Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Glen Haven, CO

Flexible, down-to-earth -- I try to figure out how YOU learn best. I am a retired college/university professor, and have been tutoring actively for the last six years (privately, as well as in a mentoring program at a community college). My tutoring experience has focused primarily upon mathematics, statistics, writing, Test Prep (e.g., ACT,SAT, GRE, math placement tests), chemistry and economics. Students have told me that I explain otherwise difficult material (especially in mathematics), in a down-to-earth and commonsense manner that makes sense intuitively.

I've taught business related courses at three different high schools in the Northern Colorado area for seven years that include: accounting (also taught at AIMS Community College) business economics, general economics, AP microeconomics, AP macroeconomics, computer business applications, video production, web design, principles of business, marketing, sports and entertainment marketing, word processing, business presentations, entrepreneurship, international business, finance, and college prep classes through AVID. In addition, I have over ten years of "real-world" experience as a financial advisor, banker, tax collector, retail manager, staffing manager and medical sales. I'm easygoing and adaptable to different learning styles. As a lifetime learner, I always believed in differentiated teaching was a must when dealing with students with so many varied backgrounds - so it all depends on

I have taught high school Accounting, Finance, Computer Applications, Web Design classes for the past 11 years. I do have experience teaching Accounting at the junior college level as well. In 2004, I was chosen Teacher-of The-Year by my colleagues and students. I am proficient in teaching job skills, study skills, as well as college preparation exams. I have served on the school district's curriculum review board, Faculty Advisory Board and am a member of the Society of CPA's. Teaching in a major metropolitan school district has allowed me to teach among a very diverse population. I use a variety of teaching strategies and assess my students' progress regularly. I have extensive training in measuring the learning needs of students. My strength in teaching stems from maintaining a positive learning environment, teaching at levels my students are comfortable with, and encouraging hig

My teaching style varies depending on the problem material and the student involved. I believe it is important to show the student how they can solve their problem, not for me to solve it for them. This often involves backing up to make sure that they have the basics firmly understood before trying to conquer more advanced principles. I also believe that students learn better if shown how the problem realtes to real life rather than just theory. With twenty years of accounting experience in a variety of industries, I have hands on experience to help students understand the realities of accounting along with the theory. I have taught at Aims Community College for one semester, and two sessions at IBMC. I have also mentored staff in most of my position; encouraging their growth and success, even when it meant losing a good employee to go back to school. While in school I also did sig

As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that other students came to for guidance with difficult topics, from mathematical equations to evolutionary theory. Since I earned my BS in wildlife biology, I have taught in many capacities, including as a substitute teacher and as a trainer for new employees. I have taught discouraged children to read and fostered latent talents. As a tutor for the Interfaith Refugee Ministry, I worked with children and adults from all over the world, including a woman from Zimbabwe who was studying to earn her GED, but struggled just to create a complete sentence in English. After meeting with her for a few short months she had become a capable essayist and passed the test on her first attempt. My teaching sty

I would describe my teaching style as loving, caring and understanding. I know that everyone is unique and has different capabilities. I try to reach out to all of my students. Everyone is good at something. Sometimes it takes time to bring the best out in students. Patience is key! I try to bring in outside materials and relate the topic to everyday circumstances and situations. If students can relate, they will store the new information into their long-term memory. Another concept I follow is that of Practice makes Perfect!! When I worked for Junior Achievement of Greater Birmingham from the Summer of 2005 until the Summer of 2006, I was also exposed to teaching economics in elementary schools. I truly enjoyed this and loved how these young children improved their understanding of basic economic concepts due to my teaching abilities. I moved to Colorado and entered graduate school supp

Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct to excel in life. Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success wit

My teaching style is patient and acknowledges that it often takes a number of times for a student to understand concepts. I tend to approach mathematic problems is several ways to give a chance for the student to grasp a concept. I allow questions and offer advice. I encourage determination and dedication in students because I believe success is more work than anything else. I used to own an educational products company for nine years. During this time a tutored students. I was an honor student in college and in my career I applied mathematical models for business. I offer significant, tangible real life applications of math that will help students see value in there education.

As the result of three college degrees (BS, MBA, and EdD) plus 20 years as a college professor and researcher/analyst, I possess extentive experience teaching and using statistics, algebra, business math, research skills, report writing, and a variety of business disciplines. A 30 year passion for history has resulted in an encyclopedic knowledge of American and world history. Although I do not possess a credential in history, I have been told that what I know and the manner in which I present it makes it fascinating for the listener. I am not the boring, egg-head type, just a regular guy who will probably show up in blue jeans, who is enthusiastic, and who will set you/your student at ease right away. I do indeed love to teach. My approach is relaxed, well-prepared, encouraging, and humorous when appropriate. I prefer interactive communications. My passion for the subject matter is ob

My teaching style reflects my personality and that is comfortable and confident. Peoples' minds are most open to learning when they are comfortable with their situation, surroundings, and the people they are interacting with. Being confident in yourself will lead to confidence in your students. As a lifelong learner I have a unique perspective on how difficulties inside and outside of school can effect learning. I earned by B.S. in Business when I was 31 years old and I am now in the process of earning my Masters Degree. During this time I have aquired the skills needed to become succesful in learning and I am eager to share these skills with others. My ultimate goal is to instruct college classes to help others make thier stars shine.

My tutoring style is that of thorough explanation. I don't give the answers but, rather, coach the individual to determine the answers on his/her own and then provide the theory as to why the answer is correct. I am very compassionate, cheerful, and outgoing, and those personality traits, as well as my passion for learning, teaching and interacting with children of all ages come through in my instruction. I don't think any questions are stupid or unnecessary; rather, I welcome and encourage questioning, as I feel that doing so is an integral part of the learning process. My only formal tutoring experience was during my high school years as a reading tutor for middle school students attending an at-risk school in Tulsa, OK. That said, I have guided, mentored and coached countless fellow students during my college career as well as professionals who have worked either with or for me du

I’ve never bought into the argument that some kids just can’t do math. There is plenty of truth that some learn math much quicker and easier than others, but with a good work ethic and plenty of encouragement all kids are capable of learning these sciences. I feel the most important thing to do as a teacher is to stay positive, and try to somehow relate the math problems to real life situations. When correcting a student, it’s vital to carefully choose your words, for a harsh response will demoralize the student’s spirit and desire to learn. As a recent CSU-Pueblo graduate with a mathematics major and a double minor in both physics and economics, I feel I have plenty of education for this position. While never having been paid by an actual tutoring service, I have helped friends and other students through challenging courses ranging from algebra to calculus and even statistics for a

I believe all children are capable of mastering any subject given the proper dedication. My goal as a tutor is to lead a child to the euphoria of gaining skills needed to obtain a beneficial education. While each child is different, I prefer to have the child review each subject prior to meeting with me and note any particular areas where the child is having difficulty. In this manner the child and I do not waste time discussing items the child understands and we can focus on problem areas. I first tutored my peers during high school in two subjects in which I excelled, physics and algebra. In undergrad the tables were turned as I was tutored in electro-magnetism (physics). My BS in Electrical Engineering gives me not only the skills to be proficient in the sciences and math, but also various social studies and English classes. I attended a Jesuit university where the goal upon grad

Four years tutoring at the undergraduate college level when I was an undergraduate student myself. This includes calculus 1&2&3 and college algebra. Also physics, chemistry and biology. I perused a double major of pre medicine and electrical engineering at the undergraduate level. I needed some extra money and found a lot of satisfaction in helping others and I found myself to be good at it and still tutor co-workers today. In addition I have done tutoring as a working professional for new college hires and junior staff for about 30 years. In my opinion every student learns in a different way giving his or her own approach to developing an understanding of new unfamiliar knowledge. Also these same students shift their methods depending upon the material being introduced and discussed. It is for this reason that I seek to first try to carefully understand the students learning style an
