Award-Winning AP Chemistry Tutors serving Shawnee Mission, KS

...Mandarin, math, and biology. I am especially passionate about teaching English reading and writing because as someone who personally went through the process of learning English from scratch, I deeply understand the challenges involved in honing one's language skills. I hope to use the lessons I have learned from my experience to help others who are working on improving their reading and writing skills, no matter how far they are along the process. I am...

Hello! My teaching speciality is math and science, and I truly believe that anyone can learn these subjects when they're presented in an interesting way. I am very nearly finished with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree at the University of Kansas. I am currently employed as a research assistant in a computational chemistry group where I'm working towards going to graduate school.

...the program in Fall 2015. In addition, I worked as a clinical research assistant at the Saint Louis University Center of Outcomes Research, specifically in the area of liver transplantation. I believe I have many qualities and the experience to be a great tutor, especially a great MCAT tutor. As someone who has successfully navigated from an undergraduate program to medical school, I understand and can relate to the struggles of a student that wishes...

...to become an anesthesiologist. During medical school, I have been a teaching assistant in our medical school's anatomy lab. Before medical school I lived in Nicaragua for several years where I became fluent in Spanish. To help you learn, I believe in using real world examples and the concept of see one, do one, teach one; meaning we'll go through examples together and you'll eventually be teaching me. I look forward to meeting you and...

...However, as cheesy as it may sound, you never stop learning. I have experienced success and failure in the classroom throughout my academic career. I quit college for several years, unsure if I was ever going back, until I met someone (outside of college) who became a mentor and friend to me. He helped me realize my professional and educational goals. He even challenged me daily to make sure that I was retaining the information...

...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.

...very solid understanding of it. Similar to Anatomy and Physiology, math uses a lot of logic, which allows you to understand and learn concepts that will stick with you rather than learning them for a test and then discarding this information. I would like to describe my teaching philosophy as a means of challenging students. It is essential to initially evaluate what information the student knows and what they are struggling with. This enables me...

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...

...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 create computers, or the historical context that has created the current political climate. Tutoring sessions with me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I...

...the field of science. I really love knowing how things work, especially on the atomic level. My first feat was understanding the periodic table and finding both rhyme and reason to its madness. This understanding led me to majoring in chemistry. With all of the analytical science under my belt, the math just came naturally. Minoring in mathematics made sense because of the critical role the subject plays in chemistry. I can tutor students with...

...at Deloitte Consulting in the near future. During the time I was pursuing my undergraduate degree I tutored for introductory engineering courses such as Chemistry and Physics, and helped grade and guide students on their lab reports in the Introduction to Industrial Engineering course. I love helping students, and really consider it to be one of my hobbies, as I have gained so much from the education I was fortunate enough to have received and...

...to prepare for tests, or to simply do better in their classes. Through these experiences I have learned that I very much enjoy facilitating the learning process for other students. I love helping others in scientific subjects such as biology and chemistry, but the path to dental school has given me the opportunity to learn about a variety of other topics. The satisfaction of acing a difficult test or quiz is something that I hope...

...my Bachelors in Biology from the University of Missouri - Columbia, where I also got minors in Psychology and Anthropology. I tutor any subject area in elementary, middle school, or high school science, as well as select areas of college science (see my subject list). My strong points are biology and chemistry, and I am Praxis and MEGA certified to teach both in the state of Missouri. I also have a strong background in Math,...

...successfully in Geometry and Algebra. I will be attending the University of Kansas Medical School in the Fall of 2020. I know the stress of studying and I've learned several study tricks that have helped me along the way. I am excited to give back what I know to my students. I have previous experience as a TA and private tutor for Organic Chemistry. I have also taught English language conversation in Santiago, Chile. Please...

...I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

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.

I am a recent graduate with a Master's of Science in Medical Physiology from the University of Illinois and a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin. I will be attending the University of Illinois College of Medicine in 2018, and I am excited to assist fellow students be successful in their courses. I am most passionate tutoring students in Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and preparation for the MCAT.
