Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Kansas City, MO

...me how to bring subjects, often viewed as boring, to life for them. I really enjoy working with students on History and English, as well as Critical Reading and Writing test prep. I hope that my students come away from our sessions with both the factual foundation that will they need to succeed, and a broader understanding of the subject's importance. In my free time, I love, reading, creative writing, riding horses, playing with my...

...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,...

...and was astounded at how many of them looked at me with smiles of recognition. My love for tutoring has extended into college. I have just finished my first year at The University of Dallas where I am currently pursuing all subjects under the sun; however, I am leaning towards Majors in English and Classical Philology. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, a group of my colleagues and me visit a nearby grade school to help...

Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!

I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying Mathematics. I will be tutoring math up to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB); I will also be tutoring the entirety of the ACT.

...to the long term and apply this not only to languages, but many other subjects, as well. I am a strong believer in the value and necessity of education, which is why I intend to make it my life long career. As such, I try to encourage a fun but results oriented learning environment for all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, my salt water aquariums, and spending time with my...

I'm a recent graduate of Kansas State University with a degree in Life Sciences. I am able to help students with many subjects but I feel best when teaching life sciences (obviously), as well as history and Latin. In my free time I enjoy reading, playing video games, learning new things, and watching and talking about films, TV, etc. I look forward to helping people succeed.

..."what", and teach them an enjoyment of learning even if they dont like the subject. I foster a fun and creative learning environment and meet your/your students individual needs. My experience includes classical education, private education, adult education, parent and student education, middle school students, college prep, college level English courses, and homeschooling my own children. I enjoy outdoor life: especially the hanging in my hammock in the mountains with a great book!

...law in New York City for ten years before deciding to go back to school for Classics. I am currently developing a publication on the relative clause in Ancient Greek and I hope to begin a PhD program in the fall. I completed my MA with a 4.0 GPA and received a perfect score on the verbal GRE. I also scored 168 on the LSAT and graduated in the top ten percent of my law...

...Studies, English Language Arts, and Basic Computer training. During my teacher training and after graduation, I taught students from 6th - 12th grades Latin, Etymology and German. I have taught English to non-native English speakers from 4 - 18 years old, in both Kansas City, MO and Seoul, South Korea. Though I tutor in myriad subjects, I am most passionate about Latin, English, and Social Studies. I am fascinated by how language, literature and culture...

...and 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...

...many diverse experiences with children. I do have a bachelors from Emporia State in integrated studies and a masters in elementary education from Rockhurst University. Throughout my educational career, I have been a summer school teacher assistant, elementary and secondary tutor (the elementary tutoring was mainly math), a resource aide, substitute teacher and a camp counselor. Nothing excites me more than watching children reach their full potential. I love it when the light bulb suddenly...

...literature and composition. Besides Latin, one of my favorite topics to teach is writing. Writing is a chief personal pleasure and perhaps my greatest talent, and I derive just 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...

...improve my craft. Students, parents, supervisors, and colleagues have described me as efficient, extremely patient, creative, and caring. I am certified to tutor in a variety of subjects and consider the following areas to be my specialties: *Standardized tests, such as the ISEE, SSAT, and AP examinations *Students who demonstrate challenging behaviors *Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations! Outside of my direct...

...favorite subject to tutor is algebra. Algebra features so many of the basic mathematical tools which become instinct in higher level math like calculus, my favorite subject to study. I have a varied repertoire of subjects which I tutor as I do consider myself a renaissance man. I bring my bold and fresh teaching approach to all subjects and students. I have experience tutoring and/or taking coursework in all subjects listed. I have worked with...

...am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and I am grateful to have the chance to...

...class; but, a great tutor can transform the way a student operates in all of their academic work and prepare them to be an even better student across the board. I strive for the latter as a tutor. So that you can have a better idea of who I am, I will tell you a few non-academic things about myself. First and foremost, I have an undying love for Star Wars that began and has been...

...Roman mythology; high school students at my previous school in geometry, English, French, and Latin; and this year, I am tutoring a graduate student who recently immigrated to the United States in ESL and conversational English. As for my preferred subjects, I have an abundance of knowledge of and experience with college test preparation (both SAT and ACT, but especially the SAT). Because I went through the standardized testing process myself not too long ago,...

...with three other women in 2013. Since then, most of my non-tutoring hours are spent performing, rehearsing, directing, and producing for the company. We were shortlisted for the Scottish Daily Mail Drama Award in 2014 and will be taking our newest work, The ME, to the Edinburgh Festival this summer. I also work at Time In Children's Arts Initiative, a program that teaches opera appreciation and fine art to Pre-K through Fourth Grade public school...

...and a tutor, I have gained invaluable experience about how to help students, all the while learning so much about life from my students themselves. Besides tutoring, I make my living writing content professionally for several ed tech companies. Outside of work, I love to hike and play with my dog. I am a huge traveler and am very thankful to have a career that allows me to be flexible in my location.... I believe that...
