I have tutored children and adults for 20 years in the Denver area. At the scholastic level my students improved by a minimum of one full class ranking(average 200 elo rating points). Adult students who wish to enter tournaments will receive training based on an emphasis in tactics and combinational play. This is the heart of chess. An addition of psychological preparation for the tournament will improve results as the normal pressures of competition can ruin many players form. As a chess player for over 40 years I understand the importance of connecting with each person on an individual level to compliment the personality as it is expressed on the chess board.

I use the methodologies and materials that allow my students the opportunity to achieve their learning objectives. I am a caring, patient, and flexible teacher. I have over fifteen years of combined experience teaching high school English, ESL, TOEFL and GED exam preparation as well as extensive experience tutoring and giving individual and group English lessons. I currently teach literature at a private secondary and high school and I coordinate and teach classes in a specialized ESL program that I founded. My previous experience includes teaching high school English for over ten years and working as a faculty member in the Adult Basic Education department at a state university.

For the first three years out of the university, I was a school librarian, and was board certified K-12 by the Washington State Board of Education as a result of this experience. From 2006-2008, I have been tutoring writing at Northern New Mexico College, from 4th grade remedial level through college papers in all subjects. I am presently working in an Upward Bound program for 9th graders, to help increase their study skills. I believe that students need to be challenged. When they are highly challenged, they really produce. In my tutoring experience, my students' test scores rose two grade levels in ten weeks because they were challenged. Previously, these students were thought to not be able to speak, read, or write English, and were pre-testing at very low grade levels.

I attended a liberal arts college to give myself a totality of learned and a well rounded education. I majored in Music performance with a minor in math. In addition I worked in the biology labs gaining experience in the sciences. I graduated with honors ( cum Laude) My teaching style is to guide the student to find the answers for himself rather than outright giving it away. I try to teach the method of discovery and critical thinking the allows the student to excel. I love seeing students "getting it". the approach is different with each students but the goal is the same. -helping the student suceed and growing in the learning process.

I have an Elementary Education Degree from the College of Santa Fe. While persuing my degree I worked a an instructional assistant in an elementary school. The majority of students I worked with were special needs students. This helps me to understand that all students can learn when their needs are meet. I have been tutoring for about three years now. At first I started tutoring with Tutoring companies. Now I am tutoring students and adults in my community. I tutor in Reading and in Math. I enjoy teaching and working with children. I believe all children can learn and have different styles of learning. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, and kind. My goal is to use my skills to provide the best education possible for all children. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate settings and learning experien

The greatest day of my life was achieving my Bachelors degree in Biological Chemistry from the University of Texas at Arlington. It was an overwhelming sense of gratification to know the many years of hard work, determination and persists paid off. The following are the experiences I had in tutoring students. I tutored chemistry for two years, and really found that I loved helping people achieve their goals. Through experience I have learned that not everyone learns a certain way and by observing each student I’m able to understand what might work best for them. This last year and a half I was a teacher at Carlos Vigil Middle School. I instructed a computer based program for at-risk students to earn credits to graduate from high school. I taught them basic math, algebra, and biology. The passing rate doubled from 33% to 70% in one semester. I think tutoring students involves a lot of

In teaching I am basically a generalist and humanist. My background is in mathematics and the sciences, but with a solid foundation in the humanities. Practically, I have never stopped learning something new and in addition to my formal credential I have done university course work in languages, forestry, animal husbandry, and sports training. I believe my teaching style is one in which I help students make associations by way of discovery and interconnections. Much of mathematics can describe the natural world and I attempt to make mathematics both interesting and fund by drawing on these associations. I have worked in both industry and government working on a worldwide basis with people of varying cultural backgrounds. I have traveled extensively in my profession. Over the last several years I have been involved with several business and working extensively with the Native American pue

I received my BS in Mathematics and my MS in Industrial Mathematics from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. During my time as a graduate student, I was a teacher of College Algebra, Trigonometry, and of Calculus. I also tutored nearly every undergraduate mathematics course offered at NMT, including calculus, vector analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, etc. I also took many Physics courses and have a very solid fundamental understanding of Newtonian mechanics. I am a capable computer programmer. I have a basic understanding of Chemistry. I have always had a passion for science and technology, as well as a deep fascination for mathematics. I always attempt to explain the beauty of mathematics to my students in hopes that they will develop the same admiration of the logic and order of mathematics and science. My tutoring will ge

Ideally, teaching styles should be individually tailored to the student's needs. The one-on-one environment of tutoring offers an exceptional opportunity to do this! The learning styles of students vary widely; however, I believe all students respond to an approach which includes kindness, respect, persistence, and the acceptance of the student as an individual. I believe in encouraging students to ask questions, and showing them where to find the answers. Although it took me 15 years to obtain my B.S. in Business Management, I do not view that as a disadvantage. My travels with my military husband enriched my education by enabling me to experience different cultures, and by giving me the opportunity to meet, live among, and work with people of many different backgrounds. I have worked in the Los Alamos school system for the last two years as a Special Education Instructional Assista

I have extensive experience in education in a variety of learning environments. I began my apprenticeship in academia as a peer tutor for the College of Santa Fe's Student Support Services/TRIO Program (program of academic support for first generation, low-income students and students with learning differences or physical disabilities). I tutored students in writing, biology, religion, philosophy, political science, literature, psychology, Spanish and cultural history. I worked with traditional-age college students and adult students, students with a range of learning styles, and students from diverse cultural backgrounds. As an academic adviser and tutor coordinator for the TRIO Program and adjunct faculty in the liberal arts core, I continued to work with a diverse range of students in the classroom, in small groups, individually, and on-line adult students. I have taught writing for

My philosophy for effective education is comprised of six components creativity, character, culture, civic capacity, shared governance and student centeredness. I believe student centeredness is the trunk and the other components are the branches. Each component is connected to the other and they share common characteristics. For me teaching is about making the connection for students between the literature, writing, piece of art or media and their lives. By using the six components I can facilitate the learning process and enable my students to find a thread of meaning in the lessons I present. I believe that education is exciting and enriching to a students life when lessons don’t consist of memorizing facts, but examining the entire context of a work. I have classroom experience at the elementary and secondary level. While working on my AA degree I worked at a high school in a Languag

I believe that people learn the most when they start to question, WHY? It is important to assure the basics are laid out for a solid foundation for the understanding and learning to build upon and from. I start by making sure the student has a basic understanding, than expanding their understanding and knowledge while encouraging questions and discussion.

I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's in Economic Theory and Theater Production. Currently, I am finishing my Masters in Education. In addition, I have a New Mexico teacher's license and am "highly qualified" by the State in Math. I first began tutoring, especially math, in high school and have continued to do so over the years. I am highly motivated when it comes to teaching. And, am a believer that there is more than one way to learn. I believe in making subject matter relevant, not to mention interesting. Having different methods of explanation is key. As well as a solid foundation in the material. I am extremely patient and an excellent communicator. Finally, I believe in teaching to the potential, i.e., there is always more to learn and more to strive for.
