While I do love my job-...

...area, working together towards a goal makes it all the better. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Lawrence in 2013 for grad school, and I love it here. It's a pretty small town, so we've probably crossed paths at some point at the farmers market, at the monthly Free State Story Slam, or on an outdoor basketball court. And I hope we can make it work so that we'll be able to get...

Teaching mathematics is the best hobby .

...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 how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is...

I firmly believe that in order to succeed in math, it is important to have organized thoughts.

...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 others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to...

Once in chiropractic school, study groups was pivotal in my achievements as a student. It didn't matter if it was a hands on practical or...

I believe I have many qualities and the experience to be a great tutor, especially a great MCAT tutor.

He is qualified to teach writing of all kinds, English structure and history, and literature of every era. David's passion is language; his vision is to share and help grow that passion in others.

...we work through a problem. By challenging students to work through a problem based on their knowledge, it allows them to see possible flaws with their logic so they will not make the same mistake in the future. This also enhances their understanding of a concept because they are seeing where the mistake was rather than me simply pointing it out to them. Outside of academia, I am interested in a variety of things. As...

There no better way to learn than with someone who genuinely cares about your success. I believe that everyone can learn anything, it just takes the time and the right kind of methods for them.

After teaching college for eight years and moving to the corporate world, I want to use my experience to help others improve their skills and understanding of English, Speaking, Business and Government. During my spare time, I can be found at a Royals game, reading, exploring the Nelson or at the Lake of the Ozarks....
