Teacher Cert Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Conifer, CO

I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially. I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation.

I love developing and fostering a positive, trusting relationship with my student. By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs. I firmly believe that a teacher must be both flexible and intuitive. Whether I am teaching through discovery or through direct instruction, I continually assess and respond to my student's level of understanding in learning the new material. It is through this dynamic learning environment that I am able to make math both accessible and rewarding. I thrive on the "Ah ha!" moments that build my student's confidence. Extremely driven to achieve academically, I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While completing my coursework, I gained real world experience applying high level mathematics as a research a

My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that they can do well. I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artwork

I believe that it is the teacher's job to discover the true learning style of their students and when we do it is like unlocking a treasure chest of gold, so to speak. I enjoy teaching all the subjects in school and I enjoy the challenge of teaching children with learning disabilities and or emotional disabilities. I like to differentiate my instruction so that all students can access the curriculum and I keep track of my performance through regular assessments and using the RTI (Response to Intervention) process. I know how to teach reading and writing effectively studying under Dr. Elaine Cheesman from U.C.C.S. Also, I am able to teach math effectively for grades 5-8 with my combined experience and the courses I have participated in.

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 regarding course expectations. Developing specific strategies and changing with challenges that arise is essential. I am kind, patient and creative, have high expectations of myself and others, and believe that all people can learn. A key to meeting the needs of students is to have healthy and professional boundaries while creating good relationships; one of my greatest strengths is relating to students on a personal level and then tailoring the learning to this real person. I look forward to being involved with people who choose to learn. 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
