PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Agate, CO

I love developing and fostering a positive, trusting relationship with my student. By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs. I firmly believe that a teacher must be both flexible and intuitive. Whether I am teaching through discovery or through direct instruction, I continually assess and respond to my student's level of understanding in learning the new material. It is through this dynamic learning environment that I am able to make math both accessible and rewarding. I thrive on the "Ah ha!" moments that build my student's confidence. Extremely driven to achieve academically, I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While completing my coursework, I gained real world experience applying high level mathematics as a research a

I have spent the majority of my career working with students who have struggled to maximize their potential either because of their economic/home life situation (SES)or their inability to make meaningful connections with their teachers. I make it a priority to make the content meaningful to the student and relevant to their level of learning. I have worked at the secondary level for the past 11 years and understand the challenges our students today are facing. I am dual certified as a Language Arts and Reading teacher and am able to intertwine the importance of good reading strategies with good writing practices. I believe that all children have the potential to learn in whatever capacity they are given as long as a connection has been made with the child. Teachers need to look at each student individually and be able to capitalize on their strengths and weaknesses, rather than mold the

I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out of college, then began substitute-teaching k-12 and have been doing that for the past 5 years. In addition to this, I have been a nanny to various aged children and helped them with their schoolwork and studies. I believe my experiences with children, ranging in age from infants through 12th grade, have developed my ability to be flexible and to adapt to many different learning environments and abilities. I have substitute taught English, Math, Science, History, Physical Education, Home Economics, Business, and many other subjects. I also taught my own classroom of 5th graders all basic core subjects appropriate to that age.

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this t

During my time as an undergraduate, I worked as a writing tutor on campus. My work with fellow students prompted me to consider education as a career. After earning my bachelors degree in English, I spent some time working as a freelance writer and editor. During this time I tutored at a local community center and explored various teaching opportunities in my area. A year after completing my undergraduate work, I returned to school to pursue my masters degree in teaching. I completed my graduate degree in July of 2008. I am currently working as an English and reading teacher at the high school level in Colorado Springs. I have attended various trainings in the areas of reading and literature and have tutored in writing, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. I believe that challenge is the key to academic success. Every student can learn and acheive, but each child needs to

I am a warm and friendly teacher. Students are encouraged in whatever manner works best for them individually. For many, this takes the form of a friendly, cajoling encouragement. Others need reassurance of their capabilities. Regardless of the student, I find that success feeds their success. I try to find out what is of interest to my students, and to present the material as it relates to that interest. This keeps them motivated to listen and to learn. As they learn, I make sure they realize that they have experienced success. Encouragement and reinforcement of achievements are central to my interactions with every one of my students. I truly believe that, with the right approach and reinforcement of what they've learned, all students are capable of achieving their goals.

As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters. My knowledge of social science and behaviors has enabled me to realize a high rate of satisfaction and sucess with each student that I face. Even students who are named as trouble makers exhibit self confidence and control when a mutual trust and respect are established. Strong written and oral communication skills are useable skills needed at all grade levels. As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name ini

Teaching to me is one of the greatest pleasures I have. Helping children learn and making learning fun is something I strive for. I understand that all children are different and teaching styles need to be just as different. I like to find different ways for children to like and understand a problem that was once difficult. I listen and like the children to explain to me their difficulties and come up with a solution together to make learning fun. I have always worked with children, from baby sitting to working in a licensed day care facility. I have helped children with their homework and love the challenges early childhood creates. With my experience working with children I have learned patience and valuable listening skills. I earned by Bachelors degree in history which taught me how to sit and pay attention to detail.

Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.
