I graduated from KU and enjoy helping people understand math-related subjects! I'm a mechanical engineer, drummer, computer technician, and enjoy playing outdoor sports. If you're needing any help, I can get you up to speed! I do an excellent job of connecting with students and adapting to their learning styles.

...in math, specifically algebra. As an engineer, I used mathematical formulas to specify actual dynamic systems. I was amazed at how some numbers on paper or lines on a computer screen can result in a real functioning machine. When I teach, my passion is to relay this awareness to each student. But I discovered many students had difficulty with the math. Over the years I realized the reasons are as numerous as the number of...

I am passionate about teaching reading and writing. I went to KSU, have my masters degree and 25 years experience being a kindergarten teacher. I love to see my students succeed. I can provide the skills and tools to help my students thrive in the classroom.

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.

...the group to feel left out or behind. I play to the strengths they show and give those the chance to shine. I use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on. Learning should not be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing...

...taught for over 30 years at the 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...

...German I and II and the ACT. I like to tutor German because I love the culture and the language (and have visited Germany twice). My style of tutoring is more laid back, but I like to focus on areas that students have a particularly hard time. Outside of academics, I am an outdoorsman. I am an Eagle Scout, and so I enjoy backpacking, camping, canoeing, and generally being outside. Auf Wiedersehen!... One-on-one instruction!... Get to...

I also worked as a tutor for the Academic Learning Center at KU where I was promoted to head biology tutor.

Through this, I have...

While at both KU and OSU I taught various courses for a total of ten years, including...

...math and English section. I also have some success in the reading and science section. I like to work with students to find methods and tricks that work for them and that they understand. I have been a General Chemistry Tutor at the University of Kansas for one year and was an Introduction to Organismal Biology TA at the University of Kansas. I like to learn and understand the way particular students think as well...

...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 Kansas City area. Aside...

...is the only way I could know for sure that I have mastered a material. By using creative, and interactive methods, I am able to teach students effectively at their skill level, because I know everyone learns differently.

...something works on their own significantly improves long term recall, instead of simply feeding them formulae and rules for them to regurgitate on an examination. As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize with specific concepts and areas students are struggling with. I graduated high school with enough credits to obtain a minor in mathematics...

Between my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I taught English as a Foreign Language in the Czech Republic.

I found these tutoring sessions to be enjoyable and very rewarding, and I look forward to tutoring more in the future.

...in Honduras at a bilingual school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Music, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and...

...both religion and business, I have attempted to unite ideas from both disciplines to create more understanding as to why and how ideas are influenced by various constituent elements of society. I have taken advantage of any opportunity to have contact with students of diverse cultural backgrounds.
