More About This Tutor...

I am a strong believer in teaching through examples and letting students try to apply the knowledge I have taught them at various smaller stages, then apply it to the bigger picture. I love working with kids, and I think that with patience, understanding, and time, all students are capable of reaching their potential.
As an undergraduate, I attended Purdue University and worked as a teaching assistant where I ran my own lab, instructing students for one of their core management courses. In my junior year, I was asked to apply to an invitation-only program for an an accelerated MBA program only for exceptional students. I am now entering my final year of this program and will graduate in 2011 with a BS in Business Management and a Masters degree in Business Administration. The graduate program is team focused and emphasizes working with and teaching diverse groups of people.

I have been working in education for over 6 years in a variety of settings. In San Francisco, I worked in a small non-profit independent school, an art and theatre-based after school program, and a public alternative school. Currently, I am working at Snacks Crossing in Pike Township. Over these years, I also tutored at the local Sylvan Learning Center. In each setting, I have always gravitated toward providing extra learning support wherever needed, whether that included special instruction for ESL, literacy, learning disabilities, or emotional/behavioral disabilities. I found in each experience that I can teach any subject to any student and I have always enjoyed working with the wide variety of age groups that these jobs required.
My first priority when working one-on-one with a student is to establish a positive connection. This cultivates trust and helps them to open up ... read more

While I enjoy working with a younger population, I have had more experience with middle school, high school, and college students. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also expect that my students perform the tasks asked of them in the time given, as to further reach our goals. I have a descriptive way of teaching, but I am also a firm believer in using abstract methods in order to obtain and understanding. Visual aids can also be very helpful, such as using pictures, every-day items, or a chemistry model set.
As a graduate of a 'Public Ivy' institution, I have had a very well-rounded and intensive education. I earned two degrees from IU: a BA in Spanish and a BS in Biology and Chemistry. My experience involves subjects such as: Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry (General and Organic), Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Physics. I have had many s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold a bachelor degree in Finance with advanced graduate study in Accounting. I have passed the Uniform CPA exam and have over two decades of experience in private industry performing in a financial management capacity. In addition, I have taught accounting in a post secondary academic environment.
I believe in foundation. Acquiring an education, whether general or specialized, is a process of building from the ground up. The understanding and related application of fundamentals must be mastered before advanced instruction can be offered and assimilated, absorbed. Proper accounting for transactions which ultimately lights the path for business success is rooted in theory. My teaching focus is in understanding the accepted theory supporting the application of technique.

My style is relaxed, but focused, with a touch of humor to ease nerves. The first step is creating comfort and trust between the student and the tutor. To do this, when coaching Chemistry, I would have the student present a problem. Then, I'd say, well, let's figure this out together. And, truly, that is what we would do, step by step, by asking questions. What do we know? What do we need to figure out? Essentially showing them the thought process out loud, and involving them in obtaining the solution. This approach helps develop confidence. Repeating creates familiarity. Eventually, most students become confident enough to try one on their own, and my role becomes encourager, light-hearted and sincere.
As an engineer and manager, training employees was an integral component of work performed throughout my ten-year professional career. I created systems and procedures, f ... read more
