I have been teaching in the elementary and middle school classrooms for 13 years. I have worked as an after school tutor during many school years with 5-12 graders.

I have tutored many people in several subjects over the years and find the work fulfilling. I recently have graduated out of the education system and am well aware of what it takes to succeed. I now have a BA in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate and on the way to earning these degrees I successfully passed some of the worlds most difficult tests on the first attempt. On top of the education, I am able to teach my superior test taking and study strategies to my pupils, no matter what age.

Elizabeth H - Dearborn, MO 64439 (27 mi) - Composition Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I came to teaching as a second career when I realized I was not happy in local politics. I earned a degree in Secondary Education with English certification grades 5-12. I have taught in rural as well as urban schools and schools in between. I have a strong command of grammar and reading comprehension skills. I have lead students in debate teams as well. I am very straightforward in my style. I really enjoy doing things my way and seeing how the student responds. If the response is not positive then I modify and try again until we get it right. I am very much an auditory person myself so I am very verbal and love to talk things through.

Julie M - Douglas, GA 31535 (36.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I have been tutoring for many years with different kinds of children. To begin with, I tutored my younger sister starting when she was about seven years old to age twelve or thirteen. In high school, I also volunteered for an after-school program for Hispanic children ages seven-twelve where I helped them with their homework in various subjects. In addition, I spent about four months tutoring a severely autistic child, teaching him different communication skills and helping him to form patterns. I have always been an 'A' student and I excel in math, science, English, foreign languages, and history. I am best with math and science for elementary up to ninth or tenth grade students, yet I can tutor students in history, reading, and English for all ages. I earned my bachelor's degree in communications, so I have learned to master social studies and the English language by writing copi

David H - Lawrence, KS 66044 (37.1 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed working with children. I believe that having as many positive role-models as possible can really help to shape a student's outlook on not only their education, but how they will tackle problems and opportunities in their lives for a long time. If a student learns that it takes hard work and discipline to achieve good grades and a great education from the beginning, it can help him or her to really do great things later on in life. With that being said, I genuinely care for kids as well. I consider myself a nurturing and yet challenging coach, mentor and tutor because I understand that often times students that are in need of academic help are often also in need of people that genuinely care about their well-being. Through my English and Creative Writing degree at the University of Missouri, I have earned a lot of experience in the field of English. My reading c

michael j - Parkville, MO 64152 (37.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $34.50/hr.
I am a lover of learning. I began my teaching and tutoring as a home school father. One of the goals I set for my children, and later my students, is that of understanding the idea of self-direction. Helping students grasp onto the responsibility habit has shown to be a very strong foundation in my continued teaching and tutoring. Students gain an unmistakable self confidence; the drive to reach their goals. It seems that this gain in personal growth is the real driver to their academic achievements. While I was a full time student I was employed at the Academic Support Center on the Park University Campus. I have a BA in English and a minor with honors in Psychology. I have finished approximately 85% of my Education degree. I currently teach and tutor privately. As a lover of learning, I enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I am also very aware that often students are relu

Eric N - Bonner Springs, KS 66012 (38 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have always picked things up quickly, more quickly than my peers. My peers have often come to me to ask for my help in those areas. I also see how to apply what I have learned to original problems because I see connections and hold a deeper understanding of the material. My double major in Chemistry and Biochemistry with a mino in Mathematics was full of its fair share of difficult material, and I was almost always able to help my peers, as well as younger students, through their problems. I can usually find a way to relate the material that the student is struggling with to something else that they understand. When they can make connections to more familiar things, then they can think themselves through problems more effectively. I usually achieve this by showing them how to do a problem, doing a problem or two with them, and then having them do problems on their own, only assisting w

Jennifer M - Kansas City, MO 64151 (38.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I have extensive experience in the field of Business Management particularly in Accounting. I graduated from Rockhurst University, a Jesuit University well known for its business graduates. I have owned my own business and worked as an independent contractor for the last six years in the Kansas City area. I have spent time volunteering my tutoring services at the Kansas City Public Library. I have also volunteered for CAPA and currently sit on the board of directors for KCFDC as the treasurer. I have two children of my own and understand that all people learn in their own way. I have proven success with helping children find the way to learn that works best for them. Both of my kids are in the talented and gifted programs at school. I am patient but firm and do not like to waste time or money.

Anna R - Lawrence, KS 66047 (39.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I strive to help each student grasp concepts rather than merely memorizing facts. I also encourage learning through discovery and hands-on experience as much as possible. I think learning is fun, and I try to communicate that enthusiasm to my students. Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it also g

Lindsey H - Topeka, KS 66614 (40.4 mi) - Composition Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I have always enjoyed interacting with children of all ages. I currently serve as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at an inner - city elementary school. During my three years in this position, it has become extremely apparent that all children....no matter their abilities....are capable of reaching their full potential. It is simply a matter of adapting my teaching style to their learning strengths. I am a patient, easy going individual who tries to improve upon the struggles that I encountered on my own academic journey so the students that I am working with walk away with confidence in school and really, all facets of life. I graduated from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas with a degree in Communications (emphasis in Journalism) along with minors in Religion and Youth Ministry. While in college, I was a member of the yearbook staff as well as serving as an editor in var

Isabelle P - Topeka, KS 66614 (40.5 mi) - Composition Tutor - $38.00/hr.
As a native French speaker who graduated from the University of Kansas with a Master in Urban Planning and a BA in Political Science.
I have tutored students in French and English as a second language. Prior to obtaining my BA, I tutored high school students for a year in Kansas City.
I can relate to students struggling to learn a language as I did when I started learning English, which turned out to be quite challenging for me. I decided to spend a year abroad and learn English as an exchange student I love to share my knowledge. I believe that everyone should have a chance to learn and get educated.
I am patient, easy going but firm. I believe that anyone can improve with the appropriate surrounding and a desire to learn.
