A Little Bit About Me...

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

More About This Tutor...

As a classroom teacher I quickly learned to engage each student individually. I prefer tutoring because I can tailor my instruction to a specific student. Children have different learning styles so it is my responsibility as the instructor to adapt lessons to maximize learning for each child. Ideally I am able to guide a student to realize concepts in their own terms rather then dictate facts to them.
I recently completed two years of teaching Physical Science in a secondary school in Namibia as a Peace Corps volunteer. Prior to that I earned a BS in Computer Science which included a mathematics minor and courses in physics and chemistry. I tutored throughout my time in the Peace Corps, my undergraduate studies and my high school years.

Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences and surroundings.

I love to be an encourager and to build children up in their educational experiences. I believe in small portions, using this as a learning tool. To tackle tough learning experiences we take one piece at a time and keep the end in site. I love to help children celebrate their successes big and little. I believe that: children need positive role models to build their confidences while helping them succeed not only in school but also in life. :) I would love to have the opportunity to share my skills.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching secondary and college mathematics courses. I find great satisfaction working with students who are struggling (I have had my own struggles). I am always eager to allow students to learn by discovery. Using real-life examples that relate to things students are interested in is a very effective way of permanently seating concepts in their minds. It also makes math a little more fun and the repetition a little more tolerable.
After receiving an undergraduate degree (physics and math) and a graduate degree (teaching secondary mathematics), I taught secondary math for several years. I then returned to school (PPCC) to study Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). I eventually became the CAD instructor, as well as teaching developmental math, college algebra, and Microsoft Office. I have frequently tutored friends or their children with their math studies.

I love teaching and working with students of all sages. I believe that you are never too old or too young to learn new skills, both academically and in life. I am able to help your student achieve academic success through the application of basic concepts in economics, finance, history or philosophy to the real world and using real world examples. Great teachers make great learners, I have had several in my life and I strive to emulate them in all of my teaching experiences.
As a graduate of a presigious liberal arts college, I was driven to a belief in life-long learning. As such I have been to graduate school twice, once in business and once in international relations, to gain an understanding of the world in which we live both in terms of economics and finance and through the study of foreign policy and the wider world. I became fluent in Spanish while on assignment in Spain in ... read more
