Award-Winning MCAT Tutors in Overland Park, KS

...to not only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related to their learning style so they may become an independent scholar. As an biomedical engineer, my strengths are in the sciences (biology, anatomy, physics, etc) and mathematics (algebra, calculus,...

...and writing because as someone who personally went through the process of learning English from scratch, I deeply understand the challenges involved in honing one's language skills. I hope to use the lessons I have learned from my experience to help others who are working on improving their reading and writing skills, no matter how far they are along the process. I am patient, persistent, supportive, receptive to feedback, and I always strive to adapt...

...teaching scene in a bit of an unconventional way. Throughout high school, I was involved in an organization called The Faraday Society (named in honor of scientist Michael Faraday). We performed awesome chemistry demonstrations for a variety of audiences, from elementary school kids to the general public. While we enjoyed using silly skits to engage with the audience, our primary goal was always to foster enthusiasm toward science. This gave me unexpected training in how...

...that I am passionate about. I discovered the profound impact mentorship can have on one's educational journey. My strengths lie not only in my academic background but also in my interpersonal skills and empathetic nature, qualities essential for fostering meaningful connections with students. I firmly believe in the value of active participation and learning through mistakes, echoing the sentiment of Weston H. Agor: 'Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster.' This philosophy serves as...

I am a motivated classroom teacher and home tutor with various training in lessons planning, teaching methodology, and classroom management. I use multiple methods to teach a given subject that best fits the student's needs. In many cases, I offered practical examples that have created a mental picture in the minds of the students, which have further capacitated their retentions...

...subject is chemistry, but I am also able to tutor biology and mathematics. My tutoring methods are pretty straightforward -- I will do my best to explain material in a way that is easy to understand, but I will encourage students to work problems on their own to prove they have in fact learned the material. I have tutored 10 students individually and been evaluated as having "outstanding" knowledge, organization, communication skills, attitude and overall...

...School of Law. My favorite moment came when I received a scholarship to complete a semester at Oxford University where I studied the philosophy of law and modern British history. I believe education is more than simply learning enough material to pass. Instead, I use my enthusiasm and knowledge to motivate students to not only get the best scores possible, but to learn real skills they will use throughout their education and in their lives....

...of teaching, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, at a variety of academic settings. Approximately 25-30 years of that experience has been part-time, and one year was full-time. I love teaching and helping people learn and discover things. Psychology is a fascinating and far-ranging subject with myriad applications. Actually, the subject of psychology is relevant to everyone, as we all behave and we all interact with the behavior of others. I love psychology, and I...

...a little bit to do with it as well. My father was a college professor at the University of Nebraska. He instilled in me the love for learning and the expectation to work hard and get results. I watched him plan his lessons nightly at the kitchen table and have never forgotten how important it is to plan for each and every subject. Being a tutor gives me the rare opportunity to do that for...

My favorite subjects to tutor are ESL, Reading, Writing, Grammar and Spanish. My tutoring style involves getting to know each other and sharing our interests, discovering my student's goals and preferred learning styles, and having fun while we learn! My interests outside of academia include reading, running, hiking with...

...to students. I also enjoy preparing students for test prep (ACT) and elementary and middle school-age students. My approach to teaching is to understand the student as an individual. I like to understand the student's strengths and weaknesses and work from there to expand their knowledge in a given subject. My goal is to push each of my students to venture beyond their limits and understand each concept, rather than learning the steps of a...

...and their ability to tackle academic weaknesses. I plan on achieving this by going through fundamental questions of the particular discipline and then working with the student in the specific areas of the discipline that they are struggling with. From previous tutoring experience, I have learned that each student has varying learning styles. Accordingly, I strive to adapt my teaching style for each of my students so that their academic potential is maximized. I have...

...a significant amount of academic career to supporting and demonstrating what can be accomplished when you are properly addressing how you learn. There are no one-size fits all models for learning and that is certainly the case instructing. I hope you feel comfortable telling me what helps you learn best as well as how I can best facilitate that. I majored in Biochemistry and Spanish at the University of Kansas and am currently working on...

...high schools over a 10 year career. A second career (23 years) in the pharmaceutical industry provided me with countless hours of learning about public speaking as well as diseases and their pharmaceutical treatments. I retired from the pharmaceutical industry in 2010 and started teaching as an adjunct human physiology instructor at a local community college and did this for 10 years. Finally, I began online tutoring for Varsity Tutors a few years ago and...

...have taken several courses on each of the subject that I tutor and have taken quite a few standardized exams. This has allowed me not only to master the information, but also to experience a variety of teaching styles. I know first hand how important it is to tailor teaching towards an individual and always work to make the most of my time spent with those I tutor. In my spare time I enjoy playing...

...Health System while applying to medical schools. Currently, I am preparing to switch gears and return to school for a linguistics program.

However, I've tutored other classmates in German, Spanish, chemistry, and physics. In addition to college courses, I've worked with classmates and colleagues...

I also enjoy calligraphy in my spare time as well as video games. Ich spreche Deutsche zu. (I speak German too).
