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.

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 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.
Megan
Calculus Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations. Hobbies: art, books, reading, music, writing, singing
Emma
Calculus Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am currently in my second year at the University of Kansas. I am majoring in secondary history and government education and minoring in art history. Most of my tutoring experience comes from high school, where I peer tutored a student in her world history class. As an upperclassman, I also gained a lot of mentoring experience on my school's debate team as I helped new debaters learn the ropes of the activity. As my intended college degree reflects, I am most excited about teaching history, government, and art history classes, but I have a strong background in English as well. As a former AP and honors high school student, I would love to share the strategies that I found to be the most successful. I believe education not only improves society, but can help shape students to their fullest potential. I would love to be someone who facilitates that development. Outside of academics, I am a total bookworm, my favorite TV show is The Good Place, and I try to spend as much time outside as I can without getting a sunburn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Shawnee's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Shawnee Mission School District or elsewhere in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subjects.
While Shawnee's average class size is reasonable, individual students still benefit greatly from personalized 1-on-1 instruction that addresses their unique learning pace and gaps. A tutor can focus entirely on your student's specific challenges—whether that's mastering a difficult concept in algebra or preparing for AP exams—in a way that's difficult in a classroom setting, even with good ratios.
Tutors working with Shawnee students are familiar with Kansas's academic standards and can align their instruction to help students master grade-level expectations. Whether your student needs support with Kansas state assessments, standardized testing, or core subjects like math and reading, tutors tailor their approach to ensure students are meeting the benchmarks expected in Kansas schools.
Shawnee students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math (algebra, geometry, precalculus), science (biology, chemistry, physics), test prep (ACT, SAT, AP exams), and English/writing support. We also connect students with tutors for Spanish, history, and other subjects based on individual needs and school curriculum.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific areas where the student needs support. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for an upcoming test, or building confidence in a challenging subject. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for ongoing sessions.
Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options to fit different family budgets and tutoring needs. Costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend contacting us to discuss your student's specific needs—we can provide transparent pricing and help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Tutors are vetted for their expertise and ability to work effectively with students, and many have backgrounds in education, subject-matter specialization, or professional experience in their fields. You can discuss a tutor's specific qualifications and experience with your student's needs before getting started.
Many students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on factors like the student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows significant benefits when students engage regularly with a tutor who tailors lessons to their needs. We encourage setting clear goals with your tutor so you can track progress together.
