American History Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Colorado Springs, CO

I have extensive experience working with students of all ages, from elementary school through junior college. As a parent volunteer, I tutored K-6 students in math and reading. As a Learning Center and Basic Skills instructor at Trinidad State Junior College, I taught classes in math and English, and I worked individually with students on a variety of subjects including study skills, spelling, history, math, and English. For the past several years, I have owned a small business that employed teenagers. I both developed and administered the training for these first-time employees. I have also taught dance to children and adults. I hold an inactive Texas Teaching Certificate with English and history endorsements, and I am in the process of becoming a certified teacher in Colorado. The best teachers (and tutors) are able to diagnose why a student is not understanding his schoolwork. Le

For 11 years that i have been in school i have excelled in the fields shown and have helped my friends and others succeed in those fields. Most of the kids that i have helped have passed there classes and have gone to excel in higher classes. i am only human so ill make mistakes and am always willing to see that and accept help. this builds a respect and allows me to greater help the student in question. i take a more relaxed route of teaching. i have found that if you sit there and point out faults and appear like you expect them to get it right on the first try it will turn the student away from you and cause them to hate the subject and ultimately fail. i take a more friendly route. talk about myself admit faults that i have when they appear. i try to become friends with the student in question and add fun with learning. if there is something specific that is needed extra attention t

I enjoy teaching and interacting with children of all ages. I truly believe that everyone is capable of learning, but a single approach cannot reach all children. I make myself available for students on an individual basis to help them ensure they are successful in their academic endeavors. I am patient, easy going and considerate of others' feelings. My ultimate goal is to provide the best possible learning experience for everyone. I firmly beleive there are different learning styles for each indivdual, but have had great success with teaching through actual, hands on, experiences. Included in that is constructive feedback and celebration of successes. I firmly believe that a single teacher who truly cares can make a world of difference in the life of a student. I am a walking example of such a case. As a graduate in both the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and M

I have worked with children in one capacity or another for over 20 years. I love to help children achieve their educational goals and to succeed in any way possible. I enjoy watching a child's face light up when they have accomplished something that has been a challenge for them. It is a joy for me to spread the gift of knowledge. All children can learn to full potential if given the attention and opportunities necessary.

Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

I believe one of my gratest strengths in the classroom was my connection to my studens. They were expected to do their best and to maintain appropriate classroom behavior. My students were respected and given every possible opportunity to achieve. I guided them and allowed them to find their voice in their writing and also helped them overcome some of the reading difficulties they may have encountered. With motivation, hard work, and a belief that they can succeed,my students were able to become lifelong learners. I have taught secondary Reading and Language Arts for the past 18 years at carmel Middle School in Harrison District 2. I also taught the same subects for 5 years at Harrison high School.I retired this year and find that I miss helping students achieve their full potential. My expertise is in reading, writing, and history.
