Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Lenexa, KS

...to 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 show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of...

...ACT), to various high-school subjects (including Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry). I scored in the 99th percentile of both the ACT and SAT, and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for.

I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job is seeing when a kid understands a...

...is 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...

...is a part of. I am very passionate about the importance of Spanish in America today, as well as helping Hispanic families learn English, while not forsaking their native language.

...no matter how old, every person has areas they can improve in.

I have attended Washburn University in Topeka Kansas, The University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, and Johnson County Community College in Olathe, Kansas. I am currently working on a Biotechnology degree after changing from...

Hello! I started my career as a zookeeper and followed my calling to education. I have been teaching secondary science for the last 10 years and have loved every minute. My goal for every tutoring session is to navigate through a challenging topic so the learner leaves with more confidence in his or her ability/knowledge and a better understanding of the content.

...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 to enlarge) someone else's perspective. In my non-teaching time, I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to...

...Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and that is what we will work towards, but i also intend for...

...in math, biology, anatomy, and test preparation. My favorite areas to tutor are test preparation and math. I understand how important tests such as the ACT and SAT are to many students, and how confusing math can be at times. I want to help students to improve their performance in both these areas. When I teach, I focus on concepts and understanding the larger picture. In addition, I advocate for practice and identifying patterns in...

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...

...tutoring and mentoring since I was about 16 years old. I know how frustrating it can be to not understand something while it is being taught in the classroom. As a result, I can connect with most of students pretty well. I let them know right off the bat that they are not alone and they can learn the material. After that we get right to work. If there is anything else you would like...
