About Rebecca

I love learning. As a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, I know that opportunity and success looks an awful lot like hard work paying off. As the founding tutor for the Biology Lab and tutoring program and serving several semesters in the Nursing Program's student learning lab at Mesa State College (now Colorado Mesa University), I have had the extreme pleasure of helping thousands of students achieve their scholastic goals, realize their own potential, and take great joy in seeing their grades soar. Aside from being a mom, this is the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

I specialize in tutoring Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Genetics, Microbiology, Pathophysiology, Radiology, elementary math thru Algebra1, General Chemistry, English, Reading, and history for all grades. No matter the subject under review, my goal for each session is to work with the student on their current lesson assignments as well as preparing for upcoming topics and constantly review for exams. I customize each session to the student's unique needs, gauging and matching the student's learning style. At the student and/or parent's request, I am prepared to assign homework after each lesson as well as provide periodic progress reports.

I am fully qualified to tutor students of all grade levels, having successfully tutored students ages 4 years through 78 years in various subjects, including, but not limited to, elementary math, reading, computer skills, writing/English, science, history, and social studies. I excel at clarifying subjects where a student struggles, and adding challenges to keep students engaged when needed. I am comfortable working within the lessons the student receives within their coursework (homework help) as well as adding outside material to help solidify the concepts currently being studied.

Having utilized tutors myself in the past, I hold myself to an incredibly high standard, treating each tutoring opportunity as if I were the student and asking what I would want out of my tutor. My policy is to never bill for a session for which the student and parent are not completely satisfied. My many years as a student have also given me a crystal clear understanding of the budgetary issues with which may students and their families contend - I am open to discussing a flexible fee structure (to a point) if that is the only roadblock standing in the way of my helping a student to their highest success. I am also a very firm believer in the principle that as humans we place a higher value on that for which we strive the hardest and will allow neither myself nor my services nor my student's efforts to be sold cheap.

I know that students today have little free time and I treat the student's time as my own - precious. While I try to be as flexible as possible, I do have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I am ultimately and fully committed to my students' success.

To ensure that students have a place to study that is conducive to learning, I work primarily out of the Pikes Peak Library District's study rooms, and therefore primarily during library hours. I am happy to travel to the Pikes Peak Library District Branch that works best for my students, though traveling more than my specified radius or after hours does incur an additional fee and can be worked out on a case-by-case basis. The East, Penrose, and Library 21c branches have rooms for reservation and are the most accessible in the city, though the others can work if scheduling far enough in advance.

Online lessons are a great way for students to learn when distances seem insurmountable. I am very well versed in Wyzant's online interface and am incredibly willing to meet with my students online. Since the start of 2016, I have been one of the top 3 tutors in Colorado Springs, with regular online sessions from Maine to California, Texas to Wisconsin.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals as you complete your education and am honored that you would consider allowing me to assist you in such an important investment in your future.
