GRE Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Agate, CO

I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high

I recently completed two years of teaching Physical Science in a secondary school in Namibia as a Peace Corps volunteer. Prior to that I earned a BS in Computer Science which included a mathematics minor and courses in physics and chemistry. I tutored throughout my time in the Peace Corps, my undergraduate studies and my high school years. As a classroom teacher I quickly learned to engage each student individually. I prefer tutoring because I can tailor my instruction to a specific student. Children have different learning styles so it is my responsibility as the instructor to adapt lessons to maximize learning for each child. Ideally I am able to guide a student to realize concepts in their own terms rather then dictate facts to them.

Having been a teacher for the past seven years, I am very much aware of the challenges both students and educators face in finding effective teaching methods and resources. It depends on the subject and, more importantly, on the student's individual learning style. As a composition instructor at CSU, I emphasized clarity of expression, logical argumentation, and critical thinking. I considered it my mission to instill my students with the gravity of George Orwell's famous maxim: "If you cannot write well, you cannot think well, and if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you." Later, as an ESL teacher/trainer, I relied on the communicative approach to language acquisition, emphasizing realistic use of the target language and inductive learning rather than lecturing. Finally, I believe students learn best when they are interested in the topic and understand its rel
