A Little Bit About Me...

For kids up to 12 years old, I use a variety of methods and instructional tools such as colorful foam and board books, coloring books, flashcards, posters, videos, audios, and games among others (some materials may be at an extra cost). Puzzles, music, drawing, and physical activity are important in a child’s world of learning through exploration and critical thinking. Kids’ lessons usually start with common vocabulary such as shapes, colors, food, family members, etc. and gradually transition to simple 2-3 word sentences after acquiring a certain amount of vocabulary.

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

Math, Accounting tutor, Algebra, Geometry,Trig

Have tutored for five years with Wyzant, Tutoring Center of Herndon and on my own. My main concern is too make sure student is confortable in his/her understanding the subject material. The money part of the education of young people is really not a priority per se unless the individual student gets an understanding and hopefully confidence in taking on the subject at hand I tutor mainly in Math (Algebra, Geometry and Trig, but also Accounting,social studies, Finance, English , Reading Comp, Vocabulary
Laid back but serious as student learning subject matter is the most important factor in yuoring.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach by asking questions that force students to learn the material rather than memorizing steps to solve problems. I also use examples, sometimes not in the subject being taught, to explain a concept. A student can expect me to be a resourceful tutor who will motivate him or her to succeed.
I am a former student at University of Central Florida where I was a tutor for the Department of Finance and Real Estate. I also tutored my colleagues in subjects such as accounting and algebra. I enjoy making seemingly, complex curriculum simple and enjoyable to learn by sharing my knowledge and passion for the subject. My areas of expertise are economics, finance, managerial accounting and algebra. To accompany my three degrees in business I have 2+ years of experience in finance/analytics.

I have been teaching/tutoring for over nine years for public schools and citywide programs. I provided appropriate educational instructions though a combination of direct and indirect services to meet specific needs of students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment.
Education is like a meal ticket. Children need to eat, breed and have a thirst for knowledge. As teacher, students need to be taught knowledge as information is received for food nouirshment for their bodes. Having a thirst for education lead to opportunities for their children to be able to provide for oneself and able to put food on the table for others.
