Painting Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wheat Ridge, CO

Throughout my high school and college careers, I had the privileged to tutor and help educate some of my fellow students and younger individuals. I was also a swim coach for three years and lessons instructor for seven. I have also had the wonderful opportunity to teach a few students and children with special needs and those who need a different method of teaching. I am very analytical and will be able to decipher the best method for each individual. I know not all people learn the same way.

I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing. I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores.

I am very creative, hands-on teacher. I have a passion for kids, art and learning! I incorporate a variety of methods and strategies to meet the individual needs of all students. I believe we are always learning, and that children excel learning what they love. I am kind, caring and compassionate, treating each learner and their talents as a special gift. I have been in the education field for over 20 years. In 1995 I built my own art studio working with adults and children. I worked with brain-injured, autistic, ADD, ADHD, dyslexic, gifted, as well as reg. ed. students. I returned to complete my teaching degree in 2001, graduating from Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, CO in 2005. I have earned an additional 60 credit hours in drawing, painting, watercolors and sculpture. I have been a substitute teacher for Jeffco, Adams 12, and catholic schools for the past 8 years.

My teaching style is to analyze the information that is lacking with the students in question and then decide which form learning is appropriate based on the child's desires (i.e. didactic or experiential). I have been tutoring children while in college and since. I tutored children as part of the No Child Left Behind Act in the fields of reading, English, math, history, and science. Since graduating college, as performing as a case manager in mental health and for homeless families, I have tutored children in the same fields. I have also tutored college level students in the fields of statistics, writing, and psychology.

I have a substitute teaching license from the state of Colorado. I have been subbing for Denver Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District for over three years. I have worked with ages ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I enjoy working with students and have a high level of patience with each grade level. I am usually pretty laid-back and allow students leeway to have a bit of fun while they learn. I believe that without a little fun in their daily routines, students grow stagnant and bored easily. I enjoy feeling that I make a difference in student's lives.

I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Special Education position. I took the job and went to Regis University while I was working with 7th and 8th grade students. I worked at this position for three years, the year I graduated 2007 the school was faced with downsizing and I was let go. I worked the following year with 7th and 8th grade students in a different school district. I continue to move forward with learning and teaching. I enjoy teaching and learning from students. I feel everyone has something to share and assist with understanding different beliefs, cultures and ideas. I strive to teach to all modalities.

Teaching has become a big passion of mine, and I have taught people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way--some visually, others verbally. I like to incorporate both into my teaching, by showing both you reinforce the topic and hit on both learn styles. After both a visual demonstration and verbal explanation I like to see the individual repeat what I just showed them. Learning anatomy is about constant repetition, and also having a solid understanding of the physiological processes involved. I am the type of teacher who likes to constantly be asking questions on previous material we covered, which is again repetition for the student. During my undergraduate career, I was privileged to enroll into the Physiology department in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is one of 10 schools throughout the country that offer the physiolog

I believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach them that they can do anything if they put forth their best effort. I strive to create an environment where students can focus feel safe to take risks. With positive reinforcement I hope to encourage and motivate students as well as instill confidence in them. While I was attending college I worked in child care with a variety of ages preparing lessons for enrichment. I also taught as an adjunct professor for adult ESL at Aims Community College. After finishing my degree, I taught for five years at Wiggins Elementary in 2nd and 6th grade. I was trained in FAST reading program as well as many others for teaching reading and math.

I am a true supporter of standards based education. It clarifies what the students need to know and be able to do. It makes the teacher's job easier when designing lesson plans, and it affords families and communities the kind of accountability they need to monitor their students progress. Consequently, I begin each unit with the end in mind. I then develop a set of benchmarks that will lead the students toward that objective. Each day, my students know what they must accomplish in order to move on. As their guide, I provide the materials and demonstrate their use. From that point, I simply keep them focused on their projects and encourage them to persist, moving steadily toward mastery of the material. After 35 years practicing commercial photography, I have begun my new career as an art teacher. I recently graduated from Regis University with a Master's of Education. Combined w

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 with my student, such as math, geography, reading, writing and computer skills. I have also worked at Laradon Hall, an alternative school for dual-diagnosis and highly behavioral children, for the better part of two years. 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 th

I am a patient person and love to help people learn. My style can change depending on the student and how they listen, focus, and study. I believe that one-on-one tutoring is especially important when the student has questions that aren't answered in the classroom. I will do my best to keep things interesting as well as productive. I also recognize that each person has their own pace, so I adapt to the speed as needed. I have a BS degree in Biology, which has given me a range of knowledge in the sciences. I have a lot of experience writing research papers as well as lab reports. I have worked for 3 summers as a para educator in a class of 13-15 year old children with multiple disabilities. For 2 years I volunteered in a program in which I tutored elementary school children with reading twice a week. During college I tutored some nursing students for a couple months with basic che

I have always loved French and have studied the language consistently since middle school. Now, with a completed French minor, I have the confidence and ability to assist other students with language learning. I recently returned from a 4-month study abroad in France, where complete language immersion and intensive language classes greatly increased my comprehension and vocabulary. I also taught French at an elementary school during my freshman year of college. It is incredibly rewarding to me to see people learn something new. Thus, I make sure the student understands the concept before we move on to a new topic. I understand that people learn at different rates and in different ways, so during one-on-one teaching I try to be sensitive to my student's styles and habits. I am patient and encouraging, and I have a genuine interest in student success.

I love kids! I believe that a teacher should never give up on a child. Every child has the ability to learn. The challenge is figuring out how they learn best. At the age of thirteen I was diagnosed with ADD and learned strategies that helped me retain information, and learn in school. The strategies that I had learned were so beneficial that my struggling started to subside. In my work experience I have been so passionate about getting more and more experience with children. I believe that this is my chance to give back to students struggling by contributing what I have learned to understand material. I could make a difference by adding enthusiasm, energy and fun to activities, lessons, and exercises with children. After I graduated from Regis University all I could think about was how excited I was to make a difference in children. I graduated with a BA in Elementary Education an
