I utilize several different teaching strategies and attempt to pull strengths from the youth and work with positives. I give examples and direct youth in the direction of the correct answers. I utilize reading and instructing out loud to the class, writing on the board for further and clearer instructions and information, using real life ideas and situations to help explain the lesson (ex. of using microwave and cooking to help explain temperature and gave reminders at the end of class for work completion, assignments and expectations. I am firm with some basic expectations and allow for some freedoms that seem to benefit the flow of the class and avoid power struggles and the potential for additional problems.
For the last 3 years I have been working as a special education teacher at a non-proft treatment facility. I enjoy working with children. I conduct myself in a very positiv ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I feel very fortunate having had the opportunity to educate myself without any regard on obstacles that so many other children may face. Therefore I also feel obligated to share my knowledge with those who might be interested or in need of a hand. Learning is very individual; tutoring should follow the learning style that best suites the student. Yet the bottom line, I believe, is understanding the concept, creation of so called "ahaa"-moment when all the pieces fall in place. I emphasize repetition for memory building, discussion sessions to estimate the degree of understanding, and finally an independent piece of work to demonstrate the depth of understanding, as well as to build up the student's self esteem.
I received my education K through high school in Finland, and continued with university- and graduate-level studies in Sweden. The emphasis was on life sciences with molecu ... read more

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.

I have a communicative and interactive approach to teaching. I believe that a child learns best when actively involved in the process of learning and discovery. I am also a very patient person and feel that a nurturing, calm and positive environment is the key to success in learning. I strive to expose my students to new ideas by sharing my travels and experiences with them. I challenge them to ask questions and follow their curiosity in the classroom and outside of it.
I started teaching while in college; I worked as a Teaching Assistant when school was in session (teaching college students) and as a camp counselor at a French immersion camp in the summers. This allowed me to work with students ages 8-22 and to develop different teaching styles for different ages. I am currently writing my PhD thesis; although the subject is Francophone, I'm writing in English and feel that I have ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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).
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 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.

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.

More About This Tutor...

I have experience as both a teacher and a tutor. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in English/Secondary Education. Throughout my years in college I learned theories of education, observed in classrooms and student taught at both the middle school and high school level. After graduating college in 2003, I taught 9th grade English for 2 years in a charter school in Houston, TX. After I relocated to Chicago, IL, I entered the corporate sector; however, I continued to volunteer as a tutor for 2 years. Given my past experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with students at many different levels and have tutored in various subject areas.
I have always been a believer in giving students a foundation from which to learn and grow. I enjoy teaching students basic skills that can be applied to many different subject areas. For example, I think things like t ... read more

I am a very easy going and open minded educator. I believe everybody has a unique way of learning and that my role as an educator is to find the best approach to make the knowledge stick into a person's mind. I try to engage as many of our senses in any learning endeavor (sight, sound, smell, taste or touch). The best reward I get is that look of AHA!! in a person's face when the information I am trying to communicate finally makes sense.
I am an Engineer by education and trade. I have a Physics degree and I have worked in production-cell support throughout my working career. My main responsibilities have been focused on training different people, with different skills and different approaches.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I earned a mathematics degree, I struggled to gain complete competence in algebra and geometry. I believe that my initial struggles have enabled me to become a better teacher because I constantly offer several ways of solving a problem to my students. I do not have to pause and wait for them to comprehend the material the first try. I can simply try re-phrasing or a different method. Also, I am intrinsically patient and a people-pleaser. I love seeing children succeed and value their success.
As a mathematics graduate, I am very detail-oriented and organized. Throughout college I tutored college students in calculus, business math, and statistics. I also tutored high school students in Algebra 1 and 2, Trigonometry, and Geometry. My easy-going and patient teaching style created many referrals that made me a successful and lucrative tutor.

Teaching children takes patience and creativity. Each child is different in their attention span and interests. Making each subject important and interesting is one place to start. It is crucial to never let a child give up, and not to give up on them yourself. My goal in teaching is to determine which way the child learns, for example a visual learning may need to draw out spelling words, where an audible learner needs to recite them. I love to find new ways to relate what they are learning with life outside of school and in this way show them how important the subject is. I do believe that each child can learn, but sometimes not understanding a subject is like building a wall on a road. A tutor's job is to break down the wall and make sure that the child knows how to keep the roads clear.
My degrees have taken me places that I never thought they would. I was excited to teac ... read more

When I worked for Junior Achievement of Greater Birmingham from the Summer of 2005 until the Summer of 2006, I was also exposed to teaching economics in elementary schools. I truly enjoyed this and loved how these young children improved their understanding of basic economic concepts due to my teaching abilities. I moved to Colorado and entered graduate school supporting myself with a teaching assistantship. I didn't like the field I was studying, economics, but loved teaching my sophmores. During the summer of 2007, I also had the opportunity of teaching German to high schoolers via the Upward Bound Program at the Colorado State University. I never thought teaching would fulfill me this much and bring joy to my life. I am passionate about helping students succeed and reach their true potential!!

I studied both music and Spanish at Colorado State University, and during my time as a student, I worked as a piano teacher in my own home. I enjoyed interacting one-on-one with each student, as they were all different in their personalities, music level, and interests. I found ways for them to acquire a love of music by adjusting my teaching style to their individual differences. After graduating, I became a full-time music teacher at the Piano Institute in Fort Collins and maintained a teaching schedule of 20 to 30 students per week. Although my expertise is in music, I am capable of tutoring in English, Spanish, reading, writing, math (up to the junior-high level), elementary science, and the liberal arts.
My goal when teaching is to see each student not only arrive at a point of understanding, but to witness a sense of joy and confidence in the process, as the sense of "I c ... read more

Teaching is the cornerstone of my life. I love to help children learn. I feel that my job as a teacher is to allow children to learn material on their own through the tools that I provide them. I believe that learning can be fun, and through patience and commitment all children can acquire the skills they need to be successful academically. I feel that education is essential to a child's growth, confidence, and self esteem. My goal is to show children that education is attainable. If I can provide my students with a positive view of education and help them to love knowledge then I will have created a life long learner, and thus helped to make the world a better place.
I have always been drawn to the profession of teaching. In college I got my BA in English, then my Masters in Teaching Elementary Education. I am licensed to teach in Virginia and Colorado. I have taught Kinde ... read more

I do indeed love to teach. My approach is relaxed, well-prepared, encouraging, and humorous when appropriate. I prefer interactive communications. My passion for the subject matter is obvious in my enthusiasm. I am punctual but am not a clock-watcher. I am there for as long as someone needs me. I also make my phone number available in case a student needs to ask me a question. I like to start a tutoring/teaching process by developing mutually agreed-upon learning goals. Finally, I find that the most effective way to impart knowledge is to make it as real and applied as possible. The more I can relate the subject to the student's life, interests, and "world" in general the more likely it will resonate and take hold.
As the result of three college degrees (BS, MBA, and EdD) plus 20 years as a college professor and researcher/analyst, I possess extentive experience teaching and usi ... read more
