Adaptive Academics

"I have worked with a diverse population of students. I was a teacher in urban KCK for two years and then Spring Hill for two years. In the classroom, I taught 4th and 5th grade, but I've tutored students K-12. I've also helped students prepare for the ACT. Additionally, I am certified to teach students who have English as their Second Language (ESL) and middle school mathematics."

"I've been teaching in KCK for 24 years and taught grades 2-5 and technology. I pride myself on being able to find new and exciting ways to help students succeed. I have the belief that students are all different and unique and therefore instruction must meet the student where they are, not where we want them to be. I have worked with tutoring for many years with great success."

"I have been teaching in KCK for the last four years. I always knew teaching was my passion, and I love watching kids make connections and learn new things. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing the pride and happiness in their faces as they reach their potential and realize how smart and capable they are."

"I have been tutoring for a few years now and have always left a tutoring session knowing the student now has a full understanding of the concept we went over. I get to the bottom of  the topic the student is comfortable with and go upwards from there. I consider my specialty to be speed math and easy ways to solve math problems."

"I have tutored high school and college students in math and physics at area colleges and private high schools, and throughout local school districts. I place an emphasis on teaching in a way that is graspable and retainable, working with the particular student's own way of learning, asking the student lots of questions as we go to develop the ability to articulate knowledge, and building the student's own independent thinking and confidence. I love to teach and see that light bulb go on!"

"As an educator, I love to work with kids of all ages. I was a teacher and literacy coach for 13 years. Helping kids succeed while building their confidence, skills and understanding is what makes teaching a joy. I believe every child has the potential to experience the love of learning. My hope is to assist each child in reaching their goals and feeling good about themselves."

"I have worked with a variety of populations and age levels. I directed a JCPRD program for many years before transitioning to teaching 4th grade in the classroom. I love working one on one with students to pinpoint their strengths and points of growth. I am passionate about helping students find success through learning and finding their love of learning. I enjoy hands-on learning with manipulatives and encouraging students to problem solve."

"I have been teaching in Olathe School District for 24 years and have taught kindergarten, 3rd, 5th, and currently 6th grade social studies. I meet students where they are academically while developing the skills and understanding needed to grow in a particular area. I enjoy creating lessons based on the type of learner I’m working with, whether it is auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. Nothing is better than seeing a student’s confidence and enjoyment of learning increase."

"As a teacher and administrator of 18 years, I have worked with students in grades K-6 in all subject areas. I have taught in the elementary classroom, assisted teachers as a literacy coach, and worked as a special education teacher. I am passionate about helping students achieve their learning goals and celebrate their progress."

"I've been teaching math for over a decade and now work as an Embedded Systems Engineer. I think that math can sometimes be a tough subject - and a lot of the time the education system fails to equip students with critical information, and then students get really discouraged. I'm here to help fill in those gaps, thoroughly explain things in the students' learning style so that not only can they do math, they can see the world through the "math lens" so they can not only catch up, but slingshot forward."

"I am a seasoned high school math teacher with over 15 years of experience in tutoring mathematics to local high school and college students.  I firmly believe that each student is a unique individual, and my approach to teaching and tutoring reflects this belief.  I tailor my instruction and coaching to meet the specific needs and learning styles of each student. My goal is to empower every learner to reach their full mathematical potential and foster a lifelong love for the subject.  Additionally, I have also been actively tutoring students for both the ACT and SAT for over ten years."

"I have taught Middle School math for 20 years. I am currently teaching an Honors
Algebra and Honors Geometry course. The other part of my school day consists of working with 5th - 8th grade students as “push-in” math support. I love working with students of all ages. My experience also includes tutoring in Reading (all grades), Math (grades 4-Algebra 2). I also have tutored College Algebra and ACT Prep."
