Spanish Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Winter Park, CO

My favorite part about teaching is the moment of sudden understanding that you can see in a student's eyes when they've got it. The challenge, of course, is getting to that moment, especially in a subject like math or science. While certain subjects may come easier to some people than to others, I do not believe that anyone is "incapable" of understanding and excelling in any field of study. If understanding is lacking, that is only because the student needs to be presented the material in a way that makes sense to them. During my time at Colorado College, I worked as a chemistry tutor helping my younger peers traverse the challenging General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry course loads. But because of CC's rigorous alternative schedule--where you take one class at a time, for one month each class--it's necessary to learn to pick up new concepts very quickly, I often found myself being a

I have always loved traveling, learning about different cultures, history, ideologies and of course food and have traveled to over 16 countries and lived in 5, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and most recently México, where my Spanish speaking and ESL teaching journey began. I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation. While living abroad, I experienced firsthand the struggles and daily frustrations of not being able to communicate my ideas, feelings or simply ask for directions or order from a menu at a restaurant.

I am a very fun and practical language teacher. From the beginning, I will help you become confident in your language skills and not be afraid to fail. Putting yourself out there when you are traveling or simply in the classroom is key to progressing with a language. I will use movies, music, videos, current events, and pop culture to create an interest in a new culture and country that will help you learn the language that much faster. As well as being a certified TESOL instructor, I graduated from Smith College with a bachelors degree in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and Latin American Studies. My studies focused on language learning, reading, writing, and cultural history and studies in Spanish and Portuguese. I studied abroad in Lisbon, Portugal for one semester and was in intern for a summer in a sustainable village in the jungle of Panama. Before college, I did my gap year in Be

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.

Very interested in teaching Arabic to students with ZERO experience but a strong desire to learn. My expertise is introducing new Arabic learners to the language. I am a native speaker of the Levantine dialect. The Arabic language is ancient and beautiful. I studied Arabic at the college level. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the standard used for all Arabic media, newspapers, and publications. I teach MSA. I am very perceptive to individual needs. I have some material I prepared myself, as well as many texts, including the AL-KITAB I and II books that were developed and published at the Georgetown University Press. Bottom line. If you are interested in learning Arabic, I am interested in teaching. Lets get in touch.

I am a fun, enthusiastic, caring, supportive, yet, particular teacher. My students learn whether they want to or not... I include a lot of games and activities which are fun for everyone, including myself! I have to have fun, because if I'm not, I know my students aren't having any fun. I care very much for people, therefore, wanting what is best for my students and for them to see the importance of learning another language. I share a lot of my own personal experience, sparking interest in the students and creating a connection with them! I have been teaching Spanish for 5 years and taught ESL for two years when I lived in Spain. I went to Spain to improve my Spanish and I recommend my students to study abroad! It is the best way to learn/practice the language as well as really get to know the culture. Right now, I am tutoring - working for myself and/or companies. Spanish is

I love teaching and working with both children and adults. I am very good at establishing rapport particularly with children who are struggling and with ESL. My goal as a tutor is to give my students the skills and strategies they need to be successful and feel good about themselves as independent learners. I use a variety of engaging activities that capture the student's imagination and interest, while at the same time staying focused on their particular needs. I am a retired Boulder valley teacher and I have taught from the preschool to college level for over 20 years. Most recently, I worked as an ESL and reading teacher. My training was modeled after reading recovery and involved one year of supervised teaching one-on-one with children who were struggling readers. The goal of this training is to help children work with their strengths as readers, rather than focusing on their

In my past I have taught many years as a tennis instructor and ski instructor. I also taught at a Federal correctional Institution in Englewood, Colorado in their Education Department in 1990 and 1991. i tutored inmates for their 8th grade equivalency as well as several others through their GED's. In 2002 through 2004 I also was the training officer for Star West Aviation. My teaching style was, and always has been to use humor and patience to bring my students along and to achieve where they had failed in the past. I found, especially in the prison system, that people achieve best when you make the work interesting and also within the student's ability. No one wants to feel stupid and there is always a tremendous joy in even grown adults when they "get it." In 1975 I had been teaching tennis for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department for a year and elected to attend

I break down the lessons into chunks that build on one another, making certain that the student(s) acquire a solid base. I am encouraging and respectful, as well as friendly and on their side. I have taught students of many nationalities and abilities, and I am attuned to discovering individual difficulties and solutions to these obstacles in learning. I am fluent in six languages: French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, and English. I attended local schools and lived in those countries as a child, as well as worked overseas for seventeen years. My degrees are a BA in Comparative World Literature and an MA in Russian Literature and Linguistics.

I enjoy having the freedom to create innovative and interesting ways of presenting material. I believe the student I am working with is the most important part of teaching any subject; I can teach them how to solve a problem, but this information is 'lost to the wind' if it's not sinking in with them. I use skills of observation to judge what is being retained, and what is being lost. There is no harm in repetition, either on a particular problem, or on a whole concept. I like being flexible, and am happy to adjust to each individual's learning style. One of the best ways I've found to reinforce the knowledge is to work out an example problem as they watch, and then ask *them* to solve a similar problem while I offer suggestions. I am going to be a senior in college studying Civil Engineering, and am currently taking some time off to gain work and travel experience. I just returned from
