Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Kansas City, MO

Hello! I am a dog loving lawyer in the KC area. I love tutoring as a part time job and have been doing it for years through various companies. I tutor a variety of subjects, and enjoy tailoring my approach to the specific needs of my clients.

...science to psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and linguistics. This blend of fields shapes how I approach teaching and coaching, allowing me to think about problems from different angles and help others do the same. I run my own coaching and consulting business where I focus on well-being in the workplace. My goal is to help organizations build programs that support not just productivity, but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of their employees. Through emotional...

...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 to find...

Getting students where they need to be in the academic world is one of my passions, because I had to work really hard in school as well to get where i really wanted to be. Let me motivate, tutor, and teach you in your learning style so that you can get over your own academic hurdles.

Studying Business Communication and Arabic at the University of Kansas. I love to tutor in History, English and geography. Enjoy running, hiking and swimming!... I always try to relate the certain subject or lesson to something in the outside world that the student knows. This helps them understand and relate to the question/lesson.... Get to know them as a person and academically, and see what level the student is at and what level they need to...

...time. That love of reading, has carried on into my adult life. I became a teacher after I was encouraged by my daughter's second grade teacher. The decision to choose Special Education was fostered from watching my sister and other children struggle with reading, writing, math, and other studies. I've been fortunate enough to watch my students learn, grow, become confident, self-advocate, and achieve in furthering their education or skills after high school. It is...

...a Special Education Teacher of 11 years, experience in the public school systems, as well as in the hospitalized and special day school settings. I live in the Midwest with my two daughters, and my husband, who has just joined the field of wind energy. I have always loved academia, with particular strengths in the arts and research. I enjoy reading, incorporating creativity into my teaching practices, and teaching students how to mark and track...

...after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small...

...at MCC Kansas City and Park University (upcoming). I am currently working towards my bachelors in English with a Marketing minor. I have been tutoring for over 7 years.

...hour per week. Ricky was in danger of being held back a year because he was failing math. It's not that he couldn't do it, he just wasn't interested. He was interested in magic and loved performing magic tricks (David Copperfield was his hero). He was good, too. What he hadn't discovered yet, however, was how much magic there is in math and how math is everywhere. For example, he didn't realize how much math...

I am a scholar with a Masters in History from UMKC and a BA in English/History of Rockhurst. I've always been passionate about both and I am widely read. I can help you understand the context of history or the meaning of a novel and help you succeed. I obtained a 5 on the AP US Gov, AP US History, AP Lit and AP Language examinations, and can thus help for test prep as well.

...and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from academic math subjects to competition math strategies.

...School for The Arts, and I have been working on my degrees since. I've received two awards throughout my schooling for being an Advanced Math Student - Once in 8th grade and another in Sophomore Year. I always excelled in math subjects and my students feel the difference! I truly love math and I like to think of it as a puzzle to solve. I also believe that there are no unintelligent students. There are...

...and "what", and teach them an enjoyment of learning even if they dont like the subject. I foster a fun and creative learning environment and meet your/your students individual needs. My experience includes classical education, private education, adult education, parent and student education, middle school students, college prep, college level English courses, and homeschooling my own children. I enjoy outdoor life: especially the hanging in my hammock in the mountains with a great book!

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...

...love the areas of English/essay writing and reading comprehension. As an avid reader myself, I love helping others be able to connect and understand the words on a page, and in congruence with that, I always love writing as well. I was probably one of the only people in my class who preferred essay answers instead of ones that had answers in front of you but were multiple choice or true/false. With this mindset, and...

...the chance to actively pursue. One of the best compliments I received was that when I taught a student something they were struggling with in class, they were able to grasp concepts right away. I have tutored peers in many subjects that they found difficult to grasp in class and I have experience tutoring middle and high school students, both in group and individual settings. Im from a small town in southern Illinois, where I...

...language as a native speaker. I received my teaching degree in Alberta, Canada. In my 20 years of teaching and tutoring, I have encouraged students from Kindergarten through college levels. I home-schooled my 3 children for 4 years before enrolling them in a Christian School, where I taught High School Spanish for 9 years. I have a BRE (Bachelor of Religious Education); ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International); and have been a chaplain of Boy...
