Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Overland Park, KS

...current college student, I have tutored students in elementary school all the way up through the age of my current peers. In preparation for college, I took the ACT multiple times and in the process learned a great deal of tips and strategies that are useful for raising scores. I believe in helping students truly understand the material, not just memorize it. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!

...also trying to work in some volunteer work in the local area. Overall, each session should be entirely about helping the student attain success in the subject by teaching them in a fashion they can understand. I never liked teachers who had a rigid learning approach; it is well known not everyone learns in the same fashion and I believe that all students can improve their academic success if they can find what works for...

As a tutor, I would like to foster not only mastery of individual subjects, but a strengthened approach to academia in general. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing and writing music on the guitar, watching movies, playing basketball with my friends, and hanging out with my animals.

...in Neuroscience. My experiences in tutoring have come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center. I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job is seeing when a kid understands a concept...

...math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school. My ultimate goal is to help students get to a point where they feel confident enough about a subject that they can answer questions without any help and feel prepared for their exams. I can't wait to get back into tutoring and helping students reach...

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.

I am a pre-med student at the University of Kansas. I am studying molecular, cellular and developmental biology. ... Practice, practice, and practice some more!... Find out their strengths and weaknesses within the subject and with their overall study methods.... Talk through the steps of solving an unknown problem, including where to look for the answer, so they can begin to learn how to do it on their own.... Remind them why we are studying and...

...really care about my students and want them to succeed. Watching a young child understand something for the first time, or an adult student work so hard and with such determination to better their future, these things brighten my life, and push me be the best tutor I can be. I believe that education is extremely important, not only to have a successful career, but to learn the discipline necessary to have a successful and...

...teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers learn French both individually and in small groups; and most recently, I worked as an English language teacher in France, helping small groups of middle- and high-schoolers put...

...emphasis in biochemistry. In my final semester of college, I tutored chemistry online, and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I am a scientist, so I mainly tutor chemistry, but I am also an excellent essay writer, editor, and test taker. As a result I am well equipped to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, math, essay writing, report writing, editing, and ACT Prep. I love seeing students with a...

...tutored students in a wide range of materials from standardized tests (SAT and ACT), to various high-school subjects (including Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry). I scored in the 99th percentile of both the ACT and SAT, and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for. Standardized testing and school in general can be a huge stress on students, and as a...

...English/Grammar and Math because these have always made logical sense to me. However, I also enjoy tutoring other science related subjects as well. My teaching philosophy is that it is always possible to try a little but harder to achieve the goals you set out to reach. Other that studying until the wee hours of the night, I enjoy trying new taco places, taking naps, and volunteering at the local free clinic.

...experience. I have made a living with my communication skills and I want to help struggling English students develop theirs. My goal is to help my students raise their grades/test scores and let them grow into the wordsmiths they were meant to be! My sessions include: -learning about my student and their reason for hiring a tutor -setting goals and a time frame for achieving them -assessing their skills -providing assistance with their assignments, test...

...it! I typically tutor in Spanish or Biology but also have experience in Liberal Arts and Social Studies. To engage my students, I find ways to make the material relevant to their own lives, and make the tutoring experience comfortable and enjoyable. I aim to inspire passion and pride in my students so that they are striving to be better on their own, and I serve as the coach to get them there. When not...

...myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help...

...in need of a tutor. My main area of focus is within the English discipline; which is what my Masters of Arts illustrates. This includes subjects such as composition, literature (of any period/genre), grammar/mechanics, history of the English language, public speaking, etc. However, I also have experience in test prep for those that seek higher educational opportunities. I'm happily married (upcoming 4 years in June) and enjoy time with my cat (as well as my...

I enjoy helping students reach their highest potential. My philosophy is that all people can learn and finding their intelligence is my goal in tutoring.

...ensure that they have a successful learning experience. Ultimately, it is my goal to not only teach students the material, but teach them a process for thinking and problem solving that will help them in all disciplines in school and life. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I particularly enjoy test prep and math because I think those are the subjects where I can see students learning not only concepts, but also problem solving strategies.

...College with a B.S. in mathematics and from Stony Brook University with an M.S. in applied mathematics and statistics. In addition, I achieved my Ph.D. in mathematics education from New York University. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring a wide variety of mathematical subjects across all age groups from middle school to graduate level level courses. As a former college teacher and administrator, I have first-hand knowledge of how and why students struggle...

...Biology and a minor in Writing. I am a dental student at University of Missouri-Kansas City and I will graduate with a DDS in 2025. I have benefitted immensely from study groups, peer workshops, and online resources during my time in undergrad, so I know how much a little extra work can help in the long run. I am excited to work with you to make your English, reading, writing, biology, or psychology goals a...
