...was fortunate enough to teach a pharmacology class to 15 Kansas University students. Yet, I am comfortable not only with college students, but with high school, middle school and even elementary school students. I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any math and science academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload in college has made me confident of my mastery and ability to tutor these subjects. Outside of academics,...

I am a pre-med student at the University of Kansas. I am studying molecular, cellular and developmental biology. ... Practice, practice, and practice some more!... Find out their strengths and weaknesses within the subject and with their overall study methods.... Talk through the steps of solving an unknown problem, including where to look for the answer, so they can begin to learn how to do it on their own.... Remind them why we are studying and...

...examples. I break problems down into carefully thought-out steps. Because I studied physics and math myself, I can anticipate certain roadblocks a student may encounter and will be able to steer a student in the right direction should he or she initially misinterpret a certain principle. Having tutored high school students in math and science for a number of years, I know how to help students get past what can initially appear to be daunting...

...in part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach 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...

...them reach their maximum potential. As a current college student, I have tutored students in elementary school all the way up through the age of my current peers. In preparation for college, I took the ACT multiple times and in the process learned a great deal of tips and strategies that are useful for raising scores. I believe in helping students truly understand the material, not just memorize it. I look forward to working with...

...in love with the language and all the different cultures it is a part of. I am very passionate about the importance of Spanish in America today, as well as helping Hispanic families learn English, while not forsaking their native language. While learning Spanish over the years, I also fell in love with many other topics including Biology, Anatomy, and Math. I simply enjoy learning, and that is why I am interested in so many...

...closely with many students of all ages, and I find that, no matter how old, every person has areas they can improve in. It is important to me to know what each of my students wants to accomplish in their time with me, and how they think that can best be achieved. I have attended Washburn University in Topeka Kansas, The University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, and Johnson County Community College in Olathe, Kansas....

...the feeling I get when a student understands a concept they 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...

As a tutor, I would like to foster not only mastery of individual subjects, but a strengthened approach to academia in general. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing and writing music on the guitar, watching movies, playing basketball with my friends, and hanging out with my animals.

...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 as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored...

...level, tutored privately in numerous settings, and have an advanced degree in a critical thinking field. I love teaching and building relationships with my students. I try to make my students feel comfortable around me and learn their study habits in order for me to tailor my lessons to help them learn in the most effective manner. I love to run, bike, ride horses, and mostly do things outdoors with my husband and little one.

...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.

...College in Fulton, Missouri, with a major in Special Education. I hold a Missouri teaching certificate in the areas of Learning Disabled, Educable Mentally Retarded and Art K-9. After 32 years of teaching I have recently retired. While I have experience teaching all grade levels, I especially enjoy upper elementary, middle and high school ages. During my years teaching, I taught all academic subjects as well as life skills. Teaching reading, science and math are...

I am interested in tutoring with Varsity Tutors because I value education, and enjoy helping other students learn. I specialize in anthropology, both biological and cultural, as well as human anatomy and French.

...past four years and it could not have been more rewarding. I have always enjoyed being able to share interesting things with people they never knew and do so in a variety of unique ways so they could understand it. I personally believe that to help remember and understand something, it needs to be tied to something that was memorable. This is why meaningful relationships with teachers and the moments that you shared with them...

...their life, school, or world pressure they're under is going to be in their daily lives, their tutoring sessions with me can be a time for fun and learning. There is no need for this to be something they dread, but instead, something they look forward to. My spaces are relaxed, safe, and still offering the most amount of learning I can give the students. I don't want any student in the group to feel...

...grades 7-8. As an avid reader and writer, I am most passionate about tutoring reading and writing. I love watching students grow as readers building a lifelong passion for reading, and the natural progression in their writing. I also enjoy teaching math and helping students build number sense and confidence in their mathematical abilities. As a passionate educator, I strive to share that passion for learning with students and fellow adult learners. Helping students understand...

...tutored math for about 30 years. I feel for all those who have such a hard time in math. Hopefully by working together we can make that hard time a little easier. I have a good reputation for being able to meet those folks who have such a hard time on their level. And pretty soon there is the aha moment and they say: I've got it. I am looking forward to working with you.
