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

My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One observing any one of my classes could feel definitely "drawn in" if so desired. My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th

I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three states and two foreign countries. Leadership was usually demonstrated in teaching for proprietory institutions in curriculum development and in the processes of actual recruitment. In fifth-grade teaching of English language learners, my class for two semesters won the highest attendance record for 3rd-5th graders in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even today th

I began my career as an educator and I professionally taught in Colorado, Ohio, Texas and California. When working on my Ph.D in Educational Research at UCLA, I worked as a master teacher where I trained mathematics and science teachers in the Teacher Education program at UCLA. As an IBM employee, I trained other employees and worked as an instructor and curriculum and course designer. I also created educational conferences which consisted of multiple classes and presenters from around the world. As a Senior Manager at IBM, I provided training for managers. Throughout my career, I voluntarily tutored children and adults in multiple subject areas - mathematics, English, computer science, business acumen, and GED Preparation. I tend to be enthusiastic about the subject matter I teach and that enthusiasm is contagious. My actual teaching style is based on four main factors: (1) the goa

I am dedicated to inspire students to learn and to achieve to their goals. I believe all children can learn and each one has a different and unique learning style. It is the responsibility of the teacher to learn how to teach to these unique learning styles. I want to support teachers to build relationships with students and parents in setting high expectations as they support and facilitate studetns reaching their goals. At the end of the day, I want to make a difference in the life of a student. • Teaching experience, 20+ years, with Denver Public School and Berkeley Unified School districts. • Summer College Workshop – sponsored by the University of Denver – working with parents of the students attending the workshop, to provide them with the necessary information to make decisions regarding their youth’s future and their educational journey. • Classroom teaching with Denver Publ

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures. Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allow

I have been engaged in tutoring since college; started a tutoring program for inner city kids in Atlanta, GA while in College. I have a B.S. degree in Biology and therefore have a lot of experience in the sciences and mathematics. I also worked with Step Ahead Tutors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin prior to recently moving to Denver, CO. During the last 10 years I have tutored middle school, high school, and medical students in an array of math and science subject. love teaching and working with all children but I am capable of teaching all ages. I am flexible, patient, and persistent and try to couple my persistence with humor and light-heartedness when teaching challenging subjects. 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.'

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

My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be clear regarding course expectations. Developing specific strategies and changing with challenges that arise is essential. I am kind, patient and creative, have high expectations of myself and others, and believe that all people can learn. A key to meeting the needs of students is to have healthy and professional boundaries while creating good relationships; one of my greatest strengths is relating to students on a personal level and then tailoring the learning to this real person. I look forward to being involved with people who choose to learn. I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the past 29

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. 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 an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of that to help the student. I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses specifica
