Award-Winning AP Chemistry Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...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 in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I...

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...

...both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I've mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both the way a strong humanities student might think and the way a strong science student might think, I'm able to 'translate' for students who are strong in one but not the other. I can make...

...helping mow a neighbor's lawn, or giving a friend a ride somewhere. I tutored many of my friends throughout high school. I am currently attending the University of Kansas. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry on a Pre-Medicine track. I tutor in lots of different types of math and chemistry. My style is to first make sure you know the background content needed to understand the actual topic at hand. Outside of...

I have been tutoring in various subjects for nearly 15 years now. I can tutor various subjects with my strengths being in Reading, Languages, Literature, History and Science. I am best with math through 12th grade. I have experience helping students pass their GED and I can help with all of the sections including math, science, and reading. I am fairly proficient in Spanish, though I read and comprehend it better than I speak it.

Hi! I'm 25 years old chemist; I earned my M.Sc. from University of Michigan in Organic Chemistry and have been tutoring students for the last 3 years. I would love to help you with all your general chemistry and organic chemistry needs!

...below my level of Spanish. And through our debate program, for my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I mentored students new to the activity. I have always seen helping other students as an opportunity of growth, not only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels of math, chemistry, and Spanish. As for standardized tests, I am most oriented towards...

...come up different ways to explain the problem to different students. I love my job. I have received an A+ in algebra 1 and 2, geometry, precalculus, and both calculus courses. I try to prepare myself every time before I tutor a student, I would do many problems that are related to the subject and I like to come up new ways to teach students to help them engage in the lessons.... Be patient, and have...

...and help them to find success in whatever field I can. I've worked closely with peers and younger students through my time in high school and college, and I have great proficiency in many areas of the physical sciences and math. I believe with enough work than any student can find success in and even enjoy any topic they've struggled with. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy working with electronics as a hobby and playing piano.

...the University of Pittsburgh, majoring 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...

Being a student myself, I understand the struggles some students may face academically. Seeing students understand the content and seeing that "ah-ha!" moment is what I strive for when I tutor and it is what drives me to tutor. Seeing other people be successful makes me want to become a better person and knowing that I contributed a little bit is what drives me to teach.

...of many years I have learned that it is usually the math within chemistry that bogs students down. I have developed a sure fire way of breaking through that barrier in the classroom and would love to share that in private tutoring sessions! I also have much experience teaching freshman success which entails organization, attitude control, test prep and test taking, note taking etc. Being a college prof really means life long learner. This extends...

...am a graduate 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...

I am a rising sophomore at Duke University and am double majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Economics.

...sports (of course I'm a little partial to the Jayhawks, Royals, and chiefs), reading, video games, and 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...

...and in a large family, so tutoring my siblings became part of the school day. I am a photographer because I enjoy finding the detail even in the subjects that cause us pain and seeing the beauty in the frustration that leads to success. I am a world traveler that enjoys learning about different cultures and seeing how different people think and enjoy life. I work in cancer clinical research, growing up with a medical...

...a better job. However, as cheesy as it may sound, you never stop learning. I have experienced success and failure in the classroom throughout my academic career. I quit college for several years, unsure if I was ever going back, until I met someone (outside of college) who became a mentor and friend to me. He helped me realize my professional and educational goals. He even challenged me daily to make sure that I was...

As someone who has successfully navigated from an undergraduate program to medical school, I understand and can relate to the struggles of a...

...cumulative GPA of 3.99 and a GPA of 4.0 in my majors of Physics and Mathematics. However, I fully recognize that GPA does not provide a complete picture of a given student.

I was promoted to...
