Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ignacio, CO

I believe in hands-on learning wherever possible and bring relatable analogies and experience to my teaching to create a worthwhile experience for the learner that will keep them engaged. I believe in having a strong work-ethic and personal responsibility from my students- ultimately, their success is up to them, not their teacher or their parents however, I will guide them and nurture their learning experience. I am a level II certified secondary teacher with a Masters in Education from the University of New Mexico. I currently hold a secondary teaching license in Science & Health in both New Mexico and Colorado (I am not certified in Math). I have over 15 years of teaching experience along side a unique background working in the vast field of science. I have served the Albuquerque public school community for the past 6 years with the last 3 years teaching chemistry & health at a New Te

I have recently graduated from the University of New Mexico with a degree in foreign languages (German, Spanish and French) and evolutionary anthropology. I have a commanding knowledge of the English language and also have a semester's experience working with the UNM newspaper, the Daily Lobo, including a brief time as the editor of the news desk. During my undergraduate career I studied abroad in Germany for a semester, as well as participated in an internship in Nicaragua for 5 months. These two experiences greatly increased my understanding of the German and Spanish languages and cultures. Very open to however the student(s) believes they will learn best. I will take note of the student's specific needs and modify my teaching style accordingly, creating a personalized plan/style.

In the year 2001 I began a teacher preparation program at the University of Northern Colorado. I managed to complete the teacher education program in 2007 with a 3.85 GPA. In fulfillment of my teaching dream we moved to Pagosa Springs, CO. in the winter of 2006-2007. I obtained my New Mexico Teaching license in the year of 2008 and obtained an endorsement in mathematics that enabled me to teach middle school math as a "Highly Qualified Teacher of Mathematics". My first year of teaching was as a 7th and 8th grade math teacher in a Middle School. Now I am studying advanced mathematics for teaching secondary mathematics. My greatest learning experiences were the result of inquiries by my students. A student must master mathematical operations with: whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and percents before more abstract mathematical concepts such as algebra, geometry; trigonometry,

I believe it is best to offer guidance, and allow the student to go through the process of discovery. Things learned independently are much more prized and valuable. Of course, one cannot let them flounder too long so that discouragement sets in. And it is best to find out what they like, and to work with that as much as possible. While in New York, I worked for two years as a teacher of Science at a Junior High school in the Bronx. There I was awarded "Rookie-Teacher-of-the-Year." For one year, I also tutored after school to earn extra money. I have also taught in California and Santa Fe, NM. My passion is to be an International speaker on the topics of Metaphysics and Spirituality.

I believe all students are capable of creativity and learning, and that education is a two-way process, where students and teachers collaborate to advance one another's understanding of the world. My style reflects that teaching and discovery work together to produce superior educational outcomes. Patience and understanding are very natural to me and are reflected by my easy-going demeanor. Often many approaches exist to solve challenging exercises so it is important to demostrate varying methods during instruction. I also enjoy incorporating technology to cement and augment understanding. I understand that a few great teachers can make all the difference to students and I strive to be such an individual. Driven towards excellence in education, I have earned a bachelor's degree in geography with an emphasis in computer information systems. The broadness of geography as a field has ser

My teaching style is unique to each student due to the fact that everyone learns in different ways. I do stay consistent in coaching through how to problem solve because I don’t want my students to become dependent upon me. They need to learn how to utilize all resources when studying both independently and in a group setting. At San Juan College I work with students who have struggle with math and most of which lack confidence in their ability to succeed in the subject. I focus on giving reassurance when due yet also being persistent in study habits and it’s a joy to watch the student evolve throughout the semester. With a BBA in Finance from the University of New Mexico I have a high appreciation for education and I enjoy contributing to those who want to achieve degrees. I tutored financial management to my peers for three semesters when I was a University student myself. I have been

I enjoy working one on one with a wide variety of students - those with solid backgrounds in mathematics, as well as those who have had difficulties with mathematics their entire lives. In fact, I believe that one of the biggest reasons a child/teen/adult needs tutoring in mathematical sciences often stems from something missing in their early years of learning math. I can tutor any aged person. I enjoy getting the student to relate - what is often an uncomfortable subject for them - to the real world and to enhance their own personal future opportunities. I work hard to get the student to become self-reliant and to teach them that "just concentrating and doing it" is half of the battle. I have a lot of patience for those trying to do their best, even if math or statistics just isn't their "thing". Having earned a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from one of the top statistics schools in the count
