Classes and Tutoring
Award Tutoring with Shawn Ward | KC Metro or Online
I am an experienced (10+ years) math and science tutor based out of the Kansas City area. I have an Electrical Engineering degree from Kansas State University, and I worked in the field for about 10 years. I started helping students out with their math and science needs, and I realized I found my passion! I have tutored students from elementary age to college age throughout the years. I am available during the morning and early afternoon hours for either in-person (Kansas City area) or online tutoring. I have helped out students with basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, chemistry, physics, statistics, and business courses. During my years, I have worked with a large number of schools throughout the Kansas City area and made a number of contacts due to my dedication to my students.

St. Athanasius and St. Catherine's Academy | Kansas City, MO
St. Athanasius and St. Catherine’s Academy is a classical, co-educational Catholic high school located in Kansas City, Missouri. The school implements the hybrid model by having students attend classes two days per week on Tuesday and Thursdays and have independent learning outside of the classroom. The school day begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. with daily mass as part of the day at noon. Students will experience a similar format to college with a two-day per week class schedule that incorporates high expectation for personal responsibility and independent learning. In addition, the hybrid model allows for a more flexible schedule, opportunities for a part-time job, more quality time with your family, and other hobbies.

Curriculum
- Beautiful Business Course – Online My name is Karin Tucker, and I am a homeschool mother of 5. I have developed a free online business course to help other homeschool families. My husband and I built two very successful businesses, and I wanted to pass on my knowledge to others. During this 45-day course, the student will learn about the beauty of business, God’s design for business, and the fundamentals to start their own business! The teacher will work alongside the student using the prompts/materials provided in the course. As a homeschool mother, I know the necessity of a well-written course. I also know the severe need for financial/business resources in school curriculums.
