Need a fun, compassionate, patient, and understanding tutor?

I tend to use the socratic method a lot to help my students arrive at their own conclusions and understanding of material, paired with some basic, interactive instruction when students do not already understand some of the material involved. Whenever possible, I prefer students teach me the material to some extent, when possible, as deeper understanding can often be reached through teaching others. In addition, I have a lot of experience teaching good stdy skills and habits, which usually factor into tutoring sessions in some way.
Well, throughout my life, I have worked with fellow students to foster better understanding of class material both in myself and in my classmates. In addition to informal, unpaid cooperation in mastering class material, I have also held positions tutoring both as a freelance tutor and as an hourly employee of the Academic Advancement Center, a Trio Pro ... read more

English Teacher/Tutor/TESOL

I taught emergency response classes for the American Red Cross before going back to college. I then taught English composition classes, and I tutored in the university writing center for two years. Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes.
I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

All students can learn.

I am a Love and Logic teacher; choice is the biggest driving force in my classroom. I give students the power to shape their learning and success by offering them choices, and using enforceable statements. My goal is that all students leave with a sense of accomplishment which has been shaped by them.
A licensed educator for 13 years, I have developed a deep understanding of students and what makes them motivated to learn. I appreciate the challenge of developing strategies to refocus student learning and make them more accountable and actively involved. No two students learn and develop skills in the same way and I embrace that by using tools to engage students where they are and then pushing them to discover where they can be. I have taught middle school social studies and literacy and enjoy the complexity and creativity of middle schoolers.

I have 2+ years tutoring experience in all junior high and high school subjects, as well as 1 year teaching experience in literature. I am very interested in learning as well as teaching. I believe that the best way for students to learn is to discover it themselves, with some guidance from a knowledgeable teacher (me!).
Socratic.

I've taught English in India to predominantly Tamil speaking children grades first through sixth. I was also teaching mathematics and science for a semester. I have a lot of experience in the arts. I've done children's theater and worked with high school students in oral interp. I've acted in college theatre productions, and also had the chance to direct, stage manage, and work with stage production on multiple shows. I went to college for two years for theatre and a year for art. I have basic drawing and painting experience, as well as my own mixed media work that I have continued after leaving school. In my spare time I like to read about sustainable farming, natural herbs and their health benefits, social activism, religion, and culture.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that in order to help a student you must first be able to connect with him/her. That could mean understanding a student’s background, researching the latest video games or playing softball after class. For example, several of the girls I worked with at the JEI Learning Center, spoke very little English. Often they got frustrated and just sort of shut down -- stopped responding. At first I tried to have them draw pictures but when that didn't work, I asked them to show me something from home. They folded cranes and strawberries out of the paper that I gave them. Though the exercise didn't help them understand verb tense, it did help build trust between us. After that, when they felt insecure or confused, I was less intimidating.
While earning my bachelor's degree, I worked in several tutoring programs assisting students with reading comprehension and writing composition sk ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of that to help the student.
I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses spe ... read more

As a University of Colorado graduate, I gained experience writing argumentative essays objectively about different cultures of the world. Writing these essays brought on my desire to travel around the world, learning first hand how other cultures live and work in their society. Teaching English abroad became the way to feed my curiosity. I have had numerous experiences teaching English locally and abroad. In the past three years I have taught in Japan, Korea, and Colorado to students ranging from different ages and abilities. Part of my job was to gauge which level was appropriate for the students to start in the English program as well as to make sure they were following the proper study rhythm to achieve their language goals.
Teaching has become a major part of my life. I have taught mostly university students and adults but like teaching children as well. I believe that teach ... read more

More About This Tutor...

All throughout my educational career I have learned best through observation. I typically like to solve one problem for the student, allow them to observe, and then work through another problem with them. I am very patient and believe the students all have the capabilities to do well in whatever the subject field, and the tutor is merely there to guide them through. I believe that by allowing them to observe and then slowly letting the student do more and more of the work, it teaches confidence and the value of persistence. Ultimately, I believe that the tutor helps the student to realize their own potential and abilities.
I began tutoring Spanish in high school and have done it off and on since. I studied abroad in Spain for a semester and continue to work on my Spanish skills independently, and am very proficient in reading and writing Spanish. I have also tutored at Putnam Eleme ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For seven years, I have been involved in voluntary tutoring as well as professional tutoring and teaching. I earned my BA in English in 2008, and I am currently earning my Teaching Certificate and MA in English Education. I have worked with middle school, high school, and college students as a teacher and a private tutor. I worked as a tutor in the University of Northern Colorado Writing Center and received outstanding reviews from my clients and well as the satisfaction of seeing measurable improvement in their writing skills and critical thinking abilities. As a teacher, I held personal conferences, and I believe more individual progress was made during the one-on-one sessions than could ever have been achieved in the classroom.
I believe that learning is a very individual process and that teaching should be tailored to suit each learner's needs. My approach to tutoring has alway ... read more

My teaching style reflects my personality and that is comfortable and confident. Peoples' minds are most open to learning when they are comfortable with their situation, surroundings, and the people they are interacting with. Being confident in yourself will lead to confidence in your students.
As a lifelong learner I have a unique perspective on how difficulties inside and outside of school can effect learning. I earned by B.S. in Business when I was 31 years old and I am now in the process of earning my Masters Degree. During this time I have aquired the skills needed to become succesful in learning and I am eager to share these skills with others. My ultimate goal is to instruct college classes to help others make thier stars shine.

A Little Bit About Me...

Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success with education.
Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As each student is unique, my teaching style is eclectic and tailored to the individual student as to how they best learn. Having a degree in Psychology gives me the unique opportunity to understand the individual, present them with techniques that promote better study habits, and increase their retention. I have dealt with situations of dyslexia, test anxiety, panic attacks, and challenging home/lifestyle situations, and have met with those challenges with success. As part of my continuing education I have taken a graduate class in Meta Cognition which is all about learning, learning styles, and how to create the best environments.
