PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Franktown, CO

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores. I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material. I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds.

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

I believe that all children have the potential to learn in whatever capacity they are given as long as a connection has been made with the child. Teachers need to look at each student individually and be able to capitalize on their strengths and weaknesses, rather than mold the student into a one size fits all lesson. All it takes for teachers to see some level of success is for them to be patient with their students and remember that all students learn at their own pace. Teachers entered this profession because they care about children and want to help and it is that basic principle that guarantees a successful student. I have spent the majority of my career working with students who have struggled to maximize their potential either because of their economic/home life situation (SES)or their inability to make meaningful connections with their teachers. I make it a priority to make the c

My teaching style is learning focused. We will review the material you are having difficulty with or I will present new material for you to learn. I will then give you exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the subject matter. These exercises can range from in-class writing to presentations on the course work. I like to emphasize critcal thinking in my teaching and will ask you to consider different views of issues. I have taught and tutored hundreds of cadets and helped them achieve their goal of graduating. I want to assist you in reaching your goals andI have the experience to make that happen--with your desire and willingness to work. As a former Associate Professor of Middle East History at the Air Force Academy, I had the privilege of teaching cadets in World, Middle East, and Military History. Last year I taught cadets English.

Throughout my educational career I have always enjoyed science classes. Due to this proficiency I was selected as a teacher's assistant for two undergraduate Biology classes. I also took 3 science based education classes. These classes were a great experience where we worked at a local high school with three exceptional science teachers. During the school year, I also taught a six week Saturday science experience to 4th -6th graders; then in the summer I taught at two different science camps. After college, I chose to become a dental student at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. My approach to tutoring is based on the belief that science is a fun and interesting subject. I always maintain a positive attitude and attempt to teach science without being boring. I have good communication skills and can work with students in a constructive, encouraging, and non-abrasiv

I love developing and fostering a positive, trusting relationship with my student. By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs. I firmly believe that a teacher must be both flexible and intuitive. Whether I am teaching through discovery or through direct instruction, I continually assess and respond to my student's level of understanding in learning the new material. It is through this dynamic learning environment that I am able to make math both accessible and rewarding. I thrive on the "Ah ha!" moments that build my student's confidence. Extremely driven to achieve academically, I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While completing my coursework, I gained real world experience applying high level mathematics as a research a

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 believe that challenge is the key to academic success. Every student can learn and acheive, but each child needs to be motivated differently. I relish the challenge of helping my students tap into their hidden intellectual resources. I love watching students get lost in a piece of literature or find themselves through the process of writing. I believe that editing, rewriting, and re-reading are key to success in the content areas of English, literature, and reading, and I pride myself on making these seemingly arduous tasks both fun and rewarding. Overall, I hope to leave a positive mark on all of my students' lives. During my time as an undergraduate, I worked as a writing tutor on campus. My work with fellow students prompted me to consider education as a career. After earning my bachelors degree in English, I spent some time working as a freelance writer and editor. During t
