Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves in the future. When I can see the student understands a troubling concept so that s/he can explain...

...doing formal tutoring since 2013. Much of my teaching philosophy centers around one word: "why". Pushing students to understand why and how something works on their own significantly improves long term recall, instead of simply feeding them formulae and rules for them to regurgitate on an examination. As a 20 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize...

...three years. Branches of math that I tutored include college algebra, pre-calculus, calculus (1, 2, and 3), and linear algebra. I also tutored local middle school and high school students in pre-algebra, algebra (1 and 2), geometry, trigonometry, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and ACT/SAT Math Prep. While I was a tutor, I noticed my students' performance increase; I saw grades increase from C's and D's to A's, B's, and C's and test sub-scores increase by...

I am Ed, the Educator and Entrepreneur! I love working with students of all levels and building critical thinking and reasoning skills!

...is my passion, and I'm thrilled that we are able to interview patients in the hospital and learn from them very early on in the process. The best teachers I've ever had have been more than just adults. They were passionate about the material they taught, and that passion was carried over to me. That is the main thing I hope to show students. A passion that will help them understand the material better. One...

...didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Initially, I'd only decided to do it because my high school offered two free years of community college upon the completion of 50 hours of peer tutoring. However, as I spent time with my peers who were taking much of the same classes I was but just weren't getting it, I stumbled upon a passion I didn't know I had. I genuinely care about my...

I believe that education is the best, and sometimes only, way to level the playing field. I'm currently studying to be an elementary teacher and love working with students of all ages. Working with students on a daily basis has helped me to hone in on how to tailor lessons to individual students needs. I am excited to get the opportunity to continue this work through varsity tutors!

I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

The exchange of information and education is a passion for me! Creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere will allow learning to be enjoyable and memorable for all parties involved!... Keep it entertaining! I love using innovative and contemplative approaches to teaching; learning should be permanent and fun!... Breaking the ice and laughing is always a good idea for a first lesson! Introductions and getting to know someone is exciting, and I would have a few questions, as well as have information about myself to share with the student before jumping right into the task at hand. Certainly, we will get to know each other more as time went on, but fun first impressions are great!

...for nearly 15 years now. I have been getting paid to tutor for 12 years. I can tutor various subjects with my strengths being in Reading, Languages, Literature, History and Science. I am best with math grade 12 and lower. I have experience helping students pass their GED and I can help with all of the sections including math, science, and reading. I am fairly proficient in Spanish though I read and comprehend it better...

...the value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

Hello! Kansas City was my home growing up, before traveling to the University of Vermont for a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Japanese Studies, with a minor in History. I want to help students get into their own dream schools-- All it takes is the perseverance to study! I can help tutor ACT/SAT prep and all humanities, especially English and History!

...is important to tailor my lessons to each individual student, focusing on their preferred modality of learning, and using their strengths to improve their weaknesses. I have taught elementary school for eight years now, and worked with ESL and special needs students. I believe that everyone has something to offer and should be respected as the unique individual they are. I love making a difference in someone's life and strive to make a positive impact...

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.

Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!

...University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) where I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2013. I worked for Procter and Gamble for about five years as a process engineer and project manager. Recently, I obtained my teaching certification which qualifies me to teach math at both the middle and high school levels. I have a strong passion for both math and science, particularly algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry and organic chemistry.

I enjoy helping students reach their highest potential. My philosophy is that all people can learn and finding their intelligence is my goal in tutoring.

I am a sophomore at the University of Kansas with an extensive work experience tutoring for standardized tests. I've tutored dozens of students for the ACT, PSAT and SAT. I received a 35 on the ACT (36 Superscore) and a 1520 on the SAT. I was also a National Merit Scholar for the PSAT and received a score with the 99th percentile.

Welcome to my page! I just graduated from University of Missouri-Columbia with my BS in Biology. In August, I'll be heading to UMKC School of Dentistry. I'm hoping to use this summer to help someone else get ahead academically. I've tutored college-level biology courses at Mizzou, but am comfortable with a variety of science courses at any level.

Through 10 years of teaching at three different colleges, I know that great learning comes through individual advising sessions and conversations that allow students to address their concerns, develop their skills, and work on their goals.
