Let the young teach the young

I am fun and relaxed, but know how to get down to the point. I make my teaching easy to understand.
Even though I am young, I do know how to convey teaching skills with the "up-to-date" mind set of today's generation. The main experience I have is helping fellow school mates and family with the problems they are having with school work. I did finish high school with a diploma. I have been to many schools and have had many teachers. I have been able to learn many techniques of solving a single problem.

As the Title I Math Specialist at Peyton Elementary for three years, I had the opportunity to work with struggling learners as well as high achieving students in a small classroom setting. This on-the-job experience combined with numerous professional development credits earned in various areas such as differentiated instruction, math/literature connections, and mathematics pedagogy as well as two years of service on Peyton Elementary's "Child Study" team gave me the necessary background to be able to identify individual student needs and tailor lessons to address those needs. Over the past two years, I have been able to apply the above skills in a one-on-one setting through private tutoring of elementary age students in both math and reading.
I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 an ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artworks and gardens.
My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from UCCS with a BA in Geography and Environmental Studies with a minor in Elementary Education. During my student teaching I worked with third and fifth grade, which was a great experience with older children. During the last four years I have been employed at an amazing charter school teaching Kindergarten. I have primarily tutored students in elementary reading and math. In addition, I have hands on experience with teaching students great study habits and redirecting their focus to where it needs to the task in progress.
Teaching is a career I have always been drawn to. I enjoy educating children and showing them various ways to create a solution. As a kindergarten, it is such an amazing feeling to teach a child to read for the first time. My main goal is to provide children with the best materials and strategies to obtain mastery in all content areas. I strongly b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I just graduated with my Master's degree from the University of Phoenix. I completed 6 months of students in teaching to fulfill my degree requirements. I am currently a substitute teacher where I have the joy of working with students of various learning abilities and ages. I have also spent time working as a tutor for a daughter of a friend. With this experience, I was able to tutor this girl in reading and help a high level learner gain a clearer picture of comprehension in her reading. I have also taught Sunday school and worked with young students in my church.
I love working with students of all ages, backgrounds and learning abilities. I believe that all students deserve a fair and equal chance to learn in school and no child should be left behind. I also feel that all students can reach their full potential in learning if given the chance. I believe that most students le ... read more

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. I HAVE TAUGHT SPANISH 2 YEARS IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND 4 YEARS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHICH WERE BOTH CHALLENGING AND REWARDING. I TAUGHT STUDENTS AGES 11-18 YEARS AND HAD TO ADAPT MY ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEARNING NEEDS AND CAPA ... read more

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 ... read more

I retired last year after 33 years of United States Air Force military and civilian service. I have earned a BA in Sociology and an AS in Engineering Design Drafting. Throughout my career, I often found myself providing both individual tutoring and group instruction. One of my most enjoyable positions was as a full-time satellite scheduler instructor where I would train newly hired employees both individually and as a group. Equally important to me during this time was my work as a volunteer helping children with special needs and/or learning disabilities (with Head Start and public schools) and completing nine credit hours towards a MA in Special Education with a 4.0 GPA.
As a volunteer, I have enjoyed teaching children with learning disabilities. I believe I can make a difference as a tutor. For example, one day I overheard my son's Kindergarten teacher say she would have to ... read more

My teaching philosophy is teach every child every day. This means all children can learn. It may be through all different styles of teaching and learning, but all children can learn. I believe in using a "hands on" approach with manipulatives. Children will learn by doing and experimenting with the objects they have. Compassion, patience, and dedication allow me assist children in their learning and believe they can learn every day in any way.
As an adult I have been pursuing my dream of being an educator. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and am working on my Master's Degree in Deaf/Hard of Hearing Education. Throughout my seven years of teaching I have had leadership training, math, writing, and reading training. I have tutored children in Reading, Writing, and Math. I have done addition tutoring in math prior to the Colorado Student Assessment Program ( ... read more
