Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Golden, 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 believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach them that they can do anything if they put forth their best effort. I strive to create an environment where students can focus feel safe to take risks. With positive reinforcement I hope to encourage and motivate students as well as instill confidence in them. While I was attending college I worked in child care with a variety of ages preparing lessons for enrichment. I also taught as an adjunct professor for adult ESL at Aims Community College. After finishing my degree, I taught for five years at Wiggins Elementary in 2nd and 6th grade. I was trained in FAST reading program as well as many others for teaching reading and math. For the past two years, I have been living in the country of Macedoni

I enjoy working with students and have a high level of patience with each grade level. I am usually pretty laid-back and allow students leeway to have a bit of fun while they learn. I believe that without a little fun in their daily routines, students grow stagnant and bored easily. I enjoy feeling that I make a difference in student's lives. I have a substitute teaching license from the state of Colorado. I have been subbing for Denver Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District for over three years. I have worked with ages ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade.

When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of their students as an individual to assess what their strengths and weaknesses are. I believe in data driven assessments, but also in getting to know a student personally. The students know what they are good and not good at. They will be honest most of the time if they are comfortable with you. I believe in differentiation to the highest degree and practiced this in my alternative high school experience every single day. It is not fair to bore some students with information they already know and overwhelm others to the point of lowering their self esteem. To address each skill level is to know your students personally and academically. I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good t

During my undergraduate career, I was privileged to enroll into the Physiology department in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is one of 10 schools throughout the country that offer the physiology major to undergraduates. My BS degree is unique, and allowed me to continue to purse a part of medicine I have a strong passion for. I was able to complete a course in Muscle Biology, where we discussed everything from current muscle research to advancements in muscle technology. Along with my bachelor's degree, I received my personal training certification just last year. With this certification I have been able to put into practice what I have learned. Teaching has become a big passion of mine, and I have taught people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way--some visually, others verbally. I like to incorporate both into my teach

After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, I determined that I wanted to pursue a teaching career. I enrolled in the Master’s in Elementary Education program at the University of Phoenix. My work in elementary schools has been as a paraeducator, both as an instructional para with general classroom duties and as an intensive special needs para. This experience has allowed me to work with students with Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, and various other disabilities. I am currently student teaching in kindergarten, and will be graduating and moving to Colorado Springs at the end of May. I will begin teaching in August, but would love to spend some time tutoring during the summer! My teaching style is patient and caring, while being consistent with expectations.

I love to see a student light up when he realizes for the first time that he is capable of achieving success in an area that he has previously experienced failure. I understand that each person has his own way of learning and I am sensitive to those who need special attention or non-traditional forms of learning. My goal is to provide each student with the tools and knowledge to learn on their own. Incorporating basic study skills into a lesson is key to watching a student become an independent and lifetime learner. I believe that learning is fun and hopefully my enthusiasm and love for learning can help spark a similar love in my student. My level of academic excellence has led me to pursue a career in teaching. I have earned two degrees, AFA in Vocal Performance and BA in religion and philosophy which has demonstrated and expanded my experience, knowledge, and ability in the areas of f

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology/Human Services which gave me a lot of training in working one on one with individuals in many different ways. During college I worked part-time as a Spanish tutor for two semesters, helping college students. I also interned at a special needs school (K-8) for two semesters the following year. During the first semester of my internship I acted as a teacher's aide, helping students with their art skills. Throughout the second semester, I interned with the school social worker helping to facilitate group work. I also worked for the YMCA from October '05 through this January running a before school program for elementary students. These experiences have given me a wide range of skills working with different age groups in an educational setting. My tutoring skills are very similar to my everyday people skills, in that I believe that it is import

My teaching style is very personal. I try to teach from experience. I relate to children and listen to their concerns while encouraging their individual growth. It is very important to listen and then make them aware of their choices and their responsibility for their choices. It is also important to set an example through my own actions. I enjoy learning and feel that my enthusiam can be contagious. I get along very well with children. I have a gentle yet focused approach to learning. During my academic years I excelled in learning. As an undergraduate I conducted a thesis with four undergraduate assistants. I graduated with honors earning my BA in Psychology. As a drug prevention counselor I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages. I feel I could be of benefit to any child in need of assistance.

I am an experienced, passionate, and creative educator with a strong work ethic and communication skills. With over ten years of experience, in various capacities working with students in grades K-12, I am highly motivated and own a very positive attitude. I possess a deep commitment for excellence in the classroom and a strong belief in the value, importance, and individuality of each student. That belief fosters a dedication to try and bring out the best in each and every student I serve. Teaching at a large, high-performing public high school, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of social science courses. With over four years of in-class and tutoring experience, I obtained extensive knowledge in helping students with their overall writing and test preparation skills. I am very comfortable tutoring both within and outside my past teaching arenas.

My goal is to excite students about learning. I encourage my own children as well as those I teach in the classroom to focus first on finding at least one concept in each lesson that attracts them and about which they would like to know more. This philosophy helps to eliminate the student's perception that "I hate math" or "I'm not good at science." Secondly, I use text-to-self and text-to-world relationships to get students to recognize the broader application of subjects. Finally, I work hard to reach students with various learning styles (verbal, auditory, visual) and always make time for one-on-one reinforcement or re-teaching for students with special needs. As the daughter and sibling of educators, I have been teaching since I was 6 years old; I taught a 4-year old boy to write his name at an inner-city program. As a teenager I tutored a 9-year old girl in math. After graduatin

As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certification to teach biology and science. I have taught and tutored students with emotional and learning disorders in all subjects, all grades. I am a creative and patient learner, which informs my teaching style. I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original

As a child of a university professor and preschool director, education has always been a focal point of my life. I began teaching and tutoring during college, both in religious and secular settings. I have taught music, Hebrew and Judaic Studies to 3rd, 6th, and 9th graders. I also spent several months tutoring high school students in math, science, English and history. I strongly believe that the key to success in teaching is flexibility. Each and every student has a different style of learning and the successful teacher must be able to adapt to those styles. I believe that it is important to be patient and to meet students where they are. Students must be given constant positive feedback and motivation. When students know that I care about their education, they care as well.
