I believe that every student can learn more than they think

I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.
I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds.

A Little Bit About Me...

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, physics, and biology.
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 ... read more

Teaching in a major metropolitan school district has allowed me to teach among a very diverse population. I use a variety of teaching strategies and assess my students' progress regularly. I have extensive training in measuring the learning needs of students. My strength in teaching stems from maintaining a positive learning environment, teaching at levels my students are comfortable with, and encouraging higher level thinking skills. Major subjects I am experienced in (11 years) are Accounting, Finance, Computer Applications, ACT Preparation, Job Skills, and Business Writing.
I have taught high school Accounting, Finance, Computer Applications, Web Design classes for the past 11 years. I do have experience teaching Accounting at the junior college level as well. In 2004, I was chosen Teacher-of The-Year by my colleagues and students. I am proficient in teaching job skills, st ... read more

Each child has an individual learning style the teacher needs to discover and build upon. I believe there are many tried and proven methods of education that schools have used over the years to educate students that are still valid. My task as a tutor is to find out something about the difficulties they are having with a particular subject or lesson, and then plot a path that will lead them to success in the particular lesson they are having trouble with. I must to my best to break down complex problems into a step-by-step process that will lead the student to understanding and discovery.

I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good teacher must be empathetic towards student needs, have a good sense of humor, and exceptional communication skills. Communication skills are not limited to inside the classroom. A good teacher must be able to talk to parents, administration, and other staff members. It is their job to make the classroom a safe and welcoming environment where academics are the main focus. They must be willing to motivate even the students who are the hardest to reach with astounding knowledge of their content area, but also with a great personality. These skills are never truly mastered, a good teacher always wants to find new ways to excel at their job.
When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each o ... read more

My love is working with kids. My true gift is working with kids who have otherwise had problems in an academic setting.
I am a graduate of Law School, but my first love and continued passion is education. I have vast life experiences as well as experiences in education that were both diverse and enriching. My English background has provided me with a great content-area knowledge; while my law background has taught me an analytical side to reading and writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate from the University of Northern Colorado with my BA in Elementary Education (k-6) I have had much experience working with children and adolescence.

My specialty is English and/or Literacy which was the emphasis of my degree. Over the last two years I have tutored ESL students in literacy and math. I have a drive for helping others learn and I am constantly trying to excel my students to achieve to the highest of their ability. I believe that every student can reach success through hard work and dedication.

A Little Bit About Me...

The majority of my educational experience was acquired along with my teaching license at Colorado State University. This experience includes practicums in Fort Collins schools and 16 weeks of student teaching at Loveland High School. All 3 stints involved either algebra or geometry. While taking courses for my license, I augmented my math knowledge with classes that included calculus, abstract algebra, and non-Euclidean geometry. I also tutored a visually impaired student in her integrated math classes. I am now applying for my license, which I expect to receive in July. My practical math experience includes over 25 years as an engineer in the integrated circuit industry, including 10 years at Ball Aerospace.
I believe that education comprises steps from the known to the unknown in directions that cultivates curiosity. Therefore my first steps are to (1) become well acquainted with ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a substitute teaching license from the state of Colorado. I have been subbing for Denver Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District for over three years. I have worked with ages ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade.
I enjoy working with students and have a high level of patience with each grade level. I am usually pretty laid-back and allow students leeway to have a bit of fun while they learn. I believe that without a little fun in their daily routines, students grow stagnant and bored easily. I enjoy feeling that I make a difference in student's lives.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Denver with a double major in History and Mathematics. However, I pushed myself to succeed in many other subject areas as well, including Theatre, Spanish and Leadership Studies. I also developed exemplary essay writing skills during my educational experience. As a high school student myself, I took a total of nine AP Exams (AP US History, AP European History, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C, AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP Spanish Language and AP Spanish Literature), and I scored the highest attainable score of five on all of them. During the past two years, I have tutored students in History, Mathematics, Science and Language Arts.
I believe that every student deserves the individual attention they require to excel. I am capable of offering this help to your child: I am very patient, f ... read more
