A Little Bit About Me...

I have discovered over the past year of substituting that I absolutely love teaching. Students are very comfortable with me as I am a very positive, friendly person who smiles a lot. As the parent of a college student, I was a tutor for 12 years. I know how to make learning fun and rewarding.
I have a BS in Business and have worked in Mortgage and Banking for many years. This industry requires excellent written communication skills as well as practical math skills. I have been a substitute teacher for grades K - 12 for the past year in all subjects and have C-Best Certification. I am very familiar with the curriculum and I have an excellent rapport with students.

I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer instructor of bi-weekly English language classes in Romania and Moldova. In both contexts, I have taught interactive courses for students of various ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds. From my background in Linguistics, I understand how language 'works'. I have a quiver full of tools to use in explaining the linguistic nuances, which I use to explain the relationship between thought and language. Additionally, I have been involved in various research projects on language usage, language change, and language learning.
I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on whic ... read more

I love the learning process. Few things in life are as rewarding as teaching and learning. Stylistically, I would consider myself to a patient and passionate, yet challenging teacher. I try to understand the learning style of each person and try to direct my efforts in ways that are conducive to each individual's learning style. I try to inject real life examples into teaching as I believe that relevance helps in the process. Also, I like to infuse humor into the process as I believe that most people learn when their minds are open and anxiety-free.
I believe that education and learning are two of the most exciting and fulfilling elements of life and believe that helping others to learn is a way to give something back to this world. I have a Masters degree in Business. Not surprisingly, my math skills are quite good. Additionally, I possess strong communication skills (verbal ... read more

I have been a senior financial and operating executive for the past 40 years in a variety of industries. I have also taught Finance at the MBA level at Frostburg State College, MBA program. I am very knowledgeable in Accounting, finance, economics, math, history, various business topics including marketing. I have been certified to tutor over 15 subjects bu another tutoring service.
I am very much focused on teaching concepts and then ensuring that practical examples are worked to make sure the concepts are understood and applied. My style is to emphasize understanding the underlying concepts and logic that drive the subject matter. Once understood I like to use exercises and problems to apply these concepts and make sured how they are applied is well understood and the student can arrive at correct solutions.
