Matt V - Colorado Springs, CO 80919 (6.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have ten years of experience working with youth. My involvement began in 1997 as a volunteer youth leader at a local high school. After a year I worked three summers as a youth counselor and program director at a youth camp. I received my B.S. in Mathematics in 2001 and have been teaching since. I have taught all math levels from Pre-Algebra through A.P. Calculus with great success. After two years of teaching I was promoted to math department chair of my past and current school. I have spent the last seven years tutoring off and on as well. I really enjoy teaching and the whole learning process intrigues me as well. I teach with urgency, through quick pacing and small incremental steps. I am very patient, giving of my time, and possess multiple ways of explaining material. Every child learns differently and if one method isn't successful, another should be tried. I have been

Lou M - Colorado Springs, CO 80906 (11.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience.
During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it. Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their deliver

George W - Colorado Springs, CO 80917 (12.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I have a passion for working with children of all ages. Having six children of my own is what drives me to make sure that my kids and my students receive the best teaching/tutoring possible. My number one priority is to discover your child's learning style and to incorporate that into my teaching. It is vital that every student understands how any material relates to everyday life. I am focused on training, mentoring, and preparing every student for the real world. I am creative, patient, encouraging, and disciplined. A student's success is measured by the success of the teacher, and it is my goal to ensure that all students receive life changing teaching. As a graduate of Colorado State University, I pursued my Mathematics degree, with a concentration in Secondary Education, with diligence. I earned my bachelor degree - BS in Mathematics. Also, during this time, I student taught f

Wendy D - Colorado Springs, CO 80923 (13.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Teaching is a career I have always been drawn to. I enjoy educating children and showing them various ways to create a solution. As a kindergarten, it is such an amazing feeling to teach a child to read for the first time. My main goal is to provide children with the best materials and strategies to obtain mastery in all content areas. I strongly believe in teaching with direct instruction; however, I am able and more than willing to differentiate my delivery of instruction and materials based upon each child's individual needs. I would define myself as detail-oriented, patient, kind, flexible, and warm-hearted. My mission is to inspire a love of education in every child despite any circumstances, which I will achieve by dedicating myself to excellence and mastery and keeping the standard of excellence set high. I graduated from UCCS with a BA in Geography and Environmental Studies with

Donovan M - Colorado Springs, CO 80916 (15 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.00/hr.
My career regularly involves conveying very complicated and technical ideas to people in as clear and simple a manner as possible. I take personal pride in doing what is necessary to present the subject matter in a way that the student will understand. I believe it's the responsibility of the teacher to find how to best reach the student. As a graduate in Political Science from the U.S. Naval Academy, I received an education focusing on critical thinking and writing, but also heavily steeped in math, science, and engineering as well. All graduates are required to take 5 semesters of math (through Calculus and Differential Equations), a year each of chemistry and physics, and 6 semesters of engineering classes regardless of major. During my Naval career, I served as a Training and Readiness officer as well as various instructor positions. For the past eight years my wife and I have h

Krystal B - Colorado Springs, CO 80906 (15.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have recently retired from the U.S. Army as a medic. During my service, I was frequently responsible for both formal and informal teaching and training. I learned to easily adapt to various learning styles, learning barriers, and researching subjects. While still in the service, I utilized my lunch breaks and evenings to further my education and emerged with my AA and completed Nurse Assistant training while still serving and my BS only one year later; two months after retiring. Currently, I am working on my MS in Health Promotion with a certificate in Disaster in Public Health. I am capable of producing a lesson and effectively teaching any subject. I am very adaptive. I accept challenges warmly. I love working with children; I teach at my church at the elementary level weekly. I also enjoy working with adults in a non-threatening way. I am a patient person and know that lear

Sergio N - Colorado Springs, CO 80916 (15.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I love teaching with children, they can be a better people than us, if we are a good teachers for them. Every child is a great person in the future and they have potential for learning. My goal is providing the best education. I believe if we are mentors for kids, they can learn under a constructivist education. I´ve been teaching since 10 years ago. I´ve been teaching from 1st grade to 12th grade. I was teaching stimulation with music at a special school for kids with disabilities, I was there 5 years, it was in Mexico. I worked with ADD, Autism, Asperger's, Dyslexia, and others. And my other experience was with normal kids teaching music.

Meagan K - Castle Rock, CO 80109 (25.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.50/hr.
I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

Mary Emily B - Parker, CO 80138 (34.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.50/hr.
I believe teaching is a very important profession and that our communities cannnot be strong with out a good education system. I believe that all children learn but each child has a different learning style and obsticles that may need to be overcome and special needs that need to be addressed. I am experienced with identifying needs, writing goals and curriculums and using many different types of teaching styles to reach the needs of each individual student. I strive to help any child, school district, and coumminity with the education of students to make a difference in the lives of children. Holding a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in special education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction with post gradute hours +15 and ten years teaching and tutoring has enabled me to gain an understanding in all areas of elementary education with specialities in reading.

David F - Highlands Ranch, CO 80126 (35.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
The keys to learning physics and mathematics consist of 1) understanding the general principles, 2) relating the principles to familar experiences and 3) extensive practice applying the principles to problems of increasing difficulty. With my extensive problem-solving experience, it is easy for me to develop interesting scenarios which students can relate to. Then I follow up with relavent problem sets to reinforce the concepts. I have 40 years of experience applying my scientific education and interest to both solving real world technical problems as an applied physicist and teaching mathematics, physics, computer science and computer programming. For 17 years at the Hewlett Packard Co, I enjoyed teaching technical and computer classes to customers and internal employees while providing on-demand analytical problem solving, debugging and troubleshooting skills to identify and evaluate c

William M - Canon City, CO 81212 (36.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
Some of my most rewarding times in life have been those when I help a student understand a concept that has bewildered him. I am usually able to find a unique way to make the student think about his learning. I try to teach to mastery. I don't believe efficient learning takes place in any discipline if one hasn't mastered some of the basic principles. I encourage exploration of alternative methods for problem solving. I enjoy a good reputation with students because they understand that I care that they actually master their own education. I am extremely patient and friendly. Yet, I am firm about making use of time. I continue to seek opportunities through teaching because I believe the student rewards are long lasting and life changing. As a teacher with the Colorado Department of Corrections for 28 years, I had the opportunity to teach several subjects at several levels. Through my

I love teaching, especially the dialog and relationship that can be developed in its context! I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning. I have been very fortunate to have had many in my own life that have made the same investment in me, which has, inturn, influenced me to teach in the same way. I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education.
