I tutored for one year at Garden City Community College in College Algebra, English, and History. I attended 15 hours of tutor training. I also have worked with children who have severe emotional disturbance in learning social and cognitive skills, as well as improving their self-confidence levels.
My teaching style is to listen to what the person needs help with, and then to ask them what they already know about the subject. Next, I will show him or her to solve the problem, then ask him or her to try it himself or herself. If he or she has any questions, I will answer them. However, I think that it is best for the person to learn how to solve the problems with assistance from myself, but not to do all the work myself. Ultimately, I want the person to rely on his or her own knowledge in order to become more independent; I am only there to encourage and make any needed correctio ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Carried by a love and facility for the English language, I received a B.A. in the subject from the College of the Holy Cross, and a M.A. from Georgetown University. In these rigorous programs, I learned the skills of critical reading and writing. I have used these skills as a publications assistant, a position in which I wrote and edited newsletters and magazines for a financial association. For the last eight years, I have written and edited for TrafficEast, a general interest magazine based in New York. Through the years of my own writing, and editing the work of others, I have learned how to help others communicate to the best of their ability.
My favorite English teacher in college affected me because he focused on my individual strengths and interests, instead of giving cookie cutter instruction. I believe this is essential in teaching, for every student learns in his own ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching kids. Kids absorb new things like a sponge and often need things taught in a variety of ways in order to fully comprehend a subject. Regarding math, I use real-world examples to show how a particular concept is important. Then, I show the method to solve the problem. Next, I have the student teach me how to solve the problem. Finally, I have the student do practice problems in order to master the material. Practice indeed makes perfect. I hold students accountable for completed homework. In class, I make constant connections with the material to the student's passion or personal interest. I constantly ask questions. I am patient, energetic and thrive on seeing progress in my student's academics. I enjoy biking and hiking.
I am an exceptional math/English tutor. I've earned a bachelor degree in Accounting from Santa Clara University. I have three years professional ... read more

My degree in English served me well in my two periods of teaching in South Korea and Chile. In the former, I taught young children through high school age English in private companies in and around the greater Seoul area. In Chile, I mostly taught adults at the corporate executive level, but also did some tutoring of younger children. In my position as 1 to 1 facilitator currently, I work on a wide plethora of topics with my student, such as math, geography, reading, writing and computer skills. I have also worked at Laradon Hall, an alternative school for dual-diagnosis and highly behavioral children, for the better part of two years.
I have learned patience and understanding in my trips abroad as well as my time spent with the developmentally disabled here in Colorado. My technique mostly stems from understanding how the student learns and then taking the time to structure less ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My educational philosophy is strongly influenced by Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. I approach teaching from that perspective, incorporating a variety of disciplines and media to build on a student's strengths, to have fun while learning, and to challenge areas (building new skills) where a student can benefit. I volunteered at Howard Gardner's Project Zero at Harvard to understand how to evaluate learning through qualitative and quantitative measurements. Each student brings "genius" to learning, and our collaboration together would be to creatively build and strengthen from that place of genius.
My teaching experience includes traditional classroom single-discipline settings, as well as non-traditional field work, with students Pre-K to Secondary. I have lead (wildlife and water) research projects with students and teachers, and have participated on research ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From the outset I strive to create an environment of mutual respect and fun. I really enjoy tutoring because it's collaborative: both the teacher and the student learn from the experience. My patience and unhurried ear go far in encouraging a writer’s creative process. I focus on expression, the bond between quality of writing and quality of thought, the structure of a good argument, and how the efficacy of communication involves precision at the levels of vocabulary and syntax, sentence and paragraph.
I just finished my Ph.D. in French language and literature from Emory University. I taught for seven years in graduate school, including a beginning writing class. During a previous stint at graduate school at the University of Colorado I spent two years grading undergraduate papers and helping the students with their writing. Other tutoring opportunities occurred when I worked at th ... read more

After receiving my BA degree I taught elementary school while also obtaining an MA degree in English. I have always been a writer and have published poetry and stories. I later received an MA degree in Counseling and for many years trained and supervised MA level student counseling interns for a non-profit agency. I read and critiqued many student papers.

I believe that everything is interconnected, much like a spider web, and that if you can connect information to what interests a person, than learning can become easy, and fun, and more importantly, less stressful and more meaningful. When information is difficult to understand, it is not the fault of the student, in my opinion; it is, if any fault at all, the fault of the teacher who is not presenting it properly. I believe that it is my job as a teacher to be able to re-present the information according to the learning style of the individual until the student is able to understand it according to his or her needs, and this is why I am so successful at what I do. I am very calm and easygoing and am very good at working with teens.

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching, I love helping a student believe in themselves and realize they can learn anything. I am patient, able to take broad concepts and break them down. I enjoy the idea of exploring and not just plain learning styles. Each student is different and have their own way of learning which is why I love the idea of tutoring and working one on one with a student.
I just finished at the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in Biology and Secondary education. I can teach 7-12th grade all science areas and really enjoy all levels of science. Going through high school and college I obtained a great work ethic which helped me succeed to the Dean's list, and various other titles. I have research experience and have been in front of the classroom for a year and loved it. I can help with projects, studyign and just learning how to read a science textbook.
