Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...instructor, and even as a learner myself. My applied experience tutoring and leading classes at a variety of levels combined with my knowledge of student learning styles and pedagogy make me an excellent candidate for tutoring assignments. I have the experience, knowledge, confidence, and patience to manage the needs of a wide variety of students in many fields of both mathematics and the natural sciences. As an undergraduate at a liberal arts University I gained...

...such a range of topics that complete understandings of everything is sometimes impractical. I believe repetition helps immensely with the ACT. Taking multiple practice tests followed by careful analysis over the missed questions helps students find their weak areas and work on those specifically. I prefer having the student take practice tests both timed and untimed on their own time so that when we meet the entire time can be spent identifying and working on...

...things! It is the only way I could know for sure that I have mastered a material. By using creative, and interactive methods, I am able to teach students effectively at their skill level, because I know everyone learns differently. I graduated with a BA in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from Cottey College. In college, I tutored students in Statistics, Introductory/Molecular Biology, General Chemistry, and English. My hobbies are acting, yoga, and hiking.

...a very big fan of chemistry and calculus, namely because of the relevant connections that can be made between these subjects and our everyday life. During the week, you can find me doing research in the lab, talking to students about getting involved in research labs as an undergraduate in my position as a Research Ambassador, or volunteering at KUs Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. On the weekends, I'm a fan of trying new...

...I focused on Physical and Earth Science. I am most passionate about tutoring science and helping students understand how to ask questions and develop procedures to answer those questions. When working with students one on one I make sure to evaluate their current knowledge and make sure there's a strong foundation on which we can build. I especially enjoy using visual and hands-on tools to help make abstract principles more concrete. In my spare time...

...style to fit their unique learning needs and strengths. My approach goes beyond explaining concepts I aim to help students understand how they learn best, develop effective study habits, and become independent thinkers. I believe in creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are opportunities for growth. In my previous roles as a Supplemental Instruction Leader, peer tutor, and mentor, I have guided students with varying levels of confidence and skill, from...

...attitude and overall tutoring ability. They have said that "he is thoroughly helpful and explains concepts in great detail", he models "good study methods and strategies", and he "describes equations and provides tips to solve them faster on tests." While I may specialize in tutoring intro level college chemistry and high school chemistry, my main goal is to help students develop efficient study methods and time management skills that can be implemented in any class they...

...taught for more than 3 decades and still enjoy sharing my knowledge of science with students. I am most happy when my students master a concept and become more confident in themselves. I am very excited to have the opprtunity to connect with students across the nation and help them become successful in science. In my spare time I love to be in nature biking or hiking with my family and reading.

...philosophy being reasoned thought and repeatable habits. The goal is to encourage thinking in rational ways in the classroom, in groups and when distance learning outside the classroom. I emphasize to the student the need to inventory their resources with the goal of learning how to remain productive while working alone. Finally, I aim to encourage the students to learn about their strengths and weaknesses, especially when it comes to learning.

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ... I have two teaching philosophies as a tutor: to get students to think about science (and other classes) as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences.... In a typical first session with a student I will introduce myself and then...

I enjoy helping students reach their highest potential. My philosophy is that all people can learn and finding their intelligence is my goal in tutoring.

I am a senior at KU studying Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I am studying to become a doctor and am looking forward to medical school!

...studying to become an anesthesiologist. During medical school, I have been a teaching assistant in our medical school's anatomy lab. Before medical school I lived in Nicaragua for several years where I became fluent in Spanish. To help you learn, I believe in using real world examples and the concept of see one, do one, teach one; meaning we'll go through examples together and you'll eventually be teaching me. I look forward to meeting you...

...challenging topics into manageable parts, instilling confidence and understanding in my students. I believe that using real-world examples, such as the practical applications of chemical principles, enhances learning and retention. My tutoring approach emphasizes interactive engagement, allowing students to explore their thought processes while I guide them through problem-solving. I am eager to support college students in subjects like Calculus, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Biochemistry, or Physics, fostering their academic success and love for science. Outside of...

I am a second year medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine with an interest in surgery. I hope to make a difference in the world, be it large or small and through teaching I can accomplish that!

As a tutor, I would like to foster not only mastery of individual subjects, but a strengthened approach to academia in general. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing and writing music on the guitar, watching movies, playing basketball with my friends, and hanging out with my animals.

...newfound appreciation for these subjects. My teaching style focuses on "learn and teach back", utilizing visual learning and memorization tactics, mnemonics among a variety of other tools and exercises. I have experience tutoring students from college level through elementary school level in courses relating to science, math, English and social studies. I have experience in tutoring a middle school student over the span of two years in various subjects facilitating in raising her GPA and...

...college, thus achieving an intermediate level and being able to tutor basic French. I also worked as an Anatomy & Physiology teaching assistant where I guided students through both human and rat dissections. Some of my other duties included answering general questions over Anatomy and Physiology and helping set up and tear down in-class lab experiments. I was given this opportunity for being part of a small percent of students who earned an A in...

I have over eight years experience tutoring, mostly in math and science, but other subjects as well. I attempt to find analogous concepts from a student's other interests or daily experiences to make abstract concepts more understandable. I believe that generally, grasping a concept follows on from realizing it's not so foreign as we used to think.

I have my masters in biomedical sciences and my bachelors in mathematics. I love hiking, walking my dog, and being with family. I am passionate about helping students understand material and feeling confident in their courses!
