...member of the University Honors Program. I grew up in Topeka, KS and went to high school at Washburn Rural High School (which, despite its name, is a large, 6A suburban school) where I took mainly AP and honors classes. I have a passion for learning that I hope to pass onto you. My core teaching philosophy revolves around the fact that all students learn differently and have different interests and it is my job...

My dream job is to have my own research lab for idiopathic disease. This is due to scoliosis and polycystic kidney disease running in the family. My best subjects are Biology, Chemistry (biochemistry), and Calculus. I enjoy music as a means of relaxing and have classical training from my musician parents. I also enjoy calligraphy in my spare time as well as video games. Ich spreche Deutsche zu. (I speak German too).

...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 explained to us in a way that caters...

...where I am. For one summer, I taught Geometry to middle school students through Breakthrough Collaborative in Denver, CO. For two years, I was a Residential Assistant, helping students adjust to college and enforcing policies. I have observed and assisted a middle school business teacher. I have assisted and co-taught with a middle school mathematics teacher. Also, I have tutored several students in mathematics. I think it is important to make learning fun, engaging, and...

...my cumulative GPA of 3.99 and a GPA of 4.0 in my majors of Physics and Mathematics. However, I fully recognize that GPA does not provide a complete picture of a given student. Therefore, in addition to my GPA, I believe that I would be an excellent contributing member to the Varsity Tutors team because I have 1.5 years of experience in tutoring and supplemental instructing through UMKC's Academic Support and Mentoring. I was promoted...

...a family of teachers, my father was a college professor and my mother has a masters degree in education. I began my College career as an education major and began teaching as soon as I graduated! I then worked on and completed my graduate degree in curriculum and instruction. I have been teaching since the 1980s. I began tutoring shortly thereafter and find it to be satisfying for everyone involved - parents, students and teachers....

...I could be that nerd that they base TV characters on, though I have excellent communication skills. Teaching has always come easily to me, and my students claim to learn well from my flexible teaching styles. I can effectively relate the material to students' lives so they can understand it in their own terms. If the student doesn't reach the answer on his own, then it won't be meaningful or committed to memory. I find...

I am Ed, the Educator and Entrepreneur! I love working with students of all levels and building critical thinking and reasoning skills!

There no better way to learn than with someone who genuinely cares about your success. I believe that everyone can learn anything, it just takes the time and the right kind of methods for them.

...I tutor my students after school 2-4 days per week so I have plenty of experience. I currently live in North Kansas City with my wife and my pets (dog, cat, and lizard). Science is my lifelong passion, and discussing contemporary findings, scientific history, and futurism is something I love to do. I have particular interests in astronomy and science fiction. My wife and I love going on hikes, biking trails, exploring Kansas City, and...

...do. It's first a great excuse to meet new people in the Lawrence area, working together towards a goal makes it all the better. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Lawrence in 2013 for grad school, and I love it here. It's a pretty small town, so we've probably crossed paths at some point at the farmers market, at the monthly Free State Story Slam, or on an outdoor basketball court. And I...

...masters in Operations Research. I also have a bachelor's in Industrial Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I worked my way through college as a tutor through the university, working one on one with students from all walks of life. The one semester that I wasn't tutoring I was a teaching assistant for a physics class. Being a teacher/tutor is one of the great joys of my life. I have made it one of my...

My goal is to provide students with educational experiences that will prepare them for lifelong learning and help them achieve their maximum potential.

...mathematics major with computer science and economics minors. My two passions in life are God and mathematics. My goal is to help other students see the wonders and beauty that math can bring to everyday life. I have worked with several students in this area before, both as a paid tutor and as an unpaid fellow classmate. I approach tutoring as an opportunity for the student to come to the answer on their own with...

...school and my natural talent for explaining concepts in a variety of ways began to emerge. My patient and caring nature allows me to reach a variety of students and help them reach a new level of understanding and knowledge. I enjoy tutoring all types of students and learners in all different subject areas. As a current 4th grade teacher, I value education and enjoy working with all types of students in both the classroom...

...include a fully functioning Checkers AI, a Blackjack game, and several choose-your-own-adventure games. Besides programming and tutoring, I am an avid music listener and collector, and I also enjoy movies, books, tennis, and fashion. My prior experience includes organizing and participating in several volunteering events for children in foster care. This requires interaction with elementary-aged kids, so I am comfortable tutoring any age group! Tutoring is my main focus at the moment as I am...

...students today, and help express the true weight the subjects hold in the world of today and the world of tomorrow. I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Kansas, double majoring in math and computer science. A great tenacity has made my college career fruitful with a high GPA, Honors coursework, recognition at department events, as well as lab research work. I look to translate this hard-working nature to my tutoring sessions,...

Beyond the beauty and usefulness of math itself, mathematical problem solving teaches deduction and logic that are applicable far beyond numbers to every facet of daily life.

...I also understand that our current school system is not tailored to help individual students. As such, I aim to give students the extra help they need but cannot get in the classroom. I am in school at Grand Canyon University and am working on obtaining a degree in Elementary Education. I currently work full-time as a literacy interventionist in a local elementary school. I'm very good at staying organized and enjoy most school subjects.
