Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Colorado Springs, CO

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 subjects including study skills, spelling, history, math, and English. For the past several years, I have owned a small business that employed teenagers. I both developed and administered the training for these first-time employees. I have also taught dance to children and adults. I hold an inactive Texas Teaching Certificate with English and history endorsements, and I am in the process of becoming a certified teacher in Colorado. The best teachers (and tutors) are able to diagnose why a student is not understanding his schoolwork. Le

I believe my teaching style is very adaptive to the age and need of the learner, however, I require parental support, dedication, and willingness on the part of the student to make my tutoring approach successful. I believe we are all lifelong learners and with hard work and dedication can achieve any goal we have for ourselves. I do not see myself as very strict nor am I very lenient. I have never tutored before, however, I have taught Sunday School for two years, I am currently volunteering at two Museums where I am engaged in educational activities, and I have experience in home schooling my 5th grader.

I enjoy teaching and interacting with children of all ages. I truly believe that everyone is capable of learning, but a single approach cannot reach all children. I make myself available for students on an individual basis to help them ensure they are successful in their academic endeavors. I am patient, easy going and considerate of others' feelings. My ultimate goal is to provide the best possible learning experience for everyone. I firmly beleive there are different learning styles for each indivdual, but have had great success with teaching through actual, hands on, experiences. Included in that is constructive feedback and celebration of successes. I firmly believe that a single teacher who truly cares can make a world of difference in the life of a student. I am a walking example of such a case. As a graduate in both the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and M

Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

I feel that it's very important to understand each individual child's learning style and consequently, teach accordingly. If he/she is more of an audio learner, I would use songs and sounds to teach them. If they learn by seeing and doing, I would want to find activities that connect to the subject being learned. I realize it takes patience and understanding to teach children. I am very patient and have a unique ability to connect with children. I love helping children achieve and believe a child needs a loving and patient teacher.
