Award-Winning Science Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...communicate with others without the need for a translator or dictionary. However, I'd say test prep is my favorite subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into 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...

...at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Neuroscience. My experiences in tutoring have come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center. I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job is seeing...

...a tutor, I ask questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their 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...

...learn math and science. I feel like I can relate to many students because I have a variety of interests such as tennis, robotics, and reading. I try to make my sessions as fun as possible so that my students will remain interested in the subject matter for a longer period of time. I teach to the level of the student and explain using terms they will understand. Teaching others can sometimes seem difficult, but...

...always enjoyed teaching. During college, I would tutor my friends in Calculus and Organic Chemistry, both to help them prepare for exams and to master the material myself. Last summer, I 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...

...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 help...

I am currently a Neurology Resident at 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...

...Kansas, The University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, and Johnson County Community College in Olathe, Kansas. I am currently working on a Biotechnology degree after changing from an Aerospace Engineering degree after getting married. I have extensive experience in Mathematics and Science, and I am a very capable writer as well. I can tutor nearly any S.T.E.M course up through highschool (and some college), along with English and grammar - more specifically paper writing -...

...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 a new perspective and...

...deeper than a surface level or just the memorization of facts, which I believe is what learning actually is. Math is also one of my favorite classes to tutor because I have a very solid understanding of it. Similar to Anatomy and Physiology, math uses a lot of logic, which allows you to understand and learn concepts that will stick with you rather than learning them for a test and then discarding this information. I...

...ecosystem-level processes. Through my experiences in Biology and Environmental Science, however, I have learned to appreciate and thoroughly enjoy math as well. The majority of my tutoring experience has been in Math, particularly Algebra 1; however, my favorite subjects are Biology and Environmental Science! Because of my love for nature and the out of doors, I like to incorporate real world, hands on examples when teaching. When I take a break from learning, I love...

Future academic that is passionate about tutoring to increase students' understanding of and comfortability with course concepts. Practiced in detecting gaps in student understanding and reducing complex subjects to simpler ideas for students. I specialize in tutoring Math and Physics from middle school to graduate level, and love helping with ACT/SAT prep as well as introductory chemistry.

Studying Business Communication and Arabic at the University of Kansas. I love to tutor in History, English and geography. Enjoy running, hiking and swimming!... I always try to relate the certain subject or lesson to something in the outside world that the student knows. This helps them understand and relate to the question/lesson.... Get to know them as a person and academically, and see what level the student is at and what level they need to...

...to San Francisco to pursue a MA in Museum Studies. I gained more experience and education living out on the west coast but wanted to move back to the Midwest after graduating. I came to Kansas City after getting a job as a preschool teacher and was looking to get my teaching certificate when I discovered a new program in Kansas City called the Kansas City Teacher Residency. Through this program, I was placed under...

...Kansas majoring in chemical engineering and minoring in math. I am a very big fan of chemistry and calculus, namely because of the relevant connections that can be made between these subjects and our everyday life. During the week, you can find me doing research in the lab, talking to students about getting involved in research labs as an undergraduate in my position as a Research Ambassador, or volunteering at KUs Sexual Assault Prevention and...

...learn. A student has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that. Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly. After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and to experience teaching in...

...emphasis in philosophy. My bachelor's is in philosophy and theology. I am also a certified high school teacher in AP Physics. I am working toward finishing my degree in physics from my college days and toward becoming fluent in Spanish. I tutor AP Physics 1, Algebra, Algebra 2, Calculus, College Physics, Engineering, High School Physics, IB Physics, Math, Philosophical Ethics, Philosophy, Physics, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Science, Social Sciences, Statics and Dynamics, and Trigonometry. My favorite subjects...

...favorite subjects to teach are Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology. I love talking about the amazing human body machine! Though not a chemist, I also enjoy teaching Chemistry. Over the course of many years I have learned that it is usually the math within chemistry that bogs students down. I have developed a sure fire way of breaking through that barrier in the classroom and would love to share that in private tutoring sessions! I also...

...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.

Biology, chemistry, and related electives are tough courses that demand rigorous study. As a tutor and soon to be medical student, I am passionate about helping students master these subjects. I know firsthand how difficult these classes can be and how important success is for acceptance into a professional school. My goal is to facilitate your learning in the most effective way possible by empowering you to be successful.... First, I like to find out what...
