Christine
Experienced Reading and Math Tutor for First-Seventh Grades
Hello! Are you looking for someone to make a personal connection and build academic strengths with your child? I am passionate about getting to know children as individuals and helping to build self motivation. Teaching (and tutoring!) is so much more than just numbers and books. I will work with your child's existing strengths to grow self esteem and confidence. Often times, a child's biggest academic hurdle is their own negative feelings about their abilities. I am all about focusing on the... Read more

English--specialty in research writing and literature.
I am absolutely fascinated by the English language and have spent my academic career studying it. Being able to share that fascination is one of the things I enjoy most about teaching. However, I know many people, no matter their walk in life, struggle with the intricacies and utter confusion which goes hand and hand with communicating in (arguably) the most complicated language in the world. I have a life-long interest in teaching. After scoring a 31 on my English ACTs when I was 17, I w... Read more
Semah
Teaching TEFL for all ages
I started my career as a TEFL teacher by first being a student of a foreign language; however, not in school but in real life. I moved to Bulgaria and worked there, without knowing a single Bulgarian word before I left. My teacher in Bulgarian was flexible, funny, and active in my learning experience and he gave me the skills I needed to succeed. Therefore, I understand what it means to live in an area without knowing the language and learning from zero. I understand how students feel, when t... Read more

I have enjoyed teaching all grade levels, preschool to college
After completing my master's in psychology, I taught at Furman University in SC and then locally at DeVry. When my daughter started kindergarten, I became a very involved parent, volunteering multiple days to help with tutoring as well as other teacher's aide needs. I discovered that I could work part-time as a para-professional which I then did, teaching Speech at an elementary school, then a middle school and finally at a high school. I really enjoy the one-on-one relationship I can get... Read more

I am currently a graduate student at KUMC in the Biostatistics program, where I am also a Graduate Research Assistant. As part of my GRA, I am tutoring an intro statistics course. Helping students understand the concepts in that course has been such a great experience that I decided I want to look for more opportunities to tutor in math. For fun I like to play/watch sports and I also enjoy playing board games. I have passed these courses in college, earning A's. I currently am pursuing a Ma... Read more

I love teaching, tutoring and working with children. I love it when the light bulb goes on, and I will be as patient and encouraging as I can to make that happen. In college, I have worked as a reading/math tutor and Spanish tutor for the past three years. Spanish, Psychology, and Writing are definitely my favorite subjects to teach and tutor. I majored in Psychology and Spanish while at Penn. As someone who had to work to be good at math in school, I have, ironically, also been told that I a... Read more

For university, I originally started off with Pre-Med as a focus, but then discovered that the school I graduated from had a Linguistics program. I dropped Pre-Med and entered into the program. My focus of study within the department was Computational Linguistics, simply known as math. I love the subject. I believe that math is a language rather than just a subject to be taught. There are ways to relate it grammar that allow for better comprehension and greater understanding. I tutored my ... Read more
