I am an adventurer at heart and I love the process of discovery. My philosophy about tutoring is that we do not need students who just learn but rather students who are inspired to learn. Only after they have been inspired will they be motivated to do well and even take their learning and create something new with it. Having earned a Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering and Management with a concentration in Engineering Leadership, I am very passionate about math and the way it descri...More

I am now finishing my PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology. I have completed several research projects, published research, and co-written chapters in books. Clinically, I have taught parents in several behavior strategies to help decrease their child's problem behaviors and increase acquisition of skills. I have worked with children as young as one and adults as spritely as 65. I am happy to tutor a variety of subjects (e.g., math, English, and general study/organization skills). I am determin...More

I'm a firm believer in self-confidence, and seek to bring that out in my students by helping them fulfill their academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy doing yoga, painting, playing soccer, and searching for the perfect cupcake.

I am most interested in language and its logic. I have a long background in the arts and literature. I completed a BFA in Painting at the University of Iowa, a JD at the University of Tulsa and an MA in Classics at the University of Kansas. After law school, I practiced law in New York City for ten years before deciding to go back to school for Classics. I am currently developing a publication on the relative clause in Ancient Greek and I hope to begin a PhD program in the fall. I completed my M...More

I'm an energetic and experienced ESL teacher with an extensive background in teaching middle and high school, as well as college. I love helping people reach their goals - that's why I became a teacher! I believe in a wholistic approach, where we work on communicating and listening in tandem. All our lessons will be fun and tailored to what you need.

I am certified to teach French K-12 in the state of Missouri (and have the qualifications for Kansas). I enjoyed teaching at both the middle school and the high school level as part of my tr...More

I am a sixteen year veteran of post secondary education. My 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 als...More

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 ...More

I am nearing my Senior year as an English Major at Columbia College. For years now I have been passionate about all things Englishputting words down effectively (and beautifully) on paper, reading classic (and sometimes not-so-classic) literature, and mastering the nuts and bolts of the language. My goal as a tutor is (obviously) to help you understand and master these subjects adequately enough to pass your test or class, but also, I hope to inspire in each student an appreciation for this amaz...More

I'm tutoring to ask clarifying questions . I really enjoy taking seemingly difficult topics and explaining them in a logical fashion while emphasizing the basics every step of the way. I find that students' frustration with a concept generally stems from uncertainty regarding how to organize many intersecting ideas. Nothing makes me more proud then watching a student master a formerly daunting topic.
