Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Olathe, KS

Make every effort to make yourself improved, a student need not be ashamed!... Keep it simple student!... I will do an interview.

If you can eat, drink, and breath daily, then why can't you study daily. Apply yourself.... Take a break from studying. Sunday through Thursday study, and Friday and...

Hello! I started my career as a zookeeper and followed my calling to education. I have been teaching secondary science for the last 10 years and have loved every minute. My goal for every tutoring session is to navigate through a challenging topic so the learner leaves with more confidence in his or her ability/knowledge and a better understanding of the content.

...helping students understand how to ask questions and develop procedures to answer those questions. When working with students one on one I make sure to evaluate their current knowledge and make sure there's a strong foundation on which we can build. I especially enjoy using visual and hands-on tools to help make abstract principles more concrete. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, crocheting, sewing, cooking and learning new things....

...because there is nothing more satisfying than watching a student finally understanding a difficult concept. My love for teaching and mentoring comes from seeing how ineffective teachers can make students not want to be engaged. Once I entered college, I began to see how effective teachers could make the difference for the students. This example made me want to teach later in life. I have experience working with children and teens from my previous job....

...senior year of high school, I volunteered at a local elementary school, providing classroom assistance to teachers of Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. I worked with kids of widely-spanning ages on skills from alphabet citation to the formation of complex sentences, pattern recognition to long division. For me, as important as helping those students was establishing friendships with them. I went back to visit the kids over Christmas Break and was astounded at how many of...

...of audiences, from elementary 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...

...really consider it to be one of my hobbies, as I have gained so much from the education I was fortunate enough to have received and believe that I have gained the technical competencies and communication skills that allow me to help students by removing obstacles in their course of learning. I have a strong background in Math and Science and involvement in many campus and community organizations that honed my interpersonal skills. I studied...

...science, life science, earth science, physical science, environmental science, and ecology. I also love reading and writing. I am an avid reader and love expanding my personal library. While an undergrad, I worked in the Writing Center helping students write and edit their college papers. Outside of school/work, I am an adventurer. I love exploring new places (urban or wild). While in California, I got hooked on snorkeling and spearfishing. In Missouri, I focus my...

...father of 4 and Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Milwaukee School of Engineering. I started tutoring math in high school, and continued through college. I have always enjoyed helping others to understand, and I find great satisfaction and joy in serving others in this area of their education. When I am not at work as an estimator for the energy industry, I enjoy reading and outdoor activities with my wife and kids.

...motto is "Teach the World", my corner of the world anyway. If a student is willing to put in the work necessary to learn a topic they are struggling with, I will never give up on them. I love to lead a student to what I refer to as 'The Archimedes Eureka Moment'. That moment when a student truly understands a topic they have fought and worked so hard to understand. The look of pride...

...helping students understand the fundamental skills required for their course, so that they have the tools to effectively solve problems. The most important aspect of many of these courses is to teach the student how to recognize what is being asked of them, and then working on developing the methods for reaching answers with ease. I am very effective at breaking down problems for the student so that they can develop the skills to work...

...applied mathematics and statistics. In addition, I achieved my Ph.D. in mathematics education from New York University. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring a wide variety of mathematical subjects across all age groups from middle school to graduate level level courses. As a former college teacher and administrator, I have first-hand knowledge of how and why students struggle with the quantitative subject areas. This experience has served me well in finding ways to...

...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 wait just wait to go to class and hope that the...

...because these subjects present so many opportunities for problem solving and students to obtain that "aha" moment. That said, I am qualified and willing to help you reach success in all the subjects in which I am approved to tutor. I started tutoring classmates informally while in college and accepted several teaching assistant positions that enabled me to clearly explain course concepts to students with various backgrounds. Instead of lecturing students, I subscribe to a...

...Club in my school. In high school I tutored many students in subjects such as AP Government and AP English Language and Composition. Furthermore in College I tutored students in Chemistry 1 and 2. Although these are higher level subjects, I work very well with children and have tutored some of my friend's younger siblings in areas like algebra and science. I am very excited for the opportunity to help scholars excel in their school...

...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.

...blossomed during my undergraduate years. Throughout my college experience, I found fulfillment in assisting fellow students in various capacities, particularly during the rigorous process of applying to medical school. Whether it was providing guidance on interview preparation, reviewing personal statements, or offering support in challenging subjects like Biology and Chemistry areas of study that I am passionate about. I discovered the profound impact mentorship can have on one's educational journey. My strengths lie not only...
