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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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 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

I have always been involved in education and I enjoy helping students! While I was at Purdue, I tutored Algebra, Geometry, and Trig to members of the Boilermaker football team from 1990-1993. After I graduated, I taught Russian and math at Lafayette Jefferson High School. I currently am a director of a non-profit organization in Indianapolis. We provide Spanish programs for children. My role is to hire, train, observe and coach teachers. I have tutored students in Math, Russian, English conversation/reading/writing, Microsoft Applications (Excel/Word/Powerpoint), Internet navigation, and Website sales.
I have experience teaching in large and small groups, and one-on-one. I have worked with preschoolers, school-age children, and adults. My teaching styles and methods are adjusted based on students' needs and interests. Regardless of the subject, I try to make the subject mat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would characterize my teaching style as relationally oriented. I want the student to know that I care about him or her. I may not articulate as much, but I want the student to see that I am giving my time to serve their needs and not my own. Loosely speaking, I am also a proponent of multiple intelligences. The creative teacher can usually identify a way to relate material and content using a methodology that connects. My teaching style is based in facts. I philosophically reject radical post-modernity which posits that truth is a moving target. The student does not have the right to tell me that 1+1 = 3 because 1+1 = 2. I believe excellent teaching is rather like music or cooking – part art, part science. You don't get a beautiful wedding cake or a stunning symphony without a good measure of both.
I have extensive preparation and training that will allow me to succeed a ... 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.

As a Ball State University MBA student, I am very driven to achieve a high level of success in all areas of life, especially education.

I have developed excellent communication skills in writing and orally. I was the president of the business fraternity Beta Alpha Psi and gained much experience in leading and developing individuals in that position.
I sincerely enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages.

I love to see people succeed and am willing to go to any measure to help children achieve success education-wise and in life. It is imp ... read more
