Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Kansas City, MO

...B.A. in Mathematics & Statistics, an M.A. in Teaching, and ongoing graduate work in math, I've spent over 20 years in the classroom and more than 30 years tutoring learners from sixth grade through AP Statistics. I quickly pinpoint skill gaps, then use patient, real-world explanations and step-by-step reasoning to rebuild foundations so every new concept clicks. My goal is to replace math anxiety with the satisfying moment of "I get it!"

...both rhyme and reason to its madness. This understanding led me to majoring in chemistry. With all of the analytical science under my belt, the math just came naturally. Minoring in mathematics made sense because of the critical role the subject plays in chemistry. I can tutor students with topics such as: chemistry, physical science, quantitative analysis, laboratory techniques, arithmetic, pre-algebra, SAT math preparation, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and both differential and...

I believe that tailoring a plan for those achievements should focus on flexibility and differentiation, as well as learning styles and previous achievements and challenges.

I have taught elementary school fourth and fifth grades, as well as middle school American...

...I was amazed at how some numbers on paper or lines on a computer screen can result in a real functioning machine. When I teach, my passion is to relay this awareness to each student. But I discovered many students had difficulty with the math. Over the years I realized the reasons are as numerous as the number of students I taught. Tutoring, one on one, provides me the opportunity to discover the exact difficulty...

I received a Bachelors Degree from Knox College and a Masters from UMKC, both in economics. I currently teach college level economics while I'm working on finishing my PhD. In addition to economics I tutor math and writing. When not reading, writing, and teaching I like to sing, play music (accordion and guitar), and play ultimate frisbee.

My ultimate goal is to strive for the highest and to inspire those with whom I interact to do the same. Be the best that you can be, and be proud of the things you do.

...my Sophomore year at Kansas State University majoring in Computer Science. I'm excellent at Math and Science and love to learn in general. I love to help people out and thought that this would bee a great opportunity to help kids who are struggling.

...with both parents and many siblings being teachers, one might say I was born a teacher. But one would be showing their need for tutoring in Biology!

My undergraduate work was in Physics and Math (BA) with graduate work in math, Theology, and educational leadership (M.Div., M.A. Ph.D.). My calling as an educator has been to promote life-long learning in areas of...

...in giving my students resources that help them continue learning 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,...

...subjects to tutor are Anatomy/Physiology and math. Anatomy and Physiology are fun to tutor because there is a lot of logic involved with them and by ensuring the understanding of the basic concepts with these courses, you can logically work through any complex question presented to you. These classes also get you to think deeper than a surface level or just the memorization of facts, which I believe is what learning actually is. Math is...
