About Brendan

I believe that every child can learn, and that every child has different learning needs. Watching lightbulbs ignite a child's brain is what drives me. It drove me to become a teacher, and it drives me still in guiding and teaching my own children. I have taught a variety of subjects in multiple contexts. I tutored as an undergrad at K-State, as a college graduate in Overland Park, as a graduate student at Harvard, and as a high school teacher in Boston, MA and Kansas City, MO. I have led test prep courses and watched my students reach their goal scores time and again. I have helped young students learn to read and write. I believe a tutor's skill is identifying a student's specific learning needs and implementing strategies to help them reach their learning goals. I have experience tutoring math, science, reading, writing and ACT/ SAT test prep. I look forward to meeting you and your student!
