"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 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!"

"I have worked with a wide variety of students in various capacities for over
20 years in both public schools and specialized schools. My main focus was children with special needs. I am able to pinpoint a child learns best, connects, and retains information which has led to successes with students in whom others did not see the potential. My heart has always been with the art of teaching in its purest form in order to help students reach their true potential and overcome any obstacle they may encounter. I hope to help you and your child do the same.

"I am a recent graduate of the University of Kansas, and am licensed to teach middle school science and high school chemistry. I have tutored both middle school and high school students focusing on math and science content areas. As an AVID tutor for Lawrence Public Schools, I tutor students in a wide variety of content areas as well as cover ACT prep curriculum. I tailor my teaching to match each student’s learning style, focusing on making concepts understandable and memorable."

“I am a retired Gifted Resource teacher with four grown children and seven grandchildren, moving from Wichita, Kansas to Overland Park four years ago.  I have been substituting in Blue Valley Elementary schools for the last two years. However, upon seeing the monumental mathematical progress and overall educational self-confidence two of my grandsons have made through the tutoring expertise of Adaptive Academics, my passion became ignited to make a real difference in helping students learn and succeed by one-on-one tutoring. And for a teacher, there is simply nothing like those sparks of true understanding, which can lead a student to a lifetime of confident learning!”

"I've worked in the education field my entire life and have classroom experience with all grades from elementary to high school. Tutoring for over five years and seeing the progress made from consistent, individual instruction has led me to my true passion. As a summer  school and substitute teacher, I'm knowledgeable in the curriculum of all subjects, but I most frequently tutor math and ELA. I've worked with special needs and have supported students as a learning coach for online school. Adapting to unique learning styles and embedding personal interests into the curriculum, ensures student engagement, confidence, and success!"

"I was a teacher in Dodge City, Kansas for 10 years where I taught both Biology and Chemistry. I moved to Overland Park and taught 7th grade Science for 2 years before taking on my current role where I prepare high school students to become teachers. I have been tutoring on the side for 3 years and I've tutored everything from elementary reading to high school Chemistry. I am also certified to teach students with English as their Second Language (ESOL). I am currently pursuing my doctorate with plans to graduate in the spring of 2026!"

"I have worked with a diverse population of students. I was a teacher in urban KCK for 4 years and then switched to Turner and have been here for the last 21 years. In the classroom, I taught 4th, 5th grade, 6th grade and Middle School and Advanced Math.  I've tutored students K-12.  Additionally, I am certified to teach students who have English as their Second Language (ESL) and middle school mathematics. I can work with students who need help learning skill in order to be successful at grade level, as well as enrich students to advance above grade level.”

"I recently moved to Kansas City after teaching ESOL in St. Louis and Cleveland for 5 years. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Elementary Education, and shortly after graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a Masters in Reading in Education. I am passionate about helping students grow in all areas academically, socially, and personally, so they feel confident and ready for the real world."

"I have been a High School Science teacher for the last 10 years. If it is a science class, I have taught it or tutored it. I love helping students break down complex scientific concepts into ideas that are understandable, engaging, and connected to the world around them.  I firmly believe that every student is capable of success when given the right support, encouragement, and tools. One of my favorite teaching strategies is building on what students already know and helping them connect that knowledge to new concepts. Learning becomes much more meaningful when students can see how the pieces fit together. My goal is not only to help students improve academically but also to develop the confidence, critical-thinking skills, and curiosity that will serve them long after our sessions are over."

"I am a Dental Hygiene student at Wichita State University with a minor in Psychology. I have always enjoyed helping students learn and grow, which has been influenced by my mom, who is a kindergarten teacher. Through her, along with the college-level elementary education courses I have taken, I have gained a strong understanding of different learning styles and ways to support students academically. I strive to create a positive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. I tailor my tutoring approach to each student’s individual needs to help make learning easier, more enjoyable, and successful."

"I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to my love of teaching. My original Bachelor of Science degree from Southwest Texas State University focused on Health Care Administration. While blessed with the privilege of staying home to focus on my family, I substitute taught while obtaining my Missouri Elementary Teacher Certification from Central Missouri State University. I spent her 2nd career and continue sharing my love of learning through supporting students of all ages individually and in small groups. I have classroom taught all levels of elementary as well as middle school but tutored with students of all ages including adults."

"I've always had a passion for STEM, and one of my passions is helping students build confidence in subjects that can sometimes feel overwhelming. I enjoy breaking difficult concepts into simple, understandable steps that help students truly learn the material. Instead of just memorizing what needs to be done, my students have come out with a proper understanding of the material I help them with. I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor my teaching style to each individual. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing into more confident learners. Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy reading, listening to music, staying active at the gym, and exploring new topics in science and mathematics. I look forward to helping you or your student achieve your academic goals!

"I am currently obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology, along with a minor in Business through the University of Kansas. Throughout my college career, I have been able to gain confidence in my skills and knowledge through tutoring sessions myself. Experiencing a positive learning environment firsthand encourages me to help others feeling the same way. Along with this, my volunteer experience with children and teenagers of all ages and backgrounds gives me the ability to adjust my teaching environment based on the student's needs."

""I am a senior at the University of Kansas majoring in Molecular Cellular and Developmental biology along with a minor in Nutrition. I love science and math, but I understand that it can be scary to learn at first. My goal for tutoring is to meet the student where they are at and work together to gain confidence in their work and abilities. I also hope to help students be more comfortable in general in school settings. Watching students have a “light bulb” moment in a topic or subject they have been working on is my favorite part of tutoring. Having the right support system can make a world of a difference for a student, and I am happy to be part of it!"
