I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Psychology in Educational Leadership (projected graduation 10/2015) at University of the Rockies. I have a total of thirteen years in the business industry, including eight years in financial services, four years running my own businesses. I have been a team mentor and leader, regional mentor, trainer, and for the past 2 ½ years I have been an instructor and tutor at a local college. I am always researching and learning new ways to interact with my students and motivate them towards reaching their full learning potential. My instruction specialties include business, project management, finance, and psychology classes. In my time as an instructor, I have developed the skills necessary to work with a diverse group of students from various backgrounds and with differentiating educational requirements and learning styles.

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 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 been in the education field for over 20 years. In 1995 I built my own art studio working with adults and children.

I love teaching, especially the dialog and relationship that can be developed in its context! I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning. I have been very fortunate to have had many in my own life that have made the same investment in me, which has, inturn, influenced me to teach in the same way. I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education. In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management. In education, my areas of study have been: psychology, interpersonal communication, western civilization, literature and writing, as well as ancient languages, including: Hebrew and Koine Greek. I have taught many classes in these

My desires to make an impact on someone’s life have led me to develop a teaching style based on passion. I have become dedicated to making an impact on every student’s life. I strive to motivate the students to explore themselves and expand their mental boundaries. Inclusion is also a significant part of my classroom environment. I value inclusion because every student, regardless of ability, is capable of learning, and I cater to an environment that encourages and embraces diversity. I believe that every individual learns differently; I know that I would be doing a great disservice to my students if I taught the material only one way. My classroom is enriched with my passion and desire to teach. As a Valedictorian of my 2001 high school class, I went on to the University of Colorado, Boulder to earn a bachelor degree in Accounting. This degree has allowed me to gain extensive kno

I have always enjoyed working with kids. I was fortunate to land a long-term substitute teaching position in a Special Education classroom for almost a year. I was responsible for teaching small groups of students with learning and behavioral disabilities, and basic reading and math skills. While this was an incredibly challenging job, it was also immensely rewarding and helped me develop a strong understanding and compassion for kids of all ability levels. As well, I learned how to connect quickly and easily with kids and to create an environment where learning could happen in an easy and fun manner. In addition to my direct teaching experience, I also worked as a yearbook rep for Herff Jones Yearbooks. In this job, I was responsible for teaching groups of middle-schoolers and high-schoolers everything from how to write good copy, to how to manage a staff. I have substituted nume

I am the daughter of two special education teachers and come from a long line of teachers in my family so I have grown up with great respect for teaching as well as both the frustrations and rewards that come with teaching children with either learning disabilities or who simply need a little extra help in a subject. As a result, I understand the impact a single person can have in a child's educational experience. I believe that if given the right opportunity and the right learning environment, every child can find and share the joy I have in learning and overcoming challenges. My teaching style depends on the student and to what approaches he or she is most receptive. As an Ivy League graduate, I have always been driven to excel at whatever I put my mind toward and hold formal education in high regard. Throughout my graduate studies at Columbia, I was part of the Harlem Tutorial Pro

I am convinced that each and every person can learn when given the proper tools, opportunity and the support to take them to the next level. The key is learning what motivates, excites and propels each person to the next level and what the possibilities are for their potential. I cherish working with students either one-on-one or in small groups, so their progress can be monitored. I teach using creative methods and believe that learning can and should be fun. I also know that the best teachers and tutors are those who are passionate about their subject matter and about bringing students to their full potential. This is where the true results are experienced. As a lover of learning and education, and also all things international, I have always been interested in helping others learn.

I have been involved with the First Tee Program for over 10 years now. This program teaches children life lessons; such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship through playing golf. This program is nationwide and has developed many young children into community leaders, respected business men/women and college athletes. I have been a tutor with this program since 1998. I believe it is very important for young children to focus on school and education, but also get involved in activities where they can meet people and begin forming life long relationships at an early age. I absolutely love working with kids. I believe it is very important for a tutor not to simply tell a student how to do things, but to show them and then through questions and developing a consistent road map make them come up with the answer themselves. There is a huge difference between pretending to know how to d

Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allowed me to examine a comprehensive body of knowledge that deals with the structure of our country, our belief systems, and our government. Having recently graduated from UCDHSC’s MBA program with an Entrepreneurial track, I leave the university equipped with a new set of skills. Most of the curriculum was heavy on the writing side, forcing me to take a hard look at my grammatical skills, but allowing me an opportunity to grow and learn. The volume of written work over the entire MBA Program was massive, but it allowed me to hone my research skills and refine my writing style. Having many integrated collaborative group projects over the duration of my attendance familiarized me to the team member mentality prevalent in our current work environments. I have tutored pupils in English, math, social sciences, physics, mathematics,

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

I have been helping students for several years, primarily in the areas of math, accounting and other business topics. I also have experience with helping people use their computers more effectively, especially with regard to Microsoft products. I practice a collaborative style, one where I team with the student to achieve one or more goals. I push the student to seek the answers, helping them find the resources that are most useful. I enjoy all age levels, but trend toward middle, upper, and college levels.

I am committed to growing my students in all levels of knowledge and skill in language arts: literature, composition, grammar, etc. I enjoy creating lesson plans that both challenge and develop the thinking skills of my students. I have genuine concern for students and develop good rapport with them through my teaching style. I am well organized and I have a dedicated work ethic. My goal is to inspire my students to have a love of language that will last for a lifetime.

I am patient and open to a variety of teaching and learning styles. I work by positively encouraging kids to want to learn and by finding what their "hot buttons" are to avoid instilling fear into them. When I teach kids, they actually want to learn and the results have been great! I am a bright, patient, and good teacher. I have been tutoring professionally and on a volunteer basis for many years. I am a business professional who has an MBA and an undergraduate degree in liberal arts. Both degrees are from top ranked institutions. I enjoy working with children!
