...more than simply getting better grades. Many students feel angry, hopeless, and uninterested in school when they are having trouble. With the right help and time, problem areas can feel less overwhelming and even fun. My method is to first understand my student's specific issue, and work to address him or her as an individual. I help them develop strategies so when they are alone and facing a difficult problem, they have the foundation and...

...help others. I have done a lot of tutoring work in the past working with students of all ages from the elementary to college level. I have a strong background in the sciences as well as other subjects. I also have extensive experience with test preparation. Tutoring is a great opportunity to connect with people and help them out, and I would love to work with anyone who needs some academic support.

...and physics), as well as the University of Northern Colorado (Masters of Science in biology with an emphasis on chemical research). Since graduation, I have worked in a few different fields, but tutoring is something I greatly enjoy doing. I tutor a broad range of subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and am one of the most requested tutors at Front Range Community College. I try to approach most subjects using the student's interests...

...professional work have included automotive engineering, healthcare IT, and renewable energy. I have tutored elementary and high school mathematics and am available to tutor all math subjects up to and including AP Calculus AB and Physics. While the mechanics of math problems is important, I think solving real-world applications of mathematics is the true test of how well a concept is understood, and is much more enjoyable to learn. I enjoy hiking, playing with my...

I received my B.S. in Biology, Ecology, and Evolutionary Studies from Regis University, and I am currently working towards a M.Ed in Science Curriculum and Instruction. In my spare time I love to coach and play rugby, go hiking, play music, cook tasty food,...

...in different lights until the student really grasps it. I like to draw and use real life examples as much as possible. I welcome my students to ask a lot of questions and to give me as much feedback as possible on whether they understand or don't understand the topic work that we are covering. I tutor Elementary Math, Middle School Math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. I love...

...tutoring and working on homework. Next we would run fun experiments to teach the students about aspects of scientific research. Throughout the semester, we worked with students so they can create projects for their local science fair. Working with these students was a challenge as many were far behind in their studies. Yet by instilling confidence and having fun during this after school program, I am confident that every student gained skills in science. Many...

...I may guide you very closely through a problem or idea at your own pace initially, but I will never give you the answer; I expect you to find it on your own. Ultimately, I want to teach you the how and why a concept works, not just the what. You will gain a firm grasp of the idea and will retain the concept more easily. Outside of tutoring I have a several hobbies. I...

...the student understand the concepts and how to approach problems without feeling overwhelmed. There are two ways we can approach this, we can start by looking at the syllabus for the student's course and following a lesson based on the syllabus or I can come up with our lesson plans by assigning challenging homework to enhance the students learning. I am also willing to provide a periodic assessments and progress reports. I can adapt the...

...speak Mandarin. I think there is nothing hard to learn; it is all about skills of learning. I think everyone has his/her own way of studying, and you just have not find it yet. More likely, many times you problems with your classes will be not knowing the right way to solve them. Teachers often tell you the knowledge, but you need also to learn the right way of using them. In my own time,...

...style that differs from the next in at least some small way. Finding these different styles and mastering the skills needed to teach people in those various styles has been a wonderful journey. I am currently on a break from my own education while I wait to achieve residency in Colorado, but plan to return to school as soon as I can to obtain my degree in Mathematics and pursue a career in teaching.... The most...

...plans and using top notch resources. I love teaching and have been developing my skills in various environments throughout my educational career. One of the most important characteristics of my teaching style is my focus on clear communication. Communication is key in making clear what is understood, what is not, and what is confusing for any student, which I find to be particularly important in the case of students who do not enjoy math, who...

...misunderstanding of basic mathematics. I also found this to be true while I was employed as a tutor for Ball State University's Learning Center, especially with more advanced classes. I believe that the best tutoring sessions are those with great client-tutor communication. I always welcome feedback and ideas during sessions in order to mold the most effective tutoring strategy for the student. When I am not busy with work or studying, I enjoy bicycling, running,...

...but rather what is going to make them a well-rounded adult, that has the mental fortitude to work through difficult challenges. Many of my students leave my class with a strong understanding of mathematics, as well as a great depth of wisdom about the world around them. Having worked at the college level in the admissions office, I have a clear understanding of what skills and experiences a competitive college applicant needs in order to...

...microdevices for 6 years and then decided to stay home with my son. Since I started tutoring in 2014, my students have been almost equally divided between university and high school learners. I like doing math and physics problems, and I think these can be very intellectually rewarding for anyone. More specifically, math is great because you can usually verify on your own whether or not an answer is right. I enjoy tutoring because I...

...that I use to ensure that students get the best tutoring experience during each session. My degree in engineering mechanics and my experience on the field as a mechanical engineer gives me the knowledge and real life applicability of the subjects I tutor. I approach tutoring from an empathetic position and tutor from the students' perspective by anticipating frequent misunderstandings of the material and prevent them from making those mistakes. My passion for student success...

...this. My teaching philosophy is that knowledge is power and if we can build a basic foundation of information and build up from there then the sky is the limit. When I learn/teach I like to start off small with basic knowledge we may already know and combine this to figure out a bigger picture. Outside of school work I love playing basketball with friends, going on walks, and staying healthy and active. I also...
