...rock climbing and nature. I work currently for a large international engineering consulting company and specialize in water engineering. I am a strong believer than learning occurs in a much different way than the traditional lecture method given in schools. Schools are teaching hard facts and not showing students how subjects can be applied to real life. Students miss out on many wonderful realizations in their daily lives because they don't understand how chemistry helped...

...is the same across all ages: each student has their own individual learning style. Therefore, my primary goal is to not only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related to their learning style so they may become an independent...

...at the University of Kansas majoring in chemical engineering and minoring in math. I am a very big fan of chemistry and calculus, namely because of the relevant connections that can be made between these subjects and our everyday life. During the week, you can find me doing research in the lab, talking to students about getting involved in research labs as an undergraduate in my position as a Research Ambassador, or volunteering at KUs...

...read, write, draw, and hang out with friends. I recently graduated from UMKC where I studied by Bachelor's Degree in French! I am fluent in French and can also speak basic Arabic. I worked as a tutor for the last two years to help ESL students to learn English, or write college-level academic papers. I also have experience tutoring various math subjects, and I enjoy this just as much as tutoring English related subjects. I...

...graduate 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...

Outside academics, I enjoy riding my bike, playing soccer and basketball, reading, and holding rich conversation. I am a huge Chess fan and a member of Chess.com, which I visit nearly every day. Roman Catholicism is important to me, and I try to balance doctrine with ethics...

...Education is a key element for success later in life and if we do not provide a strong backbone for our kids, they will not be able to achieve the goals or hopes they have. A classroom setting might not be enough for a child and with the extra tutoring they are able to get the confidence they need to excel on tests and in classrooms. My tutoring methods are unique because I am able...

...also not to say that they wish to see their students trump others. Success does not equate to winning; it is not the complete absence of failure. On the contrary, success is a measurement of progress contingent on each individual's goals, capabilities, and determination. Understanding success as the final product, therefore, is an absurdity. Let us consider a hypothetical: One of my students takes what she learns from her tutoring sessions over macroeconomics and lands...

...eye-catching resumes and cover letters along with identifying and cultivating marketable skills to stay competitive in the workplace. Moreover, on a personal note, as a pre-teen I assisted my father in his studies to obtain his GED. In this sense, my student's self-evident belief that knowledge will empower them and their pursuit of that knowledge through Varsity Tutors hits very close to home and makes me even more so invested in their success.

...student in the chemical engineering undergraduate program at the University of Kansas. I have experience tutoring college students in physics, and I will be tutoring for the Kansas Algebra Program at KU in the fall. I most enjoy tutoring math because I understand the struggles and frustration that the subject can cause.
