Math, Statistics,Writing, ACT/SAT/GRE Test Prep

Flexible, down-to-earth -- I try to figure out how YOU learn best.
I am a retired college/university professor, and have been tutoring actively for the last six years (privately, as well as in a mentoring program at a community college). My tutoring experience has focused primarily upon mathematics, statistics, writing, Test Prep (e.g., ACT,SAT, GRE, math placement tests), chemistry and economics. Students have told me that I explain otherwise difficult material (especially in mathematics), in a down-to-earth and commonsense manner that makes sense intuitively.

Socratic.
I have 2+ years tutoring experience in all junior high and high school subjects, as well as 1 year teaching experience in literature. I am very interested in learning as well as teaching. I believe that the best way for students to learn is to discover it themselves, with some guidance from a knowledgeable teacher (me!).

Teaching is the greatest job I have ever had. I have never felt more rewarded than when teaching a child or adult something new or explaining a concept to them that is difficult. To see satisfaction on their faces is pure joy. From my previous tutoring and teaching experience I have learned to be patient but strong. I like to use creative methods to get children to think outside the box.
My tutoring began while I was studying at Montana State University. My Junior year I enrolled in a class that was based around community service and my role was tutoring middle school aged children. The tutoring was in a small group setting and was on any subject the children needed help in but mainly in reading comprehension. After college, I attended Via Lingua where I became certified to teach ESL. It was here that my tutor experience expanded. For 4 months, I not only taught night clas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Georgetown University in Washington D.C., I returned to Wyoming to work in politics and government. I have been asked to teach chapters on Government in the local high schools as well as teaching Sunday School classes locally in Cheyenne. I serve in the State Legislature as well as working in the community to help youth succeed in their goals.
I try to create a fun learning environment, ensuring the youth can ask questions, have flexibility at their learning speed and still master the material in ways that will stay with them. Depending on the subject area, I like to give hypotheticals, questions and real-world examples that will help achieve memorization easier.

I have a communicative and interactive approach to teaching. I believe that a child learns best when actively involved in the process of learning and discovery. I am also a very patient person and feel that a nurturing, calm and positive environment is the key to success in learning. I strive to expose my students to new ideas by sharing my travels and experiences with them. I challenge them to ask questions and follow their curiosity in the classroom and outside of it.
I started teaching while in college; I worked as a Teaching Assistant when school was in session (teaching college students) and as a camp counselor at a French immersion camp in the summers. This allowed me to work with students ages 8-22 and to develop different teaching styles for different ages. I am currently writing my PhD thesis; although the subject is Francophone, I'm writing in English and feel that I have ... read more

One of my greatest strengths as a teacher is my ability to discern whether or not a student has understood a concept. I recognize that students learn through different methods and I know how to present complex information in a variety of ways so that a student grasps the topic. I believe in having students demonstrate learning by performing activities and exercises that reinforce presented material. I have a good rapport with students of all ages and they find me accessible which enhances the teacher-student relationship. My ultimate goal is for students to become self directed learners who can eventually take control of their own educational experience. Once they have confidence in their skills and abilities they will then be able to be successful both in school and beyond.

My teaching style is a mixture of many elements. The first thing I do is to make students enthusiastic about their studies. To give subtle motivation and build interest, I make the topic applicable to a person’s life. The next step is to work on confidence. You have to help students see that it is possible to overcome personal difficulties with specific subjects. To do this, I focus on each learner’s strengths and break topics down into manageable parts. I ask the questions that will direct each student to make connections on their own. As frustration is an inevitable part of learning for struggling students, I always remain flexible and ready to try a new tactic when necessary.

I have experience as both a teacher and a tutor. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in English/Secondary Education. Throughout my years in college I learned theories of education, observed in classrooms and student taught at both the middle school and high school level. After graduating college in 2003, I taught 9th grade English for 2 years in a charter school in Houston, TX. After I relocated to Chicago, IL, I entered the corporate sector; however, I continued to volunteer as a tutor for 2 years. Given my past experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with students at many different levels and have tutored in various subject areas.
I have always been a believer in giving students a foundation from which to learn and grow. I enjoy teaching students basic skills that can be applied to many different subject areas. For example, I think things like t ... read more

Although I earned a mathematics degree, I struggled to gain complete competence in algebra and geometry. I believe that my initial struggles have enabled me to become a better teacher because I constantly offer several ways of solving a problem to my students. I do not have to pause and wait for them to comprehend the material the first try. I can simply try re-phrasing or a different method. Also, I am intrinsically patient and a people-pleaser. I love seeing children succeed and value their success.
As a mathematics graduate, I am very detail-oriented and organized. Throughout college I tutored college students in calculus, business math, and statistics. I also tutored high school students in Algebra 1 and 2, Trigonometry, and Geometry. My easy-going and patient teaching style created many referrals that made me a successful and lucrative tutor.

Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics.

Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others.

Effective, long-term educational results occur best in a teaching environment that includes energy, enjoyment, and enthusiasm (i.e., the joy of learning!). With that motivation, I believe that building a strong foundation in every subject area is the key to students' learning and retention. Teaching the "Hows" and "Whys"---not just the "Whats" (the answers)--is imperative as is critical thinking and organizational development! Also, relevant, meaningful applications of learned material are essential and encouraged. Being a results-oriented, caring tutor and mentor is always my ultimate goal---with smiles all around! Teaching competence while developing confidence is the key to effective learning!

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 specifically in test prep.
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 th ... read more

As a teacher of multiple grades, I prefer a unit study approach, allowing each child to learn according to his own learning style. Prescribing to a system entitled the 4Mat SystemTM, I have embraced the outcomes of such a system which include improved retention, higher achievement, increased motivation, improved thinking skills, and lower remediation. The 4Mat SystemTM consists of four steps: the first step creates a reason; it motivates the student by making the lesson meaningful to his life. Concept Development gives the facts and is accomplished through research. Next you expand the lesson by letting the student try it out; they should do something with what they have learned. Finally, allow the student to excel by letting them teach it to themselves and others. While this system works well for multiple grade teaching, I am not entirely opposed to a more classical approach. P ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The more time I spend with kids, the more I realize how many different ways they learn. Kids have taught me a great deal about looking at things from a different point of view and teaching to a variety of levels, abilities, and learning styles. I KNOW each child has the ability to learn. Unfortunately, I also know each child has the ability to feel failure and confusion. My greatest pleasure is seeing students grasp a concept that was previously very foreign. A kid who breaks a smile while struggling to learn a challenging idea means success to me. I aspire to make students feel comfortable, supported, accepted, and encouraged through my patience, understanding, rethinking, and openness. Ideally, my students will find their own motivation, strength and determination to find future success in educational endeavors. I know I am making a difference in each life I touch and I feel lucky to h ... read more

As the oldest of seven children, I am very comfortable working with children and enjoy it very much. My favorite teacher was in third grade, and he made such an impression on me that fifteen years later I am still reminded of him and his unique teaching style. To me, every child is unique and learns better in a different way than others might. Having a wide range of teaching methods is important, as well as being patient, empathetic, and innovative to help someone learn in a way that is interesting and stimulating. Every person, child or adult, can reach their academic potential with the right guidance, and I thrive on that interaction.
Being a meticulous student at Colorado State University, I excelled in academics. During my nine semesters, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Literature, and Culture with a concentration in French, as well as Political Science. Helping others ... read more
