I especially love to tutor in French, which I studied at the Universit du Havre and minored in during college. I believe that curiosity is the most...

Mary: Olathe SSAT test prep instructor
I am a young teacher that is dual certified in Mathematics and English Language Arts. I am enthusiastic about teaching and I love fostering a deeper understanding and love for mathematics in my students. I love working with middle school students and helping them develop study skills that will last them through their college careers. ... I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster a love for learning. Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Humans have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student. It is my goal as a tutor to instill learning and study strategies into my students to help them succeed in any classroom.

Linda: Olathe SSAT test prep instructor
...we can each continue on that journey throughout or lives. No one person understands or internalizes each lesson in exactly the same way, although many of the basic principles are the bases for this understanding and future growth. It is here where we are charged to help others understand in a manner that best accommodates their learning, and then empower them with the tools (and desire) to seek out those answers on their own.... I always want to know what the learner's past experience has been with a particular subject and where the breakdown began. Everyone can learn; they just need to believe it-and they need someone to help them understand in a way that best meets their needs. If my learners know that I am invested in their success and care about who they are, then they will begin to rise to the expectations and soon have the confidence and the abilities that were hidden there all along.

The exchange of information and education is a passion for me! Creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere will allow learning to be enjoyable and memorable for all parties involved!... Keep it entertaining! I love using innovative and contemplative approaches to teaching; learning should be permanent and fun!... Breaking the ice and laughing is always a good idea for a first lesson! Introductions and getting to know someone is exciting, and I would have a few questions, as well as have information about myself to share with the student before jumping right into the task at hand. Certainly, we will get to know each other more as time went on, but fun first impressions are great!

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 condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority improve their...
