Pre-Algebra Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Colorado Springs, CO

The best teachers (and tutors) are able to diagnose why a student is not understanding his schoolwork. Learning "glitches", different learning styles, and a fear of being wrong often contribute to the problem. I try to discern how the student is thinking about the work, and then I use a variety of techniques to guide him/her to understanding. I might model my own thinking, re-present a concept in an imaginative way, or use another learning style in order to capture the student's interest and encourage them to "risk" in order to learn. I have extensive experience working with students of all ages, from elementary school through junior college. As a parent volunteer, I tutored K-6 students in math and reading. As a Learning Center and Basic Skills instructor at Trinidad State Junior College, I taught classes in math and English, and I worked individually with students on a variety of

I have worked for Liberty High School with their AVID program for over 4 years now, and I have been a personal tutor for about seven years to date. I have had a great many students and have been given rave reviews from all of them. I feel I am very knowledgeable in mathematics and I also feel I am very good at relating it to other people in different ways so they may be able to understand. I will be happy to help your student understand their respective subjects, and I may even be able to help you as well. My fees are negotiable so don't worry about being unable to afford my services or anything like that. I look forward to working with you. I always try to accommodate the student's needs so that they may feel more comfortable and better able to learn from me. I have always been able to explain things in multiple ways so that hopefully one way will click with my students.

i take a more relaxed route of teaching. i have found that if you sit there and point out faults and appear like you expect them to get it right on the first try it will turn the student away from you and cause them to hate the subject and ultimately fail. i take a more friendly route. talk about myself admit faults that i have when they appear. i try to become friends with the student in question and add fun with learning. if there is something specific that is needed extra attention to i will ask them to do the problem and point out there faults. i do not do everything for them. i let them test there knowledge and provide support when needed. For 11 years that i have been in school i have excelled in the fields shown and have helped my friends and others succeed in those fields. Most of the kids that i have helped have passed there classes and have gone to excel in higher classes. i a

I am currently attending Air Academy High School as a senior. My expected date of graduation is May 17, 2012. I am studying multiple core classes but take a special interest in English. I have taken multiple classes including grammar, writing, and everywhere in between. I have also taken an assortment of Math classes. Now I am currently taking Functions, Statistics, and Trig. My younger brother and I both have moderate ADHD. While this is technically not a disability it puts a strain on learning new subjects. Throughout my educational career, especially high school, I have learned different methods of studying that help me succeed just as well as my fellow classmates. I believe that everyone is capable of learning a subject. I have been told I am a patient person. It has been scientifically proven that children learn in different ways, something teachers don't always understand. I am a

Two ways: One, where I guide the student giving little hints and trying to make them think through the problem themselves. Two, how I learn better, is by seeing the problem done and seeing how all the steps are carried out, and then doing a second, similar problem by oneself. I love math, and I find so much excitement in making other people love math. I will be a senior in high school this upcoming year, and i will be taking Calculus 3. Since every subject in may builds upon the previous one, I think it s safe to say I have mastered almost everything from Algebra 1 to Calculus AB. Nothing makes me happier than having others understand math because of how I explained it.

I am fun and relaxed, but know how to get down to the point. I make my teaching easy to understand. Even though I am young, I do know how to convey teaching skills with the "up-to-date" mind set of today's generation. The main experience I have is helping fellow school mates and family with the problems they are having with school work. I did finish high school with a diploma. I have been to many schools and have had many teachers. I have been able to learn many techniques of solving a single problem.
