Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ramah, CO

I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT industry, mostly as a Technical Writer. I have taught in public school (Science for 6th-12th grades), I have tutored in the subjects of reading, writing, math, and science, and I have taught as a substitute in various subjects. I also have a great deal of volunteer experience with children: mentoring an 8-year-old boy for Big Brothers/Big Sisters, working with disabled children in a therapeutic horseback riding program, teaching horseback riding lessons to kids, volunteering for a children's shelter, and teaching an after-school program to 3rd-6th graders about pet-related subjects.

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 College in the Education department. During my initial years in college, I completed multiple teaching courses including: Intro to Education, Teaching Exceptional Students in a Regular Classroom, and Child Development. I changed degrees to broaden my opportunities but never lost my desire to teach. With my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics, I learned to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces. I tutored many classmates throughout every level of my education and helped them with learning and applying difficult constructs from math and computers to study skills. From the time I was in 4th grade, I have always had a strong passion to teach our young people and assi

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.

My first academic teaching experience started in the fifth grade, when my teacher asked me to help my classmates after school. Slowly my love of teaching and helping my classmates grew. Later I was asked to give lessons to my classmates during school hours. I started my own tutoring service for school children in my college days. During my Ph.D. program, I taught several undergraduate and graduate courses in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have earned my Bachelor's and master's degrees in biochemistry and my PhD is in Biochmeistry-Genetics. I love teaching and enjoy empowering the students to get involved in the subjects they learn about. I think good class materials, sufficient examples and explanations are important for effective learning. I believe it is the responsibility of the teacher to tutor students in an interesting and engaging manner. The teaching should show the elega

I earned my BS in Elementary Education in December of 2005. I then For the remainder of the school year, I was a reading tutor at Rudy Elementary in Colorado Springs. In '06-'07, I was a first grade teacher at Woodmen Hills Elementary in Colorado Springs. While teaching, I also tutored 1st and 2nd grade students after school in reading. Throughout the last year, I have been working for Educate Online as an online reading and math tutor for grades 3-12. As a teacher, I believe that finding the motivation of a student is the most important thing. What makes it fun and exciting? That is what I try to ask myself with each individual student. All students will enjoy learning if it is in a style that they enjoy and understand. I strive to provide a learning atmosphere that is safe, comfortable and enjoyable. Once a child begins to enjoy learning, they will find a lifetime of education

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this to be a great responsibility and a great reward. We are responsible to see that every child in our reach feels safe, valued, and capable. We receive great reward in watching the light of learning beam in a student's eyes, possibly for the first time. I will encourage and guide all my students to reach their maximum potential. I hope to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of their future. I believe this brief quote puts everything we do as tutors, teachers, and educators into perspective: "In 100 years from now, it will not matter what type of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank...but that I was important in the life of a child." I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out of co

I LOVE TEACHING SPANISH AND I LOVE SEEING MY STUDENTS PROGRESS. I BELIEVE THAT LEARNING VARIES WITH EACH CHILD AND THE ONUS IS ON THE TEACHER TO TAP INTO A CHILD'S POTENTIAL AND DEVELOP IT WITH EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS. I GENERALLY USE THE CREATIVE APPROACH WITH MY STUDENTS - LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE SHOULD BE FUN AND EXCITING. I AM CONVINCED THAT PATIENCE, LOVE, DEDICATION, PASSION AND GOOD ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, ARE PRICELESS IN BEING A GOOD EDUCATOR. I HAVE A 4.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE WHICH REQUIRED HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. I BELIEVE THAT THESE QUALITIES ARE ESSENTIAL IN REAPING SUCCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION.

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 needs to

As the daughter of an English teacher, I grew up accustomed to correct grammar and word usage, and to correction of my errors! I didn't always appreciate learning the correct use of English, but have since learned how valuable it is. Without the ability to speak and write correctly, individuals are limited in their ability to express their ideas and present themselves. I have taught public presentation and writing for years. For the past three years, I have been teaching at an open-enrollment college where I spent hours in the Student Success Center, tutoring several students who needed additional assistance to pass their English classes and write effective papers in other classes. In addition to remedial reading, public speaking, and basic college English, I taught a course in college success, equipping students with study skills and time management tools to help them succeed in sc

I tutored elementary reading (3rd grade) in a volunteer capacity for my company Raytheon Aircraft. I tutored Algebra and General Math in the Math Lab at Wichita State University (WSU) for 6 months. I tutored for the WSU Athletic department in Chemistry and Algebra for 6 months. I tutored Trigonometry/Algebra/General Math at WSU for Operation Success division (students who could not pay for tutoring) for 6 months. 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 opp
