Pre-Calculus Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mancos, CO

I like to understand where the students are coming from, and see if I can make the topic more understandable. My thought is to make the student understand the topic, not just get by. I have been teaching for six years at the Southwest Colorado Community College. I have taught basic mathematics to algebra III. (Math 121) I also have done quite a bit of tutoring with those in my class, and those not in my class (statistics and calculus). I have taught for the gateway to college program. It is a program that helps high school drop outs get their high school diplomas, and get a start in college. I have taught online for Colorado Community Colleges Online until they no longer needed basic math teachers. I am experienced with latex,and graphical equation editors. I have a program that will produce mml code. I have tutored a few individuals. Some improved greatly (he had to take th

I believe it is best to offer guidance, and allow the student to go through the process of discovery. Things learned independently are much more prized and valuable. Of course, one cannot let them flounder too long so that discouragement sets in. And it is best to find out what they like, and to work with that as much as possible. While in New York, I worked for two years as a teacher of Science at a Junior High school in the Bronx. There I was awarded "Rookie-Teacher-of-the-Year." For one year, I also tutored after school to earn extra money. I have also taught in California and Santa Fe, NM. My passion is to be an International speaker on the topics of Metaphysics and Spirituality.

I believe all students are capable of creativity and learning, and that education is a two-way process, where students and teachers collaborate to advance one another's understanding of the world. My style reflects that teaching and discovery work together to produce superior educational outcomes. Patience and understanding are very natural to me and are reflected by my easy-going demeanor. Often many approaches exist to solve challenging exercises so it is important to demostrate varying methods during instruction. I also enjoy incorporating technology to cement and augment understanding. I understand that a few great teachers can make all the difference to students and I strive to be such an individual. Driven towards excellence in education, I have earned a bachelor's degree in geography with an emphasis in computer information systems. The broadness of geography as a field has ser

Having earned a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from one of the top statistics schools in the country, I not only know the mathematics behind statistical theory - I have applied statistics in a wide variety of research settings. An ongoing aspect of working as a statistician is using clear communication to explain techniques and results in layman's terms. I believe statistical knowledge is useful to everyone in everyday life and should be fun for the student to learn. I have tutored students on and off since I was an undergraduate. I can tutor all levels of mathematics, including calculus and trigonometry, and statistics. I am familiar with the local curriculum via substitute teaching and tutoring neighborhood students. I enjoy working one on one with a wide variety of students - those with solid backgrounds in mathematics, as well as those who have had difficulties with mathematics their entire
