A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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. I have been told by many students that I have a unique ability to make difficult material very easy. I believe in mastery learning and material should be re-taught if needed. The goal is autonomy and fluency for students.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out of college, then began substitute-teaching k-12 and have been doing that for the past 5 years. In addition to this, I have been a nanny to various aged children and helped them with their schoolwork and studies. I believe my experiences with children, ranging in age from infants through 12th grade, have developed my ability to be flexible and to adapt to many different learning environments and abilities. I have substitute taught English, Math, Science, History, Physical Education, Home Economics, Business, and many other subjects. I also taught my own classroom of 5th graders all basic core subjects appropriate to that age. I believe I have many tutoring capabilities based on my wide range of experience with children in and out of the classroom.

As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name initially as I welcome them to their classroom. Easing the tension when someone messes up by asmitting that everyone blows it at some point is always a hit. It is understood by all that the day will be different than when their teacher is in the classroom, but that we'll get through together. So, we move through the day making the most of every activity.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
I have taught and tutored second languages (French and Spanish) and English here and abroad with every age level, (including K-12, university and continuing education classes), have served as Director ... read more

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). I have worked as a college tutor for 2 years while completing my degree and I currently teach middle school science.
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 t ... read more

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 volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences.

I have my BA from Scripps College in both English and History. I have significant experience tutoring within the humanities, but also German, math and the sciences. I started college as a Biology major, so I have a firm grounding in mathematics and the sciences, which I have bolstered to prepare for graduate school in Architecture.
