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 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.

There is not progress without dedication; there is no dedication without interest. I spark interest!
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 pa ... read more

I love working with young people and sharing my knowledge and love of learning with them. I enjoy learning from them and hearing about their ideas, interests, and abilities. I find it easy to connect with students and quickly build a rapport with them. I am extremely patient, and it is very rare that I feel any sense of frustration when working with kids. I am able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms and in various ways. I feel that feedback to students should be positive & constructive. I do not use sarcasm, intimidation, or ridicule. I strive to prevent children from feeling embarrassment for any difficulties they are having. I enjoy helping students to experience success, make new discoveries, and gain new skills!

As a classroom teacher I quickly learned to engage each student individually. I prefer tutoring because I can tailor my instruction to a specific student. Children have different learning styles so it is my responsibility as the instructor to adapt lessons to maximize learning for each child. Ideally I am able to guide a student to realize concepts in their own terms rather then dictate facts to them.
I recently completed two years of teaching Physical Science in a secondary school in Namibia as a Peace Corps volunteer. Prior to that I earned a BS in Computer Science which included a mathematics minor and courses in physics and chemistry. I tutored throughout my time in the Peace Corps, my undergraduate studies and my high school years.

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 hold back one of the students from entering first grade because the child could not count to ten or say the alphabet. I asked this teacher if I could be a volunteer tutor for this child an hour once a week over the remaining three months of the school year to see if I could help turn the situation around. One of my proudest moments came shortly after the tutoring period ended in which the Kindergarten teacher announced she would be able to enter this child into first grade along with the rest of his classmates!

During my college years, at Colorado College, while obtaining my education minor and majoring in history, I was able to tutor young children that were having reading problems in elementary school. I have also done some student teaching in a 9th grade geography class. Also, I student taught an 8th grade language arts class, where I was able to incorporate art with literature, stressing the importance of art in the classroom. Recently, I was able to hold a position with a company called Science Matters- it is an elementary after-school program with a focus on science. Students are able to learn in a fun environment which also allows the teacher to be very creative in presenting the material.
Teaching is a great joy for me, as it is easy to see I love working with children of all ages. I enjoy the challenge that arises when teaching a group of children that learn in different ways. Un ... read more

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

My introduction to teaching occurred when I was selected by two university departments to be a Graduate Assistant. Among my many duties were the presentation of classes and the grading of papers. As an officer in the United States Army I have been responsible for training and teaching at many levels. As a new lieutenant I directly supervised the training of a team of nine young soldiers. In my latest military position the documents that my organization created will affect the training of thousands of soldiers over several decades. In my position as a licensed secondary school level teacher I presented classes through lecture format in the Socratic style. In order to touch on multiple intelligences I extensively use many different projects to stimulate the student's thought and knowledge application processes. I have tutored many subjects but feel that I am strongest in mathemati ... 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.

I have taught Kindergarten, Spanish to 1st through 12th grades, Middle and High School English, and Intensive Reading to struggling elementary school students.
