Award-Winning CSAP/ TCAP Tutors

...I spent just enough time in Colorado to earn a degree in economics, magna cum laude. Since then, I have been working in a variety of capacities on ocean conservation and research programs.I have taught high school to college age students in an experiential education program since 2009. The program covered marine sciences, leadership, and seamanship. I am very experienced in working with teenagers and college students to have them meet a standard.

...taught Social Studies, and this year I moved into teaching literacy. I will continue in this position next year as well. Not only do I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring, but I also have experience that is varied. I have worked with different age groups under various settings, such as a more academic one in my own classroom and others that were more for guidance as with my college and high school experiences.

...teaching style. My greatest interests outside of academics are all activities outdoors. I moved to Colorado to become a teacher, but also fell in love with hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, running, climbing and rafting in the mountains. I love scrapbooking, listening to music, and attending concerts. I love singing, and sing as a member of a community outreach program Confluence Music Group. I co-directed the first school musical at my first Elementary school and loved...

...as well as doing math myself. I have taught and tutored math at all different levels and understand the roadblocks that students may encounter in learning most topics. I will always respect your goals and your efforts to achieve them. I will help you master specific skills and help you think mathematically so that you can achieve success in future endeavors. Math is not a spectator sport - LET'S START WORKING TOGETHER.

...student. I have also been very successful at increasing state assessment scores because I align my questioning with the questioning that students will see on common core state assessments. I am was chosen as, and am currently, a Turn-around teacher in my school district. I work as a teacher in a low-performing, priority school, to increase assessment scores. I look forward to watching you or your child grow as a Varsity Tutor !... All students can...

...I now wish to pay it forward and be a positive influence for the students that are frustrated in school. Based on my own experiences, I recognize how important it is to form a relationship with the student to where they are comfortable with seeking assistance and communicating their feelings and frustrations with me. Once a rapport is established, I'm able to identify the students' disconnects and convey the confusing concept or strategy in a...

...essay writing machine. Whether you need help in persuasive writing, story telling, or any other related skills, I can show you how to turn any writing assignment into an automatic "A". You may even find yourself having fun. I am also able to teach virtually any other subject, as you can see from my profile. I have a lot of experience in math, science, humanities, you name a subject and I've helped someone just like you...

...will be caring for and teaching your child. I then examined the public school systems, for it is very difficult to ignore the negative media it has received in just the past few years. Something inside of me told me that this is where I want to be. Somehow I want to make a difference in that childs life by showing the child that someone does care and that they do have a positive place...

...the potential for profound and exceptional results. With the right guidance, students will have the proper mindset to resolve any academic obstacles through origination, trial & error, evaluation, audit, research, practice, and persistence. In addition coaching, particularly with (however not restricted to) more youthful students is mainly about tutoring and giving them not only the answers but rather the capacity and the motivation to find the solutions all by themselves! While this may not be...

...a professional atmosphere, such as President of Effingham Women in Business, teaching voice and piano, leading women's groups, decorating and directing events, teaching classes on manners and tea time, hosting field trips, and traveling. As I consider myself to be highly organized and detail oriented, having more than twenty years' experience with giving organized administrative support to many organizations and companies, coordinating management meetings, high-level conference calls/ special events, completing administrative tasks, maintaining records, typing...

...As a teacher I also spent a considerable amount of time teaching test taking strategies, and many of my former students did exceptionally well on standardized tests. Aside from writing, a major passion of mine is public speaking. I competed in Speech and Debate on the state and national level while in high school, and absolutely enjoy coaching students in becoming powerful public speakers! Naturally, this ties in with my interest in political science. Please...

...a passion for reading, writing, and all forms of written and visual communication. I am an artist, so naturally I weave creativity into my lessons and engage my students' cognitive abilities through creative learning experiences. I like to have clear goals in mind for each student. I work to design a learning plan for each individual student that works towards meeting specific goals - adapting the instruction to the ever-changing needs of the student. I...

...children of all ages. I am passionate about tutoring in writing, reading, and psychology. However, I am specifically interested in supporting high school students overcome both the academic and psychological challenges involved in standardized testing with which I myself struggled. I strongly believe that with a positive mindset, dedicated preparation, and enthusiasm, everyone can overcome obstacles. In my free time I love to read, cook, hike, enjoy music, and exercise in all forms.

...Design. My goal as a tutor is to facilitate lasting understanding over rote memorization. This is accomplished by using a 'Not Yet' philosophy, which teaches students not to categorize themselves as failures or unsatisfactory. I have periodically tutored students of various ages for the past 8 years, with majority of my experience involving reading and writing; however I tutor a variety of subjects including ACT Test Prep. When not working with students, I enjoy reading,...

...place, and education gives us the best tools to explore it. For example, my educational experience has taken me hiking through European forests to learn about Human Geography, camping on Mexican beaches to learn about sea turtle ecology, and teaching in Peruvian schools to solidify my Spanish fluency while helping young students improve their English. These experiences are why I am so enthusiastic about learning, and why I'm so intent on sharing that enthusiasm with...

...the basic principles that I am to love my fellow man, be a servant to all, and do my best to help everyone He places in my path. God gave me a passion to work with students, and He gives me the strength to love them and reach them even when they are not at their best. More than anything, students need Jesus in their lives to love them no matter what. "If I speak...

...for 28 kids who are lost in their feelings, emotions and thoughts. Before I plunged into the Education Program at Colorado State, I wanted to make sure I wasn't hopping onto the bandwagon of "be the change you want to see in the world". I wanted my life as a teacher to be honest and just like in 3rd grade, raw and real. I wanted to make sure I always stayed true to the core...

...have a personal interest in ecology and environmental studies, particularly at a high school and college level. However, I also have 2 years of elementary school classroom experience, working primarily with 3rd and 4th grade students. At an elementary level I primarily taught science, but I also assisted with NY State ELA, Math and Science test prep, along with general literacy and phonics. While in high school I was a writing tutor for students at...

Some of this is self-taught, but most information I learned in college and by studying with different health care professionals. I am very...

...undergone numerous trainings in teaching both common core math and Language arts. Passionate about educating kids, I understand the individuality of every child and structure sessions based on skill level and personal interest. Students leave tutoring sessions with renewed confidence and heightened engagement in their subject matter.
