Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...at Kansas University Medical Center. I am ready to tutor a number of subjects, but I would like to help students with MCAT or GRE test preparation. I favor the Sciences but I would be happy to tutor in any subject. I was a TA in college and taught other learners in medical school and residency. In my free time I like to ride, exercise, play with my dogs and explore Kansas City.

...a summer working in Kisumu, Kenya on a malnutrition project and I plan to work in Nicaragua on a project focused on bringing clean water to underserved communities in the future.

Some of my favorite movies are Finding Nemo, Lord of the Rings, and Elf. I look forward...

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ... I have two teaching philosophies as a tutor: to get students to think about science (and other classes) as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences.... In a typical first session with a student I will introduce myself and then ask them questions about themselves, such as "What is your favorite color?" or " What is your favorite hobby?" as an ice breaker and then follow up by telling them something about me.

...honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I am a scientist, so I mainly tutor chemistry, but I am also an excellent essay writer, editor, and test taker. As a result I am well equipped to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, math, essay writing, report writing, editing, and ACT Prep. I love seeing students with a genuine interest in chemistry and giving them the guidance and tools to understand its toughest concepts....

...favorite thing about teaching is helping students learn how awesome science is. Everything we interact with everyday is made possible because of it.

I was also in a fraternity at Missouri State, where I would frequently help younger members with their classes. I would do...

...Teaching has always come easily to me, and my students claim to learn well from my flexible teaching styles. I can effectively relate the material to students' lives so they can understand it in their own terms. If the student doesn't reach the answer on his own, then it won't be meaningful or committed to memory. I find a way to lead with questions so the students can feel the small triumphs of answering questions...

...level of understanding of the students. All too often instructors present material at their level of understanding and forget that their knowledge has come with years of exposure to a particular field. A question or concept that may be very familiar to an instructor is unknown to a student who has just begun to learn. I try my best to avoid what I may perceive as a small jump in logic because it often becomes...

...in a Biochemistry laboratory and presented my findings at the Undergraduate Research Symposium as well as published an honors thesis in the Journal of Undergraduate Research. My honors curricula focused extensively on oral and written communication in addition to community outreach. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I was directly involved in one-on-one learning sessions, lecturing, and classroom management. I taught Principles of Biology Laboratory independently for classrooms of 12 students. In order to engage more...

...someone who has successfully navigated from an undergraduate program to medical school, I understand and can relate to the struggles of a student that wishes to pursue the medical field. Therefore, my goal is to use my past experiences to tutor students efficiently and allow them to feel comfortable with the material.
