...needed a tutor, I understand the frustration and humiliation that comes with doing poorly in a subject. I pride myself on being able to communicate with my students on a deeper level so I know exactly what they need from me, and how to cater to their needs specifically. I try to keep my own knowledge current. I'm able to tutor the subjects that I do because they're things I enjoy not just in an...

...for subjects like English, American Literature, Political Science, American History, Social Studies, and Legal Studies. I have years of experience with regard to academic achievement and my approach to teaching focuses on the individual needs of the student and does not attempt to impose one academic approach. I have found that flexibility in teaching is key and that kids and young adults need that flexibility if they are to do their best. I'm an individual...

...confidence, as they are important soft skills to develop not only professionally, but academically as well. Leadership and confidence translates into drive, and drive translates to motivation, tenacity, and self-enterprise. I am an avid trivia geek, a giant science nerd, and a musician!

...because it is a language that we use to interpret what happens around us. That is why it becomes really important to excel in math skills as its applications are endless. I enjoy the process of helping students because understanding math is not only about understanding math. It is also about applying that math in real life. My approach to helping you get there is first to make sure that you understand the concept behind...

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.

...saving measures for their peers. No pressure, right!?! :) While in college, I set up many of study groups for subjects such as physics, genetics, immunology and MCAT preparation. Once in chiropractic school, study groups was pivotal in my achievements as a student. It didn't matter if it was a hands on practical or a written exam, I would ensure I was prepared by attending many individual and group study sessions. It seems everyone has...

...regardless of cognitive ability. I have spent the majority of my life learning about different subjects that interested me. As a young girl, I dreamed about the day when I could be fluent in the English language; I worked very hard toward that goal. As I grew older, my objectives shifted, but my joy for learning never ceased. I have worked with students with disabilities and behavior differences, and I can honestly say that I...

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.

There no better way to learn than with someone who genuinely cares about your success. I believe that everyone can learn anything, it just takes the time and the right kind of methods for them.

...and caring educator is what helps students achieve their fullest potential. Recognizing that all students learn differently is a key factor in reaching educational goals, which is why I teach content using differentiated instruction. I am excited to branch out and tutor subjects besides Spanish in the Kansas City area, including Math and English language skills, even though Spanish holds a special place in my heart. When I am not teaching Spanish, I enjoy reading...

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...

...I really enjoy doing. I've always enjoyed doing math, and I thought I would want to be a teacher, in a nice school, with a nice class of students, but the big groups are not for me. I much prefer that the one on one style of teaching. I've been doing tutoring since early high school, and I get more and more satisfaction with each person I help. I also enjoy the challenge of finding...

I am a Finance Major and Biochemistry Minor at Arizona State University. I have helped tutor my peers throughout my educational career. My approach is all about helping the student understand "Why" something works the way it does and not just "How". I have found that this helps students retain information better because it gives them a more complete understanding of the material.

...other instruments, as well. I also love football; I'd mention my favorite team, but why become enemies right off the bat? Video games have also been a big part of my life and I still play whenever I get the chance. Regardless of how you feel about math or about your own abilities in the subject, I'm sure that we can work together to make learning math not just simple, but enjoyable. It doesn't take...
