Award-Winning ASPIRE Tutors in Arvada, CO

Danielle ...Many children say they hate school and it is just because they are having a hard time understanding the material and how it will apply to their lives. I believe that by bringing a child's interests into their school work and helping them to understand, they can develop the desire to want to further their learning. Currently I am finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at Penn State. Once I have completed that, I...

John ...suburbs. I assist students in the field of Math but also work with Science, English and Social Studies. This is my 5th year teaching in the South Chicagoland area. I chose a career in teaching because I have always had a knack for helping people understand difficult concepts. Since high school, I was always helping friends and classmates with homework and tests. My favorite part of being a teacher is seeing when "the lightbulb" turns...

Christian ...have enjoyed that decision greatly for the past several years of teaching.

When I'm not reading everything I can get my hands on, I like to go on adventures in Colorado and around the world. I've lived on four continents and love to explore as much as possible. My husband and...

Dale ...comprehension. I started at a young age being drawn to the math and sciences in school, and was fortunate enough to be pretty good at them! However, I have also struggled in these subjects before so I believe my ability to connect and relate to students' common problems is a real positive. I like to approach every student as a person having a unique skill set and having different needs. Personally I believe it is...

Elizabeth ...most math and science courses as well as introductory engineering courses. I have tutored through high school and into college and enjoy the process. My teaching process is to start with the concepts that the student knows and then apply them to what they are working on. Outside of school I spend much of my time training for triathlons. Time that is not spent training I spend outside hiking or skiing with friends.... My philosophy is that anyone can learn anything if they put their mind to it. Different people will require different methods to get to the same place, but everyone can get there.

Doug ...students learn in different ways. I have designed test prep programs for international students, and I specialize in working with students who wish to go to college and graduate school.

I listen to my students, help them set realistic goals, and then push them. I find tutoring to be a lot...

I have worked with junior high and high school students from a variety of English language backgrounds which drove me to...
