because it allows the student an opportunity to understand a concept much deeper than the surface. And that is my focus for when I learn a...

...soft skills to develop not only professionally, but academically as well. Leadership and confidence translates into drive, and drive translates to motivation, tenacity, and self-enterprise. I am an avid trivia geek, a giant science nerd, and a musician! I love to incorporate my hobbies into my study skills and tutoring skills, I find that the more I can relate to the student, the easier it will be to bridge the abstract, hard knowledge into concepts...

...to teach college courses along with tutoring students online. Right now I help with some online math courses targeted at students from other countries. It's been interesting seeing how other cultures approach mathematics. I earned a math degree from Truman State University. After that, I went to graduate school at the University of Missouri in Columbia. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, and a masters degree in statistics I tutor all levels of algebra,...

...hope to inspire in each student an appreciation for this amazing language and unlock the tools necessary to allow students to face future writing/reading/English-involving situations with confidence and skill. For several years I taught privately as a violin teacher, and since violin is considered one of (if not the) most challenging instruments to learn, this experience gave me valuable lessons in teaching patiently and creatively. Each student and academic situation are unique, and as such,...

...my knowledge with others and help them to find success in whatever field I can. I've worked closely with peers and younger students through my time in high school and college, and I have great proficiency in many areas of the physical sciences and math. I believe with enough work than any student can find success in and even enjoy any topic they've struggled with. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy working with electronics as a...

...and classmates in the classes we are enrolled in together as well as those I have already taken. I enjoy being in school and I want other students to feel the same way. For me, tutoring is important because it can help students feel like they finally understand a concept they have been struggling with for a while. Getting to see when a student has a light bulb moment is the most rewarding part. With...

I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying Mathematics. I will be tutoring math up to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB); I will also be tutoring the entirety of the ACT.

I strive to help students of all ages communicate clearly with their academic writing.

...The majority of my tutoring experience came during college, while working with classmates to help raise their grades in multiple biology courses, including Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Developmental Biology, and Evolutionary Biology. However, I've tutored other classmates in German, Spanish, chemistry, and physics. In addition to college courses, I've worked with classmates and colleagues to improve their GRE and MCAT scores, with the most improvement seen in the Critical Reading sections. I'm happy to work with...

...of The Ohio State University with a degree in philosophy. I look forward to tutoring as an opportunity to help students discover their strengths in subjects they find difficult or unnecessarily complicated. I believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as they are taught well. Given my background in philosophy, I am familiar with transforming the unbearably boring into the deeply fascinating. I hope to help students learn that such transformations are fully within...

...help you learn while having fun. I've been teaching for 20 years and have my PhD in Molecular Biosciences, but my teaching and tutoring experience ranges from Writing to Chemistry and all sorts of Biology. I love to teach and tutor! My favorite thing is to explain difficult concepts in simple and straight-forward ways. I am a very interactive tutor, and I always encourage questions as they come up. We will have fun and you...

...small southeast Kansas town, but I have always considered Kansas City my home. I originally majored in Atmospheric Sciences. I have always had an obsession with the fascination of weather phenomena. However, I changed my major to Mathematics. I wanted to have a more diverse degree for career opportunities. I will say that I would love to go back and take some weather forecasting classes just for the fun of it. I work full time...
