A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an "instructor"-teacher for over 15 years. I teach math, economics, finance, business, and management for several colleges. I have been a Boy Scoutmaster and merit bade counselor and have worked with youth for over 15 years. I have always been given very high marks as an instructor with many comments on my positive energy and help for students. I have an applied mathematics minor so I would be able to teach algebra, geometry, trig, and introductory calculus.
I am a question-answer type of teacher. I like to demonstrate, have them do, answer questions, clear up ambiguities, and then test or at least check to insure learning and understanding. I have a style of quiet, but firm expectations. I have a great amount of patience. I will do best with high school and college age students, and on occasion, with more mature middle school students.

I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Math classes included Calculus I, II, and III, Differential Equations and Matrices, and Engineering Math. My MS in Engineering Management included several classes in Statistics and Probabilities. I tutored middle school students 12 hours per week for two years at Ramstein Middle School, Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
I believe that each student is different, and that the best teaching method differs with each student. Some students respond better to being challenged while others will require smaller steps. The goals of the students also vary, some needing only to pass while others need a solid foundation in anticipation of further study. I believe I can tailor instruction to the students' needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned the BA, MA, and PhD degrees in mathematics and have held half-time college mathematics teaching positions at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara while a graduate student, and full-time tenure -track college teaching positions in mathematics at Cornell College of Iowa (2 years), Univ. of Hawaii (2 years), Penn State Univ. at McKeesport (15 years), and San Jose Community College (16 years). I have taught at one time or another all junior high and high school level mathematics courses and all lower division college level courses. During the 1980s for six years I traveled to the Princeton, New Jersey area to grade for the ETS the Advanced Placement calculus exams submitted by high schools throughout the nation. I held the position of Dean of Mathematics and Science at San Jose City College for 11 years, from which I retired in 2002.
I am very patient with students of all age ... read more

My teaching style revolves around the specific learning needs of students because each person not only learns differently but has specific strengths and weakness. As teachers it is our job to meet the needs of all learners. I do not believe in presently material in one way, or one way all the time.
I am a graduate of both the University of Colorado and Adams State College. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Education as well as a Initial Teacher's license. I have experience as a volunteer tutor in social studies and math, a paid tutor in reading, a student teacher, and as a substitute for the last year and a half. I also have experience as a mentor to young people through the YMCA.

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 work independently. I have my BA from Scripps College in both English and History. I have significant experience tutoring within the humanities, but also German, math and the sciences. I started college as a Biology major, so I have a firm grounding in mathematics and the sciences, which I have bolstered to prepare for graduate school in Architecture. I was a Jumpstart (AmeriCorps) team leader, which involved implementing early childhood curriculum and promoting skill building for at-risk preschool children.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began as an English major then graduated in Physics with honors, cutting edge research experience in both academia and industry, as a published writer, photojournalist and poet. As a result, I can understand why some very intelligent people who perform well with the arts can sometimes be frustrated by the math and sciences, and vice versa. I have previous experience as a private tutor and trainer in industry settings. I have researched alternative energy and biomedical devices so I can answer the question “Will I ever use this?” by citing real world examples. I teach physics, multiple forms of math and writing. I enjoy watching a student’s face light up with that “Now I get it!” expression.
My style is patient, respectful, fair and adaptive. The goal is to find what works well for the student, not take a rigid one-size-fits-all approach that a classroom may employ. I start loo ... read more

While I was attending college I worked in child care with a variety of ages preparing lessons for enrichment. I also taught as an adjunct professor for adult ESL at Aims Community College. After finishing my degree, I taught for five years at Wiggins Elementary in 2nd and 6th grade. I was trained in FAST reading program as well as many others for teaching reading and math. For the past two years, I have been living in the country of Macedonia as a US Peace Corps volunteer. My job there entailed working with primary school teachers to develop student centered teaching techniques and resources. I was responsible for planning, attending classes, modeling and providing feedback for teachers.
I believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I received my bachelors’ degree in May, 2004 from Metropolitan State College with a BA in Behavioral Science (minor: Elementary Education). In the fall of 2004 I continued my education at MSCD by enrolling in the teacher preparation program, pursuing an endorsement in elementary education. 12 semester hours of student teaching remain before I obtain my teaching license; however, for personal reasons, I have stopped attending school for the time being. The teacher preparation program at MSCD includes an academic year of pre-student teaching internships. From January 2004-May 2004 I interned in a third grade classroom, and from August 2004-December 2004 interned in a fifth grade classroom. These valuable experiences afforded me the opportunity to: • develop and implement lesson plans on a wide range of topics and varying levels of academic ability, • work with emotionally and phys ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am patient and love to work with children. I believe that every child has a natural drive to seek knowledge. However, classes at school are often too big to allow for different approaches to teaching.
When I came to the U.S. I was very happy to get the opportunity to improve my English as well as follow my passion in researching environmental problems. I learned in multiple classes and my research group how important team work is in accelerating knowledge, solve problems, and share what I learned with other people. As a undergraduate student I had the opportunity to tutor multiple High-school students in Chemistry and Math.

I have an MA in Special Education with an endorsement in SIED II. The past six years have given me substantial experience working with students with Learning Disabilities and Cognitive Needs (K-8th.) I've taught reading, language arts, math, and social skills. For the past year I've been tutoring students who were considered NCLB and private clients. I tutor children (2nd-7th) who are below grade level in math, reading and language arts. I teach and review basic skills that were never learned using creative and relevant lesson plans and I use many of my own materials. The parents have been very pleased with my results.
My strong belief is that all children can learn given the right teaching guidance and materials. I encourage my students to problem solve, take academic and emotional risks, and to use their own creativity and uniqueness. I try to make learning interesting, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and learning from students. I feel everyone has something to share and assist with understanding different beliefs, cultures and ideas. I strive to teach to all modalities. I look at and present different ideas that might make sense. When a student understands the whys they can understand and look at the how to aspect.Teaching should be student driven allowing them to take in information and process. Then as a teacher I can reinforce and guide then to success.I believe that everyone can learn at their level of knowledge. I never give up on any student.
I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Spec ... read more

I love working with youth and feel very comfortable teaching math up through calculus. My approach is to teach from the ground up, without any assumptions about prior math knowledge. Having been someone who formerly had difficulty with the subject, I can better understand some of the pitfalls that the student may encounter.
I am a recent Economics graduate with a Math minor (more than 30 units of math) I've tutored at Jefferson H.S. in Edgewater CO in 2006 and am a former Marine in the communications field with years of instructional experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Fort Hays with a BS in Mathematics and taught for two years in Topeka, Kansas. I then returned to Fort Hays for additional classes and earned a MS in Secondary School Administration. Upon moving to the Denver area I originally taught in the Adams County District 50 Schools for one year. I taught in the Jefferson County Public School system in the Denver area for another 27 years. I was the math department head at Evergreen Senior High School my last three years. I also taught at a parochial school in the Denver area for an additional three years.
I believe that given the appropriate instruction in the basics, any child can excell in any field. It is the job of the educator to insure that the mastery of the basics is accomplished before pushing the student further. This is true in academics as well as sports or any other field of endevor. I have always insisted that ... read more

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
