Tutor with 13 years experience

I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with both children and adults. I am very good at establishing rapport particularly with children who are struggling and with ESL. My goal as a tutor is to give my students the skills and strategies they need to be successful and feel good about themselves as independent learners. I use a variety of engaging activities that capture the student's imagination and interest, while at the same time staying focused on their particular needs.
I am a retired Boulder valley teacher and I have taught from the preschool to college level for over 20 years. Most recently, I worked as an ESL and reading teacher. My training was modeled after reading recovery and involved one year of supervised teaching one-on-one with children who were struggling readers. The goal of this training is to help children work with their strengths as readers, rather than focusing on ... read more

My teaching style revolves around the specific learning needs of students because each person not only learns differently but has specific strengths and weakness. As teachers it is our job to meet the needs of all learners. I do not believe in presently material in one way, or one way all the time.
I am a graduate of both the University of Colorado and Adams State College. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Education as well as a Initial Teacher's license. I have experience as a volunteer tutor in social studies and math, a paid tutor in reading, a student teacher, and as a substitute for the last year and a half. I also have experience as a mentor to young people through the YMCA.

In my past I have taught many years as a tennis instructor and ski instructor. I also taught at a Federal correctional Institution in Englewood, Colorado in their Education Department in 1990 and 1991. i tutored inmates for their 8th grade equivalency as well as several others through their GED's. In 2002 through 2004 I also was the training officer for Star West Aviation. My teaching style was, and always has been to use humor and patience to bring my students along and to achieve where they had failed in the past. I found, especially in the prison system, that people achieve best when you make the work interesting and also within the student's ability. No one wants to feel stupid and there is always a tremendous joy in even grown adults when they "get it."
In 1975 I had been teaching tennis for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department for a year and elected to a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During and after my college years, I have always had an interest in helping others become better writers. For three years I worked as a tutor at Alfred University's writing center. I also have eight years of experience teaching junior high English at a rigorous school. The school I teach in has a back-to-basics curriculum with a focus on the rules of grammar and writing. I not only taught in the classroom, but also dedicated my time after school to tutoring individual students.
I believe that all students can achieve in an academically and behaviorally rigorous environment. With the help of parental involvement and tutoring, and without watering down curriculum, any child can be successful if the effort is made. Most of my experience is in teaching classes that are textbook-focused and teacher-driven, although I am open to other styles as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 g ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began as an English major then graduated in Physics with honors, cutting edge research experience in both academia and industry, as a published writer, photojournalist and poet. As a result, I can understand why some very intelligent people who perform well with the arts can sometimes be frustrated by the math and sciences, and vice versa. I have previous experience as a private tutor and trainer in industry settings. I have researched alternative energy and biomedical devices so I can answer the question “Will I ever use this?” by citing real world examples. I teach physics, multiple forms of math and writing. I enjoy watching a student’s face light up with that “Now I get it!” expression.
My style is patient, respectful, fair and adaptive. The goal is to find what works well for the student, not take a rigid one-size-fits-all approach that a classroom may employ. I start loo ... read more

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

The one thing that I learned from my four years teaching religious studies to first graders is that patience is the key to learning. Every child is different and in a classroom setting, you can see the difference in reading and writing levels. I enjoyed the challenge that these unique situations arose. I believe that reading and writing are two of the most important skills a child can master for the development of their minds. Through educational relationships of teacher and student, as well as, teacher and parent(s) a child’s mind can grow and evolve.
Prior to attending school at SUNY Old Westbury, I had already taught religious studies to first graders during my time at high school. There I had to help students with their reading and writing, as well as keep a calm and composed classroom setting. While attending SUNY Old Westbury I worked in the writing center tutoring stud ... read more
