Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Kansas City, MO

I am retired classroom teacher. I taught for 40 years in Kansas and Missouri. I have a wide range of experiences teaching in the International Baccalaureate program specializing in Economics and Extended Essays. I was also an IEP case manager/Special Education teacher. I enjoy working with students who need support with executive functioning, study skills, and organization.

...has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that. Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly. After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and to experience teaching in a whole new...

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...

...For several years I taught privately as a violin teacher, and since violin is considered one of (if not the) most challenging instruments to learn, this experience gave me valuable lessons in teaching patiently and creatively. Each student and academic situation are unique, and as such, requires varying teaching methods. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead, strive to meet each student where they are and adapt the content to fit each students...

I have been tutoring for close to 20 years. I enjoy helping students fill in the gaps when it comes to mathematics, preferably upper level subjects such as algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I also enjoy helping students improve their ACT scores with better test taking strategies.

I believe that learning is not just a step in your life, but should be a continuous goal. Having a passion for learning drives new ideas, great practices, and exciting changes. I have a passion for STEM fields and love sharing these fields with the next generation of students!

...Pennsylvania, my curiosity pulled me many directions. I have since settled into a career doing digital forensics for investigations and love the challenges of keeping up with technology. Through my extensive training I have come to greatly appreciate those with not only the gift of knowledge and intelligence, but with the added gifts of communication and generosity. I enjoy sharing my love of learning, unraveling the psychology of testing and demystifying technology for all.

Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone to make a connection; learn something new or difficult; or to see how they apply this new understanding. Some information can be dry, scary, or very difficult to learn, but I think learning should not only be productive, but also fun.

Hello! I love to help people of every grade level.

...were. Tutoring should be interactive, a team effort. Let me help you gain a foundation and confidence and we will both see you soar. I love animals and that is probably what aids in my compassion. They don't judge and aren't afraid to fail and try again. We can learn so much from them. When I come home they help take all my worries away and have truly made me who I am today.... When a...

...to Kansas State University for my undergraduate degree and to University of Central Missouri for my graduate degree in Teaching, Curriculum and Instruction. I have tutored at Metropolitan Community College, and also taught some math classes.

I play disc...

...classes for preschoolers, corporate executives, and every skill level in between. But I have found the tutoring model of one-to-one instruction brings quicker results. I enjoy helping students achieve those "ah ha" moments when a concept clicks. Often that moment comes by relating a troubling concept to something the student enjoys. My diverse interests enable me to build rapport and relate assignments to real life. Encouraging students to clearly communicate through writing and verbally explaining...

...masters in elementary education from Rockhurst University. Throughout my educational career, I have been a summer school teacher assistant, elementary and secondary tutor (the elementary tutoring was mainly math), a resource aide, substitute teacher and a camp counselor. Nothing excites me more than watching children reach their full potential. I love it when the light bulb suddenly clicks in their head! I am a very hands on tutor and provide lots of opportunities for children...

...This is also my favorite subject to teach, which I attribute to my love of books and literature. The teachers I have had who have stood out to me all had common characteristics: they presented their subjects in a way that caught my interest. clarified difficult topics and led me through complex problems, and put knowledge into context that was relevant to me and my life. I view myself as a facilitator of learning, rather...

...the right help. As a past tutor with an After School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light throughout the learning process. I think a sense of humor is sometimes necessary in order to get through complicated lessons! I connect well with kids, teens, and adults, and would love...

...graduate of University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) where I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2013.

Recently, I obtained my teaching certification which qualifies me to teach math at both the middle and high school levels. I have a strong passion for both math and science, particularly algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry and organic chemistry.

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.

It is very satisfying to help a student grasp a previously difficult concept and to...
