As a full-time literacy interventionist at an elementary school, Brianna sees firsthand what skills students need shored up before and during middle school — from organizing multi-paragraph essays to tackling pre-algebra concepts like integer operations and ratios. Her education training at Grand Canyon University keeps her current on strategies that bridge the gap between elementary foundations and middle school expectations. Rated 5.0 by students.

Chemical engineering at the university level means Austin spent years solving problems that blend math, science, and technical writing into a single assignment — which is essentially what middle school starts asking kids to do for the first time, just at a different scale. He covers math through pre-algebra, science, writing, and grammar, and his engineering training gives him a habit of breaking messy, multi-step problems into a clear sequence that a sixth or seventh grader can actually follow without getting overwhelmed.
I am a dental student at University of Missouri-Kansas City and I will graduate with a DDS in 2025. I have benefitted immensely from study groups, peer workshops, and online resources during my time in undergrad, so I know how much a little extra work can help in the long run. I am excited to work with you to make your English, reading, writing, biology, or psychology goals a reality! When I'm not doing school stuff, I love to read, hang out with my foster cats, and spend time outside.
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 a high school graduate from The Pembroke Hill School in Kansas City, Missouri and currently studying at Washington University in St. Louis in the class of 2024. Through my high school's Spanish program, I tutored students just two years below my level of Spanish. And through our debate program, for my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I mentored students new to the activity. I have always seen helping other students as an opportunity of growth, not only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels of math, chemistry, and Spanish. As for standardized tests, I am most oriented towards the ACT. My favorite subject to learn and tutor is Math because it allows the student an opportunity to understand a concept much deeper than the surface. And that is my focus for when I learn a concept or teach a concept: understanding not only the what but the how and why as well.
I am a High School Science Teacher for the Smithville School District. I have experience teaching AP Chemistry, Honors and General Chemistry, and Honors and General Biology, Forensic Science, Biomedical Science, and Anatomy & Physiology.
I am originally from the suburbs of St. Louis, MO, and I attended Rockhurst University for my undergraduate degree. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in French & Education with a minor in English Literature. I am also currently working towards a Master of Arts in French at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. 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 training. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored both writing and French. I am now substitute teaching at a French immersion school in the area, and I had fun teaching grades 2nd and 5th there over the summer. I am available to tutor English grammar, literature, writing, math up to Algebra 1, all levels of French, and test prep (including ACT). As someone with an appreciation for languages, I especially like tutoring English and French. Since I am a certified teacher, I am prepared to present information in a variety of ways to help my students with understanding. Additionally, I like to help my students take responsibility for their own learning during our sessions. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my roommates and our animals, watching shows and movies, going to sporting events, and taking advantage of the nice weather outdoors.
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 - up to an early college level.
I am a graduate of Rockhurst University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in English Literature. Upon graduating, I became certified to teach both elementary education (grades 1-6) and English Language Arts (grades 5-9) in the state of Missouri. I have spent the past two years teaching seventh grade reading and writing, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only do I love helping my students understand new concepts in my subject areas, but I also really enjoy sharing literature, both classics and new fiction, with them in hopes it will foster a love of reading. I believe in the power of literature to spark critical thinking and help students make meaningful connections to their lives and the lives of others. It may come as no surprise that one of my chief hobbies is reading; I try to read fifty new novels every year, many of which I can then recommend to my students! I tutor a broad range of subjects, most notably English, Literature, and ACT/SAT Test Preparations, but regardless of what I am tutoring, my teaching philosophy and style stems from building relationships with my students. While I have a great innate desire to help the next generation learn and succeed, I realize that the first step to doing so is getting to know my students and their individual needs. Only then can I create truly meaningful, relevant, and applicable lessons and tutoring sessions that will help them learn and grow. My passion is to help students realize their potential as life-long learners and help them succeed as they navigate their educational paths.
I'm hoping to use this summer to help someone else get ahead academically. I've tutored college-level biology courses at Mizzou, but am comfortable with a variety of science courses at any level.
I am a current undergraduate student at Iowa State University working to obtain my Bachelor's of Science degree. As a lover of learning, I fully believe that every student should be able to feel comfortable in their schooling and take pride in their academic achievements. That is why I am dedicated to helping students gain a better comprehension of certain subjects and foster effective studying skills. I tutor for the ACT exam as well as middle school math and science, biology and algebra.
I am from Chicago, IL. I am currently a second-year medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. One of my passions includes teaching students. I have 5+ years of tutoring experience. During my tutoring sessions, I utilize critical thinking skills, enthusiasm, and vigor in helping the students complete assignments. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling, cooking, dancing, and playing volleyball. If you need help with any of your classes, please do not hesitate to set up a session with me!
I'm able to tutor the subjects that I do because they're things I enjoy not just in an academic conext, but also on my own spare time, so I'm always reading about that stuff anyway. My dedication is to always be there exactly when and how I'm needed for my students.
I'm not in school you can probably find me in front of the box score of a basketball or football game trying to make two completely different worlds make sense together.
I am finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education at the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance. I love teaching all ages, but will most likely be teaching middle school or high school choir. I am a certified K-12 substitute teacher, and upon completing my student teaching in 2017, will be a licensed K-12 educator in both MO and KS. I am here to help, please feel free to contact me!
I am a medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I love to work with students to help them reach their fullest potential.
I am a freelance writer and entrepreneur with over five years of professional sales experience. I have made a living with my communication skills and I want to help struggling English students develop theirs. My goal is to help my students raise their grades/test scores and let them grow into the wordsmiths they were meant to be!
I am currently an undergraduate at Northwest Missouri State University. I am a mathematics major with computer science and economics minors. My two passions in life are God and mathematics. My goal is to help other students see the wonders and beauty that math can bring to everyday life. I have worked with several students in this area before, both as a paid tutor and as an unpaid fellow classmate. I approach tutoring as an opportunity for the student to come to the answer on their own with minimal guidance from me. My job is to simply watch the student work and if needed, lead them to the right answer. Ultimately, my goal is to help them see the bigger picture. I want every student to not only see the "how" of mathematics but the "why", as well. Outside of school and math, I love to be outside, spending time with my family, and listening to music. I am a huge movie buff, as well. Above all, I love to learn new things and share my knowledge with other people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Middle school is a critical transition year where students juggle increased homework, multiple teachers, and growing academic expectations. Many students struggle with organization, time management, and adapting to a faster-paced curriculum. Personalized tutoring helps students develop these skills while mastering core content in math, language arts, science, and social studies—setting a strong foundation for high school success.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Missouri's learning standards and the specific curriculum used across Kansas City's 24 school districts. Tutors work with your student's current coursework, textbooks, and teacher expectations to reinforce what's being taught in class while filling knowledge gaps. This targeted approach ensures tutoring directly supports classroom success.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and academic goals. The tutor will assess current skill levels and discuss what you'd like to improve, whether that's grades in a specific subject, homework completion, test preparation, or confidence. From there, they'll create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all core middle school subjects—math (pre-algebra, algebra, geometry), language arts, science, social studies, and test prep for standardized assessments. We also offer support in foreign languages, writing skills, and study strategies. You can focus on one subject or get matched with multiple tutors to address different areas.
Not at all. Personalized tutoring benefits students at every level—whether they need to catch up, maintain strong grades, or accelerate into advanced coursework. Many middle school students use tutoring to build confidence, develop better study habits, or explore subjects they're passionate about. A tutor can challenge advanced learners while providing extra support to those who need it.
While homework help focuses on completing assignments, tutoring builds deeper understanding and skills. A tutor works with your student to identify why a concept is confusing, teaches the underlying principles, and helps them develop problem-solving strategies they can apply independently. This approach reduces frustration, improves grades, and builds the confidence students need to tackle new material on their own.
The right frequency depends on your student's needs and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions to stay on track, while others do well with twice-weekly sessions during busy periods or test prep. Many families start with one session per week and adjust based on progress and feedback. Your tutor can recommend a schedule that fits your student's learning pace and your family's schedule.
Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors based on your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific goals. You can discuss your student's needs with our team, and we'll connect you with qualified tutors who have experience working with middle school students in Kansas City. Most families find the right fit quickly and see improvement within the first few weeks.
