Years of Knowledge and Experience to Share!

My teaching style is casual - I am not stuffy or formal, and I try to get right to the heart of what is holding a student back, or what the difficulty is that he or she is having. I establish rapport and then dig into the meat and potatoes of the problems. This way, we tackle the problem together and a solution can be found.
I have lots and lots of experience with reading and writing to share! I have 30 + years of experience with composition - legal writing, high school and college composition, MLA and APA formatting, legal citations, and the elements of creative writing. I recently received an M.Ed. and Literacy Certificate from my alma mater, Regis University, and I am eager to share all of the knowledge and experience I have gained with your students. When I tutor students, I make sure they come away with better reading and writing skills and hopefully are more excited about ... read more

While a doctoral student in finance, I assisted Professor David Rush in teaching Basic Finance to an auditorium of undergraduates. I had two parts to perform. I maintained office hours to meet with students who had questions or problems to help them understand what they may have missed in the challenging lectures; and I carried once a week lectures to make that week's material more interesting to those who attended. While a doctoral student in public administration, I assisted a faculty member by grading Basic Statistics papers. Subsequently, I taught four half-semesters of inferential statistics to incoming Master's level students.
First, I would review with the student the kinds of learning he or she had had success with and adjust the following to the student's learning style. For "Writing Research Papers" I would start with an excellent published paper and then I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style revolves around the specific learning needs of students because each person not only learns differently but has specific strengths and weakness. As teachers it is our job to meet the needs of all learners. I do not believe in presently material in one way, or one way all the time.
I am a graduate of both the University of Colorado and Adams State College. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Education as well as a Initial Teacher's license. I have experience as a volunteer tutor in social studies and math, a paid tutor in reading, a student teacher, and as a substitute for the last year and a half. I also have experience as a mentor to young people through the YMCA.

I am interactive and student-centered. I see where the student's strengths lie and build from there. We do homework and tests together, and I move from a coaching role to an observational one, only coaching occasionally as necessary. We work not only on the subject matter, but techniques which improve comprehension, retention, organization and motivation.
I have taught and tutored both children and adults in a wide variety of situations, from job training and test preparation to tutoring for a specific subject. I have taught ESL classes and done individual tutoring, as well as both group and one-on-one instruction in grammar and composition. I have tutored for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, TOEIC, ISEE and entrance exams. I have created my own materials for such tutoring but also use books available commercially.

A recent graduate of Brown University, I am well accustomed to pursuing education excellence. In my time at Brown, I earned a 3.96 overall GPA and a 4.0 GPA in my area of study. My diverse coursework allowed me to learn material in many subject areas, as well as develop strong study and organizational skills, time management ability, and exceptional work ethic. My researching skills were employed on a daily basis in my studies, as well as my ability to capture those facts in concise and comprehensive writing. In high school, I tutored student at an hourly rate and in college volunteered to tutor inner-city children. Further, I spent countless hours over the past 8 years with fellow student, tutoring them and aiding in their academic success.
My philosophy of tutoring is rather simple - every individual has unique needs that should be met by a tutor in the most patient, sensitive, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned patience and understanding in my trips abroad as well as my time spent with the developmentally disabled here in Colorado. My technique mostly stems from understanding how the student learns and then taking the time to structure lessons that best utilize the particular student's skill set and preferences. I feel that through my experience, I can now meet the needs of almost any learner who possesses a desire to gain knowledge and better themselves.
My degree in English served me well in my two periods of teaching in South Korea and Chile. In the former, I taught young children through high school age English in private companies in and around the greater Seoul area. In Chile, I mostly taught adults at the corporate executive level, but also did some tutoring of younger children. In my position as 1 to 1 facilitator currently, I work on a wide plethora of topics wit ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

Teaching became a passion to me! I believe that French is not an easy language to learn but if an instructor is willing to help his/her students, they should be doing well! I am extremely patient and I personally make sure my students develop their own skills by motivating and teaching them the appropriate way. In addition, teaching French for me means sharing my language and my culture, helping people learning a beautiful language and contributing to the "globalization" of our society.
Born in Ivory Coast, raised in France, excellence has always been the backbone in my family. I held a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, a Master's in Political Sciences and diverse other degrees that helped me adapting the way I am teaching French. I do teach sections of French at various levels including grammar, vocabulary, literature, Francophone history and culture. In addition to Fr ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer an inductive approach to the teaching/learing event. Everyone can learn because everyone is learning constantly. Learning is exciting when it results in new insights and understanding about one's self and the world. I guide my students into discovery through the questions I ask of them. I can lecture when appropriate, giving new information as is helpful for the process, but mostly I guide the inner process of becoming aware of what one knows, assimilating new information, understanding what change that brings, and integrating the new into one's own mind and heart. It can mean leaving another way of thinking and knowing behind. This learning involves both the head and the heart.
Coaching, teaching, preaching, and consulting all require a capacity to study. I have served the Presbyterian Church for thirty years as a Minister of Word and Sacrament and in the recent ye ... read more
