Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Overland Park, KS

...college, I was also involved in tutoring, working with students in a range of subjects from College Algebra to Calculus in math, and all sorts of science courses, including Genetics, Physics, and Molecular Cell Biology. I tutor a wide range of math and science classes, but my favorites are Algebra, Genetics, and Physics. When working with a student, I have found that showing the student that you are excited and interested in the subject, as...

...intimate relationship with tutoring, in part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I 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...

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ... I have two teaching philosophies as a tutor: to get students to think about science (and other classes) as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences.... In a typical first session with a student I will introduce myself and then ask them questions about themselves, such as "What is your favorite color?" or " What is your favorite hobby?" as an ice breaker and then follow up by telling them something about me.

...chemist, teacher, and tutor. I'm currently working on a Masters Degree in Teaching. My favorite thing about teaching is helping students learn how awesome science is. Everything we interact with everyday is made possible because of it. I fully believe that anyone can become great at math or science. I am also an accomplished amatuer musician. I play piano and low brass instruments. I've played all over the world, and am very active in the...

I am currently a Neurology Resident at Kansas University Medical Center. I am ready to tutor a number of subjects, but I would like to help students with MCAT or GRE test preparation. I favor the Sciences but I would be happy to tutor in any subject. I was a TA in college and taught other learners in medical...

...as an opportunity for the student to come to the answer on their own with minimal guidance from me. My job is to simply watch the student work and if needed, lead them to the 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,...

...tutoring calculus 1, 2, sophomore level linear algebra, and differential equations. The "true power" of applied mathematics shines brightest in these subjects, and it excites me when I can share this with my students and give them that "ah ha! that's what a derivative does!" moment. My preferred style of teaching/tutoring is a 'resource-orientated' approach. Very often you will have tutors simply there to answer the students' questions "how do I solve for x?" and...

...adapt to the individual needs of each student. Furthermore, I also volunteer at the UMKC Dream Project, an organization in which we tutor middle school and high school students from the Kansas City area. As a current medical student at UMKC, I am able to tutor higher level science courses, but I am also comfortable with helping my clients with math courses and test prep. My goal for my students is that they understand concepts...

...high school level and now the community college level. In those years, I have learned a lot about student learning. Obviously, not every student learns the same way. I try to present topics from different points of view with different methods of solving them whenever possible. I want math to be as painless as possible for students. Since I have taught for so long, I can anticipate some of the difficulties that students are going...

...I also have become and a certified EMT and served a member of the Harvard Emergency Medical System. I am passionate medicine and plan to apply to medical school. I have always enjoyed teaching. During college, I would tutor my friends in Calculus and Organic Chemistry, both to help them prepare for exams and to master the material myself. Last summer, I was fortunate enough to teach a pharmacology class to 15 Kansas University students....
