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.

...a small private school where I met with clients who struggled with spelling, writing, and reading comprehension. All three of these skills are interconnected, and progress in these areas requires use and understanding of complex syntax, morphology, phonetics, orthography and semantics. For this reason, I utilize a multilinguistic approach that simultaneously targets word-level spelling and reading, vocabulary expansion, spelling and writing conventions,and the use and comprehension of complex sentence structures. This approach can be tailored...

...Neurology Resident at Kansas University Medical Center. I am ready to tutor a number of subjects, but I would like to help students with MCAT or GRE test preparation.

In my free time I like to ride, exercise, play with my dogs and explore Kansas City.

I enjoy helping students to succeed in all academic areas. I have years of experience and try to bring my knowledge to personalize all help I am able to give to students. My faith and family are the only things that mean more to me than educating students and helping them succeed.
