Advertising Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake George, CO

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 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

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

At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience. During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it. Three teachers impacted my life not only as a result of the content of their classes but in their deliver

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

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.

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

When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts. I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year.

I have found that no matter how much anyone person would like to teach, no one can force someone to learn. With that in mind, if I remember to approach each student as an individual with his or her own abilities, concerns, and goals, I will have a more successful result as an educator. I have learned that each individual has at least one trigger, for want of a better word, which will entice them unconsciously to want to learn. One of my goals is to find that element. No matter how “cool” a student is, most only want to be listened to, I have a talent for doing just that. My introduction to teaching occurred when I was selected by two university departments to be a Graduate Assistant. Among my many duties were the presentation of classes and the grading of papers. As an officer in the United States Army I have been responsible for training and teaching at many levels. As a new lie

I am very creative, hands-on teacher. I have a passion for kids, art and learning! I incorporate a variety of methods and strategies to meet the individual needs of all students. I believe we are always learning, and that children excel learning what they love. I am kind, caring and compassionate, treating each learner and their talents as a special gift. 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 worked with brain-injured, autistic, ADD, ADHD, dyslexic, gifted, as well as reg. ed. students. I returned to complete my teaching degree in 2001, graduating from Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, CO in 2005. I have earned an additional 60 credit hours in drawing, painting, watercolors and sculpture. I have been a substitute teacher for Jeffco, Adams 12, and catholic schools for the past 8 years.

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.

Teaching is a dream job since you get to directly see the results of your work. You can watch your students improve in front of your eyes and this is a result of your motivational skills. The students do the work but you are the one who reaches their inner core to pull out their ability to achieve. For each student you must find what motivates them and press those buttons. My role is to get students to believe in themselves and then to guide them through the process of education. Positive reinforcement is the key to their success. Frequently they were never given that opportunity. I make them believe in themselves and make learning fun at the same time. As an ESL ( English as a second language) teacher, I taught students at all levels, from elementary to advanced. I prepared students for exams such as the Cambridge First Certificate, TOEFL and TOEIC. I taught Business Management and Mark
