Award-Winning AP English Language and Composition Tutors serving Shawnee Mission, KS

As a teacher and tutor, one of the things that I enjoy most is helping students find the confidence to tackle their challenges in academics. I aim to understand each student to the best of my ability in order to provide valuable learning tactics for an ever changing world.

Efficiency is the value 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...
