My strengths lie in verbal expression, although I have a background in science (especially biology) as well.

I love standardized tests. It might sound weird, but they're usually straightforward, you can sit with them for hours, and, most importantly, you CAN get better at them through practice. That's what I hope to help you do as you prepare for the LSAT, SAT, ACT or any other subject. I also have a blast editing essays, so make sure to use all of these services to their fullest potential!

...curriculum. I worked with Kindergarten through 12th grade in inner-city Kansas City, Missouri as an Instructional Coach. This gave me the ability to work with every type of learner and different curricula at every grade level assessing, teaching, reassessing, and working toward goals with the student and their teachers. That helped me to become a much better instructor that can understand and assess children where they are. I take pride in my work and will...

...the Lawrence area, working together towards a goal makes it all the better. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Lawrence in 2013 for grad school, and I love it here. It's a pretty small town, so we've probably crossed paths at some point at the farmers market, at the monthly Free State Story Slam, or on an outdoor basketball court. And I hope we can make it work so that we'll be able...

I also have some experience tutoring students of different age groups and levels of education. While I can tutor a broad range...

These are two subjects I am personally very interested in and have had success passing on my excitement to students. I also enjoy preparing students for test prep (ACT) and elementary and middle school-age students. My approach to teaching is to understand the student as an individual. I like to understand the student's strengths and weaknesses and work from there to...

I attribute much of my success largely to my writing skills, especially my outlining and revising strategies. I have also done very well in my standardized tests, including a 34 on my ACT, a 168 on my LSAT, and very good scores on my AP exams (three 4's and two 5's). My...

I have also enjoyed my organic chemistry courses in university and am open to working with students in this subject matter. As a college student, and speaking from high school experience, I can relate to students when a subject topic does not make sense and because of this, I hope to provide an enjoyable tutoring experience that emphasizes learning the "why" of...

...why many students struggle in other areas as well - they misuse their working memory! Our brains work by 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....

...about helping students who are planning on entering law school with improving their LSAT performance. I believe that with any standardized test, the key is to eliminate the fear factor by prepping for the unknown. Through practice and learning key techniques, I work with students to replace that fear with a strong belief in their own preparedness. When I am not working, I am a voracious reader, a fisherman, and a bit of a movie...
