Hello! I’m Andrew, an experienced educator and school lea

Andrew A.

I am an experienced educator and school leader with more than ten years of experience working with elementary and secondary students in the United States and international schools. I hold a Master of Arts in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Colorado Denver, a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and History from Adams State University, and a Colorado K–6 Elementary Education teaching license. My professional experience includes teaching and educational leadership positions in Colorado, South Korea, Cambodia, and Myanmar. I currently serve as Dean of Students at an elementary school in Colorado.

Throughout my career, I have taught students in classroom settings and provided individual and small-group support. I am qualified to tutor elementary reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, study skills, and academic English. I have also supported older students with writing, research, organization, and critical-thinking skills. Working in international schools has given me extensive experience supporting multilingual learners and students from many different academic and cultural backgrounds.

My tutoring approach is patient, encouraging, and personalized. I begin by identifying what the student understands, where difficulties are occurring, and how the student learns most effectively. I then break challenging skills into manageable steps, model the process, provide guided practice, and gradually help the student work independently. I use examples connected to the student’s interests and provide constructive feedback without making the student feel embarrassed about mistakes. My goal is not only to improve grades or complete an assignment, but also to strengthen foundational skills, confidence, organization, and the ability to become a more independent learner.
