Award-Winning Engineering Tutors serving Shawnee Mission, KS

...tutoring, in part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both...

...from having always been the top of my classes and helping family and friends with different subject areas so they can not only improve their grades, but also gain more confidence in regard to the subject in hand.

While there are many differences in learning that accompany age, there is one thing that is the same across all ages: each student has their own individual learning style. Therefore, my primary goal is to not only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most...

...are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and that...

As such, I have extensive knowledge in the fields of Chemistry (high...

...a B.S. in Physics, with an emphasis in Astronomy and a minor in Math. My ultimate goal is to become a professional astronomer and educator, and I plan to start a Ph.D. program in the fall, most likely at KU. During my time at UMKC, I was a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader for introductory calculus-based physics. SI is, in essence, collaborative group tutoring, and my teaching style and philosophy stems from that. I try to...

...I'd mention my favorite team, but why become enemies right off the bat? Video games have also been a big part of my life and I still play whenever I get the chance. Regardless of how you feel about math or about your own abilities in the subject, I'm sure that we can work together to make learning math not just simple, but enjoyable. It doesn't take a genius to learn math!

...working both privately, and with the voluntary organizations, 'I Have a Dream Foundation' and 'Youth Competency in Math and Science'. My tutoring work spans over 23 years.

...alma mater. I hold an undergraduate degree in Genetics from KU Lawrence, and I am earning a medical doctorate from KU Medical School. During my undergraduate studies, I was a teaching assistant for basic biology (BIOL 100) as well as the accompanying lab (BIOL 102) for two years. Teaching biology to students who were non-majors in biology was a rewarding learning experience (pun intended). Every student is different, and we all learn in different ways....

...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. If I'm not in school you can probably find me in front of the box score of a basketball or...
