More About This Tutor...

I have a bachelors degree with duel majors in both psychology and sociology. I was a TA for a semester my senior year of undergrad and assisted a lot of my peers through college with psychology and sociology courses especially related to theory and more concentrations topics. As a professional I work with the training department at work and really engage with individuals to learn and advance in their positions. During my time as a TA I lectured and provided office hours for students to utilize for further expansion of knowledge. I am more of an experiential learner and I tend to provide information utilizing examples, application to personal situations and through development upon known materials.

Learning is a journey. I have a map but you have the wheels

I believe the best way to learn is to ask questions. The best thought process begins with asking the right questions. As a student, I find that knowing the right question was often as important as right answer. Taking this lesson into teaching, I find that getting the student to ask the right question makes all the difference in their understanding. My perspective of teaching is to help the student to find and better understand their own question and which leads the correct answers.
As a lifelong learner I understand the importance of an effective teacher. I have been teaching and assisting college level classes for 2 years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. During this time I have taught 6 classes consisting of introductory microbiology, microbial genetics and general biology. This experience has allowed me to develop my own teaching style and led to a greater understanding of both ... read more

I have worked for Liberty High School with their AVID program for over 4 years now, and I have been a personal tutor for about seven years to date. I have had a great many students and have been given rave reviews from all of them. I feel I am very knowledgeable in mathematics and I also feel I am very good at relating it to other people in different ways so they may be able to understand. I will be happy to help your student understand their respective subjects, and I may even be able to help you as well. My fees are negotiable so don't worry about being unable to afford my services or anything like that. I look forward to working with you.
I always try to accommodate the student's needs so that they may feel more comfortable and better able to learn from me. I have always been able to explain things in multiple ways so that hopefully one way will click with my students.

Taking the fear out of testing, one session at a time

Currently I am tutoring Biology (among other sciences) as well as English at Pueblo Community College. I have been there for close to a half of a year at this point. I also have a 15 year old son who is in the IB program at Palmer. He does very well in school, I like to attribute that partially to my skills. I believe that we can all be our own very best resource in teaching ourselves how to learn and how to seek answers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have realized that the best test of whether you understand something is to be able to teach it successfully to another person. Though being prepared is not a direct part of the tutor-student interaction, it is absolutely necessary for the tutor to be prepared far beyond the basic level. My teaching style tends to rely heavily on humor and I really try to build a relationship with students that is fun for both parties. Particularly in a tutoring capacity, where interaction is one-on-one, I believe a fun working relationship between tutor and student is imporant. I also tend to be very patient in my explainations and try to creatively explain concepts in different ways to match different learning styles.

My teaching style is to recognize the learning stategy of the students that I am working with (tactile, verbal, auditory) and try to assist the students by facilitating the learning process in a comfortable way. An example of this would be to design a lesson around a point of interest for the student and to introduce books that he/she would enjoy followed with a relevant learning activity. I engage the students, encouraging them to think through problem solving situations with effective questioning. I set high standards for effort with my students and reward them accordingly with knowledgeable and fun instruction. I have had many successes in my role as educator, trainer, and manager.
I have a master's degree in teaching elementary education and I am excellent at reinforcing skills learned in grades K-6. My professional experience includes working in Academy School District #20 ... 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."

For the past four years I have been working at The Children's ARK-A residential treatment facility for at-risk youth. I was a teaching assistant my first year and I have been teaching for the last three years all content areas and subjects for grades 5-8. As for my educational background, I am currently on a TTE (Temporary Teaching license)and I will have my SPED generalist permanent license in May. Also, I will have an added endorsement and a Master's degree this summer 2010. I currently hold a B.A. in Psychology and that degree has proved to be very helpful with working with children with emotional issues.

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.

From the time I was in 4th grade, I have always had a strong passion to teach our young people and assist in developing the next generation that will run this country. Being deeply inspired by multiple teachers throughout my schooling, I too have wanted to make the same type of impact on children. Good teachers are the ones who wake up everyday excited to expand young minds and challenge them to strive for their potential. Seeing that "light bulb" go off when a child learns something that they have struggled with is one of the greatest joys in life. Every child deserves a chance to learn in a safe and encouraging environment; I believe in providing this through individual interactions with each one.
I have always wanted to teach. While in high school, I spent half of my school day being a teacher's assistance at an elementary school. I started my college experience at Adams State C ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe learning should be fun for both the student and the teacher. I am a vary laid back person and do not believe in putting extra presser on a student. Children learn better in a relaxed environment. I have always found it fulfilling to help a child gain an understanding of a difficult concept.
As a student athlete I understand the demands of both schoolwork and extracurricular activities. I have a bachelors degree in biology which has giving me a background in biology, anatomy, chemistry, psychology and math. Though I have not tutored before I have been a director of a daycare in which I was responsible for helping multiple students with homework.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and believe any child can learn with the right incentives. I have taught at-risk high schooler's and mentored and tutored them from freshman year to high school graduation.I tend to use the emotional intelligence model for teaching since everyone displays their strengths through various characteristics. I incorporate visuals, literature, and critical thinking skills to encourage students to believe they can learn and to draw their gifts and talents from within themselves.I encourage artistic creativity utilizing poetry, story telling, art and music to allow a student to find their own style of learning and to grow from using these methods.
I am currently a doctoral candidate for a PhD in professional counseling. I love to learn and currently teach adult learners at a local university in Colorado Springs. I am an avid reader and have taught Early college high school ... read more
