PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Orchard, CO

While earning my bachelor's degree, I worked in several tutoring programs assisting students with reading comprehension and writing composition skills. I taught grammar to small groups, read one-on-one with third graders and assisted junior high school students with their homework assignments. Though my degree is in fine art, I began my undergraduate career as an English major. In high school I took both AP English exams and I went on an honors trip to England to study British literature. Also as a high school senior I took sixth place at the state speech tournament with an oratory that I wrote. Even now as an aspiring children's book author/illustrator the written word still captivates me. I believe that in order to help a student you must first be able to connect with him/her. That could mean understanding a student’s background, researching the latest video games or playing softba

I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses specifically in test prep. I am an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of that to

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.

As a student in the Elementary Education program at University of Phoenix I completed 13 weeks of teaching to a first grade class in 2004. I also tutored multiple students at that time at two different elementary schools. In 2009 I tutored two boys, ages eight and ten, in multiple subjects for approximately three months, with up to three sessions a week. I have an affinity for Science, Writing, English Composition, Spelling, Speech, and languages; I speak and understand Spanish on an intermediate level. To me, the best thing about teaching and tutoring is those teachable moments when you can practically see the light bulb go on in a childs head, as they finally realize they get it and are so proud of themselves! I like to involve my students as much as possible in talking problems or ideas out, and encourage them to discover the answers by thinking outside the box and looking at thing

As an undergraduate, I became very passionate about the sciences and graduated with a BA in Chemistry with a minor in Psychology and Biology. During my collegiate years, I Peer Tutored for General and Organic Chemistry laboratories and held review sessions for these courses. During my latter two years, I also tutored at the Writing Center, acting as Lead Tutor during my senior year. I worked with students at all stages of the writing process and in every academic discipline to strengthen their written skills. I also acted as an assistant teacher for a Language Skills Development course, leading a critical thinking module for small groups of college students. All students possess the ability to achieve academic success; however, many are unable to identify a streamlined path. I have worked with a wide range of students and have learned from each one a new teaching/learning style. One of t

Using a variety of teaching strategies, I engage students with all learning styles including using music, creative writing, visual arts, interpersonal interactions, quiet reading, and exploratory activities. My experience with young learners has taught me that all students appreciate authentic learning situations, in which they can use all of their senses to experience a subject. Furthermore, I believe and have seen that all students can learn, though at differing rates. I am patient with all students, and try to demonstrate to them my own love of learning, as well as my consideration of each of them as unique and special individuals. The bachelors degree I received in English Literature and Spanish allowed me to spend two years serving as a United States Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador. There, I became fluent in Spanish and decided to return to the United States to pursue degrees in bo

I have been engaged in tutoring since college; started a tutoring program for inner city kids in Atlanta, GA while in College. I have a B.S. degree in Biology and therefore have a lot of experience in the sciences and mathematics. I also worked with Step Ahead Tutors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin prior to recently moving to Denver, CO. During the last 10 years I have tutored middle school, high school, and medical students in an array of math and science subject. love teaching and working with all children but I am capable of teaching all ages. I am flexible, patient, and persistent and try to couple my persistence with humor and light-heartedness when teaching challenging subjects. I try to convey to all students who struggle that at some point, everyone has academic challenges; and that it's 'not where you start, but where you finish.'

I have tutored students in Geometry for half a year officially, and tutored students in physics unofficially for the past 5 years. Before that I worked in a boy scout camp for 6 years and I have always worked well with children. I have earned a BS in Physics which has given me an understanding of many areas of science and my minor in mathmatics has given me a great understanding of math. I have writing skills from the technical and research papers I have writen. I would like to work on getting my Masters degree in physics next year and I want to get more official teaching experience under my belt. Everyone is different so the first lesson is always about finding the best way to teach that student. The three different ways that people learn are hearing, seeing, and doing but different combinations work better for different children. I believe that all children can meet their potential if

I have quite a bit of experience, in both the tutoring and the teaching fields. While working in Los Angeles as an actor, I needed to take other jobs to supplement my income. Pursuant of this, I worked for 2 years as a tutor for Ivy West in Los Angeles, tutoring high school students to prepare for the SAT. I tutored both one-on-one and in the classroom setting. Since 2003, I have been substitute teaching for LAUSD, DPS and other private schools. During this time, I have done many "Long Term" assignments that required me to lesson plan, evaluate, and manage students. I found that I enjoy teaching as much, or more than, acting. My style is to have students working and interacting as much as possible. I don't do much lecture, but rather, design the classses so the students can work independently or in groups while I advise them.

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. However, I pushed myself to succeed in many other subject areas as well, including Theatre, Spanish and Lead

Throughout my past experience as a tutor, I have learned that there are many different ways that children learn, each of them unique and special in their own right. Traits which help bring out the best in each child definitely include patience, persistence, empathy, and consideration for each unique learning style. While tutoring a child, goals should be well communicated between the child, parents, and tutor, as the best outcomes are the result of a team effort to succeed. While in highschool, I was approached by several of my Advanced Placement teachers to assist and tutor various Elementary and Middle School children in the district. I continued with these tutoring sessions throughout the remainder of my highschool education, having 3-4 students at one time, focusing on subjects such as History/Social Sciences, English, Math (Algebra and Geometry) and Science (Botany, Anatomy, Bio

I graduated from the University of Denver with a dual degree in Sociology and French. During my time in college I studied abroad both in France and in Ireland. I studied french literature extensively while abroad. I taught English for a summer in the French Alps as well. Though I have never been an official tutor, I have three brothers and tons of friends that Ihave helped with their studies. I am a very hands on teacher at first. I feel it is necessary to provide someone the tools to be able to succeed on their own. I am extremely patient, and as a person who grew up with a learning disability, I have come up with different links and techniques to process information and make it more fun at times as well.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BS in Biolgoy and a minor in Chemistry. While there I spent time tutoring science, mathematics, English and composition to highschool and college level students on an informal basis. I also spent a semester in Australia studying biology in 2001, and two weeks in Florida teaching highschool students Marine Biology in 2003. I am a well experienced teacher, with extensive roles in tutoring and other areas. I communicate well with people and especially enjoy working with growing young minds in encouraging and furthering their studies and, ultimately, their personal goals. I am a patient teacher, who believes in a variety of learning styles and abilities. Because of my extensive experience, I will help your child find their best learning strategies and teach them to harness their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I am easy-going, enthu

My approach to education is extremely individualized. My students have taught me that we all learn differently, and that success is always reachable with patience and persistence. I find that creativity and a variety of approaches to learning are the keys to making this success happen. I started tutoring as a result of my knowledge base and the needs of the young people I worked with. My first tutoring experience was with a young man who was studying pre-calculus. Since then, I have tutored in upper level mathematics, history and social studies, English composition, and basic sciences. I had a position as a history and social studies teacher for five years in a private school, and have also taught adult education and GED prep.
