I began my career as an educator and I professionally taught in Colorado, Ohio, Texas and California. When working on my Ph.D in Educational Research at UCLA, I worked as a master teacher where I trained mathematics and science teachers in the Teacher Education program at UCLA. As an IBM employee, I trained other employees and worked as an instructor and curriculum and course designer. I also created educational conferences which consisted of multiple classes and presenters from around the world. As a Senior Manager at IBM, I provided training for managers. Throughout my career, I voluntarily tutored children and adults in multiple subject areas - mathematics, English, computer science, business acumen, and GED Preparation. I tend to be enthusiastic about the subject matter I teach and that enthusiasm is contagious. My actual teaching style is based on four main factors: (1) the goa

Extremely driven to achieve academically, I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While completing my coursework, I gained real world experience applying high level mathematics as a research assistant at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. After graduating, I joined Teach For America and taught high school mathematics. Dedicated to my student’s success, I led my classes to achieve significant academic gains. This resulted in being awarded the Project GRAD Exceptional Teacher Award. I love developing and fostering a positive, trusting relationship with my student. By becoming acquainted and appreciating my student's motivations and learning style, I tailor my instruction to best suit my student's needs. I firmly believe that a teacher must be both flexible and intuitive. Whether I am teaching through discovery or

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. 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 fac

I am a homeschooling mom of 20 years. I have homeschooled my 6 kids K through 12th grade. Three of my children have graduated my homeschool. Two of those have completed college and one is in her sophomore year. I am still teaching 3 of my kids. Over the years, I have taught every grade and every subject. Most years I have been doing both phonics and physics. Over the past year I have been tutoring kids in math and language arts. I firmly believe that it is the responsibility of the teacher to find a way to present material so it is understood by the student. Too many schools criticize a child's ability to learn when the child doesn't respond to the school's one method of teaching. I enjoy finding ways to make concepts simple and fun for the child. I love to awaken in my students a fascination for subjects that they believe to be uninteresting or too hard for them.

Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allowed me to examine a comprehensive body of knowledge that deals with the structure of our country, our belief systems, and our government. Having recently graduated from UCDHSC’s MBA program with an Entrepreneurial track, I leave the university equipped with a new set of skills. Most of the curriculum was heavy on the writing side, forcing me to take a hard look at my grammatical skills, but allowing me an opportunity to grow and learn. The volume of written work over the entire MBA Program was massive, but it allowed me to hone my research skills and refine my writing style. Having many integrated collaborative group projects over the duration of my attendance familiarized me to the team member mentality prevalent in our current work environments. I have tutored pupils in English, math, social sciences, physics, mathematics,

I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education. In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management. In education, my areas of study have been: psychology, interpersonal communication, western civilization, literature and writing, as well as ancient languages, including: Hebrew and Koine Greek. I have taught many classes in these areas, specifically focusing on their integration and affect on the formation of worldview. I love teaching, especially the dialog and relationship that can be developed in its context! I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning.

My teaching style morphs in order to suit the needs of the student. Working with so many different students one-on-one has enlightened me to the particularities of learning. Each one of my students learned in a different way. Some were more visual, others more theorem/rule based. I try to hone in on what their strengths are and build from there. I also have them do a half-hour of the assignment as soon as they finish their lesson. It seems to help them retain the information. In 2004, I graduated from the University of Virginia majoring in Psychology and Studio Art. While there I tutored at Miller School (a private 6-12 institution). I worked with two Korean ESL students who especially needed help in reading and composition. Their parents invited me to Korea for five weeks in the summer of 2003 to continue working with them. Upon my return, I continued to help them in their studies u

Throughout my undegraduate education, I tutored people of ages ranging from 6th grade up to the college level in areas ranging from English to math. As a mathematics and physics major, I have a very strong background in both math and science. Now, I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Denver also pursuing a PhD in mathematics. So, clearly my strongest area is math, but I have always been an over-achiever in every class that I have taken, and I would feel comfortable tutoring in almost any area. My philosophy of teaching is that a teacher should let students discover solutions in their own way. A teacher is someone who is there just to lead them in the right direction. It is rarely a good thing for a teacher to just provide an answer because often times this is of no help to the student. A teacher must read and understand where a student is coming from in order to ask th

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

I think learning should be fun. If a student doesn't enjoy what she is doing, she won't likely attain mastery of the discipline. Moreover, I think students learn best by doing as opposed to being told what to do (i.e. practice as opposed to lecture and explanation). This means that I leave a lot of space for students to try things without fear of making mistakes. Evaluation (especially critical evaluation) is an important element in the later learning process, but initially the priorities should be placed upon fun, experimentation, praise, and lots and lots of practice. As a graduate student, I worked as a tutor in the campus Writing Center. Later, just before graduating, I taught Writing, ESL and GED at the Denver County Jail. Since completing my degree, I became a Writing and Critical Thinking Professor for two separate Universities (Metro State College and Devry University), where I'v

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.
