More About This Tutor...

I've taught English in India to predominantly Tamil speaking children grades first through sixth. I was also teaching mathematics and science for a semester. I have a lot of experience in the arts. I've done children's theater and worked with high school students in oral interp. I've acted in college theatre productions, and also had the chance to direct, stage manage, and work with stage production on multiple shows. I went to college for two years for theatre and a year for art. I have basic drawing and painting experience, as well as my own mixed media work that I have continued after leaving school. In my spare time I like to read about sustainable farming, natural herbs and their health benefits, social activism, religion, and culture.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! Took in high school, have actors for parents and have written creative stories since I could first write.

I have helped tutor AVID high school students when I was a senior at Cherry Creek High School. I enjoy helping the kids learn and believe that being a tutor would pay it forward since I had so much help from tutors. I always helped my friends out because I was in higher level classes than them some of the times. I also worked with tutors and know how much of a difference they can make. I'm currently studying at CSU and still work with friends on homework if they need help.
I believe in success. There is no guarantee someone will learn on the first try. It's all about enjoying the learning experience and positive reinforcement. I also believe in humor and think that it can help a lot in peoples difficult situations.

Need a fun, compassionate, patient, and understanding tutor?

Well, throughout my life, I have worked with fellow students to foster better understanding of class material both in myself and in my classmates. In addition to informal, unpaid cooperation in mastering class material, I have also held positions tutoring both as a freelance tutor and as an hourly employee of the Academic Advancement Center, a Trio Program run at Colorado State University. At this job, where I have worked for the past two years, I have tutored low-income, first-generation, and disabled students (both physical and learning disabilities) in a variety of subjects including Psychology, French, Composition, Sociology, and Spanish.
I tend to use the socratic method a lot to help my students arrive at their own conclusions and understanding of material, paired with some basic, interactive instruction when students do not already understand some of the material involved. ... read more

All students can learn.

I am a Love and Logic teacher; choice is the biggest driving force in my classroom. I give students the power to shape their learning and success by offering them choices, and using enforceable statements. My goal is that all students leave with a sense of accomplishment which has been shaped by them.
A licensed educator for 13 years, I have developed a deep understanding of students and what makes them motivated to learn. I appreciate the challenge of developing strategies to refocus student learning and make them more accountable and actively involved. No two students learn and develop skills in the same way and I embrace that by using tools to engage students where they are and then pushing them to discover where they can be. I have taught middle school social studies and literacy and enjoy the complexity and creativity of middle schoolers.

A Little Bit About Me...

Socratic.
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!).

English Teacher/Tutor/TESOL

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.
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.

Tutor with 13 years experience

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.
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.

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

I am passionate about helping students reach their academic goals. Through my own development of study skills through my education, I believe my methods will give students the confidence and grades they want and need to bring their academic and career aspirations to fruition. I know how overwhelming school and studies can be when one does not know how to properly prepare themselves for examinations, presentations, and standardized tests, and I will work with students to overcome the stress of these studies in order to really understand the material and be confident in pursuing their goals.
Through the completion of my Biological Sciences major, I became well-versed in a variety of subjects, ranging from biology and chemistry to calculus, statistics, and public speaking. I was able to hone in on a range of study skills that have proven to be successful for all age groups. I have ... read more
