PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Denver, CO

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores. I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material. I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds.

I love working with all children. I believe that each child has an individualized way of learning and it is up to me to assist the family in creating a learning session tailored to best meet his or her learning style. I am a firm believer in patience and understanding while teaching. I currently am working with children within the City of Denver. I am responsible for communicating with numerous community agencies, writing court reports, and testifying in court cases. I am an honors student and have excellent communication, written, and verbal skills. My strongest subjects are English and History.

As a child of a university professor and preschool director, education has always been a focal point of my life. I began teaching and tutoring during college, both in religious and secular settings. I have taught music, Hebrew and Judaic Studies to 3rd, 6th, and 9th graders. I also spent several months tutoring high school students in math, science, English and history. I strongly believe that the key to success in teaching is flexibility. Each and every student has a different style of learning and the successful teacher must be able to adapt to those styles. I believe that it is important to be patient and to meet students where they are. Students must be given constant positive feedback and motivation. When students know that I care about their education, they care as well.

To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to my students, and then prepare a complete lesson plan including clear goals and a concise agenda for day's topic,which will be shared with the students at the start of the lesson. During the next segment, I present and explain the chosen topic in enough detail to provide a foundation for the class to then be able to engage in a variety of interactive,skill mastery activites, designed to further clarify the subject in as many different ways as are necessary to meet the various learning styles and needs of all the students present. I have been teaching in both classroomas well as one-on-one settings here in the US as well as Europe and South East Asia for over 20 years. My students have been of all abilities and

As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certification to teach biology and science. I have taught and tutored students with emotional and learning disorders in all subjects, all grades. I am a creative and patient learner, which informs my teaching style. I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original

I think learning should be fun. If a student doesn't enjoy what she is doing, she won't likely attain mastery of the discipline. Moreover, I think students learn best by doing as opposed to being told what to do (i.e. practice as opposed to lecture and explanation). This means that I leave a lot of space for students to try things without fear of making mistakes. Evaluation (especially critical evaluation) is an important element in the later learning process, but initially the priorities should be placed upon fun, experimentation, praise, and lots and lots of practice. As a graduate student, I worked as a tutor in the campus Writing Center. Later, just before graduating, I taught Writing, ESL and GED at the Denver County Jail. Since completing my degree, I became a Writing and Critical Thinking Professor for two separate Universities (Metro State College and Devry University), where I'v

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. 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.

As a Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major at Emory University, a heavy science course load was complemented with a liberal arts education. This well-rounded education equipped me with the tools to tutor students in everything from organic chemistry to proofreading papers. After graduating from school I secured a job as a kids ski instructor where I was charged with the task of educating the next generation of skiers. My extraordinary return rates indicate that I am a trustworthy and proficient teacher. I look forward to using my teaching skills and academic background to help others get the most out of their Chemistry, Biology, Math, and English courses. A good teacher is able to recognize strengths and weaknesses in his students and create an approach that utilizes the strengths to improve the weaknesses. For instance, if somebody is having trouble grasping qualitative co

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BS in Biolgoy and a minor in Chemistry. While there I spent time tutoring science, mathematics, English and composition to highschool and college level students on an informal basis. I also spent a semester in Australia studying biology in 2001, and two weeks in Florida teaching highschool students Marine Biology in 2003. I am a well experienced teacher, with extensive roles in tutoring and other areas. I communicate well with people and especially enjoy working with growing young minds in encouraging and furthering their studies and, ultimately, their personal goals. I am a patient teacher, who believes in a variety of learning styles and abilities. Because of my extensive experience, I will help your child find their best learning strategies and teach them to harness their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I am easy-going, enthu

I am a very hands on teacher at first. I feel it is necessary to provide someone the tools to be able to succeed on their own. I am extremely patient, and as a person who grew up with a learning disability, I have come up with different links and techniques to process information and make it more fun at times as well. I graduated from the University of Denver with a dual degree in Sociology and French. During my time in college I studied abroad both in France and in Ireland. I studied french literature extensively while abroad. I taught English for a summer in the French Alps as well. Though I have never been an official tutor, I have three brothers and tons of friends that Ihave helped with their studies.

While in highschool, I was approached by several of my Advanced Placement teachers to assist and tutor various Elementary and Middle School children in the district. I continued with these tutoring sessions throughout the remainder of my highschool education, having 3-4 students at one time, focusing on subjects such as History/Social Sciences, English, Math (Algebra and Geometry) and Science (Botany, Anatomy, Biology, and Chemistry.) Once I graduated and started my college education, I continued tutoring, participating as a tutor through school-led tutoring sessions. These sessions had 6-7 students, and we met together as a group and focused mainly on the lessons/courses of the day. This was a unique experience, as I was tutoring in course work that I myself was currently learning at the same time. Since graduation from college, I have continued tutoring on an informal basis.
