Award-Winning Science Tutors in Boulder, CO

...career in science. Through my service with Americorps, in which I provided 300 hours of tutoring to the schools in my community, I found that many difficulties students have in math and science subjects stem from a 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...

...help other student athletes stay current with material. I then tutored math and science more formally, primarily at the High School and Collegiate level, for the past 6 years. I additionally have held group review sessions and done individual standardized test prep for the ACT, SAT and GRE quantitative section. I believe in personalizing tutoring sessions and setting goals achievable together. I know every student doesn't love math or chemistry as I do, so I...

The best way for me to teach you is to see what you already know. You'll try things on your own to start, then I'll jump in and help fill in the holes. Tutors and teachers are great ways to learn, but the best thing we can do is show you how to teach yourself!... Students learn best by doing. As a tutor, I emphasize practice, practice, practice. If you can do something once while being walked through it, great! If you can do it a tenth time without needing any help, that's my goal. I will work with you every step of the way until you get there.

I recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Biomedical Science at CSU. As a result, I am very familiar with undergraduate level and high school level science material. I have experience as a substitute teacher and as a swimming lesson instructor. As a result, I am very patient and work really hard to try to explain the information in a way that my students will understand. I am creative and try to make learning fun.

During that time, I also worked as a tutor for students in elementary through high school. I primarily tutored math, but also assisted students...

I tutor the following subjects: ACT Science, Algebra 1, Arithmetic, English, Geometry, Math, Middle School Math, Phonics, Pre-Algebra, Public Speaking, Reading, SAT Math, and Test prep.

My teaching philosophy is using as many real life examples as possible to make the understanding become realistic to the student. I enjoy hiking,...

...always work to find exactly what each student needs to reach their goals. When I am not tutoring or studying for the LSAT, I am enjoying all of the natural beauty that Colorado has to offer. I rock climb every week and am excited to begin climbing outdoors in the spring and summer. During the winter I am learning to snowboard, a challenging but fun process. When I stay indoors I enjoy painting, reading, and...

...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 plan to attend graduate school to continue my education -- I wish I could stay in school forever and learn about everything! Throughout my college career, and even in high school, I have dedicated most of my free time to mentoring and...

...a tool in everyday life. I use a crawl, walk, run progression in covering the material. If there is a difficult topic we will try multiple techniques to find the right one for your learning style.

I also have a Master's degree in Engineering Management from the University of Missouri - Rolla and a...
