Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves...

...To me, the feeling I get when a student understands a concept they previously struggled with is priceless. I have tutored math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school.

...grade I decided I loved school so much that I was going to do it forever by being a teacher. While that 7-year-old mindset has matured, the underlying passion has not changed. I have been teaching high school math for 11 years and still love engaging with students about the subject. Throughout those 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with many types of students with many different skill levels. I've loved these...

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ...

In a typical first session with a student I will introduce myself and then...

If you're needing any help, I can get you up to speed! I do an excellent job of connecting with students and adapting to their learning styles.

...in Houston, Texas in 2010 with a degree in psychology and worked at a reading institute. My psychology education helped me understand why the reading institute was so effective and why many students struggle in other areas as well - they misuse their working memory! Our brains work by combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological...

...entire life. While working towards my degree at UMKC in Mechanical Engineering I have taught statistics, calculus, algebra, trigonometry, physics, 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...

...veteran of post secondary education. My favorite subjects to teach are Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology. I love talking about the amazing human body machine! Though not a chemist, I also enjoy teaching Chemistry. Over the course of many years I have learned that it is usually the math within chemistry that bogs students down.

...very capable writer as well. I can tutor nearly any S.T.E.M course up through highschool (and some college), along with English and grammar - more specifically paper writing - up to an early college level. When it comes to learning, I believe in two 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...

...answer you just made a simple mistake. I can help you make less of those mistakes, and that is where the most significant short term growth can be made.

...with them and by ensuring the understanding of the basic concepts with these courses, you can logically work through any complex question presented to you. These classes also get you to think deeper than a surface level or just the memorization of facts, which I believe is what learning actually is.

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.
