Award-Winning Tutors serving Leawood, KS

...tutoring in other subjects such as English and History. Anywhere in the sciences is what I really enjoy tutoring and have the best grasp of the content, biology specifically because I have taken a plethora of biology/pre-med classes and have found my passion in that field. I think the major focus of any tutoring session has to be focused around knowledge AND habit retention. Not only should the student learn the content, they should also...

I began tutoring two years ago at Rockhurst University, and I grew to love working with students one-on-one to help them succeed academically. One of my main goals in life is to make education and literacy something attainable and worthwhile (and fun!) for all people. In addition to my tutoring endeavors, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, watching (an re-watching) all of my favorite T.V. shows, reading, writing, and exploring Kansas City.

...in Topeka. But as most have done, my computer education was sitting in front of a computer controlling a small world all my own. I tutor software development specifically web development. I have taught English as a second language but I am an expert at JavaScript and specifically Game AI which sounds fancy but is simply the art and science of adding the illusion of intelligence to game elements. I would describe my teaching philosophy...

My passion for teaching comes from my personal philosophy that the human mind is a person's greatest asset, and to seek to develop it and...

I find learning to be something that involves hard work, a good work ethic, persistence, and an eagerness to learn new things. These are all things I hope to foster in my students and also things in which...

...level in between. But I have found the tutoring model of one-to-one instruction brings quicker results. I enjoy helping students achieve those "ah ha" moments when a concept clicks. Often that moment comes by relating a troubling concept to something the student enjoys. My diverse interests enable me to build rapport and relate assignments to real life. Encouraging students to clearly communicate through writing and verbally explaining material builds success in any academic area. Together...

My philosophy of teaching is to listen, problem solve with real world applications,...

I am a lifelong educator. A student myself I learn things every day and I embrace education at it's core. I enjoy new challenges and I recognize the importance of true learning. I embrace all cultures and enjoy sharing knowledge with my students working towards a common goal. On a personal note I enjoy culinary arts and music. Specifically guitar. I live in KCMO with my Basset Hound "Sundae".

My personal philosophy of education is that anything you teach should encourage further lifelong learning and independent work on their own.

...find that learning can be a lot of fun when you are able to situate yourself in the setting of a certain subject matter. Want to know about ancient Egypt?

Try discovering the etymology of words by taking a look at some Latin manuscripts written by monks centuries ago! As...

...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 to have and work to avoid them. I look forward to meeting new students and helping them be more...

...do better in their classes. Through these experiences I have learned that I very much enjoy facilitating the learning process for other students. I love helping others in scientific subjects such as biology and chemistry, but the path to dental school has given me the opportunity to learn about a variety of other topics.
