Award-Winning Biology Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...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 don't lecture; 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...

...only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related to their learning style so they may become an independent scholar. As an biomedical engineer, my strengths are in the sciences (biology, anatomy, physics, etc) and mathematics (algebra, calculus, geometry, etc)....

I am a senior at KU studying Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I am studying to become a doctor and am looking forward to medical school!

I graduated from Washburn University, majoring in Biochemistry and a minor in biology. I'be been tutoring for 12 years and been a Substitute teacher for elementary through high school for 1 year.

Just graduated from the University of Arkansas with my B.S. in kinesiology and a minor in spanish. I am now attending medical school at KUMC. I enjoy exercise, current events/following the news, investing, spending time outdoors, and going out with friends

...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 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...

...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 patient, persistent, supportive, receptive to feedback, and I always strive to adapt my tutoring...

...be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that. Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly. After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and to experience teaching in a whole new way!

...the pharmaceutical industry in 2010 and started teaching as an adjunct human physiology instructor at a local community college and did this for 10 years. Finally, I began online tutoring for Varsity Tutors a few years ago and have focused my efforts with over 60 students (and counting) in the two areas that I feel interest me the most and where I have the most experience: anatomy and physiology, and public speaking. I have a...

...passion in that field. I think the major focus of any tutoring session has to be focused around knowledge AND habit retention. Not only should the student learn the content, they should also learn how to continue delving into the subject and develop strong study/homework habits specific to the subject. Each subject has to be approached in a unique fashion to tailor the session to the needs of the student. Outside of school, I enjoy...

...at, and I am confident that I can share some of my expertise. With my engineering background and literary skills, I am prepared to tutor a variety of subjects. That being said, some of the subjects I tutor most are ACT, various branches of math, engineering, reading, and Spanish. I am so grateful for this opportunity to tutor because for me, it doesn't feel like work. I cherish the opportunity to help students who want...

...at Northwestern University looking to major in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from academic math...

...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 most common approach leading to the road of success is identifying any weak areas and addressing them. I have had wonderful instructors who have done exactly that and have left a lasting impression on me; I know what it's like...

...am also very confident in tutoring for math subjects as I have tutored many students 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...

...a student "gets it" or the "lightbulb" moment is one that is very rewarding I feel it is one of my callings in life to help others overcome their difficulties. The purpose of teaching is not to pour information into the minds of students, but to invite and inspire the student to apply the knowledge to multiple situations and be inspired to seek further knowledge. I make a conscious effort to be friendly and connect...

...passionate medicine and plan to apply to medical school. I have always enjoyed teaching. During college, I would tutor my friends in Calculus and Organic Chemistry, both 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....

...through volunteer work which allowed me to help students learn how to read one-on-one. Additionally, as a student myself, I know the time that a student chooses to get help is sacred time, as everyone lives such busy lives. Because of this, I do not believe in simple busy work or wasting any students time. Because of my experience as a medical student, I have a lot of exposure to Biology and Chemistry classes. I...

...struggling with. From previous tutoring experience, I have learned that each student has varying learning styles. Accordingly, I strive to adapt my teaching style for each of my students so that their academic potential is maximized. I have mainly tutored high-school students and college students. In high school, as a junior and senior, I tutored many different math courses and I also tutored in biology/chemistry. In university, I have tutored in general chemistry. My favorite...

...manner that is easy to learn, and I enjoy tailoring the simplification process to best fit the individual. As someone who has been tutored in the past I understand the challenges certain courses have and want to pay it forward by helping others master these courses. I received my B.A. in Human Biology with a concentration in Anthropology and am happy to help my students improve and ultimately succeed in the sciences. In my free...

...others become more successful in what they are trying to achieve whether it be spelling words, essay writing, math facts, phonics and beginning reading, algebra, oganization and study skills, getting prepared to take the ACT or SAT to get into the college of their choice to studying for exams in high school and college. I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages in all academic areas and can't wait to help...
