Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Olathe, KS

I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

Due to my time spent studying foreign languages (Spanish, three Mayan languages, Middle Egyptian) I am also very good with writing, rhetoric, grammar, and style. When not teaching or doing research I might be found curling, running, woodworking, taking photographs, cooking with my well seasoned wok,...

...to shine. I use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on. Learning should not be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage...

...University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to...

I'm a master's student looking for a side gig over the summer. I enjoy teaching; I've student taught my peers through my own education plus two years of TA at a middle school. I like to make learning fun - riddles, puzzles, creative thinking over just filling in the right steps :)

There no better way to learn than with someone who genuinely cares about your success. I believe that everyone can learn anything, it just takes the time and the right kind of methods for them.
