Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Missouri

I enjoy helping students to succeed in all academic areas. I have years of experience and try to bring my knowledge to personalize all help I am able to give to students. My faith and family are the only things that mean more to me than educating students and helping them succeed.

...online, and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I am a scientist, so I mainly tutor chemistry, but I am also an excellent essay writer, editor, and test taker. As a result I am well equipped to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, math, essay writing, report writing, editing, and...

...for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves in...

...have for themselves. Then I relate the material to those interests, connecting it to things students already enjoy and understand. Learning is so much more fun if it is relevant to things we already love. I also try to create hands-on experiences that we can hold, move, and arrange as we talk about math: we...

...a tutor at the Math and Resource Center at UMKC, I have gained many skills that allow me to be confident that my students have effectively mastered what they are learning in the classroom and are able to apply it to real-life situations. I have learned to adapt to the individual needs of each student....

...3% of my graduating class, part of the National Honor Society, Varsity Soccer Team Captain, and a member of the A Capella and Chamber Choir. My goal is help students not only do well in their desired subjects, but to understand why it is important. I look forward to working with you!... Students should be able to understand the subject matter well enough after each tutoring session that they could teach me how to do it.

...and excited, and they are ready to work even harder. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy many things. I hike, fly-fish and run as much as I can. I love watching all forms of football, and I am an avid Royals fan. I also enjoy theatre and plays, and I try to read at least an...

...all the way up through to undergraduates in algebra, geometry, reading, writing and French. My favorite to teach is reading, because it's a door to so many other cool things (like Sherlock Holmes stories!). I think all good tutoring experiences are built on a trusting, respectful relationship, so I really try to get to know...

I hope to be able to use my academic and past tutoring experience to help students improve their performance. I believe in focusing on the process for the work instead of the specific answers to problems.... I believe that it is important to both answer any questions a student has and help them understand how to do the work so they will do well on their own.

...teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's...
