Students are the resource upon which our future depends and it is important to ensure that they receive the best education possible. However, learning and teaching is a two way street. The teacher must be prepared and must enthuse the student and the student must be willing to learn and put in the necessary effort to absorb the material. If these conditions are met the process will be rewarding for both the teacher and the student.I enjoy teaching about the wonders of biology, the intricacies of history, and seeing the excitement of students as they learn new things. I continually read about science and study biology, genetics, history, philosophy. I am Board Certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. I belong to the Civil War Round Table of Kansas City, various Philosophy Clubs, a Science group, and am sponsor of a group called American History Enthusiasts. A teacher must also be a student.As a former practicing plastic and reconstructive surgeon I have gained a practical knowledge of anatomy, physiology, patient care and the art of dealing with patients and their families. I taught surgery residents and nurses about operative techniques and patient care. This background nicely translates into my ability to teach and relate to students and their families.I am patient, laid back, humorous, and can establish a rapport with people of any age. I prepare diligently for each session that I teach and make certain my student understands the material. Each session must be rewarding to both student and teacher.

I graduated from The University of Central Missouri receiving my BSN after first receiving my ADN from Penn Valley Community College. I have been a nurse for five years now and in the healthcare field for 8 years, while experiencing a wide variety of patient care. I have worked at a few reputable hospitals in the Kansas City metro area, including The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health Systems in areas such as Telemetry, Medical Intensive Care, Cardiothoracic Pre and Post Op Recovery. Recently, I made the decision to work towards receiving an MSN in Nursing Education because I want to continue to make a positive impact on new and upcoming nurses in the healthcare field. I am passionate about helping students because I remember what it was like in nursing school, and want to help by sharing tactics to pass tests that worked for myself and my friends. Outside of nursing, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and virtual visits with my friends.

Hello there! Teaching is my passion. I have been teaching in one capacity or another all of my adult life. I currently teach high school ELL and enjoy my job and students very much. I aspire every day to help my students reach their goals and to become successful in all of their pursuits.I am hard working, patient, kind, and very knowledgeable of the subjects I teach and tutor. My goal as your tutor is simple; to help and assist you in anyway possible so that you feel successful and confident. Together we can achieve the goals and objectives you are striving to accomplish. I approach teaching and learning in a flexible and creative way! Believe it or not learning should be great fun!I am a mother to two college students, ( a 21 year old son and an 18 year old daughter), and the owner of a fabulous German Shorthair Pointer.I love keeping busy by working in my yard, reading a good book, walking my dog, exercising, and spending quality time with family and friends. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri, Columbia and have a Master's Degree from Pittsburg State University. I have lived in the Kansas City area for over 25 years.I hope this gives you an idea of who I am and what I have to offer you. I look forward to meeting you and getting started!

I am a graduate of The University of Tulsa, where I received BA degrees in Anthropology and Sociology. While studying at Tulsa, I tutored students in several subjects including, Sociology, Anthropology, and Statistics, among others. In addition, I occasionally served as a guest lecturer at the University's introductory-level Sociology courses. I offer tutoring in SAT/ACT test prep, English, Anthropology, Sociology, and Social Studies. I enjoy most working with students on writing and revising essays in any subject. When I'm tutoring, I think it is most important to talk through issues with my students and try to ascertain how they're thinking about the problems they're trying to solve. If you're thinking about the fundamentals of a problem in the correct way, any other details will fall into place fairly easily.In addition to tutoring, I am a touring stand-up comedian. In my spare time, I enjoy competitive swimming, reading, and I also play a pretty mean MarioKart 64.

I am a graduate of the University of Kansas, with bachelor's degrees in biology and environmental studies. While I am fascinated by the natural world, I also have interests in other fields, such as literature, philosophy, and foreign languages. One of the reasons I like tutoring is because it allows me to use what I have learned in such fields to help others gain confidence in and become excited about a subject. I especially love to tutor in French, which I studied at the Universit du Havre and minored in during college.I believe that curiosity is the most important ingredient in learning. As a tutor, I ask questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all!Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math 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 their language learning into practice by organizing projects, conversations, and debates.In my free time, I like to read, write, draw, and learn about topics of interest such as Spanish and world literature.

I am a graduate from the College of Engineering at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering and have just moved back home to the Kansas City area to start my job at Deloitte Consulting in the near future. During the time I was pursuing my undergraduate degree I tutored for introductory engineering courses such as Chemistry and Physics, and helped grade and guide students on their lab reports in the Introduction to Industrial Engineering course. I love helping students, and really consider it to be one of my hobbies, as I have gained so much from the education I was fortunate enough to have received and believe that I have gained the technical competencies and communication skills that allow me to help students by removing obstacles in their course of learning. I have a strong background in Math and Science and involvement in many campus and community organizations that honed my interpersonal skills. I studied abroad in the Czech Republic during my time at Kansas State and caught the travel bug, so am currently planning my return trip to Europe this summer!

I am a recent graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. At university, I taught courses in Robotics and Computing for several semesters, and was consistently named to the list of Teachers Ranked as Excellent based on student evaluations. My academic passion lies in robotics, in which my work and teaching experience allows me to tutor a wide variety of subjects, including Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Programming, and the underlying Math and Physics required in this field. My teaching philosophy focuses on teaching concepts and problem solving skills. I believe it is important to develop a deep understanding of the material and how to apply it, rather than learning simply to pass a test. I work best with students who are motivated to learn and willing to put in the effort necessary to do so.

I have a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Communication, with a minor in Psychology. I am currently in a Master's degree for Psychology. I am a part of two national honor societies and will soon be joining my third. Alongside my accomplishments in education, I also am a Certified Speech Writer and will be presenting an original paper at the PCA/ACA Annual Conference this spring.I was an adjunct professor for Communication for two semesters at Southern Utah University and was a Presentation Specialist before that. While adjuncting, I worked as a Student Mentor for the Student Disabilities Center at my University. I also worked as an Academic Coach for an online high school where I met with them weekly on Skype. My Master's thesis was written on student learning. I have a passion for teaching and watching students succeed.

Current English BA Student at UMKCI'm really excited for the opportunity to apply my skills and help teach those who need the help! I am happy to explain whatever questions are asked, and I am patient and thorough. I enjoy writing, art, and creativity in general.
