A Little Bit About Me...

I have many volunteer hours stacked up working with groups of children, but I would love to teach on a more personal basis to build my one-on-one skills. I'm currently an education major at Colorado State University, and while music is my emphasis, I was always very studious in school and am well-versed in other subjects. I have received numerous academic and artistic awards, some (such as being named a Texas Music Scholar) encompass both.
For me, teaching isn't about pounding new material into their head, it's about helping them understand the material they're given and actually having fun learning. That's why my teaching style is all about fun and retention.

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!).
Socratic.

English Teacher/Tutor/TESOL

I taught emergency response classes for the American Red Cross before going back to college. I then taught English composition classes, and I tutored in the university writing center for two years. Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes.
I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always sought to lead rather than force something upon the student by rote. Most important is to present the information in a way that is both interesting and memorable. It is my experience that people remember things better when they truly understand the process, and have reason to listen to the explanation.
My experience in tutoring began in high school when I volunteered for my local library, in a program aimed towards improving students’ reading ability. Having had considerable difficulty learning to read myself, I felt it was important that I attempt to pass this on to others. When I entered Knox College I was focusing on English, and ended up helping my fellow students with writing and editing their papers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I utilize several different teaching strategies and attempt to pull strengths from the youth and work with positives. I give examples and direct youth in the direction of the correct answers. I utilize reading and instructing out loud to the class, writing on the board for further and clearer instructions and information, using real life ideas and situations to help explain the lesson (ex. of using microwave and cooking to help explain temperature and gave reminders at the end of class for work completion, assignments and expectations. I am firm with some basic expectations and allow for some freedoms that seem to benefit the flow of the class and avoid power struggles and the potential for additional problems.
For the last 3 years I have been working as a special education teacher at a non-proft treatment facility. I enjoy working with children. I conduct myself in a very positiv ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success with education.
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.

More About This Tutor...

When I focused on my degree at the University of Northern Colorado, I found a love beyond writing, I fell in love with language, its morphology, and how powerful a simple punched statement can be in helping you persuade, inform, and move readers. There is strength in a good writer, and the greatest lesson I learned was that you are not born a great writer. We expect perfection the first time, and when it is not perfect we lose hope—and that is a fallacy. Good writing is hard work, revising, editing, and sets of eyes other than your own. During the last three years I have been helping students understand this in the classroom.
I absolutely love working with kids. My strength is teaching secondary level students, and I believe as a teacher you must forge a connection to help a student struggling outside of his area of expertise. You establish trust by building relationships, letting ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy having conversations with my students, asking them questions, actively engaged in assessing how well they understand the concepts. This allows me to best serve them a learners in the present, as well as to anticipate where difficulty might arise in the future. This informal, conversational approach works magnificently for very young students, older students and college students alike.
I have seven years of experience sharing my passion for mathematics, science and learning with students. I taught students with a spectrum of backgrounds, from English language learners to undergraduates. Though my degree is in Biology and I began my career teaching science, I have been teaching math for the last four years. I am recognized as a highly qualified in Math and Science by Colorado's standards for non-licensed teachers. I enjoy working with students of any ability in math, chemistr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.
During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.

My favorite English teacher in college affected me because he focused on my individual strengths and interests, instead of giving cookie cutter instruction. I believe this is essential in teaching, for every student learns in his own particular way. This is especially important in writing: you do not want turn a budding young Hemingway into a James Joyce, or vice versa. I believe I achieve this with empathy, a sense of humor, and my own contagious love of learning.
Carried by a love and facility for the English language, I received a B.A. in the subject from the College of the Holy Cross, and a M.A. from Georgetown University. In these rigorous programs, I learned the skills of critical reading and writing. I have used these skills as a publications assistant, a position in which I wrote and edited newsletters and magazines for a financial association. For the last eight year ... read more
