Love to watch students learn and succeed!

I have been a special education instructional paraprofessional for the past eight years. I worked for 2 years in elementary education and the past twelve years have been with high school students. I love helping struggling students learn and succeed in their education. Math is my specialty but I can also tutor in Reading, Social Studies, and Science. Over time I have figured out different teaching styles for my students who struggle with understanding. I love watching my students faces light up when they really get it!

My comments on tutoring Geography : History major

I currently work as a Para at Carmel Middle School working in the English and Math classes as a part of the Special Education program. I majored in history and am currently in the process of becoming certified as a secondary Social Studies teacher. I am completing my pre-clinical experiences now and will be doing my student teaching in the fall. I spend my day working with students to improve their abilities and make subjects fun to learn.

My comments on tutoring Geography : I've always had a knack for maps and places.

I do my best to lead the student to an answer or solution rather than telling them what to do. I do my best to find out the students learning style and adapt to his or her needs
Very ealry on in college my English professor recommended me for tutoring English. I am not an expert, but I found I was good at helping people with their writing.I also tutored beginner Russian students while I was studying at UVM. I also helped my Russian professor correct homework and tests. outside of school, I have a good year of experience substitute teaching and was often recommended for one-on-one assignments.

My comments on tutoring Geography : I have my B.A. in History and a minor in Philosophy from the University of Colorado. I am a dynamic historian by demand and inspired to learn anything unknown; I welcome all history necessities. Dedicated and well mannered students only.

I am a newly grad from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs; I earned my B.A. in History and a minor in philosophy. I maintained a 3.5 GPA and had the honor of being selected to study abroad at the University of Puerto Rico while writing my senior thesis on the socioeconomic conflicts of Puerto Rico's independence movement. I will be pursuing my Master's degree next fall, continuing the path of academia. I relate well to students because I am a lifelong student. Also I am a husband and a proud parent of three children. I am experienced at running a healthy household where academics reign supreme; dictatorship is often avoided under the guide of homework being an opportunity to show off. Kids find that fun. I am also aware of the challenges of parenting because I too am a parent.

As a graduate of a presigious liberal arts college, I was driven to a belief in life-long learning. As such I have been to graduate school twice, once in business and once in international relations, to gain an understanding of the world in which we live both in terms of economics and finance and through the study of foreign policy and the wider world. I became fluent in Spanish while on assignment in Spain in the early 1990's and keep my skills current by working actively with the Latino community. I am also a scholar of 20th century european and diplomatic history, with concentration on the period between the two world wars. I currently teach Consumer Economics and Business at Pike's Peak Community College, and English as a Second Language through Catholic Charities.
I love teaching and working with students of all sages. I believe that you are never too old or too young to lear ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always worked with children, from baby sitting to working in a licensed day care facility. I have helped children with their homework and love the challenges early childhood creates. With my experience working with children I have learned patience and valuable listening skills. I earned by Bachelors degree in history which taught me how to sit and pay attention to detail.
Teaching to me is one of the greatest pleasures I have. Helping children learn and making learning fun is something I strive for. I understand that all children are different and teaching styles need to be just as different. I like to find different ways for children to like and understand a problem that was once difficult. I listen and like the children to explain to me their difficulties and come up with a solution together to make learning fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

The most important aspect of my teaching style is the simple act of connecting with my students on a personal level. I believe the teacher and student must have good rapport and mutual respect in order to have a successful teaching/learning experience. I take great delight in helping a student love learning. I enjoy seeing the confidence level rise in my students as they grasp skills and move forward. I am very organized. I know how important it is to have a well thought out plan ahead of time, to make each instructional hour as effective as possible.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, with minors in Special Education and Psychology. I have broad range of experience in many aspects of education. I've taught in private and public preschools and elementary schools. I homeschooled my own four children for 10 years. For the past six years, I have been a directo ... read more

My teaching style is to recognize the learning stategy of the students that I am working with (tactile, verbal, auditory) and try to assist the students by facilitating the learning process in a comfortable way. An example of this would be to design a lesson around a point of interest for the student and to introduce books that he/she would enjoy followed with a relevant learning activity. I engage the students, encouraging them to think through problem solving situations with effective questioning. I set high standards for effort with my students and reward them accordingly with knowledgeable and fun instruction. I have had many successes in my role as educator, trainer, and manager.
I have a master's degree in teaching elementary education and I am excellent at reinforcing skills learned in grades K-6. My professional experience includes working in Academy School District #20 ... read more

For the past four years I have been working at The Children's ARK-A residential treatment facility for at-risk youth. I was a teaching assistant my first year and I have been teaching for the last three years all content areas and subjects for grades 5-8. As for my educational background, I am currently on a TTE (Temporary Teaching license)and I will have my SPED generalist permanent license in May. Also, I will have an added endorsement and a Master's degree this summer 2010. I currently hold a B.A. in Psychology and that degree has proved to be very helpful with working with children with emotional issues.
I believe that it is the teacher's job to discover the true learning style of their students and when we do it is like unlocking a treasure chest of gold, so to speak. I enjoy teaching all the subjects in school and I enjoy the challenge of teaching children with learning disab ... read more

My experience consist of student teaching, teaching, and substitute teaching in elementary, junior high, and high school at School District 11 and at the Colorado Deaf and Blind School. The grade levels I have taught range from preschool to high school. I have taught special needs students, benchmarked students, and gifted and talented students in various social economic classroom settings. I have differentiated instructions, given whole group presentations, and integrate various standards into the lesson.
My teaching style provides for low, mid, and high learners. I modify the assignments to elevate frustration and anxiety for lower learners. I provide repeated directions, frequent check-ins, and extended time. I give encouragement and positive feedback to students who are benchmarked. I create more challenging activities for higher level learners using Bloom’s Taxonomy. In additi ... read more

I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out of college, then began substitute-teaching k-12 and have been doing that for the past 5 years. In addition to this, I have been a nanny to various aged children and helped them with their schoolwork and studies. I believe my experiences with children, ranging in age from infants through 12th grade, have developed my ability to be flexible and to adapt to many different learning environments and abilities. I have substitute taught English, Math, Science, History, Physical Education, Home Economics, Business, and many other subjects. I also taught my own classroom of 5th graders all basic core subjects appropriate to that age. I believe I have many tutoring capabilities based on my wide range of experience with children in and out of the classroom.
As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider ... read more
