Elementary Phonics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Hartsel, CO

I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help. I worked at Moorpark College as an ESL and Writing Tutor, helping students discover ways to identify and clarify ideas, refine a topic, outline ideas, and develop the skills needed to w

I have experience working with both audio/visual learners and a kinesthetic/tactile learner. The kinesthetic/tactile learner had learning disabilities akin to ADD, but still did very well in the small group environment. I believe that children who want to learn will do so given the proper setting and sufficient time to succeed. I have very high patience for children who try hard and still struggle, but I do expect the student to give their best effort at each task. I earned a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio State University in 1984. My subjects of passion were math and science and I enjoy working with children who struggle in those areas. I have home schooled my son through the end of 12th grade and he was ready for college freshman classes at age 15. Starting in his second grade year, we were joined by a student who has learning disabilities. He also thrived in the tutorial tea

A life long love of learning has influenced me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and more recently, a Master’s degree in Human Relations with an emphasis in counseling. The completion of these degrees was accomplished around the responsibilities of being in the US Army but my determination and flexibility enabled me to eventually achieve my educational goals. My experience in the US Army also provided an excellent opportunity to interact with a very diverse group of people. I have mentored and trained people of different ages who had different learning styles. I believe learning should be fun regardless of one’s age and I will strive to make reading a fun as possible for each child I tutor. Reading for pleasure or to successfully complete a variety of assignments is very important to academic achievement and certainly enhances our personal lives. I believe all children can

I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation. I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially.

It is absolutely true that all students can learn, given the right circumstances. Not all children learn in the same way and follow the same path. A good teacher forms a relationship with her students and takes her cues from the student. I believe in active, hands on, relevant learning. I am a constructivist and believe that students build their own understanding when given the opportunity to do so. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to give them the tools and guide their work. If one path does not work, then we must choose another. The thrill and love of learning must never be stifled by rigidity. Let me open up new paths for your student! My Elementary teaching career spans three decades. I have taught students in grades pre-school through grade 5. The majority of my teaching years were spent with the younger students. I have earned National Board Certification as an Early Childhood

I have been studying in the scientific field for over 7 years at the college level and obtained pre-pharmacy status from a community college as well as an Associates of Applied Science Degree from the same community college majoring in Chemical Processing Technology. Also I have obtained a Bachelors of Science Degree in Chemistry from an accredited University. I have taken math courses up to and including differential equations (sometimes called Calculus 4) as well as many organic, inorganic and analytical chemistry courses with the labs for each of these subjects. I have enjoyed teaching my classmates everything from basic theories and concepts to how to use specific instrumentation. I enjoy teaching and spreading the knowledge that I have learned. Children of all ages have such a developing mind and it is a pleasure to be a role-model for them. I am humble and patient, trustworthy and

I received a BA in Psychology, cum laude, from Boston University. Previously, I attended Simmons College in Boston where I majored in Psychology. While a freshman at Simmons, I volunteered to supervise preschoolers at the first on site day care center in the United States (Stride Rite Shoe Factory). As a teacher’s aide at Meadowlark Home School, I taught severely mentally and emotionally handicapped (SIEBD/SLIC) adolescents. Daily activities incorporated both one-on-one and group experiences, a dance therapy program which I designed, and behavior modification procedures. As the Lead of the Children’s Department at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Littleton, CO, I utilized my expert knowledge of children’s literature to find the right book for each child. In addition, I instructed parents how to teach their children to read at home. It is my belief that all children can learn, ev
