Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Overland Park, KS

...of Missouri Kansas City where I am pursuing a six-year, combined BA/MD degree. In high school, I tutored numerous students in math and chess, both through private tutoring and camps. The students were in grades ranging from elementary school to high school, with each student having his/her own learning style and skill level. I have completed numerous AP courses and the IB diploma. Along with my current medical courses, they have provided me with a...

...fortunate enough to teach a pharmacology class to 15 Kansas University students. Yet, I am comfortable not only with college students, but with high school, middle school and even elementary school students. I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any math and science academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload in college has made me confident of my mastery and ability to tutor these subjects. Outside of academics, I...

...students learn how to effectively study for and take tests. I believe that no test should keep a hard working and knowledgeable student from succeeding. I didn???t always know I wanted to be a teacher, but I have always enjoyed tutoring my friends and family when they came to me asking for help. After I graduated, I tutored a woman who was studying for the citizenship test to become a U.S. Citizen. As a native...

...a burden and more of an opportunity for enrichment. Without proper and fun education in our lives, we would not only be constantly reliant on others to take care of us, but life would also be extremely boring. In my spare time, I enjoy my family. I have an equally (if not more so!) nerdy husband of 14 years, and together we have two beautiful kids (ages 7 and 10) and two high-maintenance but cherished...

...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 in the future....

...getting married. I have extensive experience in Mathematics and Science, and I am a 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...

...student, I spent several years as a Physics teaching assistant. My experience at the universities has included both teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's important to...

...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 experiences because it...

...to Algebra 1, all levels of French, and test prep (including ACT). As someone with an appreciation for languages, I especially like tutoring English and French. Since I am a certified teacher, I am prepared to present information in a variety of ways to help my students with understanding. Additionally, I like to help my students take responsibility for their own learning during our sessions. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my roommates...

...a bachelors in Biology. During my time there I tutored many students, aged middle school to college, in subjects including SAT and ACT prep, Algebra, Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. I then worked in a neuro-psychiatry laboratory before starting medical school in Kansas City. Throughout my lengthy education I have taken several courses on each of the subject that I tutor and have taken quite a few standardized exams. This has allowed me not only to...
