My teaching style is learning focused. We will review the material you are having difficulty with or I will present new material for you to learn. I will then give you exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the subject matter. These exercises can range from in-class writing to presentations on the course work. I like to emphasize critcal thinking in my teaching and will ask you to consider different views of issues. I have taught and tutored hundreds of cadets and helped them achieve their goal of graduating. I want to assist you in reaching your goals andI have the experience to make that happen--with your desire and willingness to work.

I graduated with a degree in English, Social Science and Biology from the University of Exeter in England. I have 7 years of experience in the field of Education, first as a substitute teacher for grades K - 12, then tutoring students in English (Grammer, Literature, Reading & Writing); Biology and SAT preparation at an after school program in New Jersey. I have been teaching for the past 5 years. I enjoy teaching and have found it very rewarding.
Every child possesses a natural curiosity and a desire for knowledge and I believe it is our duty as educators to nurture this desire and to give each child the skills to reason and to explore. My goal is to provide the right learning experience for the student coupled with positive feedback and encouragement. I am patient, pleasant and allow every student to develop at their own pace and style of learning.

I have always worked with children, from baby sitting to working in a licensed day care facility. I have helped children with their homework and love the challenges early childhood creates. With my experience working with children I have learned patience and valuable listening skills. I earned by Bachelors degree in history which taught me how to sit and pay attention to detail.
Teaching to me is one of the greatest pleasures I have. Helping children learn and making learning fun is something I strive for. I understand that all children are different and teaching styles need to be just as different. I like to find different ways for children to like and understand a problem that was once difficult. I listen and like the children to explain to me their difficulties and come up with a solution together to make learning fun.

I have ten years of experience working with youth. My involvement began in 1997 as a volunteer youth leader at a local high school. After a year I worked three summers as a youth counselor and program director at a youth camp. I received my B.S. in Mathematics in 2001 and have been teaching since. I have taught all math levels from Pre-Algebra through A.P. Calculus with great success. After two years of teaching I was promoted to math department chair of my past and current school. I have spent the last seven years tutoring off and on as well.
I really enjoy teaching and the whole learning process intrigues me as well. I teach with urgency, through quick pacing and small incremental steps. I am very patient, giving of my time, and possess multiple ways of explaining material. Every child learns differently and if one method isn't successful, another should be tried.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my time as an undergraduate, I worked as a writing tutor on campus. My work with fellow students prompted me to consider education as a career. After earning my bachelors degree in English, I spent some time working as a freelance writer and editor. During this time I tutored at a local community center and explored various teaching opportunities in my area. A year after completing my undergraduate work, I returned to school to pursue my masters degree in teaching. I completed my graduate degree in July of 2008. I am currently working as an English and reading teacher at the high school level in Colorado Springs. I have attended various trainings in the areas of reading and literature and have tutored in writing, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and spelling.
I believe that challenge is the key to academic success. Every student can learn and acheive, but each child nee ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this to be a great responsibility and a great reward. We are responsible to see that every child in our reach feels safe, valued, and capable. We receive great reward in watching the light of learning beam in a student's eyes, possibly for the first time. I will encourage and guide all my students to reach their maximum potential. I hope to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of their future. I believe this brief quote puts everything we do as tutors, teachers, and educators into perspective: "In 100 years from now, it will not matter what type of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank...but that I was important in the life of a child."
I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out ... read more

As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters. My knowledge of social science and behaviors has enabled me to realize a high rate of satisfaction and sucess with each student that I face. Even students who are named as trouble makers exhibit self confidence and control when a mutual trust and respect are established. Strong written and oral communication skills are useable skills needed at all grade levels.
As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by na ... read more

My grandchildren do complain that I turn everything into a teaching experience. My most cherished desire is to pass on to another generation the best education possible.I am patient and willing to work on an issue until the student has fully grasped the solution.

I love working with young people and sharing my knowledge and love of learning with them. I enjoy learning from them and hearing about their ideas, interests, and abilities. I find it easy to connect with students and quickly build a rapport with them. I am extremely patient, and it is very rare that I feel any sense of frustration when working with kids. I am able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms and in various ways. I feel that feedback to students should be positive & constructive. I do not use sarcasm, intimidation, or ridicule. I strive to prevent children from feeling embarrassment for any difficulties they are having. I enjoy helping students to experience success, make new discoveries, and gain new skills!

Essential to learning is an environment that allows students to personalize and experiment with new-found knowledge, to enjoy the learning experience and to know that their instructor cares about their progress. Teaching methods are always tailored to student needs, and to meaningful activities for each student’s life and goals; activities engage students' cross-disciplinary and leisure interests, as well as their unique personalities and learning styles. We learn to “survive” in a second language, to make friends and talk about daily activities; and we learn to raise the level (written and oral) to academic and professional needs in both linguistic and social aspects of the culture.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in inquiry based learning where students learn new things by forming questions that they want to answer. When working on a problem I encourage students to come up with questions that they want to answer, to make lists of things they need to know, and then to think of an attack plan to complete the math or science problem. I am an extremely patient teacher and I work hard to make sure that every concept is understood before moving onto the next one. I believe that each student learns differently and I am very willing to tailor my teaching style to independently meet the needs of any student.
I have a bachelor degree in Chemistry from Colorado College and I have also taken a large number of math courses at the undergraduate level (Calculus 1, 2, and 3, Linear Algebra, number theory, and mathematical models in biology).

As the daughter of an English teacher, I grew up accustomed to correct grammar and word usage, and to correction of my errors! I didn't always appreciate learning the correct use of English, but have since learned how valuable it is. Without the ability to speak and write correctly, individuals are limited in their ability to express their ideas and present themselves. I have taught public presentation and writing for years. For the past three years, I have been teaching at an open-enrollment college where I spent hours in the Student Success Center, tutoring several students who needed additional assistance to pass their English classes and write effective papers in other classes. In addition to remedial reading, public speaking, and basic college English, I taught a course in college success, equipping students with study skills and time management tools to help them succeed in sc ... read more

I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.
Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art.

At the outset of the personal computer revolution I sold and supported Tandy computers. As part of the support function I instructed clients in the use of their computers. A whole new world blossomed for me. Teaching clients to use their computers turned out to be a long term and very rewarding experience. During my thirteen years as The Computer Tutor I encountered a multitude of student learning difficulties. By working with the individual students, creative solutions were structured and successfully executed. Tutoring the non-traditional students to achieve their goals was by far the greatest reward. Their resulting change in demeanor was very heart warming. What more can a teaching professional ask? Having a very positive impact on a student’s life and be paid for it.
