...taught between ages 3-adults and enjoy working with all ages. When tutoring, my goal is to help the students learn and grow, as well as try to foster a love of learning. Due to my teaching English Abroad experience, I also have spent years perfecting how to teach English to Beginning language learners through Fluent students, who are trying to gain fluency. Many of the students taught were ages 3-12. This involved teaching not only...

...assume all students learn in the same way. That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I felt very frustrated because 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...

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most thrilled about Mathematics, Sciences, and Test Prep. However, I also enjoy tutoring in English, Reading, and Writing. In my experience helping students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun and improvement prepping for the Math and Reading portions of the...

...I have been a beneficiary: as a father and husband; an historian, financial analyst and banker; a teacher, mentor, tutor and friend. Thats my approach as a tutor: listen carefully and understand my student; respect their learning style and ignite (or maintain) their passion for learning (and meet their immediate goals). Leaven it all with some fun. Throughout my career, I have had the benefit of great mentor/tutors and have always tried to do the...

I tutored small groups of students in math, literacy, science, and social studies. Currently, I continue to work with youth as a Denver Math Fellow at a public school in Denver. My experiences have made me a patient and engaging tutor who is able to explain content in different ways to appeal to multiple intelligences. Beyond...

...in Colorado. I earned a Masters degree in education two years ago and a Bachelors in biology before that. I especially like working with students who are having a hard time in a subject, because it gives me an opportunity to put my skills to work in helping that student to work through what is troubling them. I do so by using a variety of teaching methods, tailored to the student's strengths. Looking forward to...

...math at Regis University in Colorado and architecture at University of California at Berkeley. I applied this knowledge to projects ranging from hospitals, to university labs, to city recreation facilities to kinderegarten to 12 grade school buildings. I even worked on transmission towers for a phone company. Over the years I have gathered many techniques to help learners gain the motivation and confidence to first enjoy what they are learning and then to excel.

...years between my degrees, I worked as a teacher with The Institute for Reading Development. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my first academic loves are Reading, Writing, and Math. I also really enjoy helping students and parents prepare for standardized tests, where it is crucial not only to learn the material but also strategies for success on test day. My favorite part of teaching is seeing improvement in my students and I...

...started off as a Union Organizer for SEIU in California (that was the sociology part of me) and then decided to travel a bit so I spent almost 4 years in Asia teaching English as a Second Language. I spent time in Japan, South Korea and Vietnam and now consider Asia to be my second home. While teaching, I taught anywhere from ages 2-80, so I have experience with a wide variety of ages and...

...discussing global issues around fulling understanding a subject and writing, and not through fast rule-based corrections. I am here to offer my students the tools they will craft themselves with my guidance as a coach, leaving with newfound knowledge, personal development, and academic success. Many of the skills that I teach translate to many other areas of life as well. The only prerequisite would be for my students to be willing to allow me to...

I have had a broad educational background in Economics, Finance, Management, Technology and Education.... Sometimes students do...

My name is Ben Francisco. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's of Arts in mathematics. I attended Texas A&M University in pursute of a PhD. in Mathematics with a concentration in Computer Science.

...students can grow at their own pace and flourish. It is here that students have ample opportunities to work hard, express themselves, share their work and celebrate their successes, both big and small. Acknowledging the it takes a village to make strides in a student's learning, teamwork is essential. Therefore, I welcome and encourage parents to share in their children's intellectual growth and development, and partner with them to achieve their students' academic goals.

To eliminate these incorrect assumptions and better facilitate the student's advancement towards independence, I employ a fusion of direct subject teaching and a Socratic style of questioning. I am comfortable working with all ages from Kindergarten to college. I am trained in Lindamood-Bell for K-12 in English Language Arts and math up to pre-algebra. Currently, I teach philosophy at...

...been very science- and math-heavy, and these courses hadn't always been easy. Sometimes just attending discussion sessions and office hours is simply not enough. Sometimes I needed that extra help from someone who could spend the time I needed one-on-one to breakdown the concepts that I struggle with to put all the course material into perspective. For high school students without the access to these office hours and discussion sessions with teaching assistants, tutoring becomes...
