...way students can critically evaluate what writers are saying, as well as use these strategies themselves when they want to articulate their own opinions. I believe that it’s important to become familiar with the common structures and tactics used in writing in order to develop one’s own voice.

...fluently. I spent just enough time in Colorado to earn a degree in economics, magna cum laude.

...helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's not that case. Everyone can understand math, but not everyone will understand it in the same way. My goal is to open student's minds up to math based on their way of thinking and learning style. When I'm not solving a math problem you can probably find me competing in sports or the occasional card/board game.... The first and most...

I graduated from San Jose State University with degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Physics/Mathematics. Throughout college I tutored various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. After years in the business world I taught math with Denver Public Schools as a Blue Print Math Fellow. I am passionate about learning and helping others. Everyone has a different 'style' of learning so as a coach I need to grasp that and present each subject with a congruent style.

...I couldn’t grasp certain concepts. It wasn’t until I realized that I was a visual learner that I finally started to enjoy going to school. I know first hand that difficulty in classroom concepts can lead to a lack of confidence. Students are dealing with enough pressure, and they don’t need confusion in school on top of that. I became a tutor so I could help students, some like me, get past that frustration and...

...canoeing, hiking, and crafts. This particular summer camp is more of an experiment in community, offering ideas and activities for children to cultivate self-awareness, actively practice love for one another, and ponder philosophical ideas relating to our physical world as well as the metaphysical. My program directors urged me to examine myself and notice how I affected my community; as a counselor, I reflected the same intention onto my campers. I was solely responsible for...

...my students. In these conferences, I am a learner, too. I learn what makes students tick, what sparks their interest, deepens their curiosity and crystallizes their understanding; I find that students often know more than they think they do. There is a rhetorical question that reflects this idea: "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" As a teacher, I think my role is to help learners recognize what they...

I've been teaching SAT/ACT test prep ever since I finished my undergraduate degree. I graduated from Florida State University (summa cum laude) with honors in my major. I enjoy teaching math the most, and I've found that my students love my visual approach to understanding difficult concepts. ... Figure out what method of learning works for you! Personally, I'm a very visual learner. I always draw pictures to help myself visualize the material.... Learn their name,...

...what it was like to learn these subjects for the first time. Generally, my focus is on helping students understand the concepts and master the thought processes that lead to the right answer, rather than using rote memorization or oversimplified practice.

...as well as geometry. I have 4 years of experience teaching biology, from AP/Honors level biology to 3rd grade level "Making Neuroscience Fun" programs. When students are struggling, the issue is more than simply getting better grades. Many students feel angry, hopeless, and uninterested in school when they are having trouble.
