I am a recent college graduate with a lifetime of experience in music, drama and dance. I have had teaching experience with all ages from ages 2-72 and love to share my passion with others. I have been the student, performer, director, choreographer and teacher. I love all aspects of the learning experience as I believe we can never be truly finished with our education. I learn just as much from my students as they do from me.

I enjoy working with children, and in one-on-one settings, I find it the most effective. I do demand alot from my students, especially considering the distractions and challenges children face these days. Emphasis on studying and school work remains my focus. I achieve that by a slow, deliberate teaching of methods that I hope the children find useful in the learning process. I focus on core fundamentals and critical thinking skills, applied to whatever subject I am helping with. Ultimately, the fundamental necessity is dedication, effort, and discipline on behalf of the student and myself to make this endeavor a success. My undergraduate degree in biochemistry provides a solid foudation in the sciences such as Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology. The reading and writing skills I learned during my course studies further supplemented my overall skill sets, and make me a well r

While my formal education lends itself most to teaching social studies--a BA in both Political Science and Latin American Studies--my experiences teaching languages and my background in Spanish (native speaker) and French (near-native speaker) have prepared me well to teach foreign languages and language arts (English), as well. My studies at Amherst college and my work in civil rights and the legal fields fine-tuned my writing and communication skills, and my ability to breakdown grammatical and structural constructions in writing and speaking have been honed by teaching English as a foreign language to both children and professionals. I love teaching because I love learning. I understand that people learn in different ways, and part of what I find most interesting as a teacher is to look at a problem from different perspectives to find the solution that will make the most sense to a

Having been raised by two teachers, education has always been an important aspect of my life. One of the most important aspects of education, I feel, is determining the most effective learning style for oneself and being able to study and process information using that method. I do not believe that there is a child that is "unteachable," rather I trust in the fact that once a child has the necessary skills to process information the way it makes sense to them, every child has the capability to learn. I strive to make learning fun and use tricks such as writing songs, drawing pictures, flashcards, rapping and many more to aide in the process of understanding, comprehension and retention. For as long as I can remember I have been tutoring students in various subjects. My tutoring experience started when I was still in elementary school and has yet to be interrupted. I had the privilege

As the daughter and sibling of educators, I have been teaching since I was 6 years old; I taught a 4-year old boy to write his name at an inner-city program. As a teenager I tutored a 9-year old girl in math. After graduating college I managed an adult learning center for a local non-profit organization. I currently substitute teach for K-12 in Boulder Valley schools and recently began substitute teaching a Composition course at a community college. Most significantly, however, I have developed unique approaches to reinforcing classroom concepts for my two children with special needs so they can be successful students in light of their non-traditional learning styles. My goal is to excite students about learning. I encourage my own children as well as those I teach in the classroom to focus first on finding at least one concept in each lesson that attracts them and about which they wo

My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen. I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep.

As a graduate from the University of Northern Colorado with my BA in Elementary Education (k-6) I have had much experience working with children and adolescence. Because of my IDLA major I have a well rounded education based around teaching all content areas (Literacy, Math, Science, and Social Studies). My specialty is English and/or Literacy which was the emphasis of my degree. Over the last two years I have tutored ESL students in literacy and math. I have a drive for helping others learn and I am constantly trying to excel my students to achieve to the highest of their ability. I believe that every student can reach success through hard work and dedication. I have a true passion for teaching children. It is because of this love for kids and teaching that I like to run a love and logic classroom where actions are met with consequences that will benefit every child throughout their chi

I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance. I am looking forward to establishing strong roots in this community. My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with childre

I love to mentor and advise students in the most advanced and current teachings in the field. I believe that everyone has something that motivates and inspires them. It is up to us as educators to find those motivations and cultivate them. I am patient, understanding, and always open to new ideas and lesson plans. I believe in consistency and perserverence. I am currently striving towards being a career educator. Throughout my professional career I have always been responsible for training and mentoring my clients and employees. I was a substitute teacher in Florida where I taught middle school and high school students.

Teaching has been an extremely rewarding career. My primary goal as a teacher is to help each child to experience the great feeling of success. I believe that success, big or small, promotes self confidence, which creates further successes. My teaching style is supportive and kind. I challenge my students to the extent that I believe they are capable. I am patient and believe in positive reinforcement as a teaching tool. I have been teaching dance to children and young adults for the last 10 years. However I pride myself on teaching my students more than the physical elements of dancing. The exercises, and "games" that I teach incorporate important memory and creative thinking skills. Beyond my dance major, I have a minor in psychology, and excellent grades in upper level w I have been teaching dance to children and young adults for the last 10 years.

I am patient and open to a variety of teaching and learning styles. I work by positively encouraging kids to want to learn and by finding what their "hot buttons" are to avoid instilling fear into them. When I teach kids, they actually want to learn and the results have been great! I am a bright, patient, and good teacher. I have been tutoring professionally and on a volunteer basis for many years. I am a business professional who has an MBA and an undergraduate degree in liberal arts. Both degrees are from top ranked institutions. I enjoy working with children!

Being a meticulous student at Colorado State University, I excelled in academics. During my nine semesters, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Literature, and Culture with a concentration in French, as well as Political Science. Helping others excel in these areas not only benefited the students but me as well, as it furthered my understanding of the material. As a student of languages, mainly French but also years of Spanish, I have become very educated in grammar especially, and have very much enjoyed proof-reading and editing research papers. Throughout my last three years at the university I have enjoyed offering my skills to students in French, English, and Political Science. As the oldest of seven children, I am very comfortable working with children and enjoy it very much. My favorite teacher was in third grade, and he made such an impression on me that fifteen years later I

I have always had an affinity for math and history. As a result, I went to Colorado State University to major in history, but I took a few math classes as well. I know how to do math up to Calculus 1. Last summer I tutored a girl going into the fourth grade. She came out of third grade not understanding any of the math taught, because the teacher believe that people should feel good, not actually learn the material. When she started fourth grade, she was at the forefront of her class in mathematical understanding. I am a very patient and kind hearted person. I am able to relate to teenagers and can get through to children. I find that as long as I have the students respect, then progress can be made. I do not come in demanding their respect or attempting to force their respect. I come in a friendly manner and I will conduct the course in that same manner. I don't have a problem
