A Little Bit About Me...

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...

I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Math classes included Calculus I, II, and III, Differential Equations and Matrices, and Engineering Math. My MS in Engineering Management included several classes in Statistics and Probabilities. I tutored middle school students 12 hours per week for two years at Ramstein Middle School, Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
I believe that each student is different, and that the best teaching method differs with each student. Some students respond better to being challenged while others will require smaller steps. The goals of the students also vary, some needing only to pass while others need a solid foundation in anticipation of further study. I believe I can tailor instruction to the students' needs.

I graduated this spring with honors from Carleton College. For my senior thesis in Math, three of my colleagues and I designed a Challenge Math curriculum for fifth grade students. Together we compiled our lessons into a book, and once a week each we taught a small group of students. When I moved to Boulder this summer, I began tutoring CU students, adults taking online courses, and high school students. I also have experience tutoring for the SAT, ACT, and GRE.
My teaching style depends on the student. Some students need me to explain the subject material to them rather than read it from the book, while other students benefit most if they work through a problem and then ask me a question when they get stuck. Though regardless of the student, I always ask questions as we go, because I know that students learn best when they engage with the material.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach with passion and enjoyment, which has always proved conducive to the learning process. I, myself, have always enjoyed being a student, and realized what qualities in teachers I found most effective. Patience, competency, articulation and good-natured humor go a very long way in education and I believe I possess those traits. I have worked with mainstream students, Special Education students, and Deaf students in a variety of educator roles from straight tutoring to camp counseling. Through these experiences, I have realized that a teacher must have flexibility and creativity in how they present information, as everyone has a different learning style. The responsibility lies with the educator to find that style and help the student reach his/her highest potential, and I feel confident in my ability to do so.
In all my endeavors I strive for variety. My collegiate caree ... read more

I strongly believe that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is capable of learning any level of science and mathematics. The key to teaching science and mathematics is to focus on the student's individual strengths and learning style. I am good at approaching a subject from different angles to find one that is most effective for each student. I have a great deal of patience, a positive, easy-going attitude, and a genuine enthusiasm for science and math that is always evident in my teaching. I am passionate about helping people learn and I am ready to work with each student's individual needs to deliver the best educational experience possible.

I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the subject matter, which prevented the students from asking any more questions in class. It is also important to know why the student, or his or her parents, believes that he or she needs a tutor.
Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite vari ... read more

I have been helping students for several years, primarily in the areas of math, accounting and other business topics. I also have experience with helping people use their computers more effectively, especially with regard to Microsoft products.
I practice a collaborative style, one where I team with the student to achieve one or more goals. I push the student to seek the answers, helping them find the resources that are most useful. I enjoy all age levels, but trend toward middle, upper, and college levels.

I've recently tutored math and general science for UpwardBound, a program designed to inspire and give the tools necessary to under-privileged high school students to become first generation college students. Throughout my study of math and physics, I've found that most people that are unable to do these subjects are limited by their own phobias and that if they are simply explained in the right way anyone can feel comfortable with frightening subjects such as math and physics.
In teaching math and physics I find that most student's heads start to spin when looking at numbers, so I do my best to use analogies to describe a mathematical process, then once a student feels comfortable with the analogy they can apply this analogy to solve problems with numbers. Again stemming from overcoming phobias of math or physics being the most important step in learning, I try to make the complic ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Ever since working my first teaching internship as a junior in high school, I have gained a passion for teaching and helping others. After earning my B.A. in Psychology from Connecticut College, I worked for one school year as a teacher and tutor at a public school in upstate NY. Most of the students I worked with either had a learning disability or were absent from school due to suspension or health condition. After finding my niche working with students with cognitive disabilities, i gained my M.S.Ed in Rehabilitation Counseling. Although the majority of my tutoring experience has been with students aged 12-16 years, I have worked as a high school counselor and disability coordinator at New York University and Columbia University, respectively.
As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring pr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I recently graduated from Connecticut College with a BA in Mathematics, with minors in French and Philosophy. I received a departmental math prize each year of my college career, and served as a math tutor, as well as proofread French papers for other students. At the same time, I worked in the Career Enhancing Life Skills office, was the Master Electrician for Theater Services, and participated in club soccer, orchestra, and other campus activities. I particularly enjoyed my role as a dorm leader: I was a Governor during my sophomore and junior years, and promoted student involvement in dorm activities. I was also a Housefellow (a paraprofessional Residence Advisor) my senior year, ensuring the physical and mental health of all students in the dorm, in coordination with other departments on campus.

I strongly believe in learning by doing. I have never given a lecture or taught something 1on1 without providing practice problems or peppering students with questions. The hardest part about this is getting students to understand that it is okay to ask and answer questions. Most students I have encountered are used to simply looking at the teacher but never really interacting with them. If I ask a question and nobody gets it, I rephrase it, reteach the section that led up to the question and generally try to understand why the question is not being answered. Aside from some initial amount of memorization, students need to learn how to think through concepts and ideas, and the best way to do that, regardless of subject, is ask them things.

I love the interaction between a teacher and their students. For me teaching is a form of self discovery. My students are like mirrors in which I see my strengths and weaknesses. I constantly learn from my students and I grow as they grow. I feel as individuals we are limitless and teaching reminds me of it as I see my students grow. My students in turn gain confidence about themselves through the same process of discovery. I am a great believer in that education is a tool to learn about yourself and to exercise self belief and confidence in yourself. I not only teach subjects, but also teach students to learn about themselves.
As a Computer Science graduate, I have had extensive experience in Mathematics, physics, and computers. As I have always been passionate about teaching, I always taught while attending school. Teaching and tutoring experience: - High school calculus ... read more

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with two bachelor's degrees in elementary education and psychology. Throughout my studies at CU I taught at several different (and diverse) elementary scools in the front range area. I've taught second through fifth grades. I first started tutoring middle school students when I was in high school, and my tutoring continued throughout college. I was given an award of excellence on the Praxis II exam (required for teacher licensure). My writing skills and ability to differentiate instruction are some of my stronger skills due to extensive practice and refining throughout college.

I really enjoy teaching. There's two things in particular I find especially amazing: The first is working with a student and hear them say, "Oh, that's what it's all about! I get it now." Seeing that sudden "click" when a difficult subject is suddenly clear is absolutely golden. The second is being able see the improvement they've made. In order to see this improvement, I work patiently and strive to always encourage my students through every step of the learning process. My teaching style tends to be energetic and enthusiastic; if the teacher isn't excited about the topic, the student won't be, either. Every child can reach their potential given the right environment.
