I began learning German and French when I was 16 and in High School, then immediately continued my studies in College at University of Northern Colorado, where I am currently a double major in the two languages.

I have been playing guitar for seven years, and have taught lessons at times throughout. I have basic music theory training. I have also worked as a paraprofessional for students with disabilities for six summer school sessions, aiding them with academics and behavioral skills.

I taught emergency response classes for the American Red Cross before going back to college. I then taught English composition classes, and I tutored in the university writing center for two years. Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes. I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

I believe that the best way for students to learn is to discover it themselves, with some guidance from a knowledgeable teacher (me!). Socratic.

I hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado. This fellowship placed me in k-12 classrooms to aid in teaching sciene. During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology. I have experience in classroom setting, lab setting, and biology trips outside. My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps). I believe the best way to teach science is to m

I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses specifically in test prep. I am an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of that to

While earning my bachelor's degree, I worked in several tutoring programs assisting students with reading comprehension and writing composition skills. I taught grammar to small groups, read one-on-one with third graders and assisted junior high school students with their homework assignments. Though my degree is in fine art, I began my undergraduate career as an English major. In high school I took both AP English exams and I went on an honors trip to England to study British literature. Also as a high school senior I took sixth place at the state speech tournament with an oratory that I wrote. Even now as an aspiring children's book author/illustrator the written word still captivates me. I believe that in order to help a student you must first be able to connect with him/her. That could mean understanding a student’s background, researching the latest video games or playing softba

I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner. During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.

When I focused on my degree at the University of Northern Colorado, I found a love beyond writing, I fell in love with language, its morphology, and how powerful a simple punched statement can be in helping you persuade, inform, and move readers. There is strength in a good writer, and the greatest lesson I learned was that you are not born a great writer. We expect perfection the first time, and when it is not perfect we lose hope—and that is a fallacy. Good writing is hard work, revising, editing, and sets of eyes other than your own. During the last three years I have been helping students understand this in the classroom. I absolutely love working with kids. My strength is teaching secondary level students, and I believe as a teacher you must forge a connection to help a student struggling outside of his area of expertise. You establish trust by building relationships, letting them k

I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the past 29 years teaching these subjects to students grades K-12. The past 10 years I spent teaching high school students English, literature, credit recovery, writing and reading. I am an excellent reader and writer and accomplished at sharing these passions and skills with students. I believe education is the greatest tool a person can possess, and helping to provide students with a good education is the most positive and proactive way to make a difference in the evolution of our world. Literacy skills are crucial to the advancement of all learning. My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be clear

My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One observing any one of my classes could feel definitely "drawn in" if so desired. My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th

I am a recent graduate of Northern Arizona University with degrees in Anthropology and Religious Studies with Honors and Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0. I am also fairly fluent in Spanish; I took classes in both high school and at the university level, and spent a summer volunteering in Costa Rica in a Spanish-only village. My studies provided me with a solid education of many different cultures and traditions, and as a Teaching Assistant I needed to work with people of different backgrounds and lifestyles. I was there as a resource for students, and enjoy teaching and working with others. I am comfortable of working with people of all ages, but I especially enjoy teaching children. I am very interested in education; I believe it is one of the most powerful yet underestimated tools we can employ.
