Award-Winning Latin Tutors in Lenexa, KS

...because it allows me to use what I have learned in such fields to help others gain confidence in and become excited about a subject. I especially love to tutor in French, which I studied at the Université du Havre and minored in during college. I believe that curiosity is the most important ingredient in learning. As a tutor, I ask questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show...

...at a local synagogue. My class focused on the role of women in some of the most pivotal stories in the bible. This experience gave me first hand experience in tailoring subjects to the learning styles of my students and also taught me how to bring subjects, often viewed as boring, to life for them. I really enjoy working with students on History and English, as well as Critical Reading and Writing test prep. I...

...English and Reading, I also like to tutor for Mathematics (particularly Algebra and Geometry and anything new building towards them) and Latin, which I have studied for five years. I also offer ACT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement (AP) Test Prep. I'm a patient fellow and therefore can afford to support the Socratic Method; I feel that students learn best when they arrive at answers to their own questions through the guidance of instructors.

...have a long background in the arts and literature. I completed a BFA in Painting at the University of Iowa, a JD at the University of Tulsa and an MA in Classics at the University of Kansas. After law school, I practiced law in New York City for ten years before deciding to go back to school for Classics. I am currently developing a publication on the relative clause in Ancient Greek and I hope...

...a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of...

...variety of topics. Classics, which could be broadly defined as the study of ancient world, demands proficiency not only in Greek and Latin but also history, literary criticism, and of course persuasive writing. I can consequently teach subjects ranging from Latin to English literature and composition. Besides Latin, one of my favorite topics to teach is writing. Writing is a chief personal pleasure and perhaps my greatest talent, and I derive just as much enjoyment...

...in advanced math concepts, adding ACT/SAT test preparation to my repertoire during my senior year. I have taken 12 AP tests, including AP Latin and AP Physics B, and can tutor them on request; however I generally prefer to tutor ACT/SAT/PSAT test preparation and math, especially pre-collegiate competition mathematics. I have edited numerous essays for my peers while in high school, shortening them to fit under the word limit and helping with the brainstorming of...

...Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, both from the University of Missouri - Kansas City. As an undergraduate, I started tutoring with a program at my university. I worked with students from 18 - 50 in subjects such as Latin, Religious Studies, English Language Arts, and Basic Computer training. During my teacher training and after graduation, I taught students from 6th - 12th grades Latin, Etymology and German. I have taught English to non-native...

...because of these experiences. While at the University of the South, I took 5 education courses and tutored in Grundy County (TN) Middle School and Franklin County (TN) High School. Unfortunately, my school phased out their licensure program my sophomore year. I took a semester off and taught Outdoor Education at the YMCA of the Ozarks in 2010. I returned to school and graduated in 2011 with a BA in Political Science with minors in...

...in middle school. I got a MAL degree with a concentration in Sociology from Hollins University and taught part-time for a community college. I started teaching full-time (World History and Latin) and decided to branch out and became certified to teach Math and Algebra 1 ( I had never really liked Math, so I can really connect with Mathaphobes). I decided to become certified in Social Studies and English because I enjoy them. I have...
