Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Shawnee Mission, KS

...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!

I'm an Undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering and Linguistics at the University of Kansas. I specialize in Mathematics and English, and I enjoy helping others reach their goals in their academic careers. I believe anyone can learn a skill or subject, once they view it from the right perspective!

...TA in raising student's grades. I have the knowledge necessary to teach the subjects at hand, as indicated by my majors.

...very basic principals. First, "Perfect practice makes perfect." I use this modification on the old adage to show that when practicing anything from math to grammar, repetition of the correct kind is absolutely key. Secondly, I believe that every piece of knowledge obtained through school can be treated like a tool in a tool belt. Every student, no matter how old or young, experienced or novice, gifted or challenged can learn to use their tools...

...knowing they won't need a tutor for life. So, who am I? I grew up homeschooled and in a large family, so tutoring my siblings became part of the school day. I am a photographer because I enjoy finding the detail even in the subjects that cause us pain and seeing the beauty in the frustration that leads to success. I am a world traveler that enjoys learning about different cultures and seeing how different...

...students have the desire to learn new material, but sometimes they may need assistance in order to be more confident. I enjoy developing the relationships with the students I tutor and seeing their growth. I have over ten years experience teaching students at the high school level. I currently teach Algebra, Geometry, and AP Statistics. However, I have experience with all course up to Calc 3. My success rate is high and I pride myself...

...and Physics. When working with a student, I have found that showing the student that you are excited and interested in the subject, as well as connecting it to a real world situation or profession makes the atmosphere fun and relaxed. Under those circumstances, learning is easier and the knowledge is more effectively retained. I believe that a strong math and science education lays the foundation for success in any field, as skills such as...

Biology, chemistry, and related electives are tough courses that demand rigorous study. As a tutor and soon to be medical student, I am passionate about helping students master these subjects. I know firsthand how difficult these classes can be and how important success is for acceptance into a professional school. My goal is to facilitate your learning in the most effective way possible by empowering you to be successful.... First, I like to find out what...

...and prepped for tests like the ACT with everyone from my 10 year old nephew to my classmates in school. I don't think that science and math has to be as intimidating or scary as 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....

My name is Constanze, and I love math! I understand that many others don't, and that is why I am becoming a teacher. I have over two years of experience tutoring beginner's algebra through calculus, and I truly enjoy helping others understand mathematical concepts.... I would first like to get to know them a bit by asking what their favorite and least favorite subjects and activities are. That way I can begin to formulate a plan...

...and calculus, namely because of the relevant connections that can be made between these subjects and our everyday life. During the week, you can find me doing research in the lab, talking to students about getting involved in research labs as an undergraduate in my position as a Research Ambassador, or volunteering at KUs Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. On the weekends, I'm a fan of trying new foods, spending time outdoors and hanging...

...Physics, Engineering, High School Physics, IB Physics, Math, Philosophical Ethics, Philosophy, Physics, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Science, Social Sciences, Statics and Dynamics, and Trigonometry. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics and Philosophy because they challenge me to think and teach both abstractly and concretely. Physics and Philosophy also relate very easily to my life, so I can usually come up with good teaching examples from my personal experience. I get passionate about whatever subject I am...

...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 subjects to competition math strategies.

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...

While tutoring I try to...

I'm excited for the opportunity to help students with math as it is a subject I thoroughly enjoy.

My name is Sandra Lugo, I worked at the university for 26 years where for my first 18 years I taught Calculus I and II, along with Static, Dynamic and Materials for Construction. I think my experience and my passion for teaching are my best introduction.

I love standardized tests. It might sound weird, but they're usually straightforward, you can sit with them for hours, and, most importantly, you CAN get better at them through practice. That's what I hope to help you do as you prepare for the LSAT, SAT, ACT or any other subject. I also have a blast editing essays, so make sure to use all of these services to their fullest potential!

...discovered yet, however, was how much magic there is in math and how math is everywhere. For example, he didn't realize how much math there is in music--both in rhythm and melody. He didn't know or care why the beat on eighth notes is twice as fast as the beat on quarter notes or why the sound of C and G sounds more "perfect" than the sound of C and F#. These are math questions...

...that if one practices enough in anything and is willing to struggle throughout the process, then they are able to succeed. I have lived a very fortunate life and have had the opportunity to grow academically. Practice had been the key for me to succeed academically. If you want to be the master of anything, then: "Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong." - unknown
