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

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.

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 molecular neurobiology as the deepening theme. During this time, I tutored students in high school and college math. I also regularly thought medical students their biochemical laboratory courses. Post doctoral studies shifted my interest toward adult stem cell biology and gene regulation, and how body's own adult stem cells may help in healing process of central nervous system trauma. During the past 5 years, I have been active in my children's education and homework, and volunteered at their elementary school's reading program.
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 ... read more

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. During the past six years ... read more

Teaching has always been my passion and I was excited to earn my bachelors degree in secondary education at the University of Northern Colorado in December of 1998. Teaching at Longmont High for three years allowed me to develop many teaching skills and gather a variety of experiences and ideas. After teaching social studies, I decided to try tutoring from home while learning to be a new mom. Our district cirriculum has provided many opportunities for me to tutor students in high school math (and other subjects) for five years. I enjoy getting to know each student personally and feel I am doing what I was always meant to do. The one on one time has been very beneficial for both myself and my students and I have gained a greater understaning of how students learn and find success.
The more time I spend with kids, the more I realize how many different ways they learn. Kids have taugh ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is a mixture of many elements. The first thing I do is to make students enthusiastic about their studies. To give subtle motivation and build interest, I make the topic applicable to a person’s life. The next step is to work on confidence. You have to help students see that it is possible to overcome personal difficulties with specific subjects. To do this, I focus on each learner’s strengths and break topics down into manageable parts. I ask the questions that will direct each student to make connections on their own. As frustration is an inevitable part of learning for struggling students, I always remain flexible and ready to try a new tactic when necessary.
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 othe ... read more

I am a very patient and kind hearted person. I am able to relate to teenagers and can get through to children. I find that as long as I have the students respect, then progress can be made. I do not come in demanding their respect or attempting to force their respect. I come in a friendly manner and I will conduct the course in that same manner. I don't have a problem laughing and joking about, but when push comes to shove, the material will always be gotten through. I want them to understand what they are learning.
I have always had an affinity for math and history. As a result, I went to Colorado State University to major in history, but I took a few math classes as well. I know how to do math up to Calculus 1. Last summer I tutored a girl going into the fourth grade. She came out of third grade not understanding any of the math taught, because the teacher believe that ... 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

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. I believe in having students demonstrate learning by performing activities and exercises that reinforce presented material. I have a good rapport with students of all ages and they find me accessible which enhances the teacher-student relationship. My ultimate goal is for students to become self directed learners who can eventually take control of their own educational experience. Once they have confidence in their skills and abilities they will then be able to be successful both in school and beyond.

Being a meticulous student at Colorado State University, I excelled in academics. During my nine semesters, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Literature, and Culture with a concentration in French, as well as Political Science. Helping others excel in these areas not only benefited the students but me as well, as it furthered my understanding of the material. As a student of languages, mainly French but also years of Spanish, I have become very educated in grammar especially, and have very much enjoyed proof-reading and editing research papers. Throughout my last three years at the university I have enjoyed offering my skills to students in French, English, and Political Science.
As the oldest of seven children, I am very comfortable working with children and enjoy it very much. My favorite teacher was in third grade, and he made such an impression on me that fifteen years l ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

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.

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 would describe my teaching style as loving, caring and understanding. I know that everyone is unique and has different capabilities. I try to reach out to all of my students. Everyone is good at something. Sometimes it takes time to bring the best out in students. Patience is key! I try to bring in outside materials and relate the topic to everyday circumstances and situations. If students can relate, they will store the new information into their long-term memory. Another concept I follow is that of Practice makes Perfect!!
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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).
