Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Shawnee Mission, KS

...math and science workload in college has made me confident of my mastery and ability to tutor these subjects. Outside of academics, I am passionate about global health and helping underserved communities. I spent a summer working in Kisumu, Kenya on a malnutrition project and I plan to work in Nicaragua on a project focused on bringing clean water to underserved communities in the future. In my free time, I love playing and/or watching basketball...

...I realized this passion and strength were driving me towards education. Since then, I've enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities to further their math skills. I believe that everyone has mathematical abilities and I enjoying working and watching these abilities grow and improve in students. In my free time, I enjoy running with my Border Collie/Lab mix, Sadya, and swimming laps. I tend to spend my evenings knitting or reading.

...as a paid tutor and as an unpaid fellow classmate. I approach tutoring as an opportunity for the student to come to the answer on their own with minimal guidance from me. My job is to simply watch the student work and if needed, lead them to the right answer. Ultimately, my goal is to help them see the bigger picture. I want every student to not only see the "how" of mathematics but the...

...the world makes it out to be. Often times if we don't understand something, it's simply because it hasn't been explained to us in a way that caters to our strengths. I love math and the predictive nature of numbers. If I'm not in school you can probably find me in front of the box score of a basketball or football game trying to make two completely different worlds make sense together.

...high school days, where I received the International Baccalaureate Diploma from North Kansas City High School. Tutoring was an important component of the community service aspect of the diploma, and I was able to work with students in the areas of Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology. In college, I was also involved in tutoring, working with students in a range of subjects from College Algebra to Calculus in math, and all sorts of science courses,...

Make every effort to make yourself improved, a student need not be ashamed!... Keep it simple student!... I will do an interview. I will attempt to understand how the student is thinking -- in detail or short and sweet!... Don't be lazy! A student is one who studies. If you can eat, drink, and breath daily, then why can't you study daily. Apply yourself.... Take a break from studying. Sunday through Thursday study, and Friday and Saturday take a break! Make studying a challenge -- and accept the challenge.

...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 grow as an...

...undergraduate degree at KU after taking classes for fun. While at KU, I taught classes in calculus and pre-calc as an Assistant Instructor (business graduate school) and as a TA (undergraduate). I also tutored friends on the side. I enjoy teaching and tutoring. I'm also very patient. I have a business background, including banking, accounting, and human resources. This helps me make math relevant. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, golf, travel, and reading.

...and The University of Illinois (MS & PhD--Physics). I also studied Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics as a graduate at Cambridge University in England. I have taught and/or tutored mathematics and science in California, Kansas, Florida, and Missouri. It seems that I've always loved math and science. Now, I especially enjoy helping others understand those subjects with the hope that maybe, given enough time and effort, they may come to appreciate--even "love"--the subjects, too!

...x?" we will learn it together. We will take a dive through our 'resources' or our textbooks, and together we will find the pieces of the puzzle, without having me explicitly tell the student where the pieces are located to the puzzle of 'solving x'. Outside of academia, I love to compete in competitive dancing simulation video games. (If you've heard of Dance Dance Revolution, or Just Dance, you will know what I mean!). It...
