Get The Learning Started

Tutor

I am fun, funny, creative, and imaginative. Kids love working with me. I have a lot of theatre background, so I love reading aloud! I am really good at teaching about and discussing a good book. I have been recognized more than most in my career newspapers, various news reports and interviews, and teaching awards. I've been blessed for this attention, but it's not why I love to teach. That love is in the eyes of my students when they feel proud of themselves when they get that AHA MOMENT when they laugh and think independently, and most of all when they question things around them. I love getting kids outside, hands-on learning, and "old school" creative/artsy approaches to learning. Read more

    Our daughter has always struggled with algebra, 3 sessions with Don and she scores 27-30 on her 1st post tutorial exam. Don is a very polite and personable professional who creates a relaxed environment that is conducive to learning. Our daughter has a newfound sense of confidence and no longer dreads attending math class or taking exams. Don is a true ***** 5 star results oriented tutor. Jim Arvada

    Don was very professional and accommodating to my level of Spanish as well as my learning style. He was genuinely concerned with making sure we were addressing the topics I wanted to address each lesson and always had several teaching and learning tools at his fingertips. He was an absolute joy to work with and I look forward to more lessons with him!
