Award-Winning Tutors serving Lakewood, CO

...I aim to give my students a diversity of learning approaches so that we can figure out which one works best for them. I love getting to know my students personally so that I can best match my teaching style to the type of person and learner they are. I have a B.A. in History from Brown University and a Masters of Science in Environmental Education, plus over 7 years of teaching experience. I don't...

...and helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's not that case. Everyone can understand math, but not everyone will understand it in the same way. My goal is to open student's minds up to math based on their way of thinking and learning style. When I'm not solving a math problem you can probably find me competing in sports or the occasional card/board game.... The first and...

I graduated from San Jose State University with degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Physics/Mathematics. Throughout college I tutored various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. After years in the business world I taught math with Denver Public Schools as a Blue Print Math Fellow. I am passionate about learning and helping others. Everyone has a different 'style' of learning so as a coach I need to grasp that and present each subject with a congruent style.

...focus on helping students identify the strategies that writers use to make their point. This way students can critically evaluate what writers are saying, as well as use these strategies themselves when they want to articulate their own opinions. I believe that it’s important to become familiar with the common structures and tactics used in writing in order to develop one’s own voice. In my experience tutoring reading and writing, I love seeing my students...

I have been teaching middle school and high school math professionally for 7 years and have been tutoring for much longer than that. I have worked with all types of students with varying age ranges, mathematical capabilities, and learning styles. Math has always made sense to me, and I strive to help others gain that same feeling of...

...strengthen my abilities to educate many different styles of learners. I also have the experience with graduate standardized testing, as I scored in the 95th percentile or above on the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. Since graduating in May with two degrees in biology and psychology, I have spent my time going through the medical school application process. During the upcoming year, I hope to help tutor those still in school not only to keep on...

...what has worked and what hasn't. I'd love to share my best practices with you. I promise if you follow them, you WILL score at your highest potential! I've worked with students scoring over 520, students just trying to break 500 and everything in between. Whether you need help with content or need help perfecting your strategy, or both, I have the skills and a ton of experience to meet your specific needs. Let's do...

...these insights and excitement for the subject while deepening conceptual understandings. The greatest metric of success in a tutoring session is being told that I was able to break down explanations from the student's class and reformulate them into a version that is compatible with their way of thinking. I aim to use my empathy and sensitivity to students' unique struggles and learning styles to teach concepts and problem-solving strategies in an individualized manner. While...

...many students with their preparation for the ACT/SAT Math exams. When it comes to teaching, I like to keep problems and concepts as visual as possible since that is how I learned. I like to show and demonstrate ideas to students and not just tell them. 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...

I believe learning should accessible for all kinds of students and am committed to working together...

...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 adults. Being a teacher is the most fulfilling job I've had, and I love it. I hope to hear from...

...thinking skills. Additionally, I have tutored a number of students in high school Physics, always emphasizing conceptual understanding. While my own area of studies is in Physics and Astronomy, my favorite subject to tutor is Math. A strong Mathematical background is essential in today's world and I feel its importance is often overlooked. I believe in lifelong education and learning. I plan to attend graduate school in the upcoming years. Aside from academic pursuits, I...

...subject before trying to focus on specifics, especially in math and science. I try to have a very flexible teaching style, as I know not everybody learns in the same way, and I will always come prepared to teach a subject in multiple ways depending on the student's way of learning. I am outgoing, encouraging and patient, and I will always push my students to achieve to the best of their abilities.... My teaching philosophy is...

...my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge. I believe that successful tutoring involves assessing how a student learns and adapting my teaching style to best fit the needs of the student. In this manner a student can learn in a way that seems to come naturally and allows knowledge to flow more seamlessly. Fostering a passion for learning and encouraging growth...

...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 they are studying. This really brings the material to life and make learning fun. As a National Board Certified Teacher, my focus is constantly on student...

...style is fun and effective. I'll offer alternative ways to look at your assignment that will make the material more interesting and memorable. I have a lot of patience, and I know that not everyone learns the same way. I'll meet you (or your student) right where you're at and we'll go from there. I'd be a great tutor for a high school or university student looking for a tutor to assist in essay writing,...

...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...

...language mastery levels both in English and in Spanish. Every student learns differently, so I always strive to tailor instruction to each student's specific needs. I also believe that language learning can and should have an element of fun. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Spanish from Texas A&M University with minors in English and Geography. While in college I spent time in Honduras and in Guatemala solidifying my Spanish skills and teaching English as a...

I have been teaching high school and middle school English/Language Arts for eight years, prior to that I worked for eleven years as a newspaper reporter and editor.
