Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Torreon, NM

Teaching middle school and high school science from 1983 to 2004, including every science subject listed in the TutorSelect list. I have worked as an educational consultant for national science laboratories, helping them train their scientists to work better in the school classrooms where they volunteer. I have worked for museums and for outdoor education programs, but have found the most satisfaction as a classroom teacher with all kinds of students. I have worked teaching teachers, but they were very difficult students. Multiple ways of presenting material; musically, visually, building models, finding answers by testing a hypothesis; experimenting, measuring, observing, seeing, touching.

Above all, I make sure what we're learning is relevant to the student and is based off their interests-- not random and isolated. What sticks is what they care about and find interesting. I have 20+ years as a highly qualified educator and I still have tons of energy and passion for teaching. I'm friendly, sometimes a little goofy, non-judgmental, and I have a special place in my heart for young folks who struggle in school. There are 3 options for services: (1) A multi-session plan based on the specific academic needs of the student (2) Help with day-to-day school work involving anything related to Language Arts; reading, research, writing, etc.(3) A hybrid of the two which would include a multi-session plan and on-demand homework help.

Most of what I do is project-based learning, often culminating in a performance for family and friends. I focus on healthy and above all SAFE ways of utilizing our bodies as our instruments. Emphasis is placed on the enjoyment of the process, not the perfection of it. I work to challenge, but not overwhelm my students, and make decisions based on the student's needs and desires. At 21 years old I am a performer and have 30+ credits of stage, film, radio and television performances. I have been singing and dancing my whole life, studying from world class instructors, such as Mark Yonally, Catherine McDaniel, Kathleen Clawson, Delreen Hafenrichter, Wendy Barker, and others. I have studied music education, theatre, voice and dance at Oklahoma City University as well as the University of New Mexico. I have several years experience working with children as young as 3 and adults up to 40 in v

Math is a series of steps that one must follow. When these steps are arranged correctly the problem fits together like a puzzle. It is essential to understand the lower level maths because these will be the pieces that are used to solve more complex math problems. I try to work through problems with a student explaining each step and why that step was taken. I hold two degrees, a B.A. in Architecture which I achieved immediately following high school and a B.S. in Civil Engineering that I earned 20 years later. In the years between degrees I worked mainly in the construction industry providing blueprints for houses and various concrete structures. Going back to school after 20 years was difficult in that I had to re-teach myself some of the basic math (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus) that I had forgotten because it is used to solve many advanced engineering problems.

I have worked as an elementary school teacher for 7 years. I have been fortunate enough to teach grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. In my experience I have found that children build confidence through small successes. My philosophy is to set maintainable goals allowing students to meet them frequently building confidence and motivation. I am structured yet kind. Kids need to feel a connection to their teacher in order to give 100%. I work a great deal on building community in my classroom and allowing kids to appreciate the diversity among themselves. Not all kids are going to excel in all areas. They need to value what they are really good at and share that with their peers. This also creates miniature "experts" which makes all kids feel good. Once a child feels successful; in one area it encourages them to tackle something they are less comfortable with.

I am a licensed Social worker with tutoring experience in and out of college. I have the most experience in tutoring Algebra and other math. I have a student now that I am helping with AP English who has dyslexia. I enjoy watching her grammar skills increase and her overall understanding of the concepts develop. I am great with any age individual and have the patience it takes to work with any kind of student (special needs included). I believe that people learn the best when they understand the meaning and logic behind what they are learning. When a student can see a pattern develop they develop an understanding that can be universally applied to many different areas of study and life circumstances. Learning is different then memorizing. It is especially important to understand the concepts behind the subject matter when planning continue in a similar learning subject.

I believe that each student should be respected as an individual that is capable of intellectual endeavors. I utilize humor and have a relaxed attitude but I also expect hard work. I adapt delivery style to suit the learning needs of the student. I am an experienced classroom teacher and have been involved in education since I was 18 years old. I have worked supervising general chemistry teaching labs as well as an organic chemistry TA. I followed this experience by gaining my general education certification through the STEM program at UNM. This involved a year of teaching as an intern at a local middle school. Following this I have spent the last two years teaching Integrated Science, Chemistry and Physics all at the high school level. I have also been occupying myself with obtaining Master's Degrees in Special and General Education.

I work for the client, and I begin by determining what would help them the most. Nursing students are notorious for not "knowing what they already know." Many times, within a few sessions, clients have gotten over the questions they find are formatted strangely, and once that is accomplished, progress begins very rapidly. My teaching (and writing) philosophies are strongly connected to the unique needs of the professional adult learner; providing the tools necessary to succeed individually as part of an effective health care delivery team. I am known for being detail-oriented and organized in my work, and enjoy creating new educational materials and modalities involving students in active vs. passive learning. I am a strong advocate for utilizing a mentorship approach for adult learners. I utilize case studies and various electronic modalities to share my knowledge base.

I have a flexible teaching style that aims to address the individual learning styles of my students. I believe in helping students reach the point where they can use the skills that I am teaching them on their own rather than relying on my services. I believe, as well, that a serious focus on learning should be tempered by a sense of fun - by making learning enjoyable. I have over five years of experience in teaching and one-on-one tutoring with students ranging from elementary-school children to undergraduates. I worked as a peer tutor at the Colorado College Writing Center throughout my undergraduate education, helping students with all stages of the writing process. I went on to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA at an educational nonprofit, where I helped young children to improve their literacy skills. There, I also taught after-school classes in science, homework help, and gardening at t

I prefer my students to take a free assessment, like a practice MCAT, then send me the results so that I can gauge where you are and what you need to work on. From there we'll work on test taking strategies, study strategies, and whatever specific knowledge gaps you have. I received a 34 on the MCAT, 12 verbal, 11 physical, and 11 biological. I received my degree from St. John's College in Santa Fe and my med school hard science prerequisites from UNM with a 3.8 GPA. I can help you with chemistry, organic chemistry, basic physics, anatomy and physiology, basic biology, critical reading, test taking, and study strategies.

I vary my style from student to student because I understand each student is unique and may require a slightly different approach. I have worked as an English tutor at Central New Mexico Community College for the past seven years. During this time, I have tutored students from the remedial English level up to college level courses. Many students have thanked me for my instruction and said that "You helped me a lot." I truly enjoy assisting students to master the principles and concepts needed to excel in English.

As a basic literacy tutor and tutor trainer for over 20 years, I have a passion for helping people learn to read and write well. My background as a technical writer has given me a good grasp of grammar and writing structure. I have worked with a variety of people, ranging from children in the first grade to PhD subject matter experts. Each person requires a unique approach and a recognition of their individuality. Teaching should be interactive; learners need a chance to do activities so they can practice and they need to demonstrate what they have learned.
