A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

More About This Tutor...

I entered Brown University with a desire to become a teacher; the ancient world drew me into pursuing a degree in Ancient Philosophy, during which I studied Ancient Greek. After graduating, I spent two years in the Peace Corps in West Africa, where I taught villagers how to improve their nutrition and crop raising techniques. Upon returning, I decided to return to my original love for teaching, and entered the Master's program at CU in Teaching Latin. During my first year of learning Latin, I became a tutor to an undergraduate during a Teaching Methods course, and have since given long-term private instruction to 2 middle school students, 2 high school students, 3 undergraduates, and 2 adults. I also became a substitute teacher for the Boulder Valley School District, and taught in the Latin classrooms of two high schools. Last spring, I taught the final semester of the beginning year of ... read more

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 provide examples of varying 'difficulty' to show how to use the concept (the student should be able to apply it regardless of the problem’s complexity). With respect to science, visuals are key. Biology can be taught using models/diagrams representing various systems. Chemistry, though, requires a more hands-on approach. Teachers should guide students to the answers, allowing students to learn the most by creating their own diagrams/models. Every student learns differently, so it is necessary to discover how each student learns. Consequently, I tweak my style to suit his/her needs.
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 cre ... 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...

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 1992 but did not need it here in CO as I taught in private schools, so it has lapsed. I have maintained my own tutoring business over the last ten years and worked with students ages 5-14 (primarily 6-10) in subjects ranging from reading to math to study skills. My MEd gave me excellent awareness and insight into learning styles and child development, and the years of teaching have afforded me excellent success as an educator and classroom manager. Montessori made me very aware of how to work with the whole child: mind, body and spirit.
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 ... read more
