During my three years of formal tutoring, I was able to change my tutoring styles to fit the needs of the student. Everyone learns differently and it is important to realize and adjust my tutoring accordingly. During the last three years of my undergraduate college career, I was a Mathematics tutor for student athletes. Although the courses covered while tutoring ranged from basic math to calculus, I am more comfotable tutoring algebra and geometry. I earned my BA with a double major in Mathematics and Russian in just four years. After college, I helped my sister and step-sister with their math and math-related physcis problems.

I believe that the best way of teaching is to treat each individual differently. Different people learn in different ways and sometime it takes patience to find the best possible way to teach. I really enjoy when I see a student that understands the concept were talking about. As a mechanical engineering graduate I have had extensive experience in the area of mathematics. Almost everything class that I have taken requires a strong understanding of mathematics. I also have teaching experience as a fluid dynamics teaching assistant.

I love to work with children and adults. I feel that the best way for my students learn is for them to get hands on experience whether that be guided problem solving or actual lab work. I think that through this way my students reach their greatest potential. I am a Colorado State University graduate with my major in Natural Sciences as well as a completed Initial Teacher License. I have not only an extensive understanding of science but I also know how to specifically teach science. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and I had a tutoring position last spring at a local high school (Fossil Ridge).

Teaching children takes patience and creativity. Each child is different in their attention span and interests. Making each subject important and interesting is one place to start. It is crucial to never let a child give up, and not to give up on them yourself. My goal in teaching is to determine which way the child learns, for example a visual learning may need to draw out spelling words, where an audible learner needs to recite them. I love to find new ways to relate what they are learning with life outside of school and in this way show them how important the subject is. I do believe that each child can learn, but sometimes not understanding a subject is like building a wall on a road. A tutor's job is to break down the wall and make sure that the child knows how to keep the roads clear. My degrees have taken me places that I never thought they would. I was excited to teach Engl

Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct to excel in life. Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success wit

My teaching style is pretty much dictated by the student and their preferred learning style or combination of styles. For example: a student may just lack confidence, some need help with basic subject skills, or may have a difficult time conceptualizing processes or procedures particularly in math and science. I taught and tutored students at a Learning Center in Fort Collins for several years. The math curriculum covered basic, intermediate, and advanced math. I also taught study skill subjects. I've helped high school and college students with homework support in physics, chemistry, and advanced high school math. I have also substituted in math and science classes within the Loveland school district.

I began tutoring Spanish in high school and have done it off and on since. I studied abroad in Spain for a semester and continue to work on my Spanish skills independently, and am very proficient in reading and writing Spanish. I have also tutored at Putnam Elementary School and Fort Collins High school, namely with reading/writing/English. I am currently tutoring independently in mathematics and because of my pre-med requirements, I can tutor almost any science field (General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Biochem, etc.) I also research for a professor at the University of Nebraska and help to write and edit dissertations/proposals in psychology and law, including the Drake Law Review. All throughout my educational career I have learned best through observation. I typically like to solve one problem for the student, allow them to observe, and then work through another p

I work well with children. As the mother of eight, I have experience with all ages, and a variety of learning styles. I try to discover each childs strengths and play to those, encouraging individual learning styles. In addition to being a substitute teacher for the Thompson School District, I homeschooled my own eight children for over nine years. During that time, I taught numerous homeschool group classes, including biology, cooking and english.

While at Devry Institute of Technology, I was ranked in the top 3% of National Engineering students. This degree required advanced mathematics including Calculus, differential equations, and network synthesis. It also included computer programming and electronic circuit theory and design. In my career I have taught Windows, MS Office, robotics and programming to adults, helped teenagers graduate from high school, and helped my 7 year old daughter learn math. I believe that everyone, children and adults alike, can learn through patience, creativity and organized lessons. I make it fun and interesting, and possess many years of interesting real world experiences to draw on to help students understand and learn.

I enjoy having conversations with my students, asking them questions, actively engaged in assessing how well they understand the concepts. This allows me to best serve them a learners in the present, as well as to anticipate where difficulty might arise in the future. This informal, conversational approach works magnificently for very young students, older students and college students alike. I have seven years of experience sharing my passion for mathematics, science and learning with students. I taught students with a spectrum of backgrounds, from English language learners to undergraduates. Though my degree is in Biology and I began my career teaching science, I have been teaching math for the last four years. I am recognized as a highly qualified in Math and Science by Colorado's standards for non-licensed teachers. I enjoy working with students of any ability in math, chemistry, phy

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. 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.

As a recent CSU-Pueblo graduate with a mathematics major and a double minor in both physics and economics, I feel I have plenty of education for this position. While never having been paid by an actual tutoring service, I have helped friends and other students through challenging courses ranging from algebra to calculus and even statistics for a very reasonable fee. I’ve never bought into the argument that some kids just can’t do math. There is plenty of truth that some learn math much quicker and easier than others, but with a good work ethic and plenty of encouragement all kids are capable of learning these sciences. I feel the most important thing to do as a teacher is to stay positive, and try to somehow relate the math problems to real life situations. When correcting a student, it’s vital to carefully choose your words, for a harsh response will demoralize the student’s spirit
