About Rebecca


Bio

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...

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 b

Public Speaking

I have given more than 100 speeches in various settings for audiences large and small, completed Toastmasters training, and taken Voice and Diction as well as Speechmaking classes in college, both with the top marks in the class. I have more than 10 years experience in visual presentation making and Powerpoint.

Proofreading,

Proofreading

Matching written projects with rubric qualifications is hardly ever easy and a second pair or eyes can be immensely helpful. I have been reviewing projects, papers, and proposals, both scholastic and professional, for more than 20 years. All reviews and proofs include complete review, markups, and commentary as well as optional review and discussion sessions.

History

American History,

American History

I have always loved history and am thrilled to live in such a dynamic country with such a vivid history. Traditional history learning is about memorizing dates and names, but I know history to be the bright, enchanting story of all of us - and I am excited to help you see History come alive. With excellent scores in all of my history classes, from general Civics to AP American History and even college-level Constitutional Theory, I have been gifted with a wide and deeply grounded comprehension of where we have been. Come with me to discover where our history will take us.
Anthropology,

Anthropology

I completed 24 hours anthropology study in undergrad. I was in the top 10 in each of my 6 classes. Topics mastered were evolutionary/archaeological anthropology, civilization/societal development, comparative religion as an anthropological tool, and America as a foreign culture.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

Want to know the scariest sentence in the English language? "Don't worry - I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Love it or hate it, our government is arguably the best version of government to spring from the mind of man - so far. I have been an avid student of citizenship, governance, and the various methods by which man has ruled his peers since I first understood that our government had something to do with me - and all of us- or roughly since about 1994. My education in politics and governance has been rigorous, with AP Civics my freshman year of high school and lead me to join the Student Government in College.

Biology,

Biology

Biology has always been my favorite science and why not? Chemistry in motion, physics with a purpose, and all the gooey bits that make living things so fascinating - Biology has it all! I have been teaching biology to my peers, my juniors, and my seniors (from pre-school through post-doctoral graduates) for nearly 30 years and I can't wait to help you discover your own passion for the dynamic organisms and ecosystems that surround us all.

Nursing

Nursing

I have 5000+ hours experience tutoring nursing and pre-nursing students both in person and online. I have enough understanding of nursing school procedures and requirements that while I as in my B.S. in Biology undergrad studies at Mesa State College, I was asked to work in the nursing lab to help nursing students with their courses. I was also the founding tutor for the Biology Studies tutoring lab, where I was the chief pre-nursing tutor, preparing struglling pre-nursing students for the rigors of one of the top nursing programs in the state. I have the unique ability to prepare students to become student nurses as well as work with nursing students to understand the often challenging and complex material to become effective health-care professionals by engaging the critical thinking skills that the profession requires but is often not required until entry into nursing programs nation wide.

Anatomy

I have been tutoring in Human Anatomy and Physiology since 1998, when I supplemented and supported my own classmates in high school. Since then, I have majored in human biology and sciences for two separate degrees and have assisted students from middle school through post-doctoral graduate courses in their mastery of the amazing Human Machine.

Botany

I have over 20 credit hours in undergraduate and graduate level course work in botany, plant anatomy, cellular biology, and genetics. I also completed a 200 hour independent study internship in wine making and viticulture. I established and operated the Biology open study lab at Mesa State College, tutoring all levels of college students.
Microbiology,

Microbiology

My eye has been glued to a microscope since Christmas of 1990 - I received my first Fischer-Price microscope and haven't been able to live without a microscope close at hand since! Microbiology courses in high school and college, all with grades in the 96th percentile, have only served to fan the flames. Lab protocols and tests, and interpretation of often irreconcilable results are especially fun and Bergey's Manual is my idea of a "light read".

Great tutor, very patient

Rebecca’s help has been invaluable in my (college) microbiology class! I need an A in all of my pre-requisites to be considered for a program and Rebecca has helped me maintain that so far.

Connie, 44 lessons with Rebecca

Clear, Knowledgeable, and Structured.

I've been working with Rebecca on AP Biology. She explains concepts really clearly, which helps a lot for both assignments and tests. She helps by working with some materials I have, and also brings in outside materials to help me learn.

Tracy, 23 lessons with Rebecca

OUTSTANDING

SHE WAS AMAZING! She was able to quickly see my daughter's deficiencies and take it from there!!!! I feel like we hit the lottery finding her! She would explain the material and then make sure my daughter was comfortable with it before moving on. My daughter said " Mom, where did you find her??? She made me feel at ease and motivated to learn!" Rebecca T is impressive!

Very patient and kind

Despite the difficult course material, Rebecca continues explaining and re-explaining in hopes of increasing understanding. It’s clear that she wants the student to succeed. Very much appreciated!

Mercedes, 7 lessons with Rebecca

Helpful, patient and knowledgeable

I’m currently in an accelerated RN program. It’s no joke when they tell you time is going to fly by and the volume of workload you have can be crazy. After only two visits with Rebecca, my stress levels have gone down and my self-esteem and confidence have increased. She listens to whatever I have to say and makes a plan from there. She has provided great practical advice from how to study, when to study, and what to study. I was feeling like a wreck before her so I appreciate that she has chosen to use her skills and knowledge to help others struggling like myself. I will definitely be keeping her as my tutor.
