Award-Winning Languages Tutors serving Olathe, KS

...they came to me asking for help. After I graduated, I tutored a woman who was studying for the citizenship test to become a U.S. Citizen. As a native Spanish speaker, she had trouble pronouncing and understanding certain words. After two months of tutoring, she took the test and passed with flying colors. It was during this time that I discovered my passion and skills for tutoring. I really care about my students and want...

...as much enjoyment from helping others with their writing as I do writing myself. In the sciences, I have had exposure to biochemistry, introductory biology, and general, organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry. In my teaching, my current focus is on general chemistry (at the high school or college level) and organic chemistry, both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just...

...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...

...come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center. I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job is seeing when a kid understands a concept after struggling for so long.... I am generally...

I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations.

...Organic Chemistry, both to help them prepare for exams and to master the material myself. Last summer, I was fortunate enough to teach a pharmacology class to 15 Kansas University students. Yet, I am comfortable not only with college students, but with high school, middle school and even elementary school students. I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any math and science academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload...

I believe when people know you care about them and their goals they are willing to work harder. My goal is to show my students I do care and work with them to reach their educational goals.

I'm a master's student looking for a side gig over the summer. I enjoy teaching; I've student taught my peers through my own education plus two years of TA at a middle school. I like to make learning fun - riddles, puzzles, creative thinking over just filling in the right steps :)

We never stop learning. We learn something new everyday. New knowledge to teach new people. Effort is what matters where there's a well there's a must into learning.

...role of a coach for students or adults who are looking to learn a language for the first time, maintain or improve their skills, or are preparing for a practical exam such as a language proficiency test. For students who are currently enrolled in Spanish courses and want extra help, I can tailor my instruction to best supplement what their teacher is already doing in class - and provide them with leads on other resources...

...is the value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

...classes. I am a recently returned Peace Corps Volunteer; I spent over a year working in a small school in Namibia (Southern Africa) teaching English, Math, and Computer Skills in a resource-poor environment. I am enthusiastic and creative, and am constantly scanning the latest pedagogical literature to keep abreast of current teaching theories. My strengths lie in verbal expression, although I have a background in science (especially biology) as well. My specialty is helping to...

I'm here to help people and bring a creativity to math. Tutoring to make sure students understand the concept and help build confidence in their abilities. Math can be fun. I enjoy writing poetry, dancing, being outdoors, acting, and hanging with friends and family. Building connections and helping people are very important to me.

...of submerging myself in the Italian culture to further my Italian proficiency by living in Italy for a month with a host family the summer after my junior year of high school and creating life long relationships. I am currently pursuing my Masters in English Curriculum and Instruction. I was employed as a Paraeducator and Coach for the Independence School district. I worked with 9th and 10th grade students across all subjects however the majority...

...combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority improve their performance, which gives them confidence, which improves their performance even more. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a positive example for students and watching their confidence grow until they forget what...

...years. Finally, I began online tutoring for Varsity Tutors a few years ago and have focused my efforts with over 60 students (and counting) in the two areas that I feel interest me the most and where I have the most experience: anatomy and physiology, and public speaking. I have a passion for learning and sharing my learning with others about the human body, particularly how things work-that is, its physiology. I have encountered many...

...for singers. My experience as an actress enables me to assist students struggling with issues related to public speaking. I am also a published writer, and can help you at any level of French, whether you are just beginning, more advanced, or just need some help pronouncing French words. I take a very personalized approach with each student. I believe that everyone can succeed if given the chance to move at his or her own...

My ultimate goal is to strive for the highest and to inspire those with whom I interact to do the same. Be the best that you can be, and be proud of the things you do.

...am a full-time attorney, practicing criminal law. I first got into tutoring in law school, when I was a study group leader for incoming first-year law students. I have also tutored students study to take the bar exam. Tutoring is a challenging yet rewarding experience for me. Everyone learns a little bit differently from someone else, and to be able to help another student succeed in their academic life is a privilege for me. Outside...

...learn differently is a key factor in reaching educational goals, which is why I teach content using differentiated instruction. I am excited to branch out and tutor subjects besides Spanish in the Kansas City area, including Math and English language skills, even though Spanish holds a special place in my heart. When I am not teaching Spanish, I enjoy reading books (currently the Hunger Games series), watching movies, playing video games (I am a Mario...
