Vince: Overland Park ACT Reading tutor
Certified ACT Reading Tutor in Overland Park, KS
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.

Eli: Overland Park ACT Reading tutor
Certified ACT Reading Tutor in Overland Park, KS
I have over eight years experience tutoring, mostly in math and science, but other subjects as well. I attempt to find analogous concepts from a student's other interests or daily experiences to make abstract concepts more understandable. I believe that generally, grasping a concept follows on from realizing it's not so foreign as we used to think.
