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

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.
Flexible, down-to-earth -- I try to figure out how YOU learn best.

My comments on tutoring Psychology : College level.

I have helped tutor AVID high school students when I was a senior at Cherry Creek High School. I enjoy helping the kids learn and believe that being a tutor would pay it forward since I had so much help from tutors. I always helped my friends out because I was in higher level classes than them some of the times. I also worked with tutors and know how much of a difference they can make. I'm currently studying at CSU and still work with friends on homework if they need help.
I believe in success. There is no guarantee someone will learn on the first try. It's all about enjoying the learning experience and positive reinforcement. I also believe in humor and think that it can help a lot in peoples difficult situations.

Need a fun, compassionate, patient, and understanding tutor?

Well, throughout my life, I have worked with fellow students to foster better understanding of class material both in myself and in my classmates. In addition to informal, unpaid cooperation in mastering class material, I have also held positions tutoring both as a freelance tutor and as an hourly employee of the Academic Advancement Center, a Trio Program run at Colorado State University. At this job, where I have worked for the past two years, I have tutored low-income, first-generation, and disabled students (both physical and learning disabilities) in a variety of subjects including Psychology, French, Composition, Sociology, and Spanish.
I tend to use the socratic method a lot to help my students arrive at their own conclusions and understanding of material, paired with some basic, interactive instruction when students do not already understand some of the material involved. ... read more

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.

My degrees have taken me places that I never thought they would. I was excited to teach English in a school in Costa Rica for one year. There I was able to learn Spanish quickly as well as help elementary school children learn English. I taught grammar as well as science. I also tutored on the side in all subjects. Previous to this experience I tutored a fourth grader in geography, history, and spelling. In college I used many skills that helped me to prepare for teaching. A short list of these skills is math, creative writing, computer skills, memorization, and art work. Due to the fact that I was a science and art major I wrote many essays and made many different types of projects. For two semesters I did microbiology research, where I learned critical thinking and lab technique. I enjoy teaching children and have been assisting children in their homework for many years.

I love to work with children and adults. I feel that the best way for my students learn is for them to get hands on experience whether that be guided problem solving or actual lab work. I think that through this way my students reach their greatest potential.
I am a Colorado State University graduate with my major in Natural Sciences as well as a completed Initial Teacher License. I have not only an extensive understanding of science but I also know how to specifically teach science. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and I had a tutoring position last spring at a local high school (Fossil Ridge).

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.
I possess both a B.S. degree in zoology/ biology and a M.S. degree in environmental health. I have a ... 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I studied both music and Spanish at Colorado State University, and during my time as a student, I worked as a piano teacher in my own home. I enjoyed interacting one-on-one with each student, as they were all different in their personalities, music level, and interests. I found ways for them to acquire a love of music by adjusting my teaching style to their individual differences. After graduating, I became a full-time music teacher at the Piano Institute in Fort Collins and maintained a teaching schedule of 20 to 30 students per week. Although my expertise is in music, I am capable of tutoring in English, Spanish, reading, writing, math (up to the junior-high level), elementary science, and the liberal arts.
My goal when teaching is to see each student not only arrive at a point of understanding, but to witness a sense of joy and confidence in the process, as the sense of "I c ... read more

Every great endeavor begins with a great plan. Once the topic is determined and the current level of the student is ascertained I begin by creating a custom program to get the child up to speed in a fun, engaging, and high-energy format. Drawing from my education and experience, I can relate complex material down to concepts that are easy to understand. Foremost, the sessions must be fun and interactive to be successful. Success is about implementing accountability, autonomy, and courage. I’m a high energy and focused instructor who relishes in the success of others.

All throughout my educational career I have learned best through observation. I typically like to solve one problem for the student, allow them to observe, and then work through another problem with them. I am very patient and believe the students all have the capabilities to do well in whatever the subject field, and the tutor is merely there to guide them through. I believe that by allowing them to observe and then slowly letting the student do more and more of the work, it teaches confidence and the value of persistence. Ultimately, I believe that the tutor helps the student to realize their own potential and abilities.

As each student is unique, my teaching style is eclectic and tailored to the individual student as to how they best learn. Having a degree in Psychology gives me the unique opportunity to understand the individual, present them with techniques that promote better study habits, and increase their retention. I have dealt with situations of dyslexia, test anxiety, panic attacks, and challenging home/lifestyle situations, and have met with those challenges with success. As part of my continuing education I have taken a graduate class in Meta Cognition which is all about learning, learning styles, and how to create the best environments.

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 hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado.

During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology. I have experience in classroom setting, lab setting, and biology trips outside.
My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps).
