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. I also lived in Tulum, Mexico where I tutored immersion-based Spanish to tourists and English to the locals with ages ranging from 8-50 years old. I've led professional developments on emotional regulation and breathwork strategies to help educators provide stress-relief and support to students.I'm devoted to building meaningful relationships with my students and instilling the value of learning and helping students to see errors as opportunities. I am a firm proponent of teaching students how to advocate for their own learning needs, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life as lifelong learners. My students and colleagues would describe me as energetic, compassionate, approachable, mindful, and fun! In my spare time, I enjoy teaching yoga/meditation, reading/learning new things, pizza, skiing, and traveling.

Peter
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.
