I am a professional with 16 years experience managing the accounting records and training staff of both small and large companies. I completed my BBA in Accounting while working full time and managing my household. In doing so my husband and I instilled our two boys with a strong work ethic. I completed a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management a dozen years later. This online experience allowed me to develop a level of written communication skills that my professors as well as my employers could appreciate. I also earned 113 credits towards a Liberal Arts Degree at Queens College right out of High School. I majored in English Literature and minored in Education. As a teacher I believe it is important to communicate high expectations for the success of all students, regardless of age, race or socio-economic background. I believe all students can succeed.

I have always enjoyed working with children and understanding their perceptions of the given subject matter. This often results in a personal, in-depth level of conversation normally not available to most students. It has only been about five years since I was a high school student myself, and I find that it is generally very easy for me to communicate with students on a personal level, as a friend rather than from a distance as only a hired instructor. Still, I handle tutoring lessons appropriately, am always very considerate of a parent's requests and am still certain to push a student to make sure he or she makes the grade rather than to simply entertain them for an hour or two without preparing them for their academic responsibilities. Having had pursued a BA in English, not only did I focus on the course material within each class, but even more importantly, I managed to greatly enh

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information. My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and ton

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym. I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
