Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Shawnee Mission, KS

...I have learned to adapt to the individual needs of each student. Furthermore, I also volunteer at the UMKC Dream Project, an organization in which we tutor middle school and high school students from the Kansas City area. As a current medical student at UMKC, I am able to tutor higher level science courses, but I am also comfortable with helping my clients with math courses and test prep. My goal for my students is...

...lives of others. It may come as no surprise that one of my chief hobbies is reading; I try to read fifty new novels every year, many of which I can then recommend to my students! I tutor a broad range of subjects, most notably English, Literature, and ACT/SAT Test Preparations, but regardless of what I am tutoring, my teaching philosophy and style stems from building relationships with my students. While I have a great...

...studying Computer Science at the University 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...

...own questions as well. I believe 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...

...in the fall. I completed my MA with a 4.0 GPA and received a perfect score on the verbal GRE. I also scored 168 on the LSAT and graduated in the top ten percent of my law school class. My teaching experience includes two years' teaching Latin and Myth at the college level and two years' private tutoring of subjects ranging from the LSAT and GRE to languages such as Latin and Greek. My true...

...try to make sure that my student fully understands the concept at hand, so I will make as many attempts as possible to explain the concept in different ways if the student has trouble understanding it. As for my hobbies and interests, swimming is definitely on that list since I was a varsity swimmer, although I don’t swim currently. I am also involved in undergraduate research in the fields of mechanical engineering and mathematics on...

...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 I also find it valuable to relate previous knowledge to new material. But most of all, I just really enjoy the subjects I teach and love sharing them with others! Tutoring is very fulfilling for me, so I'm definitely looking...

I graduated Summa Cum Laude graduate from Park University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. I am a Writer and Editor with over fifteen years of experience. I can help my students to improve their essay writing skills, sharpen editing skills, or become better at writing in general. I can also help with Social Studies subjects across all grade levels.

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am passionate about comparative religion, Spanish and SAT prep. I am a believer in practical based application and will always bring learning back to the "Why". I believe that this not only enhances a deeper understanding of a subject but also encourages overall retention. In my spare time, I enjoy a work-life balance that includes weight-lifting, podcast binging, meditation and yoga, reading and novel writing along...

...reading/writing prep. My favorite subject to tutor is English, as this is what I'm going to school for and have the most experience with. I also love teaching English because I myself have a lot of experience learning languages (I speak Khmer, French, and Italian) and so have a unique perspective and empathy of the language learning process and the struggles and "small victories" that come with it. My tutoring style is one that is...
