Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Glenrock, WY

I taught children and young adults for 15 years in the areas of secondary language arts, AP English, and journalism. I have my bachelor's degree in secondary English, Drama, and Journalism, and my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an Emphasis of Creative Arts in Learning. While I excelled in the classroom with 32+ students, I relished my opportunities to work one-on-one with students, helping them to realize their talents and weaknesses and capitalize on both. I like the idea of being a "teacher without walls," working with students who want to learn real-life application of all the skills involved with the English language. Students learn best when they are able to utilize their talents and learn through their strengths, while also learning to recognize and deal with weaknesses. Learning that takes place with total engagement of the body, mind, and spirit will provide n

I enjoy working with struggling learners. I believe that using brain research and knowing learning styles enables me to support students in differential instructions. I believe that not all students are alike and and instruction should not be one size fits all. I want to make students life long learners and build a strong foundation from learning. I have a bachelor degrees in elementary education and a master in special education, which allows me the ability to with students struggling in the areas of reading and math. I am able to collect data and progress monitor progress. I have learned to build on students learning styles and to promote differential learning. During the last three years I have worked one on one with students to increase their functional reading and math skills.

I love seeing children learn and grow. My teaching style is a whole, part, whole approach. I teach the abstract concept and then the practical application. After the application is learned I relate it back to the abstract concept and alternate applications. I encourage mistakes because they are a valuable source of knowledge and learning. I don’t criticize, but am very encouraging and open to the experiences of the pupil in teaching the material. I believe all people are capable of learning and succeeding. My tutoring experience includes helping my peers at the University of Wyoming and duties of training petty officer in the US Navy. At UW, I tutored physics, math, and basic engineering. While getting my BS in Mechanical Engineering, I gained an extensive knowledge of the principles and practice of mathematics. I was the training petty officer both at boot camp and on my ship, FFG43.

It seems that ever since I can remember I have been a person that people go to for help. At a young age I would be place with students that were struggling . I feel that this began my career path to becoming a teacher. When I attended Jr College I worked as a tutor for those students that struggled in math. During my education to become a teacher I started working at a group home facility for adolescents. Inevitably , they were usually behind in their studies at school. It was part of my job to help them in their day to day lives and studies. Whereas I helped the students in all area I feel that my strongest areas were Science and Math. As an educator I love to see "light bulb" moments, that moment where a student "gets it". The look on their face is priceless. I feel that in order to see these moments one has to understand that each student does not learn the same. Some can s

As a graduate from one of the top Liberal Arts programs in the country, I have a well-rounded education founded in the comprehensive tools of thought - logic, reason, and an understanding of first principles. I have discovered that this education enables me to learn new skills with a ease and thoroughness; in addition, it enables me to teach others by helping them learn the first principles of the knowledge in their subject, which is a learning by induction, in addition to deduction. I have taught for one year in the following subjects: English, Latin & Art History (10th grade), History, Reading and Writing (4th grade). In addition, I have taught independent Latin courses for beginners and tutored in Latin, Reading and Creative Writing. My teaching style becomes the student's learning style, unique with each different student. I have attended three years of training with the Learning Suc
