BA University of Colorado Denver

I am a proud graduate of the University of Colorado. I funded my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with various academic scholarships. After attending undergraduate school, I explored the field of school psychology where I worked directly with students to improve study skills and support overall academic achievement. Additionally, I worked with gifted and talented students and their families. Currently, I am a professional editor, and I particularly enjoy working with students on college admissions essays, communications, and language arts. I also provide tutoring for the ACCUPLACER exam because I believe there are many different ways to succeed in higher education, and I believe all of my students have the ability to achieve their unique academic goals. I have always had a passion for visual arts, music, and dance. Since moving to Miami, my favorite way to spend spare time is continually repairing and sailing a 34-foot 1986 Catalina.

MS University of Colorado Denver • AS University of Colorado Boulder
10+ Years Tutoring

I completed my undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography from the University of Colorado-Boulder. I did my first Masters at the University of Colorado-Denver in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. I am in the process of completing my second Masters at Metropolitan State University in St.Paul/Minneapolis, MN in Urban Education. My thesis connects White Privilege to my teaching. I have privately and group tutored all ages of students around the world. I have traveled around the world twice and am on my third passport. I currently teach Social Studies at an alternative high school. I believe a solid foundation in literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening) are instrumental for growth and a higher standard of living. We can all learn from each other. I value respect, willingness and a positive attitude. I like to make learning fun and meaningful. I put the information in your terms of understanding and set you up to make the connections. My favorite is when students have "ah-ha" moments, when the "light bulb goes off in their head." I believe all students learn differently and I design my instructional strategy to fit how you learn. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my expertise is in Geography, History and ESL. I have been in the "game of school" for a long time and know Standardized Test Prep, reading for comprehension and fluency and English Language acquisition. I like to have a good time, a smile on my face, laugh and make learning fun. There is a right time and place for everything. In my spare time, I enjoy being active outdoors.

I graduated from the University of Colorado with a BS in Business Admin and Accounting emphasis. I also received a Masters in Accounting from Regis University. During my undergrad studies I tutored a diverse group of students, in Accounting, Algebra and ESL classes.I understand how it feels to have challenges understanding a course, and because I've experienced this, I want the opportunity to encourage, guide and help students propel in the classes they are struggling with. The most fulfilling part of my tutoring journey was seeing a student (who had lost hope) come out victorious in their academic pursuit. My goal is to help students find their strength and believe in their academic abilities. With this they can achieve what they set their minds to.

Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.

Growing up as the oldest of five kids, I've spent a large part of my life being a tutor for my siblings. This helped me develop my teaching skills at a young age, and served me well when I became a recitation instructor at University of Colorado Denver, teaching upper-division genetics. My year-long tenure there only deepened my love of teaching and helped me 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 my toes academically, but to help those who may be struggling with various subjects throughout their academic careers. There is no better feeling than watching someone have a eureka moment of understanding, and I look forward to meeting and working with new students.As a Colorado native, I love spending my free time hiking and climbing my way through the Rockies. I also enjoy playing volleyball (being 6'8" has its advantages) and teaching myself to play the guitar.

I am a Senior at the University of Colorado Denver, majoring in History and Teacher Education in Social Studies at the Secondary level (Middle and High School). I expect to complete my Bachelor's program in Spring 2016, and anticipate receiving my Colorado Teaching Certification in Spring 2017. Although I have not yet ruled out Graduate School, I currently intend to teach High School History upon completing my certification.Though most of my tutoring experience has been with Undergraduates at the collegiate level, I have on occasion worked with younger students. I tend to encounter the same difficulties with all History students, regardless of their age or grade. They tell me that History is boring, and they don't consider it relevant to their lives. My goal is to change that perception by finding parallels between the subject matter and the modern world. History is so much more than a list of names and dates to be memorized. In order to truly understand the modern world one must be aware of how it came to be. If I can connect historical events to issues and ideas that matter to the student they will be much more receptive to the material.

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado. I received my Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering and my Masters Degree in Computer Science. I have been teaching for over 30 years. I started teaching when I was living overseas with my husband and teaching was one of the few jobs available. I found out that I love teaching, so I continued teaching when we returned to the United States first at the community college level but then at the middle and high school level as I followed my children's progress through school. As a military family we moved 16 times, so I have traveled extensively. Although I have taught a variety of subjects, my passion is computer science. I love working with students, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment when they master new material. I believe living is learning, and I care deeply that my students are successful. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, walking, and spoiling our cat.

I am currently a third year dental student at the CU Dental School and I would one day love to become a Pediatric dentist! I absolutely love working with kids and I think that becoming a teacher/tutor can be a valuable tool to one day use in my practice. Although I have a strong background in math and science, I also love to read and even dabble in some Spanish. I can work with all age groups and I think every student can teach me something as well! Learning how to relate to kids and giving them insight on how to solve problems can be very rewarding!

I am a graduate of University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana where I received my Bachelor degree in Math and Computer Science. I also earned my master degree from the University of Colorado-Denver in secondary mathematics teaching. I worked at big companies as a computer programmer and software companies in many roles. Then I switched careers and taught math and computer science at the high school level for many more years. In my experience helping students in those logical parts of the brain is natural and everybody can think logically. And when we are successful, it makes you feel proud and good inside.

The goal is getting good results because it is not how fast or how perfect our solutions are, it is the fun along the way and fun of learning.
