I have over 6 years of management accounting experience with increasing responsibilities. I also have financial and statistical analysis experience. I have mentored young accountants in the private sector and enjoy working with young professionals. I teach using example and practical use of concepts using practical application techniques. I prefer to relate education to real-world situations that can happen to anyone. For example, reconciling a bank account for a large company is a lot like balancing your own checkbook. I am patient and willing to give my all if the student shows the same level of commitment.

As a teacher I strive for fair but firm. I have certain expectations for my students and I try to the best of my abilities to help them succeed. I firmly believe in the idea that no two children learn alike and therefore I use multiple teaching strategies when implementing lesson plans with my students. I have a good sense of humor. I have found it to help tremendously when de-escalating serious and unsafe situations that may arise. I believe my students have also seen my sincerity in their education and therefore try harder than they might if they felt I did not care. I have my degree in business. After ten years, I wanted a career that would make a difference for others, not just myself. As a father of two, I have coached kids and taught Sunday School for many years and love working with children. I went back to school to obtain my teaching degree and certification.

Teaching is about much more than the transfer of information from one individual to another. As educators we are given an opportunity to play a unique role in helping students discover and achieve new potential. With the passing along of information, educators shape the way that students understand the world and their place in it. But much more is conveyed through teaching than just information. The teacher’s attitude or way of being toward the subject matter is communicated as well. Certainly there are numerous other factors that contribute to a student’s willingness and ability to explore and grow as a person. But I don’t think it can be denied that a teacher can have a powerful impact on a student’s growth as well. I intend to take up these principles and utilize my role as a teacher to aid students in their growth as individuals and in discovering new possibilities for themsel

My teaching style is definately dependant on the student's learning style. Some people need to see the answer and reverse engineer it to understand. Some people need to visually work problems out. My bread and butter would probably have to be teaching with logic. With the basic principles of logic, an individual can learn the basics to almost anything. Another style/gift of mine is cutting out the extra material. When instructors hand students material to learn, there is a large amount of information that is not critical. I find and relay the critical pieces. I do not really know, sometimes you just have to hit a student from multiple angles to get something to stick. I have always been at the top of my classes related to math and sciences. Doing so has forced me to be looked up to by fellow students. It seemed that students eventually ended up asking me the same questions as the teacher

My philosophy is that all children have the potential to succeed when given a fair chance so it is my joy to provide this chance. I examine the intellectual ways of relating to the world and how to convey and teach these different lessons. I change my technique to fit the child and I put a premium on interactive lessons, because I believe experience is extremely important in learning. It is my responsibility to present an engaging lesson in an understandable way. I graduated a year early from a private high school to go to Vassar College. During my sophmore year in highschool, I also took college courses at a local school and got all A's. I have been tutoring on my own since I was sixteen in many subjects. I worked professionally as a tutor for 1 1/2 years at Score Educational Centers. I also worked for half a year as an environmental teacher at a nature center. I have extensive experie

I first assess the child's knowledge (test them) and their study routine. Following, I create an individualized plan of study for him/her. What material does the child enjoy? How would he/she like to study? My goal is to create a fun learning environment therefore the child retains the information and wants to continue to learn. Games, pneumonic, songs, dice, cards, etc. are a part of my teaching style. I tutored a 10 year boy in all subjects for about 2 years Monday through Friday which was a fantastic experience; he is now at Baylor University in Texas. I substituted 5th and 6th grade and tutored one-on-one students whom required additional assistance. I recently tutored the FCAT curriculum to students ages 8-15 as well as foreign students and a child with ADHD. The positive feedback from the parents and students has made this position enjoyable.

My teaching style is compassionate and geared toward each individual student's learning needs. I strive to create learning situations that address the specific needs of each learner. This involves awareness of learning styles, which vary from student to student. My teaching style is also very patient and cognizant of each learner's struggles and obstacles. I will break down difficult tasks into simpler ones in order to make them easier to understand. In all of my endeavors, I do my best to lead by example. I taught fifth grade for four and a half years, and I student taught fifth grade for one additional semester. Soon I will receive my license to teach high school English, and I plan to pursue a career teaching high school English.

I believe education to be the single most important way to help reach our potential. During my years at Florida Atlantic University, I learned that there are no barriers for our abilities to learn. I have earned a bachelor degree in accounting which was due to my love of both mathematics and business. I graduated with honors (Magna Cum Laude) in May 2003. While persuing my degree I tutored fellow college students in Algebra, chemistry, biology, physics, accounting and finance. I find great satisfaction in helping others learn. I know that not everyone learns the same way. I believe my job as a tutor is to try to help the student find his/her best method of learning. I believe in teaching by example - solving problems together and then challenging the individual to go at it on their own. I believe in creating interest by presenting problems in several ways and using terms which best relat
