Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Deer Trail, CO

I like to be serious and get things done but I also like to have fun. I like to take things they are interested in and incorporate that into their learning. I am a High School Student at Legend High School I am a level 8 gymnast so weekends are the only time I have open. I love working with younger kids. I have worked with younger kids in Science fields before and their grades have gone up on an average of 4%. I also make sure the child is comprehending what they are learning instead of going through the motions and just finding patterns within the problems.

I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high s

I have traveled extensively, this experiential vantage point providing an understanding of the differences & similarities within and across the world's cultures. In History & Civics: lessons of the past examined in the context of present and future. In Economics we examine the economic realites which connect all nations. In Psychology & Sociology is an exploration into how the mind and society affect human behavior, interacting for either prosperity or problems. Wes Mix I am by nature a lifelong learner. I am curious, introspective, and always probing to discover hidden meanings, connections, and possibilities.

I have taught over 20 students during my undergraduate and graduate study. Most of the students that I have taught are engineering students who need help with the basic understanding of concepts and visualizing problems. The subjects that I normally teach are Chemical Engineering subjects, Engineering Physics, Chemistry and Basic Math classes. My wife teaches Computer Science, she possesses a Master's degree in Computer Science and has taught Java and C++ during her grad school. She has a good knowledge in programming and can help with beginner to intermediate level programming concepts. I find out what exactly the student is lacking in the subject by asking a few basic questions on the topic and make a judgement of the student's understanding on the topic and then proceed forward. I normally explain the concepts in diagrams so that it makes it easier for the student to visualize th

I have been a special education instructional paraprofessional for the past eight years. I worked for 2 years in elementary education and the past twelve years have been with high school students. I love helping struggling students learn and succeed in their education. Math is my specialty but I can also tutor in Reading, Social Studies, and Science. Over time I have figured out different teaching styles for my students who struggle with understanding. I love watching my students faces light up when they really get it!

After receiving my Bachelor of Science (B. S.) degree in Chemistry, I tutored students enrolled in a GED program and regular institute courses in the areas of Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, English, and Social Studies. While doing graduate studies in Medicinal Chemistry, I taught and supervised two general and one organic chemistry laboratories for students. While working in Information Technologies (IT) at a telecommunications company, I taught telecommunications industry standards and billing functionality to coworkers. I believe that every student deserves to receive the highest quality education. Since each student can learn in a variety of ways – through touching, smelling, seeing, talking, and/or hearing, I will evaluate each student to determine "What will best help him or her to learn the subject matter?" Guided by that evaluation, I will "do what it takes" to teach th

Holding a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in special education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction with post gradute hours +15 and ten years teaching and tutoring has enabled me to gain an understanding in all areas of elementary education with specialities in reading. My experience with IEP, DIBELS and phonics training, Title I teaching, Urban teaching, direction and art camp for ten years have giving me extensive experience in dealing with the needs of children and parents and teaching children to read no matter what the obsticles. I believe teaching is a very important profession and that our communities cannnot be strong with out a good education system. I believe that all children learn but each child has a different learning style and obsticles that may need to be overcome and special needs that need to be addressed.

I am focused on helping young students discover the joy of learning. I have taught approximately 500 + students over the years. My passion is teaching and educating. My teaching style reflects my belief that young students learn best by doing. Making connections are crucial. Helping students make those connections and guiding them to discovery is more than just learning a subject, it is learning how to learn. I take into account individual learning styles to help students cement and utilize what they have learned. I strive to help students master the material; I strive to help students develop learning strategies that will carry them throughout their school career and hopefully throughout life as well. I have a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis on Integrating Teaching through the Arts, from Lesley University. My passion is working with children of all ages. I have 18 years

I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, draw from various teaching resources, and differentiate for all levels of learners. I like to bolster the confidence of struggling learners with lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement. I like to illicit higher level thinking from all students. As the Title I Math Specialist at Peyton Elementary for three years, I had the opportunity to work with struggling learners as well as high achieving students in a small classroom setting. This on-the-job experience combined with numerous professional development credits earned in various areas such as differentiated instruction, math/literature connections, and mathematics pedagogy as well as two years of service on Peyton Elementary's "Child Study" team gave me the necessary background to be able t

I love, and am passionate about teaching children of all ages. I am a mother of three, and all of them have drastically different learning styles. I believe there are ways to teach that can encourage the child in their strenghts, and weaknesses and learn how to learn by emphasizing these strengths. I have worked a number of years in Early Childhood, Elementary level of Education, Middle School, and Special Education. I have also worked with children from the age of 6 weeks to 18 years old. I have worked as both a worked as a Para-educator and a teacher in a classroom with students with behavioral disorders.

I have over 5 years of teaching experience. I taught high school English as a foreign language near Budapest for 3 years. During that time, I focused on teaching English language learners, helping over 150 students pass their EU fluency exams, teaching essay writing to prepare students for majors in English at the university level, and the skills they needed to analyze classic literature. Since returning to the United States, I have completed my Masters degree in Education with the University of Phoenix, taught pre-school and second grade. These experiences have given me the skills to not only teach higher levels of English but to also be able to give young students the tools they need to begin the reading and writing processes. To put it simply, I love teaching. I believe that every child can learn. The beauty of a private tutor is the one-on-one connection between the tutor and t

I enjoy teaching and working with childrens. I remember of a handicapped student that I have tutored one year ago because he was late behind other students in his class. It was my first time to tutoring handicapped students. When his parents have called me to teach their son I didn't say no to them because I told myself that all children can learn but only in different ways. And I have started teaching him. During the first teaching I noticed he had really gaps and so I was more available, patient, easy going and considerate with him. And after two months already he has filled his gaps, and in third month we continued gradually. I am available to help your child find academic success. I'm graduate of two Master degree with honours, applied mathematics and computer science. Those both educations have enabled me to gain an strong understanding in many areas of math and science.

I love children and have many tactile and visual learners in my 5th grade class; thus, I use a lot of movement, realia and manipulatives in order to appeal to those learners. Students who typically have this learning style respond well to mnemonic devices, thus I encourage and teach self-created songs and gestures to increase long-term memory. Additionally, in order to increase meta-cognition, the actualization of one’s ability to complete a task(s), I begin lessons with an investment plan which aims to increase interest and motivation. I am in my first year of teaching 5th grade at Wyatt Edison Charter School in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. The student population I serve is 75% Latino, 24% African American and 1% Caucasian. As a member of Teach for America, I receive intensive training in multiple areas of effective teaching strategies. I’ve taught summer school math, reading,

Since 1970, I have been teaching English in grades 7-12 in both Middle and High School. My teaching has encompassed helping students become proficient in both writing and reading skills. Teaching in Denver has challenged me to work effectively with students having limited English proficiency as well as learning disabilities, but I enjoy working with all students! My strength as a teacher is in using scaffolding to help students gain confidence as a learner. What that essentially means is that I provide a great deal of support and modeling to students learning new skills and concepts. Gradually, as they become more advanced in learning, I remove those supports so they are performing more independently. That technique, along with lots of personal support, makes me an excellent teacher.
