Experience Summary
I have 5 years of real life accounting and finance experience. I was top of my class throughout high school and college. I enjoy working with kids/young adults. I find joy in helping them learn and understand new concepts. I did volunteer tutoring for two years at the local library helping kids in grades K-12 with a variety of different subjects. Although not related to the classroom, I've also coached girls volleyball for 4 years to a variety of teams with girls ages 10-16. I took pride in teaching them new skills and seeing improvement during practices and in games. I would take the same pride in helping a student understand a new concept or get an A on an assignment.
Teaching Style
I'm a hands-on learner. I believe in learning from mistakes. I encourage students to try and see how far they get before they stumble then we can work through their problems together. Sometimes they know more than they think and all they need is a confidence boost! I also feel like I understand when someone is frustrated and a continued push to finish or understand a concept is going to cause greater frustration and hinder the learning process.
