Dental school demands a particular kind of reading — parsing case studies, research articles, and clinical guidelines where misreading one detail can change a diagnosis entirely. Nik brings that same precision to reading sessions, teaching students how to slow down, track what a passage is actually saying, and pull meaning from context clues instead of guessing. Rated 4.9 by students.

Strong readers don't just decode words; they actively predict, question, and synthesize as they move through a text. Victoria teaches those metacognitive habits explicitly, whether a student is tackling dense nonfiction or building fluency with longer chapter books. Her ESL teaching experience also means she's skilled at adapting strategies for readers whose first language isn't English.

A background in both French and English literature means Ann reads constantly and across genres, which she channels into teaching active reading strategies like annotation, identifying author's purpose, and tracking argument structure. She's especially effective at showing students how to pull meaning from complex or unfamiliar texts by breaking passages into manageable pieces.

Struggling readers often skip the strategies that make comprehension click: predicting before reading, annotating key details, and summarizing after each section. Anthony, a certified teacher with a master's in educational administration, identifies exactly where a student's reading process breaks down — whether it's vocabulary gaps, inference skills, or simply losing focus in longer passages — and introduces targeted techniques to close that gap.

Kristen's approach to reading instruction centers on active comprehension strategies — annotation, questioning the text, and making inferences from context clues — rather than passive re-reading. As a certified ELA teacher who devours about fifty books a year herself, she knows how to match students with texts at the right challenge level and build the analytical habits that transfer across every subject.

An English degree built on years of reading novels, essays, and literary criticism gave Bri a habit she now passes along — the instinct to ask what a writer means, not just what they said. She teaches students to pick up on structure and tone so they can follow an argument or narrative thread without losing the plot halfway through a paragraph. Her background in phonics and grammar means she can also drop down to the mechanics level when a student's comprehension gaps start at the word or sentence level.

Strong readers don't just decode words — they actively predict, question, and summarize as they move through a text. Jessica teaches these comprehension strategies explicitly, whether a student is tackling a dense nonfiction article or a challenging novel. Her communication-heavy career sharpened her own reading habits, and she's direct about sharing the specific techniques that make difficult material manageable.

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 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'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 a passionate academic tutor and content area expert. My objective is to provide students with conceptual knowledge and understanding of the topics, which will allow them to become independent, life-long learners. No matter your current skill level, I can meet you where you are and help you cross your academic finish line!

I am in school at Grand Canyon University and am working on obtaining a degree in Elementary Education. I currently work full-time as a literacy interventionist in a local elementary school. I'm very good at staying organized and enjoy most school subjects.

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 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 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 recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am a Colorado native who enjoys rock climbing and nature. I work currently for a large international engineering consulting company and specialize in water engineering.

I am not present. While I will provide help along the way, guiding a student to build up his/her own skills to be able to understand these questions on his/her own and feel confident while taking tests is my ultimate goal.
