For 15 years I have served elementary through university-level students in the classroom and as a part-time tutor. There is so much to learn and explore in the Spanish language and I'm looking forward to exploring Spanish with you.

I believe that art is for everyone, and the most important part is to have fun and enjoy it! My philosophy is to build a solid foundation of drawing skills and help a student achieve their artistic goals. I love seeing a student grow in their creative skills and create work they are proud of.
One of my main passions in life is working with other people to solve difficult problems and develop better strategies for making educational institutions work best for them. I've been lucky enough to do this in numerous settings, whether it be as a teacher, counselor, or tutor, and with very diverse populations from many different parts of the U.S. I spend much of my personal time reading and writing, and love talking to and learning from others' interests and abilities in these areas. While I'm currently working on a PhD in Psychology, my interests are really interdisciplinary, which includes thinking about big philosophical questions as well as learning about recent innovations in science and technology. If you share any of these interests, I'd be happy to get to know you better through a one-on-one tutoring session.
Being raised on a farm in Missouri, I've always had a strong interest in math and science. I especially liked the applied side of things. The "bean in a cup" experiment in elementary school grew into a hobby greenhouse as a teenager providing my family with vegetables for the table. It went on to grow into a full time family business which helped put me through college. The practical experience I got with all of this was invaluable. With more of a hands on approach, applied science and math allows you to take what you think you learned in class and see it in action in real life experiences. The experiences allow better integration of abstract concepts into reality, concreting what you know and leaving you with a desire to find out more.I attended college at Northwest Missouri State University and received a B.S. in ACS-accredited Chemistry in 2008. I have therefore had a lot of chemistry, including organic and p-chem as well as algebra, trig, geometry and multi-variate calculus. While I was a tutor for the Chemistry/Physics department (and asked to tutor College Lit and Bio labs) I actually had several classes in biology and agribusiness that led me to my graduate work at Arizona State. I am currently finishing up my PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology with emphasis on microalgal cultivation. I have a wide array of interests and enjoy spending time outdoor hiking and mountain biking.Overall, I'd say I'm a natural born problem solver. I love solving problems, especially abstract ones requiring creativity and imagination. I think it is the challenge of pulling from all of your life experiences and knowledge to come up with a solution that works. I think the key for success is having enough patience to keep ones imagination at work long enough to come up with a solution. I believe every problem has a solution, sometimes many.'It is often said that men are ruled by their imaginations; but it would be truer to say they are governed by the weakness of their imaginations.'Walter Bagehot

With a PhD in English and 25 years of teaching face-to-face and online, I have helped students learn writing and literature at all levels of education. I believe that online education and tutoring opens doors to success for students, and I look forward to helping them succeed.
I truly believe every child can grow, and helping students see that growth in themselves is what I love most. There's nothing better than watching a student gain confidence and have that moment when learning finally clicks - it's worth celebrating! With my experience in elementary classrooms and as an interventionist and instructional coach, I know that every child learns differently. I focus on building strong relationships and getting to know each child as a whole, including their strengths, challenges, and anything that might be getting in the way of learning. I work to create a supportive space where students feel comfortable, encouraged, and ready to give it a try, because learning takes courage, and we're in it together! In our tutoring sessions, I'll meet your child where they are and help them grow into a more confident, successful learner. I'd love the opportunity to support your child's learning journey.

I am currently an undergraduate at Northwest Missouri State University. I am a mathematics major with computer science and economics minors. My two passions in life are God and mathematics. My goal is to help other students see the wonders and beauty that math can bring to everyday life. I have worked with several students in this area before, both as a paid tutor and as an unpaid fellow classmate. I approach tutoring 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, 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.
I bring over twenty-two years as an educator to the table. I have served a variety of students as a special education professional, but have also collaborated with the regular education population. Math and Reading instruction are my relative areas of instructional strength; however, I have assisted students in every academic genre. I have experience to some degree with all grade levels K-12.My goal is to assist and mentor young adults through their trials and tribulations. I look forward to learning from mistakes and celebrating successes along our pathway toward knowledge.

I graduated in May of 2020 from Creighton with my DPT. Prior to physical therapy school, I attended Northwest Missouri State University and received my B.S. in both biology and psychology. I've always loved helping others, thus leading me into the field of physical therapy! Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I've always found joy in helping other students as it benefits us both. My tutoring style definitely focuses on the reasoning of how you got to the answer rather than if you got the right answer. Many of my exercises are very situation based (as in "a patient with x,y,and z walks into your clinic...what do you do?").
I graduated from Emporia State University with a teaching degree in mathematics and six years later completed my masters at Northwest Missouri State University in School Computer Studies.
