Award-Winning SSAT Tutors in Lakewood, CO

...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 English, but...

...Science, Social Studies and Reading. While student-teaching, I also took a program to earn my TEFL/TESOL/TESL certification from Oxford Seminars. In 2013, I moved to South Korea to teach English as a Foreign Language to students in 4th-8th grade at the Avalon English Institute. When I returned, I moved myself to CO and became a homeschool teacher for ages 8, 10 and 12. I taught my students in a one-on-one environment in the subjects of...

...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. I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at Penn State. Once I 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...

...students can learn. We 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...

...degree in 2016. While attending Connecticut College, I interned at The Waterford Country School, which is a residential education facility for youth with behavioral and emotional 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...

...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 classroom concepts...

...Talented certification in 2014, and began working as the Gifted and Talented Representative for four schools in the southwest region in DPS in August 2015. I love tutoring all Elementary School subjects. My favorite subjects to tutor are Elementary Literacy, including reading and writing, and Math because I have the most experience working with kids who struggle in these areas. I also have helped children show extreme progress in a short amount of time teaching...

...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 science and teaching test prep. I am very passionate about students not only understanding the material but knowing how they can use the material in real life situations. I believe that it helps students remember the material when they...

...skills and content in a way that brings true understanding. These "aha" moments are priceless and bring confidence. I believe the best learning occurs when the student is learning just ahead of their level of understanding. By becoming comfortable making mistakes and learning from them, a student can move from proving they know to wondering and curiosity. This creates a life-long learner! I love helping students learn the backstory and interesting facts behind the topic...

...when I was fours years old. I believe that great teachers create an environment that students want to come back to and that students will thrive in. I was fortunate to have such high standards and loving teachers that encouraged me to want to learn as well as become a teacher myself. I will continue and pass on the love I have for teaching and learning to my students so that they will flourish in...
