A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy making the ancient world come alive to students, whether they are in elementary school or adults. Because learning Latin is a challenging endeavor, it provides ample opportunity to help the learner develop better study skills and therefore more confidence in themselves as a learner, which I believe is helpful to students as they make their way in life no matter where it takes them. I enjoy taking a complex grammatical point, and breaking it down so that the student fully understands it and it is no longer a mysterious or illogical fact of language. I approach teaching Latin with the belief that we are all learners, and that Latin is continually revealing its secrets to both me as a teacher and the student as a learner; often I find new ways to understand an aspect of the language or the culture through finding ways to explain it to the student, and in doing so the student helps t ... read more

Since my sophomore year of high school, I have been helping my peers in subjects related to science and math. I helped the biology teachers create quizzes, grade papers, and provide after-school academic assistance to students. During my first semester of college, I participated in the Triunfo/Triumph Tutoring Program through El Centro Student Services at Colorado State University. This program targets K-5 grade students in the Poudre School District who need mentors to guide them with their studies. Throughout the remainder of my undergraduate experience (and even currently as a graduate), I am helping me peers understand concepts taught in college chemistry (general and organic), biology, and various levels of math.
Teaching style varies with the subject. For math, I derive how to arrive at the answer without memorizing a process. Once the student has grasped a concept, I p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that other students came to for guidance with difficult topics, from mathematical equations to evolutionary theory. Since I earned my BS in wildlife biology, I have taught in many capacities, including as a substitute teacher and as a trainer for new employees. I have taught discouraged children to read and fostered latent talents. As a tutor for the Interfaith Refugee Ministry, I worked with children and adults from all over the world, including a woman from Zimbabwe who was studying to earn her GED, but struggled just to create a complete sentence in English. After meeting with her for a few short months she had become a capable essayist and passed the test on her first attempt.

More About This Tutor...

My experience in tutoring began in high school when I volunteered for my local library, in a program aimed towards improving students’ reading ability. Having had considerable difficulty learning to read myself, I felt it was important that I attempt to pass this on to others. When I entered Knox College I was focusing on English, and ended up helping my fellow students with writing and editing their papers.
I have always sought to lead rather than force something upon the student by rote. Most important is to present the information in a way that is both interesting and memorable. It is my experience that people remember things better when they truly understand the process, and have reason to listen to the explanation.

More About This Tutor...

I consider myself to be an excellent communicator. I use humor and down-to-earth style to "connect" with children in a way that creates trust and allows them to open up. I believe learning happens when students are encouraged to explore, ask, and dive into what interests them. When material is frustrating or challenging, it's my job to make the material accessible and interesting; to engage my student in a way that fosters that "aha!" moment. Montessori gave me the wisdom to offer my students "freedom within limits". I can help children find their own boundaries by creating respectful learning situations where children realize they are being asked to do their best, and gently encouraged through positive feedback.
I have taught elementary education as a classroom teacher for over twelve years in both public and private settings. I held a valid OH teacher's certificate in 199 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to work one on one with my students. This way, I can give each student my full attention. I like working with people of all ages, from six years old through adulthood. I love it when a person understands my explanation and is enthusiastic about having done so. I am patient and willing to go over any material many times until the student fully understands it. My English grammatical skills are excellent. Many friends from Japan and other countries who are graduate and undergraduate students have relied on me to make sure that their grammar and word usage is correct. I feel that, with my help, any student's writing skills will improve.
Since graduating from the University of Albuquerque, I have worked in the New Mexico Governor's Office and been a guide for a Santa Fe outdoor museum. I also worked at the History Library, which is part of the Museum of New Mexico's Palace of the ... read more
