Carrie R. - Loveland, CO 80538 (38.2 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $40.00/hr.
When I was in high school I had a lot of anxiety about math. I went back to college late in life and I was terrified that I would have to take a few math courses to graduate. It wasn't long before math was my favorite class and I changed my major. When I was in school I helped a lot of my classmates with calculus. After I graduated I got a job as a tutor working with high school students on preparation for college entrance exams and mathematics. I found that to be very rewarding.

Carie C - Estes Park, CO 80517 (21.8 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $35.50/hr.
During the last three years of my undergraduate college career, I was a Mathematics tutor for student athletes. Although the courses covered while tutoring ranged from basic math to calculus, I am more comfotable tutoring algebra and geometry. I earned my BA with a double major in Mathematics and Russian in just four years. After college, I helped my sister and step-sister with their math and math-related physcis problems. During my three years of formal tutoring, I was able to change my tutoring styles to fit the needs of the student. Everyone learns differently and it is important to realize and adjust my tutoring accordingly.

Andy P - Boston, MA 02125 (24.2 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I love to teach people. However, I prefer to teach older students, such as high school and college kids, especially in math because they are often actually interested in the subject as apposed to completing their basic requirements. I am usually a very laid back teacher but can be very strict when the situation requires it. As a mechanical engineer I have been doing applied calculus and physics since I started school. As an undergraduate I was a peer mentor to the freshman engineers. We taught the students to juggle both figuratively and literally. It was especially rewarding because I had been in their situation only a few years before.
On my breaks from school I often tutored my best friends little brother in Algebra. I can honestly say that I taught him a semester worth of algebra (twice) in only a few days.
I also mentored undergraduates while working for the NSF funded Cente

Nicholas H - Longmont, CO 80503 (32.6 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $57.00/hr.
I have seven years of experience sharing my passion for mathematics, science and learning with students. I taught students with a spectrum of backgrounds, from English language learners to undergraduates. Though my degree is in Biology and I began my career teaching science, I have been teaching math for the last four years. I am recognized as a highly qualified in Math and Science by Colorado's standards for non-licensed teachers. I enjoy working with students of any ability in math, chemistry, physics, and biology. I enjoy having conversations with my students, asking them questions, actively engaged in assessing how well they understand the concepts. This allows me to best serve them a learners in the present, as well as to anticipate where difficulty might arise in the future. This informal, conversational approach works magnificently for very young students, older students and colle

Carolyn S - Boulder, CO 80304 (34.6 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I am going to be a senior in college studying Civil Engineering, and am currently taking some time off to gain work and travel experience. I just returned from a year long trip around Australia and New Zealand, and this only confirmed my love of travel and exploration.
I started tutoring in High School, as part of our "Link Leader" program. After my junior year in High School, I spent 8 weeks living in Nicaragua with a host family. I became involved in many daily activities, including helping my host sisters with their homework in the evenings. I also worked to develop "Charlas", or presentations in the local schools on subjects like hygiene and health.
I continued tutoring in College, mostly Uni-level students in Math. I enjoy having the freedom to create innovative and interesting ways of presenting material. I believe the student I am working with is the most important part of tea

Gretchen R - Berthoud, CO 80513 (34.9 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have a love of creative puzzle solving and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for learning about this world and things beyond with children. As a Montessori teacher, I focus on following a child’s interests in the learning process and use hands on, concrete materials to teach abstract concepts especially in math. I believe that a child should truly understand rather than just parrot a process. I am a former aerospace engineer and pilot turned teacher. I recently completed Montessori teacher training and am credentialed to teach elementary students ages 6 to 12. I have been a Girl Scout leader and a Destination Imagination coach where my team of 6th grade students participated in the Global Finals in Knoxville, TN. I have also worked with the summer school program at the Tree Haven Institute on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Shane M - Boulder, CO 80301 (35.1 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $38.50/hr.
As both a teacher and a tutor, I have found several things to be important to a successful educator. First is engagement. I find it necessary to engage the student and involve them in the lesson. I've found that even something as simple as using props to illustrate a point helps the student understand the material better, but also be more interested in learning. Secondly, I've found that flexibility is also important. I understand that all students learn differently, and it is imperative that the teacher learns to adapt to each student's style, strengths, and weaknesses. I have an extensive math and science-backed education, including two BS degrees and an MS as well. Not only have I excelled my entire academic career, but I am a great communicator and teacher. I have taught everything from Physics to undergrad students to English as a Second Language to students in Korea. I have

Noah C - Boulder, CO 80302 (35.1 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I teach with passion and enjoyment, which has always proved conducive to the learning process. I, myself, have always enjoyed being a student, and realized what qualities in teachers I found most effective. Patience, competency, articulation and good-natured humor go a very long way in education and I believe I possess those traits. I have worked with mainstream students, Special Education students, and Deaf students in a variety of educator roles from straight tutoring to camp counseling. Through these experiences, I have realized that a teacher must have flexibility and creativity in how they present information, as everyone has a different learning style. The responsibility lies with the educator to find that style and help the student reach his/her highest potential, and I feel confident in my ability to do so. In all my endeavors I strive for variety. My collegiate career at U

Alissa P - Boulder, CO 80302 (35.4 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I graduated this spring with honors from Carleton College. For my senior thesis in Math, three of my colleagues and I designed a Challenge Math curriculum for fifth grade students. Together we compiled our lessons into a book, and once a week each we taught a small group of students. When I moved to Boulder this summer, I began tutoring CU students, adults taking online courses, and high school students. I also have experience tutoring for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. My teaching style depends on the student. Some students need me to explain the subject material to them rather than read it from the book, while other students benefit most if they work through a problem and then ask me a question when they get stuck. Though regardless of the student, I always ask questions as we go, because I know that students learn best when they engage with the material.

Jared A - Boulder, CO 80302 (35.5 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I have worked as a tutor throughout my undergraduate career and also for a part of my high school career as well (5 years in all). My tutor experience is primarily in math and chemistry, but I also have experience in other science courses (biology & physics), English and reading, and also in general study habits and study skills. I know what it takes to succeed in school, and (more importantly) I know how to help others succeed in school, too! I have tutored groups as large as 8 and also in a one-on-one context at students' homes. Please see my resume (available upon request) for additional details about my experience and qualifications. An effective tutor is one who is able to help the student identify their strengths and weakness and then work with the student to increase their understanding, thereby reinforcing their strong points and building strength on weak points.

Susan E - Boulder, CO 80302 (35.5 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $32.50/hr.
Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite varied, and I have experience writing scientific papers, laboratory reports, research papers, and essays. Last fall, I taught an English class to adults in Mahahual, Mexico where I was volunteering. I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the subje

Cole R - Boulder, CO 80303 (36.6 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I've recently tutored math and general science for UpwardBound, a program designed to inspire and give the tools necessary to under-privileged high school students to become first generation college students. Throughout my study of math and physics, I've found that most people that are unable to do these subjects are limited by their own phobias and that if they are simply explained in the right way anyone can feel comfortable with frightening subjects such as math and physics. In teaching math and physics I find that most student's heads start to spin when looking at numbers, so I do my best to use analogies to describe a mathematical process, then once a student feels comfortable with the analogy they can apply this analogy to solve problems with numbers. Again stemming from overcoming phobias of math or physics being the most important step in learning, I try to make the complicated a

Andrew M - Boulder, CO 80305 (36.6 mi) - Trigonometry Tutor - $50.00/hr.
I strongly believe that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is capable of learning any level of science and mathematics. The key to teaching science and mathematics is to focus on the student's individual strengths and learning style. I am good at approaching a subject from different angles to find one that is most effective for each student. I have a great deal of patience, a positive, easy-going attitude, and a genuine enthusiasm for science and math that is always evident in my teaching. I am passionate about helping people learn and I am ready to work with each student's individual needs to deliver the best educational experience possible. I graduated Cum Laude from University of Rochester with a BS in Physics and a BA in Mathematics. While an undergraduate at UR, I earned five semesters of teaching experience through the Teaching Internship program with the Physics Department. As a tea
