A Little Bit About Me...

With seven and one half years of experience as a home school teacher of multiple grades, I not only possess the experience but the skills necessary to teach several different grade levels. Organization skills, lesson planning skills, time management, creativity, self-motivation, and most importantly a passion for teaching in a personable way are included among my qualifications as a teacher. Eight years of volunteering in public school settings has afforded me the opportunity to reach many children at their individual level. I thoroughly enjoy children, their creativity, and their inquiring minds. I relish the opportunity to enrich their learning experience with positive and inventive means.
As a teacher of multiple grades, I prefer a unit study approach, allowing each child to learn according to his own learning style. Prescribing to a system entitled the 4Mat SystemTM, ... read more

I graduated high school in the International Baccalaureate program with a 4.5 gpa and 30 college credits. I then went on to the University of Colorado starting out as a sophomore. I graduated 3 years later with a degree in Integrative Physiology. I have an extensive background in science and math. While at CU I was able to tutor children through a program called Reading Buddies where I would meet every week with them every week and read to them in English. Most of the children were mostly Spanish speaking and I would teach them English. Also throughout college I would meet and help others through various science subjects.
I love helping others learn and get through tough subjects. I loved homework all throughout school and would love a chance to be able to help others with theirs. I am very patient and want them to figure things out for themselves with my help. I will not simply te ... read more

In my opinion every student learns in a different way giving his or her own approach to developing an understanding of new unfamiliar knowledge. Also these same students shift their methods depending upon the material being introduced and discussed. It is for this reason that I seek to first try to carefully understand the students learning style and adjust my teaching style to match. Examples: Leaning by example, teacher solves a math problem for the student in a step-by-step approach with the benefit of why the teacher is using these particular steps and approach.
Four years tutoring at the undergraduate college level when I was an undergraduate student myself. This includes calculus 1&2&3 and college algebra. Also physics, chemistry and biology. I perused a double major of pre medicine and electrical engineering at the undergraduate level. I needed some extra money and foun ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps). I believe the best way to teach science is to make it a fun and inquisitive experience.
I hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado. This fellowship placed me in k-12 classrooms to aid in teaching sciene. During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology.

A Little Bit About Me...

Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success with education.
Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct ... read more

Having earned a master's in psychology, I have extensive knowledge in this area. I have worked on many papers and reports throughout my college years, so I have strong proofreading and grammar skills. I tutored in my high school in many different subject areas and currently help some of my clients with their schoolwork.
I enjoy working with youth to help them achieve success in many aspects of their lives. The one-on-one attention may be all a child needs to move forward when he/she is struggling in the classroom. I am a patient, detailed, and organized person. I have a great work ethic and strive to show youth that success can be achieved in many different forms. Finding the right motivator and "language" can make all of the difference in a confusing subject.

More About This Tutor...

I think that learning is subjective. Every person will have the opportunity to learn if they have an instructor that can meet their needs. I work well with children, young adults, and adults. I am patient and attentive. I believe that asking questions is the best way to find and address gaps in understanding and facilitate teaching the appropriate material.
As the graduate of a difficult field of science, I spent a great deal of time studying and developing better methods for studying. I have become very knowledgeable in science and applied science through my degree field. I have also spent much time reading and writing scientific articles, which has made me proficient in English, general literacy, and writing. Throughout my college career, I have been tutoring and leading study sessions in science.

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess both a B.S. degree in zoology/ biology and a M.S. degree in environmental health. I have a secondary science professional teaching license. I am adept at teaching science and math topics and I have had successful teaching experiences within all academic areas. One of my greatest strengths as a teacher is my ability to discern whether or not a student has understood a concept. I recognize that students learn through different methods and I know how to present complex information in a variety of ways so that a student grasps the topic. In some ways, tutoring is teaching at its purest because the teacher and the student can be focused on the material in such a way as to maximize the student’s potential and success. I have come to recognize that being a teacher is both my vocation and my avocation through which I contribute to society.

I love to work with children and adults. I feel that the best way for my students learn is for them to get hands on experience whether that be guided problem solving or actual lab work. I think that through this way my students reach their greatest potential.
I am a Colorado State University graduate with my major in Natural Sciences as well as a completed Initial Teacher License. I have not only an extensive understanding of science but I also know how to specifically teach science. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and I had a tutoring position last spring at a local high school (Fossil Ridge).

As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that other students came to for guidance with difficult topics, from mathematical equations to evolutionary theory. Since I earned my BS in wildlife biology, I have taught in many capacities, including as a substitute teacher and as a trainer for new employees. I have taught discouraged children to read and fostered latent talents. As a tutor for the Interfaith Refugee Ministry, I worked with children and adults from all over the world, including a woman from Zimbabwe who was studying to earn her GED, but struggled just to create a complete sentence in English. After meeting with her for a few short months she had become a capable essayist and passed the test on her first attempt.

Tutoring is fundamentally different than lecturing because one interacts with one students. Therefore a tutor must adopt a style that most effectively communicates with the student. It is important to understand why the student is having difficulty mastering the subject. Most often I use an interlocution with the student. Ask a lot of challenging questions at the student’s level of understanding. Be sure not to let them frustrate themselves trying to find an answer. Manage time well. Finally provide an answer in several different perspectives. I impress every student that they must come willing to learn and work and to try to have a little fun.

It is my job as a tutor to approach each child as an individual. I use my own creativity and experiences to find different ways of teaching the same material in order to find the way that works best for that particular child. It is a very rewarding experience and one that the child should find positive also. I've had very good results from my methods and am very pleased with my students' progress.

After graduating from college with a BS degree in Zoology, I chose to serve for two years in the AmeriCorps. A large portion of my responsibilites were teaching in and out of the classroom on the importance of environmental stewardship. I recognized early on the amazing dynamics of teaching and the lives that were changed because of it. After AmeriCorps I spent a majority of my time substitute teaching in three different states - California, Colorado and Idaho. During my time in Colorado, I tutored for a private boarding school. I tutored in math, science, English and even grammar for both local and international students. Part of my tutoring responsibilities were to keep weekly contact through email with the students' teachers and their parents.

My teaching experience includes traditional classroom single-discipline settings, as well as non-traditional field work, with students Pre-K to Secondary. I have lead (wildlife and water) research projects with students and teachers, and have participated on research projects with university professors, through Earthwatch and Keystone Science School. I was a museum educator at Boston Museum of Science and awarded "Rookie of the Year," teaching the concepts of air and flight to Elementary School Students. Using household objects to perform hands-on experiments is one of my strong-suits. My professional work also includes working for the National Marine Fisheries Service as a biologist in the U.S. Fishing Conservation Zone.

I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the subject matter, which prevented the students from asking any more questions in class. It is also important to know why the student, or his or her parents, believes that he or she needs a tutor.
Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite vari ... read more
