More About This Tutor...

I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado. I have tutored and homeschooled statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and other mathematics topics, and homeschooled a complete spectrum of high school level topics.
I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go.

A Little Bit About Me...

First,I show my students I deeply care how they feel about learning. I help them identify their blocks to learning and success and help put them at ease. I know how to adapt my style to the particular age I am working with. I am very patient. I know proven strategies to help students master basic skills and more complex skills, using their style of learning. I will recognize pretty early on their zone of mastery, and capacity to cope, so they don't get too frustrated or too bored. I will use whatever modality I can find (creatively and safely) to help bring understanding. I am a cheerleader and am excited when students gain mastery of a topic that at first seemed overwhelming.
I have worked with children and youth pre-school - 12th grade since 1982. I have done some literacy instruction with adults. I have been recognized as an outstanding mentor to disadvantaged youth. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mentor can be that major difference in a student's life, and to that end I believe that tutoring is about more than just academic learning, but also about building relationships and learning essential life skills.
Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in L ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for critical thinking. I find engaged teaching to be a wonderful experience, especially one-on-one and in small groups. Students usually direct my teaching style because I am present mainly to facilitate learning and to act as a guide.
I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management. I can help with study skills, with master plans, and with reading com ... read more

Throughout my academic career as an undergraduate I strove for excellence in all that I did. I graduated Cum Laude and was one of five Women's Studies students in my class to be given an award of Academic Excellence. I earned two bachelors in English and Women's Studies and consider myself very well versed in both areas. Throughout my undergraduate career I was also heavily involved in extracurricular activities related to my majors. I was also involved with a volunteer program called Alternative Breaks in which I was given the opportunity to help educate peers as well as children.
I find myself to be a patient and encouraging teacher. I find myself comfortable teaching people of any age, be it children, peers, or those who are older than myself. I am aware of the fact that each person has a different learning style and am quite well at adapting my own learning and teaching style t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent avenue to explore contemporary topics that can then lead to essay topics. At the same time, song lyrics are poetry and can be studied as such.
As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing co ... read more

I have an interactive teaching style, focusing on accurate information and positive motivation. I will provide ample opportunity for students to learn though assignments, puzzles and real-life, practical examples. I’m naturally cheerful and encouraging with an optimistic outlook which makes practice not feel like work, although I expect students to work hard. My personal beliefs and life experices steer me in the direction to cultivate good moral character in all those around me.
I was a volunteer camp counselor responsible for youth ages 12-18, teaching, leading for a week at a time for the duration of 9-13 weeks for three summers. I served as registration coordinator, training a staff of at least 15 group leaders, overseeing all registration responsibilities including check-in/check-out, organizing meeting spaces for each group, scheduling staff assignments, keeping complete week ... read more
