Experience Summary
My background consists of more than twenty years in the accounting field. Currently, I work as a payroll, accounts payable and general ledger accountant for a nonprofit organization in downtown Greenville. Some people wonder why an accountant would have an English degree. Well, English majors make great accountants because they possess excellent analytical and conscientious problem-solving skills. Last year, I worked as an English and math tutor for the No Child Left Behind Program and was thrilled to watch my students improve two or more grade levels.
Teaching Style
As a tutor, I find it very important to display compassion and patience as I help my students understand their subject. If the student does not understand a particular aspect of a subject, we work on that aspect until clarity is achieved. Each individual possesses his or her own, unique learning style. I have found that applying a student’s particular interests to the subject at hand is beneficial in obtaining success. Whatever a student’s challenge might be, I always apply a caring, non-critical and encouraging approach.
