Award-Winning Algebra 2 Tutors serving Shawnee Mission, KS

...of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) where I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2013. I worked for Procter and Gamble for about five years as a process engineer and project manager. Recently, I obtained my teaching certification which qualifies me to teach math at both the middle and high school levels. I have a strong passion for both math and science, particularly algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry and organic chemistry.

My dream job is to have my own research lab for idiopathic disease. This is due to scoliosis and polycystic kidney disease running in the family. My best subjects are Biology, Chemistry (biochemistry), and Calculus. I enjoy music as a means of relaxing and have classical training from my musician parents. I also enjoy calligraphy in my spare time as well as video games. Ich spreche Deutsche zu. (I speak German too).

...and worked at a reading institute. My psychology education helped me understand why the reading institute was so effective and why many students struggle in other areas as well - they misuse their working memory! Our brains work by combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems...

Biology, chemistry, and related electives are tough courses that demand rigorous study. As a tutor and soon to be medical student, I am passionate about helping students master these subjects. I know firsthand how difficult these classes can be and how important success is for acceptance into a professional school. My goal is to facilitate your learning in the most effective way possible by empowering you to be successful.... First, I like to find out what...

I am a rising sophomore at Duke University and am double majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Economics. I love problem solving and analyzing situations creatively and enjoy studying the real-world applications that accompany engineering. I mostly tutor math and science courses and hope to illustrate my passion for these subjects to my students.

I am currently attending the University of Central Missouri to receive my Alternative Certification and Master of Arts in Teaching degrees in Middle School Mathematics. On top of academic exposure to an array of math classes, I tutored many peers while in high school. Aside from traditional tutoring, I have exposure to teaching vital lessons to students of all backgrounds through my volunteer work at the University of Missouri and time spent in Guatemala.

...life-long learners. No matter your current skill level, I can meet you where you are and help you cross your academic finish line! I currently study Chemical/Biochemical Engineering and I previously completed the rigorous International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. As such, I have extensive knowledge in the fields of Chemistry (high school, inorganic, organic), History (Europe and the Middle East), Math (all levels up to, and including, Calculus II), Physics (algebra-based), the IB Programme, and ACT...

...way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a new perspective and to understand (so as...

I have been tutoring for close to 20 years. I enjoy helping students fill in the gaps when it comes to mathematics, preferably upper level subjects such as algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I also enjoy helping students improve their ACT scores with better test taking strategies.

...and help them to find success in whatever field I can. I've worked closely with peers and younger students through my time in high school and college, and I have great proficiency in many areas of the physical sciences and math. I believe with enough work than any student can find success in and even enjoy any topic they've struggled with. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy working with electronics as a hobby and playing piano.

...also pursuing a Global Awareness Certificate. I am an IB diploma graduate, with a 6 overall. I teach math at every level, as well as French. I also do a lot of work with elementary level students and art students. My teaching style is very gentle. I believe that students' confidence in their abilities is fundamental to long-term success. My focus for students is to understand the current material, while also giving them the tools...

...and a minor in Math. My ultimate goal is to become a professional astronomer and educator, and I plan to start a Ph.D. program in the fall, most likely at KU. During my time at UMKC, I was a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader for introductory calculus-based physics. SI is, in essence, collaborative group tutoring, and my teaching style and philosophy stems from that. I try to make my lessons fun and interesting, and I believe...

I'm a structural engineer by trade who is interested in helping others accomplish their educational goals. I believe the most effective way to learn a subject is through mastering core fundamentals, and then refining with repetitive exercises.

...my life, and have recently begun picking up other instruments, as well. I also love football; I'd mention my favorite team, but why become enemies right off the bat? Video games have also been a big part of my life and I still play whenever I get the chance. Regardless of how you feel about math or about your own abilities in the subject, I'm sure that we can work together to make learning math...

...major from the United States Air Force Academy. I was excited to serve my country and am very thankful I got that opportunity. What I learned most from it though was that it was not my passion and I separated from the Air Force to set out to find it. Teaching math and physics excites me and motivates me. My goal is to instill this love and amazement in my students through my love of...

Never stop learning.
