Hi, I'm Leah! I am a teacher with five years of teaching experience in the lower elementary grades. I am passionate about teaching students and helping them to meet their learning goals. My favorite area to teach is phonics, because I think it is the most important part of reading and can help a young student in so many academic areas.

Hello! Every student has a gift. It is up to me to use that gift to bring light to a subject students might be struggling with. I am confident that my four years of classroom teaching experience will translate well into being the quality tutor that you need. I excel at using a student's strengths to work on their weaknesses. I will not simply reiterate the content louder and slower in an effort to reach a student. Instead, I will use my experience to analyze the style of learning that fits with the student and tailor the lesson accordingly. I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!

I reclaim the ability of teaching as the dimension of power to cultivate the lives of adult minds, prospective students,and executive professionals. Education as a purpose and a passion has become second nature to me as I have thegreatest opportunity to empower those around me, showing where education can conclude. Being able to serveothers while still advancing my education is one of the best ways to use student minds to help the placement of newdimensions of educational platforms. Utilizing the capability of technology as a basic reference, I have been able toembrace all aspects of education by a preference rather than a negative choice. This has given me the optimisticability to become empowered with education and technology. Implementing these materials into the society ofprofessional learners gives each student the ability to see change within their professional and educational life.Using my ability as a person of color and as a facilitator for education and navigator, it is my intention to enhancethe learning spectrum as a transformative experience in the professional and the educational world. Ideally, when astudent transforms into further education, they are taking on the responsibility of seeking out knowledge. Personally,the student wants to feel changed by the professor's assistance and the course materials. I bring the benefits of beingan accomplished diverse professional in the business and academic fields towards the higher education profession. Ibelieve that based on my management, experience, publications, and graduate credit hours, I could be qualified forthis position in higher education.

From a young age, I've been driven by a deep passion for helping others unlock their potential. This desire led me to tutoring, where I've found immense satisfaction in witnessing students grasp complex concepts and gain confidence in their abilities. My experience working with students spans several years and various settings, including one-on-one tutoring, group workshops, and classroom assistance. In these roles, I've honed my ability to adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of each learner, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and taking risks. I am working toward a degree in exercise science.

I am passionate about educating students about science and applying real world phenomenon to my lessons. I have taught as a tutor during the summer with high school students for science enrichment. I have also taught science to elementary and middle school students. I love teaching students using hands on experiments and class demos. I try to keep the content engaging and as entertaining as possible. I went to the University of Saint Mary where I received a bachelors degree in biology. I also have a Masters in Secondary Education from Pittsburg State University.I can tutor all levels of elementary and middle school science. I can also tutor biology to high school students, which is my favorite subject. I enjoy teaching biology because it is truly the study of life in many different aspects from the cell to ecosystems. My teaching philosophy for science is to always try your best and that is all I can ask for. Education is the key to success. From a working family I grew up valuing education as a way out of poverty.Outside of the classroom I am interested in achieving a higher biology degree. I also work at Science City in Kansas city which brings science phenomena alive. I am also obsessed with animals. I have three pets at home and hope to continue to add more to my family. I have a bunny, snake and dog.
