Adrienne

Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects

My name is Adrienne, and I am from Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Denver 3 years ago to attend law school and to get a change of scenery. I recently graduated from law school and I am in the process of beginning my second career. Prior to law school, I was a high school mathematics teacher and adjunct professor in Phoenix, Arizona. As a educator, I taught high school regular and remedial math students in the areas of Algebra through Pre-Calculus, university entry business classes, and lower level math classes. As an undergraduate student I tutored for the university, a local high school, and I was a private tutor to a student during her sophomore year through her senior year.My educational background includes a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from Pepperdine University, a Masters in Secondary Education specializing in curriculum and instruction from Grand Canyon University, a Masters in Business Administration from Arizona State University, and a Juris Doctorate from University of Denver. My extensive education is attributed to my desire to be the best in my field. In my spare time I enjoy Crossfit, trying new restaurants, and movie night Fridays with my family. I also visit my Texas family about three times a year and take a major trip every other year. My most recent adventure was a trip to Italy!My teaching philosophy is to take complex concepts and simplify them by learning a step by step process followed by demonstrations and student practice. Many times students have challenges in math because they are missing a step. As a tutor, it is my job to identify gaps and fill them so the student will be successful moving forward.

William

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. At the moment, I am working as an EMT as I apply to medical school. During my time as an undergrad, I was a teaching assistant and tutor for the introductory biochemistry course. I cherished the opportunity to bring peace to students who were facing the stresses of college, and I have always found it equally rewarding for myself when I help a student get an idea to "click" in their head. My tutoring approach focuses on developing notetaking strategies and a systematic approach to breaking down information to form strong connections between ideas. The path to success with this method of tutoring looks different for each student, and I enjoy the process of working with them and learning how they think to figure out exactly what that looks like. I have found success using this scheme for achieving both immediate and long-term improvements in retaining information, especially in life science and math courses.

Hi! I'm LeAnne. I'm a graduate of Eastern Michigan University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in K-12 Spanish Education and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Over the last 8 years, I have taught high school and middle school Spanish in the public schools of Denver and metro Detroit.

In my spare time, I enjoy teaching yoga/meditation, reading/learning new things, pizza, skiing, and traveling.

Anthropology Tutor • +42 Subjects

I've worked in Special Education for over 7 years. I tutored college level courses and taught independent living skills to college students with special needs (mostly autistic spectrum disorders) for 6 years before becoming a middle and high school teacher for students with unique emotional needs for two years. These experiences have allowed me to develop the skill to accurately assess a student's comprehension of a subject and then provide instruction using strategies for multiple intelligences in a approachable manner.

Holly

College English Tutor • +10 Subjects

As a native Spanish speaker, I was often required to use my knowledge of the Spanish culture and language during my time as an Officer in the U.S. Military. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Foreign Area Studies, with a minor in Spanish, at the U.S. Air Force Academy. I spent over a decade traveling the globe and performing various translation and interpretation services for engagements with Latin American military leaders.In 2009, I became a certified TESL Instructor. Since then, I have taught English in classroom and one-on-one settings, to students of all ages. I have learned that relating all lessons to real-life scenarios adds relevance and motivates students. I have a passion for TESL and teaching Spanish because, while we build our vocabularies, we also build bridges of understanding and appreciation between people of different backgrounds.
