A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style revolves around the specific learning needs of students because each person not only learns differently but has specific strengths and weakness. As teachers it is our job to meet the needs of all learners. I do not believe in presently material in one way, or one way all the time.
I am a graduate of both the University of Colorado and Adams State College. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Education as well as a Initial Teacher's license. I have experience as a volunteer tutor in social studies and math, a paid tutor in reading, a student teacher, and as a substitute for the last year and a half. I also have experience as a mentor to young people through the YMCA.

I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation.
I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially.

I enjoy teaching and spreading the knowledge that I have learned. Children of all ages have such a developing mind and it is a pleasure to be a role-model for them. I am humble and patient, trustworthy and kind. I teach with pictures, drawings, model sets, notebook paper, books, and computer simulations. I would love for the opportunity to tutor in the field of math and science.
I have been studying in the scientific field for over 7 years at the college level and obtained pre-pharmacy status from a community college as well as an Associates of Applied Science Degree from the same community college majoring in Chemical Processing Technology.

More About This Tutor...

My general teaching and learning philosophy is that every child has the potential for greatness, but that proper guidance and experiences are needed to reach full potential. Children are not just empty vessels waiting to be filled, but bring unique dimensions and experiences into any educational setting, which affect individual desire and motivation to learn and participate. The varied backgrounds of all children must be addressed and included in the curriculum to maximize each child’s learning potential and scholastic enjoyment. Even the youngest of children is constantly creating, adapting to, and analyzing his/her reality through active learning; thus any educational program should follow in this way. Educational programs should explore basic skills for successful daily living and future scholastic/life success, but should also allow for child interests to mold lessons and act ... read more

A recent graduate of Brown University, I am well accustomed to pursuing education excellence. In my time at Brown, I earned a 3.96 overall GPA and a 4.0 GPA in my area of study. My diverse coursework allowed me to learn material in many subject areas, as well as develop strong study and organizational skills, time management ability, and exceptional work ethic. My researching skills were employed on a daily basis in my studies, as well as my ability to capture those facts in concise and comprehensive writing. In high school, I tutored student at an hourly rate and in college volunteered to tutor inner-city children. Further, I spent countless hours over the past 8 years with fellow student, tutoring them and aiding in their academic success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned patience and understanding in my trips abroad as well as my time spent with the developmentally disabled here in Colorado. My technique mostly stems from understanding how the student learns and then taking the time to structure lessons that best utilize the particular student's skill set and preferences. I feel that through my experience, I can now meet the needs of almost any learner who possesses a desire to gain knowledge and better themselves.
My degree in English served me well in my two periods of teaching in South Korea and Chile. In the former, I taught young children through high school age English in private companies in and around the greater Seoul area. In Chile, I mostly taught adults at the corporate executive level, but also did some tutoring of younger children.

A Little Bit About Me...

I received a BA in Psychology, cum laude, from Boston University. Previously, I attended Simmons College in Boston where I majored in Psychology. While a freshman at Simmons, I volunteered to supervise preschoolers at the first on site day care center in the United States (Stride Rite Shoe Factory). As a teacher’s aide at Meadowlark Home School, I taught severely mentally and emotionally handicapped (SIEBD/SLIC) adolescents. Daily activities incorporated both one-on-one and group experiences, a dance therapy program which I designed, and behavior modification procedures. As the Lead of the Children’s Department at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Littleton, CO, I utilized my expert knowledge of children’s literature to find the right book for each child. In addition, I instructed parents how to teach their children to read at home.
It is my belief that all children can lea ... read more

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe everyone can learn it just takes time and focus. I am willing to help the child learn in whatever manner will help the best. I am a nice, patient and considerate person. My goal is to help the student achieve the best education possible. I believe that the best way to teach is with the use of all forms of learning material; i.e. textbooks, flash cards, visual aids. A few good educators can make a huge difference in a child’s ability to love the subject and understand it.

I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help.

I prefer an inductive approach to the teaching/learing event. Everyone can learn because everyone is learning constantly. Learning is exciting when it results in new insights and understanding about one's self and the world. I guide my students into discovery through the questions I ask of them. I can lecture when appropriate, giving new information as is helpful for the process, but mostly I guide the inner process of becoming aware of what one knows, assimilating new information, understanding what change that brings, and integrating the new into one's own mind and heart. It can mean leaving another way of thinking and knowing behind. This learning involves both the head and the heart.

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.
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.

My teaching style is to listen to what the person needs help with, and then to ask them what they already know about the subject. Next, I will show him or her to solve the problem, then ask him or her to try it himself or herself. If he or she has any questions, I will answer them. However, I think that it is best for the person to learn how to solve the problems with assistance from myself, but not to do all the work myself. Ultimately, I want the person to rely on his or her own knowledge in order to become more independent; I am only there to encourage and make any needed corrections.
