I have over 20 years as a private tutor in math, physics, and astronomy, from the grade-school to college level.

I have a B.S. in Physics from Syracuse University.

I have tutored high school and college students in math and physics at KU, UMKC, JCCC, area community colleges and private high schools, and throughout the Johnson and Jackson County school districts, volunteered as a math tutor for GED students in downtown KC, worked as a paraprofessional at Mission Valley Middle School in Leaw...
Reviews
Kurt is helping my daughter with Honors Geometry. She has had two lessons so far. We should have hired him 4 months ago! It has relieved so much stress for my daughter to have help with her homework and test prep. Kurt is knowledgeable and efficient with the time. He clearly has a lot of experience tutoring this age group. We are very pleased and will continue lessons with him!

Kurt has increased my confidence in my problem-solving skills. He is very good at explaining Algebra, and can answer any question quickly and fully. We cover a lot of ground every session.
- Kilderry K. from Overland Park, KS
My son said Kurt had a way of teaching without him even realizing it. My son felt comfortable and respected, which helped a ton with his fear of feeling stupid about math.

Physics, helping me understand circular motion. Kurt makes me feel a lot more confident with the subject. I was contemplating dropping the subject but now feel comfortable with it.

My teen has been struggling with Algebra 2 in high school. Kurt knows how to really explain the principals so that she understands, and Kurt makes sure she understands before he moves on to the next problem. By the time we left the 1 1/2 hour session, my teen understood the problems and knew what she was doing. Thanks, Kurt.
- Debbie M. from Overland Park, KS
He's been a God send for my son! Very grateful! My son says he explains it in a much better way than his professor. Glad we found him! We will definitely keep using him the rest of the semester and next year for College Alegbra.

Kurt helped my daughter prepare for an Algebra 2 test focusing on concepts that were tricky and reviewing rules of exponents and logs with her. He was very nice and patient and quickly caught onto an area where she needed further explanation and review. I would recommend him! Thank you!

Kurt gave my son confidence in his math sense and ability. He left with the skills needed to complete the assignment as well as an action plan to keep on track this week.
- Dana L. from Overland Park, KS
Kurt worked with my daughter in her college trigonometry class. He was great to work with and explained things in a way she could understand. He gave her confidence that she was bright and understood the concepts.
- Kim Y. from Grandview, MO
Kurt was available and willing to begin tutoring sessions in Physics immediately when I contacted him, and with only 5 weeks left in the first semester for my 11th grade daughter. With sessions of 60-90 minutes once a week, Kurt was able to make the semester's subject matter understandable, and my daughter's C in the class increased to a B in those 4-5 weeks. Her semester review exam grade was a very high B. My daughter finds Kurt positive and patient and extremely knowledgeable and professional. She still dislikes Physics, but is grateful that Kurt is her tutor.

My son was very pleased with Kurt. This was his first experience with a tutor, and he didn't know what to expect. He's looking forward to their next session and is feeling good about having a little help to stay on top of things.
- Robin B. from Leawood, KS
Kurt has been great helping my son gain confidence in his math skills. He's knowledgeable and patient, and customizes the lessons to work on weaknesses and maximize strengths. We've started with Algebra 2 this summer so my son will be ahead of the game when he starts his sophomore year in high school!
