Experience Summary
In college I tutored at one of the high schools while monitoring study hall three days a week.
After graduation I joined the Peace Corp. I served in the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific. I taught farming skills and assisted nurse volunteers with health and medical needs.
In the business world I trained people for their responsibilties and mentored many individuals with their careers.I have over 25 years of mentoring and training experience.
In 1983 I received my Masters in Marketing and Management, with an interest in international business.
I am now at a point in life that I would like to share my accumulated knowledge,experience and skills with younger people, to give them a head start in our fast changing world.
Teaching Style
My style has always been to encourage questions from the student or with the many people who have worked for me over the years to challenge the status quo. I encourage individuals to stretch the envelope and to seek different solutions rather than accept what has been done before. I have also stressed that there is never a bad question or wrong to think outside the box. For example I have always asked students, "Why study history?" What I relish now,is that many respond, "To learn how we got here."
Communication is the key and it is very important for the student to trust and respect the relationship that develops between student and tutor. With out this trust learning becomes very difficult.
