Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...working and knowledgeable student from succeeding. I didn???t always know I wanted to be a teacher, but I have always enjoyed tutoring my friends and family when they came to me asking for help. After I graduated, I tutored a woman who was studying for the citizenship test to become a U.S. Citizen. As a native Spanish speaker, she had trouble pronouncing and understanding certain words. After two months of tutoring, she took the test...

...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. When it comes to learning, I believe in two very basic principals. First, "Perfect practice makes perfect." I use this modification on the old adage to show that when practicing anything from math to grammar, repetition of the correct kind is absolutely key. Secondly, I...

...underlying passion has not changed. I have been teaching high school math for 11 years and still love engaging with students about the subject. Throughout those 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with many types of students with many different skill levels. I've loved these experiences because it has given me the opportunity to develop a large tool box of strategies when working with students. And even though I could teach 100...

I began tutoring younger students in various subjects when I was in high school and my natural talent for explaining concepts in a variety of ways began to emerge. My patient and caring nature allows me to reach a variety of students and help them reach a new level of understanding and knowledge. I enjoy tutoring all types of students and learners in all different subject areas. As a current 4th grade teacher, I value...

I have always enjoyed helping my fellow students learn math and science. I feel like I can relate to many students because I have a variety of interests such as tennis, robotics, and reading. I try to make my sessions as fun as possible so that my students will remain interested in the subject matter for a longer period of time. I teach to the level of the student and explain using terms they will...

...me is a transfer of knowledge that the typical classroom of one teacher to twenty or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves in the future. When I can see the student understands a troubling concept so that s/he can explain it to me, it's...

...can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a new perspective and to understand (so as to enlarge) someone else's perspective. In my non-teaching time, I am interested...

...Tutoring Center for one semester and during my second semester I taught a section of College Algebra. I am able to tutor many different areas of math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Of these, my favorite is definitely Calculus, because I think that there are many people with misconceptions about the subject, and I enjoy showing people that there is nothing to afraid of, and that it can actually be fun! Outside of math,...

...so much more fun if it is relevant to things we already love. I also try to create hands-on experiences that we can hold, move, and arrange as we talk about math: we have to get up off the worksheet. Making Kool-aid is a much more understandable (and delicious) way to learn about ratios than just doing practice problems out of a book. If I am relating math to my own interests, I often turn...

Through 10 years of teaching at three different colleges, I know that great learning comes through individual advising sessions and conversations that allow students to address their concerns, develop their skills, and work on their goals.

...Branches of math that I tutored include college algebra, pre-calculus, calculus (1, 2, and 3), and linear algebra. I also tutored local middle school and high school students in pre-algebra, algebra (1 and 2), geometry, trigonometry, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and ACT/SAT Math Prep. While I was a tutor, I noticed my students' performance increase; I saw grades increase from C's and D's to A's, B's, and C's and test sub-scores increase by 2 or...

...how different people think and enjoy life. I work in cancer clinical research, growing up with a medical condition, I desire to make sure others don't have too. I tutor because I want to help others succeed in life and to let them understand that learning is profitable and doesn't just have to be school, but life experiences as well. So, there I am in a nutshell, I hope to be able to help you...

...When I teach, my passion is to relay this awareness to each student. But I discovered many students had difficulty with the math. Over the years I realized the reasons are as numerous as the number of students I taught. Tutoring, one on one, provides me the opportunity to discover the exact difficulty and lift him or her over it. I enjoy woodworking. I am thrilled when creating beautiful or functional items from a pile...

I've been teaching high school mathematics for 26 years and I still love it. I always said if I stopped liking my students, I'd find a different profession. I'm still teaching... I enjoy working with students one-on-one and look forward to begin tutoring with Varsity Tutors. ... Everyone can learn. Practice makes perfect, so you want to be sure you're practicing correctly!... I would let the student tell me what they felt his or her needs were. I can re-teach, review or simply help with homework. After working some problems together, I would be able to adjust the session to one where the student can maximize their learning during our time together.

My name is Sandra Lugo, I worked at the university for 26 years where for my first 18 years I taught Calculus I and II, along with Static, Dynamic and Materials for Construction. I think my experience and my passion for teaching are my best introduction.

...in computational fluid dynamics. I love to tutor! There is nothing more exciting than seeing students tackle and conquer challenges they have faced in school. My goal as a tutor is to make sure the student is comfortable with the material and hopefully I can spread the passion for learning that I have! I have tutored at K-State for dynamics, fluid mechanics and calculus III. My background has allowed me to become an expert in...

...I have tutored students from elementary school through college calculus. I love tutoring Math and Science as well as several other subjects, and I have traveled and taught all over the world, including South Korea, Portugal, Belgium and Spain. Last year my husband and I moved back to Overland Park, and currently, I teach teachers about Math and Science. I speak English and Spanish, and some French and Portuguese. I would love to have the...

...confident in tutoring for math subjects as I have tutored many students successfully in Geometry and Algebra. I will be attending the University of Kansas Medical School in the Fall of 2020. I know the stress of studying and I've learned several study tricks that have helped me along the way. I am excited to give back what I know to my students. I have previous experience as a TA and private tutor for Organic...

I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in philosophy. I look forward to tutoring as an opportunity to help students discover their strengths in subjects they find difficult or unnecessarily complicated. I believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as they are taught well. Given my background in philosophy, I am familiar with transforming the unbearably boring into the deeply fascinating. I hope to help students learn that...

...in learning that accompany age, there is one thing that is the same across all ages: each student has their own individual learning style. Therefore, my primary goal is to not only make the topics fun to engage the student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related...
