Homework Help Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Howard, CO

I earned a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio State University in 1984. My subjects of passion were math and science and I enjoy working with children who struggle in those areas. I have home schooled my son through the end of 12th grade and he was ready for college freshman classes at age 15. Starting in his second grade year, we were joined by a student who has learning disabilities. He also thrived in the tutorial teaching environment. My desire is to work with children who really desire to learn but need that extra time and encouragement to succeed. I have experience working with both audio/visual learners and a kinesthetic/tactile learner. The kinesthetic/tactile learner had learning disabilities akin to ADD, but still did very well in the small group environment. I believe that children who want to learn will do so given the proper setting and sufficient time to succeed. I h

I worked at Moorpark College as an ESL and Writing Tutor, helping students discover ways to identify and clarify ideas, refine a topic, outline ideas, and develop the skills needed to work independently. I have my BA from Scripps College in both English and History. I have significant experience tutoring within the humanities, but also German, math and the sciences. I started college as a Biology major, so I have a firm grounding in mathematics and the sciences, which I have bolstered to prepare for graduate school in Architecture. I was a Jumpstart (AmeriCorps) team leader, which involved implementing early childhood curriculum and promoting skill building for at-risk preschool children. 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 w

A life long love of learning has influenced me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and more recently, a Master’s degree in Human Relations with an emphasis in counseling. The completion of these degrees was accomplished around the responsibilities of being in the US Army but my determination and flexibility enabled me to eventually achieve my educational goals. My experience in the US Army also provided an excellent opportunity to interact with a very diverse group of people. I have mentored and trained people of different ages who had different learning styles. I believe learning should be fun regardless of one’s age and I will strive to make reading a fun as possible for each child I tutor. Reading for pleasure or to successfully complete a variety of assignments is very important to academic achievement and certainly enhances our personal lives. I believe all children can

I tend towards a "supporting /coaching" style when teaching. Although there is no one best style for all situations, this style highlights the value of encouraging independent thinking, problem solving, and ownership for learning. It’s my goal not just to dispense information to students, but to coach them to turn the information into knowledge and eventually wisdom (21st Century learning strategy). I am proficient at discerning between ability (skill or talent) and motivation (willingness to learn) in order to better guide a learner towards success. Finally, I am a firm believer that all students can learn and strive to make a difference in their lives (see experience). One of my key strengths as a science and math teacher is that after receiving BS & MS chemistry degrees, I’ve spent over 20 years as an industrial scientist (Allied Signal Aerospace, Eastman Kodak, & Ford).
