Award-Winning Anatomy Tutors in Shawnee Mission, KS

...my favorite subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring 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...

...While an undergrad, I worked in the Writing Center helping students write and edit their college papers. Outside of school/work, I am an adventurer. I love exploring new places (urban or wild).

...different topics. I am also an excellent test taker and am very passionate about helping students learn how to effectively study for and take tests.

...and I am earning a medical doctorate from KU Medical School. During my undergraduate studies, I was a teaching assistant for basic biology (BIOL 100) as well as the accompanying lab (BIOL 102) for two years. Teaching biology to students who were non-majors in biology was a rewarding learning experience (pun intended). Every student is different, and we all learn in different ways. I understand that different learning styles require different teaching styles, yet the...

...pursue the medical field. Therefore, my goal is to use my past experiences to tutor students efficiently and allow them to feel comfortable with the material. The MCAT and these subjects are intimidating, but I will do my very best to work with you, patiently and honestly, until you feel confident and ready. Finally, I am passionate about helping others and I would like to help students overcome the same obstacles I overcame.

I've played all over the world, and am very active in the Kansas City area. Aside from my family, music...

...many students, aged middle school to college, in subjects including SAT and ACT prep, Algebra, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry.

This has allowed me not only to master the information, but also to experience a variety of...

The students were in grades ranging from elementary school to high school, with each student having his/her own learning style and skill level.

...and Microbiology. I love talking about the amazing human body machine! Though not a chemist, I also enjoy teaching Chemistry.

I also have much experience teaching freshman success which...

Conversational spanish is a skill that I acquired while traveling. I love spending time with my family and friends and I am advance rescue certified in...

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.

The best way to learn is by teaching. As a successful student, I have been teaching others in a variety of subjects for many years. I believe in using strengths to aid weaknesses and treat each student uniquely by tailoring my teaching style to the way they learn. ...

Other responsibilities of this employment include staffing a tutoring room where students...

...that a problem or concept can always be simplified in a manner that is easy to learn, and I enjoy tailoring the simplification process to best fit the individual.

I received my B.A. in Human Biology with a concentration in Anthropology and am happy to help my...

...Lawrence, Kansas, pursuing the majors of Biology and Psychology. I love to help others learn new material in fun and diverse ways. Adapting to each individual's needs depending on their learning style is the key to overall success. My tutoring experiences in all subjects have been extremely rewarding. One-on-one tutoring is advantageous in the fact that a student can really grasp the material lost in a large classroom setting. Some students do not share my...

...help them prepare for exams and to master the material myself. Last summer, I was fortunate enough to teach a pharmacology class to 15 Kansas University students. Yet, I am comfortable not only with college students, but with high school, middle school and even elementary school students. I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any math and science academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload in college has made...

...share interesting things with people they never knew and do so in a variety of unique ways so they could understand it. I personally believe that to help remember and understand something, it needs to be tied to something that was memorable. This is why meaningful relationships with teachers and the moments that you shared with them will always be the greatest tools for learning. I work to create these moments with my students.... For meaningful...

Of these subjects my favorite subject to tutor is anatomy, or combined...

...success in all the subjects in which I am approved to tutor. I started tutoring classmates informally while in college and accepted several teaching assistant positions that enabled me to clearly explain course concepts to students with various backgrounds. Instead of lecturing students, I subscribe to a learn by doing method that enables students to articulate core concepts in their own words after hearing an explanation and always provide guidance that aid in understanding. Each...
