Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Boulder, CO

...bobcats!) Since graduation, I have worked as a middle and high school science teacher in Mississippi and Colorado. I tutor a few different subjects, but I am really passionate about helping students improve their standardized test scores as they prepare for college. Improving SAT and ACT scores can really open doors to admission and scholarships at great schools! Currently I am a graduate student studying social work at the University of Denver. In my spare...

...at Colorado State University (in Watershed Science), I have uncovered a love not only for academic topics I learned, but for teaching those topics to those around me. Most recently, I was a Teaching Assistant for a watershed course at Colorado State University, in which I enjoyed leading laboratory sessions and working through problem sets with undergraduate students. I have a long (6 year) history of tutoring students from Elementary to High School ages as...

...summer programs. Furthermore, my child development minor has equipped me with a broad understanding of how to effectively engage children with compassion and enthusiasm. I aspire to be a therapist for adolescents and young adults after completing graduate school, largely because I so enjoy being a mentor for middle school and high school students. When tutoring, I make sure that I am supporting and encouraging my client while simultaneously making the course work engaging.

...students for standardized tests, focusing on useful test-taking strategies. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am more geared towards math and science subjects. I encourage my students to become comfortable using a variety of methods to solve problems. This decreases their chance of getting stuck on difficult problems. Helping my students make connections between similar problems and having a hallmark example for them to think back on is another...

...degree in English. I started tutoring while still in college, and I've been teaching ever since. After graduation I taught in four different countries: Reunion Island (where I learned to speak French), The Republic of Georgia, South Korea, and, of course, the United States. I specialize in English tutoring: writing, reading, ESL, literature, etc. I also teach French and the non-math sections of the SAT. I've taught every age level - from elementary school to...

...paper from a professor, I know what it is like to give and receive help. I challenge my students to not only find the answer but understand the process behind it (while still empathizing with the challenges that he, she, or they may face). Furthermore, I know that not everyone learns in the same way; changing the way I explain a concept could be the difference between general knowledge and mastery.... I am not here to just tell my students how to get an answer. Instead, I want to empower my students to use various skills and/or tools to get the right answer and understand the process behind it.

...disorders. During that three-semester internship, I worked both as a classroom assistant and outdoor adventure education leader. I continued working for this organization as a experiential education counselor in the summer of 2014. After graduation, I worked as a teaching assistant for a second grader with Autism; for this position, I instructed this student in reading, math, and affective education. During that time, I also worked as a tutor for students in elementary through high...

...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 endeavor to keep tutoring sessions active and fun. Students learn best when they are engaged, and I strive to keep my students thinking and smiling for the entire...

...just need to find the right ways to teach them. Not every student learns in the same way, so it is up to teachers and tutors to help students discover how they learn best. It is often hard to find this out in a classroom of 25 or more students, but with a tutor, students can often find out how they can become lifelong learners and enrich their lives in the process.... I believe that all students have the ability to learn, and with a growth mindset, all students can be successful at whatever they choose to do. I believe that differentiated learning is the key to helping students succeed in school, which is why I enjoy tutoring. I am able to provide 1:1 instruction, thereby giving each student exactly what he or she needs to excel.

...Education with a minor in Leadership Studies. This is my 5th year teaching. I taught special education for two years. One year was at the middle school level, and now my second year at the high school level. I am teaching science. I worked at a summer camp one summer with students of all ages. I travel whenever I get a chance and have traveled in Europe and all over the United States. I love...
