Reading Comprehension Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Deer Trail, CO

As a tutor of student athletes at Indiana University, I tutored students from all walks of life. I began by tutoring Biology and Spanish but the need for tutors in English, Writing, Chemistry and Statistics soon arose and I stepped up to fill those positions. Using previous knowledge from AP classes in high school, as well as recent knowledge gained from my classes, I was able to successfully convey new information in easy to understand and applicable terms to these students. This past year I tutored high school math, English and Genetics. I have always enjoyed teaching others sharing my love of learning. I find it most effective to use a variety of methods to successfully teach information. Material is best learned when it can be easily understood by the student and has practical applications for everyday life. I am not the type of tutor to just hand out answers to problems. I guide

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

Teaching is a passion of mine and I look forward to working with you. Theee years were spent teaching abroad in South Korea. Which is where experience with ESL was gained. It was an experience that strengthened my ability to work with non-native and native English speakers and taught me many different methods of teaching materials. It is my belief that making learning and the material fun and understandable is the most important thing I can do. Once the experience of learning is fun, grades will rise as well. This means lots of discussion and hand on activities to help students learn necessary concepts. For English this often means reading material and writing prompts about subjects that

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 have gained an advanced level of French through my education at Boston University and through my work experience. As a French minor, I studied French language and literature from some of the best professors in the country. I became fluent in French through my work experience at La Voile Boston Brasserie. This restaurant allowed me to practice my French everyday with French people. I have both a strong grasp on the French language and also a passion for speaking and learning French. I believe I am a great educator because I am enthusiastic about teaching children and enjoy helping kids work out solutions to problems. I use positive reinforcement to teach children while showing them how the subject they are learning can be fun. I believe that by getting a child interested in the subject at hand, they will learn it much easier. I also think that speaking a foreign language is a nec

I believe that all children have the potential to learn in whatever capacity they are given as long as a connection has been made with the child. Teachers need to look at each student individually and be able to capitalize on their strengths and weaknesses, rather than mold the student into a one size fits all lesson. All it takes for teachers to see some level of success is for them to be patient with their students and remember that all students learn at their own pace. Teachers entered this profession because they care about children and want to help and it is that basic principle that guarantees a successful student. I have spent the majority of my career working with students who have struggled to maximize their potential either because of their economic/home life situation (SES)or their inability to make meaningful connections with their teachers. I make it a priority to make the c

I enjoy teaching and working with childrens. I remember of a handicapped student that I have tutored one year ago because he was late behind other students in his class. It was my first time to tutoring handicapped students. When his parents have called me to teach their son I didn't say no to them because I told myself that all children can learn but only in different ways. And I have started teaching him. During the first teaching I noticed he had really gaps and so I was more available, patient, easy going and considerate with him. And after two months already he has filled his gaps, and in third month we continued gradually. I am available to help your child find academic success. I'm graduate of two Master degree with honours, applied mathematics and computer science. Those both educations have enabled me to gain an strong understanding in many areas of math and science.
