Award-Winning ISEE- Lower Level Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...any student succeed. I earned a Bachelor's in General Studies from Emporia State University which was a self-programmed public relations degree. Over the years I have found myself conducting 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...

...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.

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...

...Psychology with a minor in Spanish Language. While in high school, I tutored many students through my high school's tutoring program. I mainly tutor in Math and Spanish (specifically Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 2 and Spanish 1-4). I would describe my teaching style as very different depending on the student I am tutoring because I aim to find the best method of teaching that is most beneficial to each student! Aside from Academics, I enjoy...

...at MU for Health Sciences Seminar and Learning Strategies. The courses included teaching students: study techniques, academic planning, professional development, time management, motivation, campus involvement, stress management and other academic related skills. I was also an academic adviser at MU where I counseled students on selecting a major, creating a four-year plan of study and to pursue internships compatible with their career goals.

...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 than someone who simply delivers information to students.

...right light, 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...

...reasoning and the GMAT quantitative comparison. I know how difficult some of this material can be because I have worked very hard to master it myself! Due to my time spent studying foreign languages (Spanish, three Mayan languages, Middle Egyptian) I am also very good with writing, rhetoric, grammar, and style. When not teaching or doing research I might be found curling, running, woodworking, taking photographs, cooking with my well seasoned wok, or visiting art...

...use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on. Learning should not be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep...

...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.

At NRS, I was able to support volunteers in providing trauma-informed services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth. I...
