...teaching experience was at Mizzou. 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...

I have a passion for learning and for helping others. My math and science knowledge and skills have helped me to become successful in school and in my career and I want to help other students to be successful as well.

...I really enjoy interaction with students. I think there is a lot for an instructor to learn from that interaction since you put apart the problem you are trying to teach. You learn details you never thought were there. I got my bachelor's degrees from UMKC in computer science and math and I'm passionate about both and especially about AI as its a wonderful combination of both. Currently I'm pursuing my Master's in computer science...

...a current student at Kansas State University majoring in Computer Engineering. My favorite subjects are math and programming because I enjoy the problem solving that comes with them. When both teaching and learning, I try to focus on the how and why rather then just learning to solve problems. I've found understanding why a given concept is valuable will make it easier to learn and more likely to be remembered when a potential application arises.

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just...

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ... I have two teaching philosophies as a tutor: to get students to think about science (and other classes) as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences.... In a typical first session with a student I will introduce myself and then...

...to balance doctrine with ethics in the daily practice of my faith. My favorite subject to tutor is English. My "liberal arts" education has convinced me that learning to communicate effectively precedes learning all other skills.

I also offer ACT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement...

I enjoy helping students reach their highest potential. My philosophy is that all people can learn and finding their intelligence is my goal in tutoring.

...at the UMKC School of Medicine. I love tutoring high school students, and have been doing formal tutoring since 2013. Much of my teaching philosophy centers around one word: "why". Pushing students to understand why and how something works on their own significantly improves long term recall, instead of simply feeding them formulae and rules for them to regurgitate on an examination. As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either...
