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 facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. 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 throug

I believe that all students can learn and excel in their studies by gaining confidence through building their skills with my guidance. 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 have a BA in English and a dual MA in English Literature and Teaching of Writing from the University of Colorado at Denver. I have over four years of experience teaching and tutoring English to secondary and post-secondary students. I enjoy instructing and developing the reading, writing

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,

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 knowledge of how to make use of math after school. Accounting, however, did not make me feel completely fulfilled in my career. I wanted to make a difference in the world and, to achieve this, I feel like I need to teach. I have an alternative teaching license in business and am seeking an endorsement in math. I am currently taking 3 math classes. I am also a substitute teacher. In addition, I have tutored in math and science all through high school. 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 menta

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

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 Program where we tutored local elementary students once a week and I found this a very rewarding experience that I would like to continue. The quantitative skills in math and statistics that I developed in business school was in additional to the strong writing skills that I developed as a dual political science and philosophy major in undergraduate school. While I was in high school, I also participated in a tutoring program in a nearby community of foster children and remember enjoying this experience very much. As a professional, I have taught various levels of students through the Junior Achievement program here in Denver. I am the daughter of two special education tea

As a lover of learning and education, and also all things international, I have always been interested in helping others learn. My BA education in marketing and communication has afforded me the chance to explore many aspects of business, and to teach adults at the university level various aspects of Marketing and Business. While furthering my education in international studies with an MA, I gained a broader view of what help is needed across our borders. I have been blessed to tutor both adult and younger students to help them in the areas of GED and test preparation, receiving their high-school diplomas, and in math, reading, and writing for younger students. 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 a

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 do something and actually knowing. If the child understands through consistent questions and problem solving he/she will develope good habits throughout their school careers. 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

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 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 have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age after-school program.I have an American Sign Language certificate and passing scores on the CBEST (California Basic Edcuational Skills Test). Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride

I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach. Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art.
