PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Littleton, CO

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores. I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds. I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.

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

Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies I have maintained an A average. I have been considered to be very intelligent, professional, and a great leader to my peers during my schooling as well. Although I have only tutored a couple of students during my education, they both did considerably better on their exams after my tutoring. My teaching style is catered to the student. However he/she learns best is the way I will strive to teach them. With no preference, however, I am a very visual educator, as that is how I best learn. I mainly teach with step by step examples, explaining each step's relevance along the way while relating concepts to real world application.

My teaching style morphs in order to suit the needs of the student. Working with so many different students one-on-one has enlightened me to the particularities of learning. Each one of my students learned in a different way. Some were more visual, others more theorem/rule based. I try to hone in on what their strengths are and build from there. I also have them do a half-hour of the assignment as soon as they finish their lesson. It seems to help them retain the information. In 2004, I graduated from the University of Virginia majoring in Psychology and Studio Art. While there I tutored at Miller School (a private 6-12 institution). I worked with two Korean ESL students who especially needed help in reading and composition. Their parents invited me to Korea for five weeks in the summer of 2003 to continue working with them. Upon my return, I continued to help them in their studies u

Throughout my undegraduate education, I tutored people of ages ranging from 6th grade up to the college level in areas ranging from English to math. As a mathematics and physics major, I have a very strong background in both math and science. Now, I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Denver also pursuing a PhD in mathematics. So, clearly my strongest area is math, but I have always been an over-achiever in every class that I have taken, and I would feel comfortable tutoring in almost any area. My philosophy of teaching is that a teacher should let students discover solutions in their own way. A teacher is someone who is there just to lead them in the right direction. It is rarely a good thing for a teacher to just provide an answer because often times this is of no help to the student. A teacher must read and understand where a student is coming from in order to ask th

I have been developing new and interesting curriculum for the past few years for a local after-school program for high school students. I have worked with students ranging in age from elementary to college level. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work with students to create a schedule that is the most convenient and effective for them. I like to work with each student( and their parents) on an individual basis, determining specific goals, needs and learning style. I am very dedicated to my students and enjoying working with them to achieve academic success.

Teaching at a large, high-performing public high school, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of social science courses. With over four years of in-class and tutoring experience, I obtained extensive knowledge in helping students with their overall writing and test preparation skills. I am very comfortable tutoring both within and outside my past teaching arenas. I am an experienced, passionate, and creative educator with a strong work ethic and communication skills. With over ten years of experience, in various capacities working with students in grades K-12, I am highly motivated and own a very positive attitude. I possess a deep commitment for excellence in the classroom and a strong belief in the value, importance, and individuality of each student. That belief fosters a dedication to try and bring out the best in each and every student I serve.

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.

When I think about my strengths as a tutor, two things come to mind. First, I am a person who really appreciates a good teacher. My best teachers were able to convince me of my own ability to solve difficult problems by providing a good challenge and also with lots of patience. So at the heart of my tutoring strategy is patience. Second, I approach problem solving with concrete strategies. In tutoring, I am trying to teach problem solving strategies so that students can answer questions on their own. I have worked as a college and high school level math and science tutor for three years, two years at a community college in San Diego and one year here in Denver helping high school students with math and science and test prep needs. Though I ended up getting my degree in a humanities based discipline, I studied a lot of math and science in college, focusing particularly on chemistry. I am

My approach to tutoring is based on the belief that science is a fun and interesting subject. I always maintain a positive attitude and attempt to teach science without being boring. I have good communication skills and can work with students in a constructive, encouraging, and non-abrasive manner. As a tutor my job is to connect with my students, make the subject interesting, and relate it to their lives in some way so they are actively involved in the learning process. In my experience this is the best way to help students become successful. Throughout my educational career I have always enjoyed science classes. Due to this proficiency I was selected as a teacher's assistant for two undergraduate Biology classes. I also took 3 science based education classes. These classes were a great experience where we worked at a local high school with three exceptional science teachers. Dur

I enjoy meeting students of all ages at their level of understanding and meet easily the challenge of figuring out how to communicate in ways that make sense to the individual. My task as a teacher is, essentially, to believe in the student's ability to learn and to achieve their goals. I ask questions to engage inquiry: students think about their thinking, ask original questions and, with my assistance, discover appropriate solutions. Students construct their own understanding. Together, we forge and manipulate abstract tools of cognition and apply concrete solutions. As a biology undergraduate at IOWA, I focused as much on how professors taught as I did on the content they were teaching. My interest is in meta-cognition and making sense of our world through unique tools of learning: reading, reason, art, music, language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in biology and certificati
