Experience Summary
I have worked in the area of accounting for over 25 years. I worked my way through college while working a fulltime job and completed my degree in 2003 with enough hours to sit for the CPA exam for which I am currently studying. My work background has included all facets of the accounting industry. While completing my final few classes, I worked as a bookkeeper for one of the local accounting firms. Once my degree was completed I accepted a staff accountant position. Currently, I am employed with the State of Alabama as a Unemployment Compensation Field Deputy. I am required to perform tax audits as well as collections of reports and delinquent taxes.
Teaching Style
In today's classroom environment, I feel like some students might be a little hesitant to ask questions and to ask for quidance. This in part could be due to a teacher's overload and inability to provide one-on-one instruction or perhaps due to peer pressure and the student feeling like they could be viewed as "not measuring up" by some of their classmates. As a high school student, I had a teacher who dramatically influenced my life and my future career. She instilled in me the love for accounting. I hope I have learned by example. All students have potential. Some just need a little extra guidance and direction. I have found through the students I have privately tutored in the past that step-by-step instruction and repetition works best. Also applying everyday concepts to the application seems to makes it easier for the student to understand.
