I am by nature a lifelong learner. I am curious, introspective, and always probing to discover hidden meanings, connections, and possibilities. A professional musician/entertainer since age fourteen, I apply, among many other traits, my considerable experience in presentation, and my sense of humor to present a higher level and enjoyable learning experience, reaching for increased interest far beyond the page and pale. I have traveled extensively, this experiential vantage point providing an understanding of the differences & similarities within and across the world's cultures. In History & Civics: lessons of the past examined in the context of present and future. In Economics we examine the economic realites which connect all nations. In Psychology & Sociology is an exploration into how the mind and society affect human behavior, interacting for either prosperity or problems.

Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even today the pedagogy is not nearly as simple as would appear at face-value. Reference to Ken Pike's tomes on the fundamentals of tagmemics, James Stanfield's affective pointers for students of various emotional statuses, and even the philosophy of Noam Chomsky on English deep structure, were all consulted early and often and at one time or another throughout my career. I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three

I hold a BS and MS in Biology. I started to tutor college student while an undergraduate at Mesa State College.I was awarded the GK-12 Fellowship for two years while at the University of Northern Colorado. This fellowship placed me in k-12 classrooms to aid in teaching sciene. During that time I taught kindergarten, second grade, 8th grade, and 9th - 12th grades.Later I was awarded the GAANN Fellowship and continued to teach colleged level Biology. I have experience in classroom setting, lab setting, and biology trips outside. My style of teaching includes visual explanation (white board or chalk board), oral discussion, and hands-on manipulation when ever possible. I try to use as many teaching styles as possible as not all students learn via the same means. My style is also fexible based on the student I am instructing (age or handicaps). I believe the best way to teach science is to m

Teaching has become a major part of my life. I have taught mostly university students and adults but like teaching children as well. I believe that teaching older students is more challenging than teaching kids. I think adults require a more in depth explanation of grammar rules and structures. In my classes I gave these explanations with an easy going, patient, and fun attitude. With children, I think it is important to show them that hard work is important to achieve success in their future. Living in Korea and Japan opened my eyes to how hard other cultures work in order to reach their goals. Every student can reach their potential with the right attitude and the right teacher to push them. As a University of Colorado graduate, I gained experience writing argumentative essays objectively about different cultures of the world. Writing these essays brought on my desire to travel aroun

I am an active teacher. I want students to understand the subject in the context of their own lives as opposed to just learning definitions. If they can realate the information to an actual happening, they are more likely to remember. In terms of test preparation, aside from learning the information it is important to work on test-taking skills (relaxation, focus, etc.). Being prepared for such large tests is more than just knowing, it is recalling under pressure. I work with all of that to help the student. I taught middle school and high school Language and Literature for two years at a private school. During that time I also tutored in the subjects of history, math, and science. I am currently working on my Masters degree in Education and have had refresher courses in the areas of study outside of my initial degree. I love working with students and have taken courses specifica

I enjoy working with youth to help them achieve success in many aspects of their lives. The one-on-one attention may be all a child needs to move forward when he/she is struggling in the classroom. I am a patient, detailed, and organized person. I have a great work ethic and strive to show youth that success can be achieved in many different forms. Finding the right motivator and "language" can make all of the difference in a confusing subject. Having earned a master's in psychology, I have extensive knowledge in this area. I have worked on many papers and reports throughout my college years, so I have strong proofreading and grammar skills. I tutored in my high school in many different subject areas and currently help some of my clients with their schoolwork.

The CO license is for K-6 and is my Initial Teaching License. The CA License is K-12 and adult.I have a passed the Praxis, in CO. and the CLAD and CBEST tests in CA. I love, and am passionate about teaching children of all ages. I am a mother of three, and all of them have drastically different learning styles. I believe there are ways to teach that can encourage the child in their strengh

I believe that education is the key of the future. The more children are learning the better they will be prepared to live and enjoy themselves in this world. Most children do not learn the same way. I use my skills to identify the path to best stimulate children in learning while being in a delightful atmosphere. I have a very multi-disciplinary background which enables me to tutor students in different areas of learning; social science, social studies, general knowledge, European history, philosophy, world cultures, and the French language. I have conducted research on different issues and helped students to prepare and write their memoirs at the Political Studies Institute of Bordeaux in France. I prepared many candidates for their degree in philosophy.

I'm graduate of two Master degree with honours, applied mathematics and computer science. Those both educations have enabled me to gain an strong understanding in many areas of math and science. During those educations, I have had of the interships in enterprise and in laboratory which has enabled me to gain professional experiences and an independant research capacity. In parallel with my studies, I have tutored high school and college students in math. I enjoy teaching and working with childrens. I remember of a handicapped student that I have tutored one year ago because he was late behind other students in his class. It was my first time to tutoring handicapped students. When his parents have called me to teach their son I didn't say no to them because I told myself that all children can learn but only in different ways. And I have started teaching him. During the first teaching I

love teaching and working with all children but I am capable of teaching all ages. I am flexible, patient, and persistent and try to couple my persistence with humor and light-heartedness when teaching challenging subjects. I try to convey to all students who struggle that at some point, everyone has academic challenges; and that it's 'not where you start, but where you finish.' I have been engaged in tutoring since college; started a tutoring program for inner city kids in Atlanta, GA while in College. I have a B.S. degree in Biology and therefore have a lot of experience in the sciences and mathematics. I also worked with Step Ahead Tutors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin prior to recently moving to Denver, CO. During the last 10 years I have tutored middle school, high school, and medical students in an array of math and science subject.

Tutoring the children over the last two years has been the most rewarding work for me. When a middle school child actually gets up, goes and gets a dictionary, and looks up the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of a word, without having direction from me, it makes my heart sing. Never have I had that feeling before, therefore it is my goal to continue to provide any child with the best tools, a positive mindset, and forward ambition to achieve the best opportunities in life that only an education can give them. I believe it is imperative that people of all ages, ethnicity, and socio-economic status have access to the best avenue to attain wealth, prosperity, and an increased quality of life: an education. It is my hope that when my students leave my class that they feel hopeful, excited, and energetic about their futures. Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allow

My goal is to provide a positive learning experience for children. I believe learning is fun and I want them to have the same feelings. I strongly believe that demonstration followed by hands on learning and positive reinforcement is the most effective. On the other hand, I realize that we are all different and will deviate from my beliefs to accommodate the needs of the child. Watching the progress of a child arouses feelings of excitement and I find tutoring to be an invaluable and rewarding experience. I strongly believe in the value of an education. This is demonstrated through the two bachelor degrees I have received. With degrees in Economics and Nursing, I have developed a strong basis of knowledge in math and science. Then throughout my college career, I have developed grammatical skills by writing research papers and essays. I have been able to help others learn by tutoring chil

I have been developing new and interesting curriculum for the past few years for a local after-school program for high school students. I have worked with students ranging in age from elementary to college level. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work with students to create a schedule that is the most convenient and effective for them. I like to work with each student( and their parents) on an individual basis, determining specific goals, needs and learning style. I am very dedicated to my students and enjoying working with them to achieve academic success.
