I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially. I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation.

I have a true passion for teaching children. It is because of this love for kids and teaching that I like to run a love and logic classroom where actions are met with consequences that will benefit every child throughout their child and adult lives. My teaching philosophy is that of balance. I believe that every classroom and student requires a delicate balance of management, instruction, and respect. In my eyes every student requires this type of balanced approach to learning and growing. I also believe that every child is different and therefore each individual needs a different type of direction and instruction in order to be successful. As an educator I have and will strive to constantly differentiate instruction to fit the needs of all of my students. As a graduate from the University of Northern Colorado with my BA in Elementary Education (k-6) I have had much experience working

I believe that every student deserves the individual attention they require to excel. I am capable of offering this help to your child: I am very patient, flexible and considerate, but I also push my students very hard because it truly helps them attain their academic goals. I take pride in working with my students to find the teaching approach that best suits their learning style. Sometimes a child needs more help than they are getting from their teacher alone, and that is where I can help. A good tutor can have a tremendously positive impact on a student’s academic performance, and I strive to advance the minds and lives of all of the students that I help. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Denver with a double major in History and Mathematics.

I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good teacher must be empathetic towards student needs, have a good sense of humor, and exceptional communication skills. Communication skills are not limited to inside the classroom. A good teacher must be able to talk to parents, administration, and other staff members. It is their job to make the classroom a safe and welcoming environment where academics are the main focus. They must be willing to motivate even the students who are the hardest to reach with astounding knowledge of their content area, but also with a great personality. These skills are never truly mastered, a good teacher always wants to find new ways to excel at their job. When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of

By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs.
