...doing math, and I thought I would want to be a teacher, in a nice school, with a nice class of students, but the big groups are not for me. I much prefer that the one on one style of teaching. I've been doing tutoring since early high school, and I get more and more satisfaction with each person I help. I also enjoy the challenge of finding the right teaching style for each person...

...a U.S. Citizen. As a native Spanish speaker, she had trouble pronouncing and understanding certain words. After two months of tutoring, she took the test and passed with flying colors. It was during this time that I discovered my passion and skills for tutoring. I really care about my students and want them to succeed. Watching a young child understand something for the first time, or an adult student work so hard and with such...

Being a student myself, I understand the struggles some students may face academically. Seeing students understand the content and seeing that "ah-ha!" moment is what I strive for when I tutor and it is what drives me to tutor. Seeing other people be successful makes me want to become a better person and knowing that I contributed a little bit is what drives me to teach.

...and individual settings. Im from a small town in southern Illinois, where I was valedictorian of my high school class. Currently, I am a medical student at University of Missouri-Kansas City where I will be graduating from in 2022. My favorite subjects to tutor are English/Grammar and Math because these have always made logical sense to me. However, I also enjoy tutoring other science related subjects as well. My teaching philosophy is that it is...

In my free time, I enjoy running, playing outside, watching movies, playing card games and board games, and spending time with family and friends.

For two years, I was a Residential Assistant, helping students adjust to college...

...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 time, traveled the world giving talks relating to my work, and teaching technical examination preparatory classes. Additionally, I have taught management...

...and a minor in materials science and engineering. I primarily tutor subjects in math and science because I love helping students break through obstacles to understanding tough concepts. I believe that sometimes all it takes to tackle a difficult problem is a fresh perspective, which is how I like to approach my tutoring sessions. I love to hike, I'm an avid board game player, and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar - it's going...

...the value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

...college, in subjects including SAT and ACT prep, Algebra, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. I then worked in a neuro-psychiatry laboratory before starting medical school in Kansas City. Throughout my lengthy education I have taken several courses on each of the subject that I tutor and have taken quite a few standardized exams. This has allowed me not only to master the information, but also to experience a variety of teaching styles. I know first hand...

...and I am finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education at the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance. I love teaching all ages, but will most likely be teaching middle school or high school choir. I am a certified K-12 substitute teacher, and upon completing my student teaching in 2017, will be a licensed K-12 educator in both MO and KS. I am here to help, please feel free to contact me!

...teach the subjects at hand, as indicated by my majors. And I have a lot of practice working with children, as demonstrated through my many years of teaching. I am genuinely interested in this position because I am confident my skills and hands-on experience match the demands for this position and believe it will help me develop necessary skills for my future in the medical field. I am looking to interact with many people and...

...Reading Mentor for youth in foster care, and run the social media channels for my university's Humanities department. My tutoring style revolves around building a student's confidence in their abilities, regardless of the subject matter. I make every effort to build rapport with my students in order to better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and goals. I also wholeheartedly believe that every interaction is a chance for further education, and I strive to cultivate curiosity in...

...Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that...

...As a history major, most of my major assignments were writing assignments. Most 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...
