Award-Winning Writing Tutors in Highlands Ranch, CO

...tutoring all areas of Math, Science, and Literature, I believe Algebra and basic Chemistry form a strong foundation for anyone considering a 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...

...high school, and coaching the collegiate alpine ski racing team at CSM. I began to enjoy math, science, and physics when I was high school. I believe this happened because I had an amazing teacher that helped inspire me to learn math and physics. It is important as a tutor and teacher to explain and teach material; however, I believe it is crucial for the tutor to help inspire a student to learn. Change the...

...the student, whatever his or her needs may be. Outside of teaching and studying History, I am an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, and was so excited to take my oldest child on her first backpacking trip over this last summer! Additionally, I have started learning to play guitar (with very modest success so far), as I have always wanted to do so and believe in the importance of always learning something new.

...since. After graduation I taught 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....

...California during high school, and I have led informal study groups during both high school and college, including founding a Technology Club at Cherry Creek High School. I have a diverse skill set, and I am comfortable tutoring Math, Science, Computer Science, and English, as well as the ACT and SAT. I have always enjoyed tutoring in the sciences, especially Chemistry, not only because of how much I enjoy the topic but also because of...

...and spent 15 years working, learning and living in New York City until my recent move to Colorado. For me, not every subject could be mastered with the same learning techniques and I have learned to adapt myself which I hope to teach my clients to do the same. I have a background in hospitality, public relations, occupational therapy, and marketing. Everyone has the ability to learn and try new things and with experience comes...

...well before I even left for college. I have worked in many aspects of education including outdoor education, nannying, the classroom, and as a museum educator. Having worked in a variety of places, I am able to help students with their studies using creative and fun methods. I love History and Literature, and I enjoy being able to help students learn the joy of reading. My favorite subject in elementary school was Math and I...

...are where my tutoring strengths lie, especially in Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology. Don't be fooled, though! I'm also great with English, essay writing, and grammar. Plus, I'm a not-so-secret history buff, especially when it comes to European History. I've also got quite a bag of tricks when it comes to study tips, organization, and balancing studying with life. I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor...

...where I currently teach general biology courses. I've worked for the US EPA and USGS, and I'm currently looking into PhD programs. I tutor general biology and English subjects, including test prep (SAT, GRE, PSAT, AP). I was a National Merit Scholar for the PSAT. I'm awfully pleased to be putting my poor, neglected English degree to good use! My tutoring philosophy generally centers around identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses, and giving them the...

...tutored many college students in many different classes at Metro State for three years. I then started to tutor all grade levels while going to school to get my teaching license. Once I received that, I proceeded to both tutor Science and English as well as substitute teach science in Jeffco Public Schools. I am also a mother of a very active preteen boy. So I certainly know my way around kids.
