Tutor with 13 years experience

I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.

Learning is the cornerstone of life, if you're willing.

I'm easygoing and adaptable to different learning styles. As a lifetime learner, I always believed in differentiated teaching was a must when dealing with students with so many varied backgrounds - so it all depends on the person/student in front of me.
I've taught business related courses at three different high schools in the Northern Colorado area for seven years that include: accounting (also taught at AIMS Community College) business economics, general economics, AP microeconomics, AP macroeconomics, computer business applications, video production, web design, principles of business, marketing, sports and entertainment marketing, word processing, business presentations, entrepreneurship, international business, finance, and college prep classes through AVID.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am passionate about helping students reach their academic goals. Through my own development of study skills through my education, I believe my methods will give students the confidence and grades they want and need to bring their academic and career aspirations to fruition. I know how overwhelming school and studies can be when one does not know how to properly prepare themselves for examinations, presentations, and standardized tests, and I will work with students to overcome the stress of these studies in order to really understand the material and be confident in pursuing their goals.
Through the completion of my Biological Sciences major, I became well-versed in a variety of subjects, ranging from biology and chemistry to calculus, statistics, and public speaking. I was able to hone in on a range of study skills that have proven to be successful for all age groups. I have ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 I have tutored all levels of math with students ranging from Kindergarten to College age.
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 intrinsica ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

More About This Tutor...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Effective, long-term educational results occur best in a teaching environment that includes energy, enjoyment, and enthusiasm (i.e., the joy of learning!). With that motivation, I believe that building a strong foundation in every subject area is the key to students' learning and retention. Teaching the "Hows" and "Whys"---not just the "Whats" (the answers)--is imperative as is critical thinking and organizational development! Also, relevant, meaningful applications of learned material are essential and encouraged. Being a results-oriented, caring tutor and mentor is always my ultimate goal---with smiles all around! Teaching competence while developing confidence is the key to effective learning!

More About This Tutor...

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 test-taking skills, communication skills, and problem-solving skills are all things that can transfer between subject areas and even outside of the classroom. I think it is also empowering for students to help one another. The best way to learn something is to teach it. This not only builds confidence, but it helps students retain information.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an honor roll student, I upheld the highest standards throughout my educational experience. I took advantage of workshops and conferences, which were availed through the college, as well as those through my employers. My emphasis was literacy and my grammatical skills are stellar. Several college professors have encouraged me to incorporate my writing skills in my professional life. I have tutored children of all ages, as well as adults, in English and Sign Language over the span of 4 years. I have also taught Sign Language in community, educational, and home settings.
I am very passionate about education. I am a life-long student and my enthusiasm for learning is contagious. Each child has learning style and my priority is to discover that of your child's. My teaching approaches are quite varied and my flexibility allows adjustment, according to the needs of the student. I crea ... read more
