About Connie
I am currently employed at DriveSafe, a branch of Baron Education, as a driving instructor in a classroom setting for since May 2021, with the highest survey scores of student satisfaction in the company for the month of August 2021. I have 2 months of experience in test prep for the Colorado state SAT and ACT with Baron Education, which was before I transferred to their driver's education department. I have also worked as an independent tutor for high school math and physics for three years, working with anywhere between 3-5 students a week either online or in person. I also worked as a course assistant for 1 semester in during college for a sophomore level computational methods class.
I have worked very closely with 14-18 year-old students for many years now, and am keenly aware about how a handful of students can be disruptive to the learning of the rest of the class. I have always followed a three-strike warning system. The first one being a verbal warning, the second being a temporary removal from class and a notification sent to the parents, and the final one resulting in a permanent removal from the class for the day. Fortunately, I have been able to keep students engaged well enough that I have never had to give out all three strikes.
As I have come to tutor more and more students over the years, I have been quick to find methods that work for students, and have a “tool belt” of tactics, questions, and activities that I can try on a student to student basis to find what does and doesn’t work with them. I show empathy, letting them know that these lessons can be tough, and emphasize what truly is important for them to know, and what could be memorized for the sake of passing the test. I express to new students of mine the power of note taking, and that even if they never go back to look at their notes, the act of writing things down in itself can help them memorize the material.
The maximum a student can ever be engaged and motivated to learn the material is entirely dependent on the level of engagement the teacher shows themselves. No student will ever be interested in math, physics, or basis vehicle operation if the teacher can’t even show that engagement themselves. This is why my lessons always have energy, deep explanations, and even a PG joke where I find I can slip one in. Bad teachers miss the mark in all of these dimensions. They always ask too much from their students, while never giving anything back to make the classroom experience more enjoyable. Some teachers also put too much emphasis on behavior and discipline, allowing for the effectiveness of their lesson to be second priority. And while I too never get complicit in my disciplining of misbehaving students, the goal of making sure these students learn and pass their tests is always in the front of my mind.

She’s very thorough and it’s always fun. I leave having learned more material that I know I’ll actually use, and looking forward to the next session.
Connie really helped me out in AP Calculus. Connie sat me down and made sure I wasn’t just doing the work but understanding why. Math has always been hard for me and Connie made it easier and made sure I understood how to do the work.
Connie has an exemplary outlook when it comes to educating and answering questions for student material. At all times Connie displayed great teaching abilities, superior knowledge, and made my child feel at ease while learning difficult course material.
Very professional very accommodating and she made math fun. We can’t thank Connie enough for helping our daughter.
