I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.

Arianna
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am a third-year medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. I graduated from the University of Kansas in three years with a Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and minors in psychology and Spanish. Before starting medical school, I worked as a medical assistant and a tutor for the KU Athletic Department. Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked with students extensively as a peer tutor, undergraduate teaching assistant, and seminar assistant. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine as I love to help others by way of education. I work hard with students to establish a friendship that allows for a comfortable dynamic conducive to learning and asking questions. I also utilize a variety of resources in order to keep students engaged and frequently ask questions to assess their learning level. I recognize the importance of working with students to better understand their learning styles and studying methods in order to create individualized tutoring plans that maximize growth in the classroom as well as outside of the classroom. I aim to help students develop valuable habits and skills that will bring success that lasts beyond our tutoring sessions. I feel comfortable modifying my approach when working with different ages, although I have found that many aspects of my teaching strategy remain constant among all my students. I tutor many classes ranging from algebra to statistics, but my favorite courses to teach are related to psychology!

I have also taught AP French and college-level French.
Kellor
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am entirely committed to ensuring every one of my students break through the barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential. My process involves an individual, connected explanation of the content, discussing problem-solving strategies to make testing much easier than it seems, encouraging practice and the growth of individual learning, and making sure my style of teaching is right for my student's style of learning. Most importantly, I seek to make my students love learning as much as I do.

I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my time at Kansas State, I worked as a student tutor on subjects ranging from geology to French, and while pursuing my Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.

I will graduate in the Spring of 2016 with my B.S. in Middle School Education: Math and Business Education. I am able to tutor students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, or Trigonometry. I am a highly motivated individual committed to giving my all each and every day. I love working with kids. I am enthusiastic about education and learning. I love to empower others and help them to reach their greatest potential. I am patient and driven, and I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning. I value personal interaction and relationships. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing outside, watching movies, playing card games and board games, and spending time with family and friends.

Eamon
Calculus Tutor • +26 Subjects
I'm an oldest child, which means growing up, I was the first kid to run into most challenges, and the best equipped one to teach my five younger siblings how to navigate them. Working with them and mentoring them was probably my first experience with "tutoring", and it left strong impressions on me. To help someone is to treat them like your family.

I am a graduate of The University of Tulsa, where I received BA degrees in Anthropology and Sociology. While studying at Tulsa, I tutored students in several subjects including, Sociology, Anthropology, and Statistics, among others. In addition, I occasionally served as a guest lecturer at the University's introductory-level Sociology courses. I offer tutoring in SAT/ACT test prep, English, Anthropology, Sociology, and Social Studies. I enjoy most working with students on writing and revising essays in any subject. When I'm tutoring, I think 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.

Kansas City students frequently seek help with math, English language arts, and standardized test preparation—subjects that form the foundation for success across all grade levels. We also work with many students preparing for AP exams, ACT prep, and subject-specific challenges that emerge in middle and high school. Tutors can address gaps in any subject while keeping Kansas state standards in mind.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands, identify any knowledge gaps, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs and your family's timeline. This foundation helps ensure every session that follows is focused and productive.
Kansas City's average student-teacher ratio is about 13.8:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs simultaneously. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student—adapting pace, teaching methods, and content to match exactly how they learn best. This individualized attention helps close gaps faster and builds confidence in ways large classroom settings can't.
