Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Kansas City, MO

...I aspire to motivate students to learn and do their best! I am a post-baccalaureate student with a B.S. in Chemistry. I have taken Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology at the university level and have effectively tutored many students in these subjects to help them reach their academic goals. My approach to tutoring is by helping students understand the fundamental skills required for their course, so that they have the tools to effectively solve problems....

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.

...Kansas State University for my undergraduate degree and to University of Central Missouri for my graduate degree in Teaching, Curriculum and Instruction. I have tutored at Metropolitan Community College, and also taught some math classes. Right now I am tutoring Middle School, 9th and 10th grade, and hope to soon add Pre-Calculus and Algebra II to my repertoire. I am a visual learner, but am also both brained: technical and creative. I play disc golf,...

...me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and...

...greatly enjoy teaching all levels of Mathematics and Computer Science but I especially like working with students on fundamental knowledge. There is something truly wonderful about seeing something "click" for a student. My teaching philosophy is simple: Nobody is simply "bad at math!" Most people have convinced themselves of this, but it simply not true. They simply haven't found someone with the patience and background to guide them to a solid understanding. One of the...

...of University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) where I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 2013. I worked for Procter and Gamble for about five years as a process engineer and project manager. Recently, I obtained my teaching certification which qualifies me to teach math at both the middle and high school levels. I have a strong passion for both math and science, particularly algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, general chemistry and organic chemistry.

...one. I joined the Air Force at 17 years old and completed a Physics major from the United States Air Force Academy. I was excited to serve my country and am very thankful I got that opportunity. What I learned most from it though was that it was not my passion and I separated from the Air Force to set out to find it. Teaching math and physics excites me and motivates me. My goal...

...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.

...phenomena. However, I changed my major to Mathematics. I wanted to have a more diverse degree for career opportunities. I will say that I would love to go back and take some weather forecasting classes just for the fun of it. I work full time in the fund accounting business in downtown Kansas City. I love my job! I want to broaden my career into helping those who struggle with math. I believe that with...

...I studied to help me better understand the material, and I believe I can incorporate this ability into teaching student various ways of learning a difficult topic. I have also gotten the opportunity to teach medical student as an Anatomy tutor which has given me experience in handling a large volume of information and condensing it into smaller bits. In my years at Westmont College, I have been able to teach and tutor as a...

There no better way to learn than with someone who genuinely cares about your success. I believe that everyone can learn anything, it just takes the time and the right kind of methods for them.

I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying Mathematics. I will be tutoring math up to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB); I will also be tutoring the entirety of the ACT.

I'm currently a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I'm most familiar with high school math, history, and English as well as SAT and ACT prep. In my experience tutoring I've found that students respond best to a careful walktrough of the key points in a problem, followed by an opportunity to come up with the answer a similar question on their own.

...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 years and still have things to learn, I feel like I have...

...from my flexible teaching styles. I can effectively relate the material to students' lives so they can understand it in their own terms. If the student doesn't reach the answer on his own, then it won't be meaningful or committed to memory. I find a way to lead with questions so the students can feel the small triumphs of answering questions on the road to learning how to solve problems on their own.... If you don't...

...the University of Kansas. I love tutoring kids because learning how to do concepts properly means spending less time struggling on homework and more time doing things you enjoy! I have previously tutored kids for the ACT and IB Math. I like tutoring for the ACT because it is so important for college these days. Having a good score can open so many doors and I want every student to get the opportunities they deserve.

I have been tutoring for close to 20 years. I enjoy helping students fill in the gaps when it comes to mathematics, preferably upper level subjects such as algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I also enjoy helping students improve their ACT scores with better test taking strategies.

My ultimate goal is to strive for the highest and to inspire those with whom I interact to do the same. Be the best that you can be, and be proud of the things you do.

I graduated from KU and enjoy helping people understand math-related subjects! I'm a mechanical engineer, drummer, computer technician, and enjoy playing outdoor sports. If you're needing any help, I can get you up to speed! I do an excellent job of connecting with students and adapting to their learning styles.

...in Robotics from KCKCC in Kansas City, Kansas), a BLS (in Communication and Visual Arts from BGSU in Bowling Green, Ohio), and an MBA (emphasis in Business Administration from University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas). I have been passionate in helping students achieve a basic learning knowledge on various subject matters (but specifically in the mathematical environment) from Kindergarten age through College age for the last 34+ years. My philosophy of teaching is to...
