My teaching/coaching style is structured, organized, yet relaxed. I believe it's important to get to know the individual and his/her learning style before creating a personalized education plan for him/her. After discerning how a person best learns, I would tailor a program based on areas that most need improvement. Then we would design "classes" or units that are interesting and meaningful to the student. A subject must have meaning and appeal to the student in order for real learning (and academic improvement) to take place. By training and trade, I'm a professional counselor. I've worked in school, mental health, and private settings as both an academic advisor and as an individual, group, and family therapist. At the college level, I've taught student success, time management, test-taking, goal-setting, communications, psychology, and business courses. I have also taught group s

Teaching comes naturally to me and I have the patience, dedication, warmth and concern that this profession requires. When a student recognizes that you sincerely care about their progress, they are more apt to apply themselves and feel confident in their ability to achieve. I believe in encouraging critical thinking skills, learning by doing, and learning through discovery. Education should be approached with a balance of seriousness and fun! I earned a Bachelor's degree in Public Health Nutrition, which required me to take many science classes, including anatomy/physiology and chemistry. I have had a career as an ESL teacher overseas and in the U.S. For the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as college students and other adults in classroom and tutorial settings. My classes have included reading, writing, grammar, spea

I am a bright, patient, and good teacher. I have been tutoring professionally and on a volunteer basis for many years. I am a business professional who has an MBA and an undergraduate degree in liberal arts. Both degrees are from top ranked institutions. I enjoy working with children! I am patient and open to a variety of teaching and learning styles. I work by positively encouraging kids to want to learn and by finding what their "hot buttons" are to avoid instilling fear into them. When I teach kids, they actually want to learn and the results have been great!

I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Special Education position. I took the job and went to Regis University while I was working with 7th and 8th grade students. I worked at this position for three years, the year I graduated 2007 the school was faced with downsizing and I was let go. I worked the following year with 7th and 8th grade students in a different school district. I continue to move forward with learning and teaching. I enjoy teaching and learning from students. I feel everyone has something to share and assist with understanding different beliefs, cultures and ideas. I strive to teach to all modalities.

I love working one on one with students, from elementary school to college level. It is such an extraordinary feeling to pass on a love of reading and writing to a child, or to watch an older student recognize that they can master a subject and succeed. I strongly believe in cross-disciplinary education, wherein students can apply what they've learned in one subject to another. I believe in fostering creativity and individuality as well as proper grammatical construction. After working for many years with children from underprivileged backgrounds, the merits of bibliotherapy became exceedingly apparent, and more than anything, I hope that my tutoring enables others to love reading and writing. In 2005, I closed down a foster care agency that I had owned and directed for over ten years. I took a trip around the world with my family, and returned to Boulder intent on doing work that I

I have never taught a subject, physics, mathematics or philosophy, at a level that was beyond the abilities of any student who really wanted to master the material, and I don't think I'd be interested at teaching at that level. Many students are not able to master these subjects in school, but quite often it is not due to a lack of desire on their part, but instead a lack of sufficient preparation due most often to poor prior instruction. I have always been successful in helping students I tutor in overcoming their deficiencies in this area, regardless of the subject. I wanted very much to teach at the Liberal Arts College level but was unable to secure a full-time, permanent position. In pursuit of this goal, I have completed an MS in Physics, all the coursework necessary for a MS in Mathematics, an MA in Philosophy, and I am working to complete my PhD in philosophy.

I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially. I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation.

I believe that if I can understand something, then everyone else can. I help students by convincing them that they can understand to build up confidence. Students and I work at what needs to be memorized such as formulas and basic concepts, learning to apply and work with these basics step by step, and at the same time, as I watch, strengthening weak areas. I often times use diagrams as needed and supply additional material. Some years ago a friend told me that volunteer help was really needed for the adult GED program in our local area. I decided to give up time for two hours a week. When I begin the program it was really sad to see someone struggling over simple arithmetic problems, I was glad to help then. I also get a feeling of accomplishment when students show understanding and that understanding is reflected by an increase in homework scores and test scores. I have earned two ba

I attended college on an opera scholarship and finished my degree in English. I have a very diverse background which makes me able to relate to everyone I meet. I believe fully that every person has the ability to succeed, that all things are possible. I have been teaching for over five years, including running an at-risk school for middle-school and high-school students. I have taught (in no particular order) Mathematics, Reading, Art, Science, Social Studies, Singing, Music Theory and Appreciation, Literature, Logic, Philosophy, Writing, Poetry, and others, and my focus has always been upon the individual learner. I typically am able to move an individual up by multiple grade levels within a month in reading or mathematics. I believe that everything is interconnected, much like a spider web, and that if you can connect information to what interests a person, than learning can becom

To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to my students, and then prepare a complete lesson plan including clear goals and a concise agenda for day's topic,which will be shared with the students at the start of the lesson. During the next segment, I present and explain the chosen topic in enough detail to provide a foundation for the class to then be able to engage in a variety of interactive,skill mastery activites, designed to further clarify the subject in as many different ways as are necessary to meet the various learning styles and needs of all the students present. I have been teaching in both classroomas well as one-on-one settings here in the US as well as Europe and South East Asia for over 20 years. My students have been of all abilities and
