GED Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Aurora, CO

I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high

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. 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 been engaged in tutoring since college; started a tutoring program for inner city kids in Atlanta, GA while in College.

I try to convey to all students who struggle that at some point, everyone has academic challenges; and that it's 'not where you start, but where you finish.'

Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allowed me to examine a comprehensive body of knowledge that deals with the structure of our country, our belief systems, and our government. Having recently graduated from UCDHSC’s MBA program with an Entrepreneurial track, I leave the university equipped with a new set of skills. Most of the curriculum was heavy on the writing side, forcing me to take a hard look at my grammatical skills, but allowing me an opportunity to grow and learn. The volume of written work over the entire MBA Program was massive, but it allowed me to hone my research skills and refine my writing style. Having many integrated collaborative group projects over the duration of my attendance familiarized me to the team member mentality prevalent in our current work environments. I have tutored pupils in English, math, social sciences, physics, mathematics,

I am a student centered educator. Students come into every situation with their own set of experiences. I also am aware that each individual has a preferred way to learn. I like to identify these experiences and preferences as a way to gain insight and thus provide an individual learning approach. In addition to a whole student approach, I value humor and simplicity. Complicated strategies and techniques are no fun. I strive to make the process fun and in doing so learning becomes a natural activity. I came to education from a non-traditional approach. I earned a BA in social studies and a Master's degree in education later in my professional career. As a result, I was keenly focused upon the process of learning. I excelled in my studies and came to be regarded as one other students could turn to for assistance. During my teaching career, I conducted classes in history, language arts, ge

I have a strong, diverse background in education, from EFL instruction overseas, to public school classroom instruction and private tutoring, to individual and group piano lessons. I began tutoring and teaching piano when in high school and continued through college. After college, I directed an after-school program in inner-city Dallas, where students were given homework help and supplemental educational activities on a daily basis. While teaching English in Russia, I fashioned curriculum and activities, pre-K through adult. I have continued to teach English to language learners, and gained more knowledge and experience while working as a reading specialist at a public school in Commerce City. Through my experience working with students in inner-city Dallas, in Russia, in Commerce City, and in Denver, I have learned to be creative when finding ways to help students succeed. Educati

I am a very hands on teacher at first. I feel it is necessary to provide someone the tools to be able to succeed on their own. I am extremely patient, and as a person who grew up with a learning disability, I have come up with different links and techniques to process information and make it more fun at times as well. I graduated from the University of Denver with a dual degree in Sociology and French. During my time in college I studied abroad both in France and in Ireland. I studied french literature extensively while abroad. I taught English for a summer in the French Alps as well. Though I have never been an official tutor, I have three brothers and tons of friends that Ihave helped with their studies.

I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep. My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen.

I am a first year Doctoral student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I was a TA last semester for the department of Journalism and Mass Communication, and I have six semesters of TA experience from Cornell University in the departments of Communication, History, Asian Studies, and Near Eastern Studies. I am interested in this position both because I enjoy teaching and I have a strong interest in international communities. I spent a portion of last year in South Asia conducting fieldwork for my thesis and realized just how much capital language has in the social arena. When I returned from India, I began tutoring international school age children to improve their English language, particularly in writing assignments. For this reason I am most interested in tutoring children and adults with language barriers.

As a graduate student, I worked as a tutor in the campus Writing Center. Later, just before graduating, I taught Writing, ESL and GED at the Denver County Jail. Since completing my degree, I became a Writing and Critical Thinking Professor for two separate Universities (Metro State College and Devry University), where I've been for almost nine years. I think learning should be fun. If a student doesn't enjoy what she is doing, she won't likely attain mastery of the discipline. Moreover, I think students learn best by doing as opposed to being told what to do (i.e. practice as opposed to lecture and explanation). This means that I leave a lot of space for students to try things without fear of making mistakes. Evaluation (especially critical evaluation) is an important element in the later learning process, but initially the priorities should be placed upon fun, experimentation, praise, a
