Often times if we don't understand something, it's simply because it hasn't been explained to us in a way that...

...in a small southeast Kansas town, but I have always considered Kansas City my home. I originally majored in Atmospheric Sciences. I have always had an obsession with the fascination of weather phenomena. However, I changed my major to Mathematics. I wanted to have a more diverse degree for career opportunities.

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just need to ask the right questions. Tutoring should be about identifying where a student is having problems, and then helping them devise their own strategies to address those problems and find answers on their own.

I have over eight years experience tutoring, mostly in math and science, but other subjects as well. I attempt to find analogous concepts from a student's other interests or daily experiences to make abstract concepts more understandable. I believe that generally, grasping a concept follows on from realizing it's not so foreign as we used to think.

I received a Bachelors Degree from Knox College and a Masters from UMKC, both in economics. I currently teach college level economics while I'm working on finishing my PhD.

...the CFA review program offered by Stella. In my experience helping others, I have learned to ask questions and make connections to things a student already understands in order to build a foundation for learning new concepts. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy music,...

...students learn differently and have different interests and it is my job to find ways to engage my students in a way that they are willing and able to learn. While I certainly am not perfect, I will work as hard as my students do to ensure that they have a successful learning experience.
