I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying Mathematics. I will be tutoring math up to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB); I will also be tutoring the entirety of the ACT.

...help them. I believe it 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 those interests, connecting it to things students already enjoy and understand. Learning is so much more fun if it is relevant to things we already love. I also try to create hands-on experiences that we can hold, move, and arrange as we talk about math: we have to get up off the worksheet. Making Kool-aid is a much more understandable (and delicious) way to learn about ratios than just doing practice problems out of...

...previously struggled with is priceless. I have tutored math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school. My ultimate goal is to help students get to a point where they feel confident enough about a subject that they can answer questions without any help and feel prepared for their exams. I can't wait to...

...an freshman at Northwestern University looking to major in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from...

...context that has created the current political climate. Tutoring sessions with me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand...

...City, Kansas), a BLS (in Communication and Visual Arts from BGSU in Bowling Green, Ohio), and an MBA (emphasis in Business Administration from University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas). I have been passionate in helping students achieve a basic learning knowledge on various subject matters (but specifically in the mathematical environment) from Kindergarten age through College age for the last 34+ years. My philosophy of teaching is to listen, problem solve with real world...

...as indicated by my majors. And I have a lot of practice working with children, as demonstrated through my many years of teaching. I am genuinely interested in this position because I am confident my skills and hands-on experience match the demands for this position and believe it will help me develop necessary skills for my future in the medical field. I am looking to interact with many people and help them through difficult times...

I am a former middle-school English teacher (and former high-school French teacher). I am certified to teach English (grades 6-12), History/Government/Social Studies (grades 6-12), Psychology (grades 6-12), Health (grades PreK-12), General Music (grades PreK-12), and French (grades PreK-12). I have also taught AP French and college-level French. I have a B.A. in Modern Languages (French) and Sociology, an M.A. in Modern Languages (French/Second-Language Acquisition), and an M.A. in Teaching (Secondary).

...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 with an occasional visit to Children's Mercy Park to see KC Sporting win...

...Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. Recently, I earned my M.Ed. in Secondary Education. As a Teach for America corps member, I've taught middle school English Language Arts in Kansas City, Missouri for the past two years. Prior to this experience, I tutored college students in argumentative writing, economics/regression analysis, and even organization/study habits; tutored high school students in algebra and ACT/SAT prep; and taught guitar to elementary school students. Since high school, I have...

...it is most important to talk through issues with my students and try to ascertain how they're thinking about the problems they're trying to solve. If you're thinking about the fundamentals of a problem in the correct way, any other details will fall into place fairly easily. In addition to tutoring, I am a touring stand-up comedian. In my spare time, I enjoy competitive swimming, reading, and I also play a pretty mean MarioKart 64.

...around the student's learning style. Usually, this means introducing broad topics and where they fit in the academic map, and then narrowing in on specific ideas and working out problems. I am a strong believer in learning through pattern repetition and recognition, so I integrate sample problems for the student and myself to practice throughout the lesson to ensure the benchmarks of understanding are met. When necessary, this is adjusted for students' individual needs to...

...Missouri. I believe that students are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school. However, due to the ever increasing class sizes that some of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all...

...not only the tutor but the person being tutored. Whenever learning a difficult concept, the first thing I usually do is look it up on Google. Sometimes the answers aren't there, and sometimes they are there, but too difficult to understand. In this case, the first thing I do is send the problem to a friend and ask if they can help. Sometimes they can help, and sometimes they can't. At this point, I would...

...I am also pursuing a Global Awareness Certificate. I am an IB diploma graduate, with a 6 overall. I teach math at every level, as well as French. I also do a lot of work with elementary level students and art students. My teaching style is very gentle. I believe that students' confidence in their abilities is fundamental to long-term success. My focus for students is to understand the current material, while also giving them...

...school kids to the general public. While we enjoyed using silly skits to engage with the audience, our primary goal was always to foster enthusiasm toward science. This gave me unexpected training in how to tailor an explanation to the audience receiving the information, while also keeping their attention and helping them have fun (okay, okay... the fiery explosions might've helped a bit). During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA)...

...have learned how to solidify short-term knowledge to the long term and apply this not only to languages, but many other subjects, as well. I am a strong believer in the value and necessity of education, which is why I intend to make it my life long career. As such, I try to encourage a fun but results oriented learning environment for all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, my salt...

...the potential to learn. What makes you smart is understanding how you learn. Individuals have the civil right to learn how to read. Proficient literacy is one of the most dynamic ways to master knowledge. Readers are leaders and life long learners. I embrace all people and am willing to help people understand their academic super power. My tutoring style is patient, I try to understand what you already know, understand your goals and determine...

After having been through the stresses of applying for colleges, grad schools, and other types of programs, to give back and ensure that you have the tools and skills necessary to reach your academic goals. I have taught and tutored a variety of core subjects for many years, and am happy to share knowledge and best practices for successful preparation!
