More About This Tutor...

I have always loved learning. Reading and writing have been two of my primary hobbies since childhood. Still, when I was in elementary and high school, there were times when I felt that the educational system was lacking. I am not alone in this experience, and I have observed countless students flourish with a level of personal and individual care that is unavailable in a standard classroom environment. As a result of my ardor for both teaching and learning, while earning a master of divinity with an emphasis in counseling, I have spent my evenings tutoring professionally. I have earned certifications in math, English grammar, reading and composition, ACT and SAT test preparation, and organizational study skills. I have had the privilege of working with a large variety of students. I have helped young children learn how to read for the first time, and mentored innumerable high s ... read more

Math, Statistics,Writing, ACT/SAT/GRE Test Prep

Flexible, down-to-earth -- I try to figure out how YOU learn best.
I am a retired college/university professor, and have been tutoring actively for the last six years (privately, as well as in a mentoring program at a community college). My tutoring experience has focused primarily upon mathematics, statistics, writing, Test Prep (e.g., ACT,SAT, GRE, math placement tests), chemistry and economics. Students have told me that I explain otherwise difficult material (especially in mathematics), in a down-to-earth and commonsense manner that makes sense intuitively.

More About This Tutor...

During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.
I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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. After graduating college in 20 ... read more

I'm a 27 year old that accepted a part-time internship in Fort Collins, Colorado. Also, I'm in the process of applying for PHD programs (starting in 2011) in hopes of becoming a professor in the long-run. Although I don't have experience as a paid tutor, I have volunteered and helped out a plethora of people in two main areas: Dealing with disabilities in education (A.D.D, memory disorders,etc) and Statistics/Math. Coping with my disabilities, receiving high percentiles and above on my math portions of my GMAT and ACT, and doing well in my statistics/math classes are what I can offer.

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.

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 former Peace Corps Volunteer, International Curriculum Developer and teacher I am convinced that our world is a classroom full of opportunity and information. I have experience teaching in varying cultures, assessing and meeting the needs of all learners. I have taught educational theory and facilitated teacher workshops. Additionally, I have taught basic to advanced reading, writing, math, and language skills to students ranging in age from early elementary to adults.
I teach because I believe in the impact a teacher can have on a child, and the impact a child can have on the world. I embrace each child’s personality and background, harness their unique strengths and talents, and foster growth in potentially underdeveloped skills to cater to the individual needs of each child. I am dedicated and experienced in meeting the “specific needs” of all learners. I am committed ... read more

I am new to tutoring, but not to teaching. In college, whether I was studying differential equations or the intricacies of cellular processes, I took the time to support my classmates and explain difficult concepts. When I was called to service, I spent four years in the Air Force, lecturing, mentoring, and teaching my fellow servicemembers, breaking down highly technical information and helping them succeed. While I find Math and Science fields fascinating, I love the English language and I'm looking forward to helping students improve their writing skills as well.
My goal is to help my students truly understand the material and how it connects to both other fields of study and their own life. This comprehensive approach reduces test-taking anxiety and improves confidence, giving the student the tools he or she needs to move forward in their education. I tend to ask the stude ... read more

Ryan McDuffee is an academic by nature and as result may not be the first choice for working with young children. However Ryan’s experience as psychologist gives him an extensive knowledge of how people learn and what the best practices are for teaching abstract subjects such theoretical physics. It is his belief that all people are capable of learning all subjects. He is a very patient, easy going and considerate person and is well suited to teaching time intensive subjects. Ryan also utilizes a wide verity of technologies when teaching subject such as physics and mathematics. However his primary goal is not to teach a student an specific subject but rather to teach students how to learn.
As a DU graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I currently hold two bachelor degrees from DU, a BA in theoretical physicist with a minor in mathemat ... read more

As both a teacher and a tutor, I have found several things to be important to a successful educator. First is engagement. I find it necessary to engage the student and involve them in the lesson. I've found that even something as simple as using props to illustrate a point helps the student understand the material better, but also be more interested in learning. Secondly, I've found that flexibility is also important. I understand that all students learn differently, and it is imperative that the teacher learns to adapt to each student's style, strengths, and weaknesses.
I have an extensive math and science-backed education, including two BS degrees and an MS as well. Not only have I excelled my entire academic career, but I am a great communicator and teacher. I have taught everything from Physics to undergrad students to English as a Second Language to students in Korea. ... read more

I try to explain ideas in more than one way. If you can take an idea and look at from multiple angles then you have a better grasp of it. I also find that some explanations, for whatever reason, just don't work for some people and it's necessary to think of a new way to explain something. I enjoy teaching people things and I get a feeling of satisfaction when I help other people to learn.
I have a master's degree in Economics and undergraduate degrees in both Mathematics and Economics. In my courses I have generally been one of the strongest students and I would regularly help my peers. I really enjoyed this informal tutoring for several reasons.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style depends on the student. Some students need me to explain the subject material to them rather than read it from the book, while other students benefit most if they work through a problem and then ask me a question when they get stuck. Though regardless of the student, I always ask questions as we go, because I know that students learn best when they engage with the material.
I graduated this spring with honors from Carleton College. For my senior thesis in Math, three of my colleagues and I designed a Challenge Math curriculum for fifth grade students. Together we compiled our lessons into a book, and once a week each we taught a small group of students. When I moved to Boulder this summer, I began tutoring CU students, adults taking online courses, and high school students. I also have experience tutoring for the SAT, ACT, and GRE.
