I am a tutor with over 23 years of experience in addition to being Early Childhood Teacher Qualified with credentials covering the instruction of children in preschool through the third grade. I have also received formal training in Literacy instruction to students up through the sixth grade and to English Language Learners. I have also enjoyed success working with individuals with various learning challenges such as dysgraphia, dyslexia, ADHD and autism. As a tutor, my teaching methods are interactive and discovery-oriented. I provide instruction in the areas of preschool-6th grade (all subjects), GED/SAT/ASVAB/PSAT/ACT test prep and in specialized subjects such as Braille and assistive technology. I can also serve my students’ families by providing consultation and support in the navigation of the IEP process and in finding resources to assist your student in achieving their life and academic goals. I am also a happily married mom of three; and, our oldest son is autistic.

I am currently filling my calendar for spots opening up - both online and in person beginning July 6. I am scheduling for the rest of the summer and Fall 2023

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I have an Associates Degree; and, as a liberal arts major in college, I took several classes in U.S. as well as Native American History. As a tutor in American History, I like to look at it as helping my students understand the American meta-narrative, meaning America's big story. As with any story, there are always two sides and, when tutoring this subject, I like to take the holistic approach and explore both. I look forward to working with you!
Anatomy

Anatomy

I am an experienced tutor with formal training in anatomy and physiology - both on the high school level and in college as I was once a pre-med student before changing my major. I was also a Johns Hopkins University talent scholar and pursued by some of the world’s premiere medical colleges and universities.
Braille

Braille

I am blind. I am a graduate of the Colorado Center for the Blind (CCB) independence training program where I learned Grade 1 uncontracted Braille, Grade 2 Contracted braille and computer Braille. In the 11 years since my graduation from CCB, I have used Grade 1 and Grade 2 Braille for reading, writing, labeling, note taking, etc.
Career Development

Career Development

In my adult life, I have launched two successful careers. Beginning my professional life as an information technology professional, I have worked in many different environments as a telecom and networking consultant. After sustaining disabling injuries in a car accident, I have had the experience of re-defining myself as a professional after a life-altering event. I have also been a career trainer for adult subsidy recipients and at-risk youth in such areas as self-advocacy, interview skills, resume writing, professional ethics and so on. As such, I can walk individuals through the necessary steps of defining or, if necessary, re-defining their careers.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

As a certified Colorado educator, I have close to 4000 hours of field experience. My formal training covers teaching children up to third grade; however, I have taken additional courses in literacy and education that allow me the ability to adapt to tutoring children in the late elementary years and beyond. I also have education and experience to tutor and support challenged learners of all ages with measurable success.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I won multiple science fair awards at local, regional and state competitions including multiple awards from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for achieving excellence in the sciences. I was also inducted into the National Junior Honor Society, an honor roll student for seven consecutive years, a National Merit Semi-Finalist and a Johns Hopkins University Talent Scholar.
English

English

I am a Colorado educator with over 4500 hours of teaching experience. In addition, I have four years of experience as a tutor. I majored in English when I was in college and have received multiple awards in creative writing competitions including national contests hosted by such organizations as the Daughters of the American Revolution.
GED

GED

I took the test myself years ago and did very well, and I now hold teaching credentials from the state of Colorado. I have also taught GED test prep classes back in Houston Texas where I helped several students get their GED. I also helped a lady here in Littleton start her journey to getting her GED.
General Computer

General Computer

Before becoming a certified Colorado educator, I spent almost two decades in the information technology industry working my way up from doing cable plant installation to desktop support to network administration and project management. I have also been a computer instructor for individuals as well as small businesses. My students have also included challenged learners.
Grammar

Grammar

In addition to my certification and experience as an Early Childhood educator, I am an award-winning amateur writer and playwright. I have consistently scored high in the verbal sections of such standardized tests as the SAT and the PSAT. A testament to this fact is my designation as a National Merit Semi-finalist and a Johns Hopkins University Talent Scholar.
Handwriting

Handwriting

I am an Early Childhood educator in Colorado. My formal teaching credentials cover children ages birth to third grade, and our training is heavily concentrated in all aspects of literacy including handwriting. I have specific experience with Handwriting Without Tears, the handwriting curriculum used in many schools and early learning centers nationwide.
Literature

Literature

As an English Major at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, I have studied American and British Literature including in-depth critical analyses of Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, Homer, and other major authors. I have also taken multi-cultural classes in Native American Studies and Chicano Studies exploring the literature springing from both ethnic groups which has further expanded and sharpened my literary knowledge base and aptitude. This broad knowledge base also makes me more versatile as a tutor.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I am a technology consultant with close to two decades of experience. A large portion of that time was spent being a Microsoft networking and application professional. I have used Excel in a variety of business, academic and personal settings to accomplish a wide range of tasks such as budgeting, price comparisons, business project metrics, data analysis, sales tracking, customer relationship management, etc. I also have experience with Excel macros.
Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint

I am a former IT professional with almost 20 years in technology under my belt. I was mainly a desktop support/help desk person and network administrator, which means I have experience in training computer users with varying levels of computer expertise on how to use their computer equipment and applications. I am completely comfortable with Microsoft Powerpoint as well as with the other members of the Microsoft Office Suite such as Excel and Word. I also have experience with Office 365.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

I have been using and supporting Microsoft Word for over 20 years in my role as an IT professional having a broad knowledge base and wide platform of experience in the areas of software application installation/support, hardware installation/support, networking, telephony as well as business and technical communications. I have used Microsoft Word not only as a business professional but also as a student at the university level so I would be familiar with MS Word functions that would prove to be very useful to students.
Phonics

Phonics

As a certified early educator and experienced tutor, I not only have specific training in literacy instruction but also experience in the field helping students improve their reading and reading comprehension skills. This is mainly accomplished through phonics instruction, the teaching of critical analysis - i.e. being able to draw out the main idea of a story and the sequencing of a story - and learning to make inferences based on context. I also have experience in helping challenged learners in these areas - particularly learners struggling with autism, dyslexia and visual impairment.
QuickBooks

QuickBooks

Having an IT career that spanned nearly two decades, I have a broad knowledge base and wide array of professional experience in the area of application support, hardware/software installation/support, data networking and telephony. I have also owned small businesses where I have used Quickbooks effectively as my main accounting platform and have trained other business owners to do the same.
Reading

Reading

As a Colorado early educator, I have specific training in learning through literacy, meaning I can center a whole developmentally appropriate curriculum with lessons in reading.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I took the SAT in the seventh grade and scored high enough to become a Johns Hopkins University Talent Scholar. I took it again in the eleventh grade for the purpose of college entrance. Both times I scored high on the verbal section, and I majored in English at Metro. I am also an award winning amateur playwright and short story writer.
Spelling

Spelling

I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education as well as over 3000 hours of field experience as an educator in Colorado. I am also a multiple spelling bee award winner, and I achieved a high score on Wyzant's qualifying test for Spelling tutors.
Writing

Writing

Writing has been a hobby of mine that I have enjoyed for many years. I have written poems, short stories, expository essays, research papers and narratives. I am an award-winning amateur playwright having had my scripts receive international honors in writing competitions. I wrote my first play at the age of 9; and, it was performed at the local community children's theater in the town I lived in at the time. I majored in English at Metropolitan State University of Denver where I was within a year of graduation when I stopped going to school to raise my three children.

Excellent tutor!

Tiffany has a unique perspective that other tutors we have worked with do not possess. My daughter is severely dyslexic & she is actually learning well for the very first time. She is in 10th grade. We wish we had found her years ago!

Amy, 13 lessons with Tiffany

Knowledgeable and very patient

It was very nice to work with Tiffany. She is very patient. We went over formatting commands in Word 365 in regards to tables and templates. We also went over file saving best practices in order to preserve any master templates and specific client information. I needed to understand basics commands and will be back for more in depth questions and help with other Office 365 aspects.

Anatomy and science for Paramedic studys

I have been greatful to find a tutor to help me in the understandings of the Anatomy of the body. I have many learning challenges and have been very greatful to have found someone that truly has been making me feel like I understand the material and is giving me the skills to be successful later on if I go back to school for anything else. My girlfriend sees the changes and has seen how helpful these sessions have been and how much I have gotten out of it. She has seen me grow and seen me not struggle as much as I was. I would suggest Tiffany as a tutor because I promise you that at the end of the day you will leave knowing your information and feeling like you had gotten a lot out of the session. Tiffany is very reasonable and is always willing to work with you. She loves what she do

Helpful for Handwriting

I think Tiffany will be helpful to my 6 year olds handwriting and spelling progression! We were pleased with the first session and are looking forward to more!

Allison, 10 lessons with Tiffany

Very knowledgeable and patient

Tiffany came and spent sometime with my 7 yr old. She was very patient, and my child responded to her very well. We will definitely recommend her for any troubled young ones. She has a very kind, knowledgeable and has a gentle demeanor.

Katina, 1 lesson with Tiffany

Very patient and very knowledgeable!

Tiffany has gone over her expected duty to help my son with his reading and comprehension. She has implemented many new strategies to his learning style and to our home to make homework time more enjoyable. I have noticed a difference after a few weeks. Thank you, Tiffany!

Brittany, 4 lessons with Tiffany

Excellent!

We saw improvement in first handwriting session! We will be continuing more sessions. She was very good with our 7 year old and with explaining her methods and observations to us.

Amazing tutor

My daughter was struggling with math greatly. She has been struggling since about 8th grade and it was really hurting her self esteem. Tiffany somehow made it all makes sense to her and we cannot begin to say how grateful we are. Sierra, was pretty picky too about who hey tutor was but Tiffany made her feel comfortable and was non-judgmental from the beginning. Sierra just passed her final test and we are sad to say goodbye to Tiffany but she will have a permanent place in our hearts and our gratitude.
