Entrance Exams Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Severance, CO

I taught emergency response classes for the American Red Cross before going back to college. I then taught English composition classes, and I tutored in the university writing center for two years. Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes. I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

I'm easygoing and adaptable to different learning styles. As a lifetime learner, I always believed in differentiated teaching was a must when dealing with students with so many varied backgrounds - so it all depends on the person/student in front of me. I've taught business related courses at three different high schools in the Northern Colorado area for seven years that include: accounting (also taught at AIMS Community College) business economics, general economics, AP microeconomics, AP macroeconomics, computer business applications, video production, web design, principles of business, marketing, sports and entertainment marketing, word processing, business presentations, entrepreneurship, international business, finance, and college prep classes through AVID. In addition, I have over ten years of "real-world" experience as a financial advisor, banker, tax collector, retail manager,

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 help the student. 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 specifica

Effective, long-term educational results occur best in a teaching environment that includes energy, enjoyment, and enthusiasm (i.e., the joy of learning!). With that motivation, I believe that building a strong foundation in every subject area is the key to students' learning and retention. Teaching the "Hows" and "Whys"---not just the "Whats" (the answers)--is imperative as is critical thinking and organizational development! Also, relevant, meaningful applications of learned material are essential and encouraged. Being a results-oriented, caring tutor and mentor is always my ultimate goal---with smiles all around! Teaching competence while developing confidence is the key to effective learning! Upon graduating from Penn State University with a double major in Sec. Education and Psychology, I began my new career teaching secondary English, World History & Cultures, & Psychology. C

My teaching style is trying to relate to each person and make everything easier for them. Dealing with A.D.D my entire life, I've learned how to break apart the entire problem(or essay) into better and more clear parts. A good educator needs to demand accountability from it's students. I believe that a student needs to do a little work every day, instead of a lot in one day. I stress that every student keeps a notebook that highlights main ideas in every subject. I have been through it, so I know what is important long-term. I'm a 27 year old that accepted a part-time internship in Fort Collins, Colorado. Also, I'm in the process of applying for PHD programs (starting in 2011) in hopes of becoming a professor in the long-run. Although I don't have experience as a paid tutor, I have volunteered and helped out a plethora of people in two main areas: Dealing with disabilities in educ

My teaching style is a mixture of many elements. The first thing I do is to make students enthusiastic about their studies. To give subtle motivation and build interest, I make the topic applicable to a person’s life. The next step is to work on confidence. You have to help students see that it is possible to overcome personal difficulties with specific subjects. To do this, I focus on each learner’s strengths and break topics down into manageable parts. I ask the questions that will direct each student to make connections on their own. As frustration is an inevitable part of learning for struggling students, I always remain flexible and ready to try a new tactic when necessary. As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that other stud

Teaching has always been my passion and I was excited to earn my bachelors degree in secondary education at the University of Northern Colorado in December of 1998. Teaching at Longmont High for three years allowed me to develop many teaching skills and gather a variety of experiences and ideas. After teaching social studies, I decided to try tutoring from home while learning to be a new mom. Our district cirriculum has provided many opportunities for me to tutor students in high school math (and other subjects) for five years. I enjoy getting to know each student personally and feel I am doing what I was always meant to do. The one on one time has been very beneficial for both myself and my students and I have gained a greater understaning of how students learn and find success. The more time I spend with kids, the more I realize how many different ways they learn. Kids have taught me a

I work well with children. As the mother of eight, I have experience with all ages, and a variety of learning styles. I try to discover each childs strengths and play to those, encouraging individual learning styles. In addition to being a substitute teacher for the Thompson School District, I homeschooled my own eight children for over nine years. During that time, I taught numerous homeschool group classes, including biology, cooking and english.

My love is working with kids. My true gift is working with kids who have otherwise had problems in an academic setting. I am a graduate of Law School, but my first love and continued passion is education. I have vast life experiences as well as experiences in education that were both diverse and enriching. My English background has provided me with a great content-area knowledge; while my law background has taught me an analytical side to reading and writing.

My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be clear regarding course expectations. Developing specific strategies and changing with challenges that arise is essential. I am kind, patient and creative, have high expectations of myself and others, and believe that all people can learn. A key to meeting the needs of students is to have healthy and professional boundaries while creating good relationships; one of my greatest strengths is relating to students on a personal level and then tailoring the learning to this real person. I look forward to being involved with people who choose to learn. I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the past 29

As a Colorado State University Undergraduate I earned a Bachelors Degree In Journalism and Technical Communications with a Minor in Communications. I have excelled in many areas of writing such as grammar, punctuation and spelling. With a Minor in Communications I learned many ways to communicate with people and how the human mind works. Being a Journalism Major, I have successfully completed many papers and essays about an array of topics, as well as presented many subjects to my classes. For the past year I helped tutor English and Writing helping those understand the tools to writing a paper. I have also helped younger kids with reading and mathematics. I remember growing up knowing that I learned differently than others as I was a very visual learner. I understand that all children have their own way of learning and getting one-on-one help from someone who can teach in that way will

Teaching in a major metropolitan school district has allowed me to teach among a very diverse population. I use a variety of teaching strategies and assess my students' progress regularly. I have extensive training in measuring the learning needs of students. My strength in teaching stems from maintaining a positive learning environment, teaching at levels my students are comfortable with, and encouraging higher level thinking skills. Major subjects I am experienced in (11 years) are Accounting, Finance, Computer Applications, ACT Preparation, Job Skills, and Business Writing. I have taught high school Accounting, Finance, Computer Applications, Web Design classes for the past 11 years. I do have experience teaching Accounting at the junior college level as well.

In all my endeavors I strive for variety. My collegiate career at UC Berkeley involved strong academics, competitive athletics and International Study Abroad experiences. My degree in Natural Resources focused heavily on science, specifically ecology, and multiple-use resource management with strong math and social science components. I complimented my core studies with classes on environmental literature and art which helped develop critical reading and writing skills. I have previous tutoring experience with high school math as well as the continual phone-call tutoring sessions with my 17-year old sister, which include Chemistry, Math, History and English! My experience teaching American Sign Language at the university level and my TEFL certification have prepared me well for a tutoring position.
