Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Overland Park, KS

...the sciences. I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to helping others achieve their academic goals. For my hobbies I enjoy being outdoors and outdoor activities including camping, hiking, backpacking and canoeing. I also like traveling. Conversational spanish is a skill that I acquired while traveling. I love spending time with my family and friends and I am advance rescue certified in SCUBA diving.

...in high school and my natural talent for explaining concepts in a variety of ways began to emerge. My patient and caring nature allows me to reach a variety of students and help them reach a new level of understanding and knowledge. I enjoy tutoring all types of students and learners in all different subject areas. As a current 4th grade teacher, I value education and enjoy working with all types of students in both...

Make every effort to make yourself improved, a student need not be ashamed!... Keep it simple student!... I will do an interview. I will attempt to understand how the student is thinking -- in detail or short and sweet!... Don't be lazy! A student is one who studies. If you can eat, drink, and breath daily, then why can't you study daily. Apply yourself.... Take a break from studying. Sunday through Thursday study, and Friday and Saturday take a break! Make studying a challenge -- and accept the challenge.

...to both sides, then divide both sides by q". That's already excellent. I prefer to take it one step further. If a student asks me to "how do I solve for x?" we will learn it together. We will take a dive through our 'resources' or our textbooks, and together we will find the pieces of the puzzle, without having me explicitly tell the student where the pieces are located to the puzzle of 'solving...

...and have just moved back home to the Kansas City area to start my job at Deloitte Consulting in the near future. During the time I was pursuing my undergraduate degree I tutored for introductory engineering courses such as Chemistry and Physics, and helped grade and guide students on their lab reports in the Introduction to Industrial Engineering course. I love helping students, and really consider it to be one of my hobbies, as I...

...of Kansas, and am also a member of the KU Honors Program. As a native of Colorado, I love the great outdoors and have done everything from skydiving to climbing a few "14ers". I place great value on education and see the importance in attaining a deep understanding of academic subjects. I have a casual teaching style and do my best to teach my students the value of what they are learning. I specialize in...

...it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a new perspective and to understand (so as to enlarge) someone else's perspective. In my non-teaching time, I am interested in Physics...

...like the ACT with everyone from my 10 year old nephew to my classmates in school. I don't think that science and math has to be as intimidating or scary as the world makes it out to be. Often times if we don't understand something, it's simply because it hasn't been explained to us in a way that caters to our strengths. I love math and the predictive nature of numbers. If I'm not in...

...exams, including AP Latin and what used to be AP Physics B, and can tutor them upon request; however, I prefer to focus more on tutoring test prep such as PSAT/SAT/ACT/GRE and competition math. I consider my tutoring style to be less rigid: I prefer for my students to come with questions in advance for me to answer rather than have me set a plan of covering x, y, and z material for a set...

...group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's important to let students do as much of the work independently as possible so that they stay involved in the learning process, and...
