Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sycamore, AL

During high school, my teacher requested that I help others in my class and I realized how much I loved helping others understand how accounting works. Also in helping my children with their school work, I have learned that each child is different and learns in different ways. I would describe my style of teaching as finding out how a particular student learns best and work form that foundation. Some learn better by seeing an example and then working it out on their own with someone to consult if they get stuck. Other learn better with what they hear and others what they read. It is better to see how each person learns best and teach from that angle. Also, patience is the greatest teaching aid available to any teacher or student. I earned both of my degrees while working and caring for very young children. I feel this was possible because of my time management skills and determinat

I love teaching and working with all children. I am available to help your child find academic success. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I have taught for three years at a private school and then was laid off due to decreased enrollment. I have taught different grade levels in history. I have also learned extensive skills in dealing with other adults either as co-workers or parents.

As a graduate in retail management, I was driven to work in an area where communcations skills are a must. I graduated with a 3.0. I took speech skills, and was required to write several papers, often lengthy. In high school testing, I ranked in 90-96th percentile for English and Spelling. In college, I took a notoriously hard organic chemistry class. Once I sought out a tutor, I aced the class. Having been an administrative assistant and office manager, using correct grammar is a must. As a mother of two young children, I want to see all children exceed. Children learn through positive reinforcement and by slowly building confidence, as his or her work improves. Childen should not be made to feel inferior, but need approriate teachings to fit his or her personalities. All it takes is a little confidence to start off with, keep encouraging and praising, and this can be achieved when the

I break down subjects to the most basic level and build from there. This is the way all of my football coaches did things each year, they taught football stance at the beginning of August no matter the player's experience. Some students find this condescending but it usually progresses fast enough to reach their skill level without offending. I have always found that starting at the bottom prevents misunderstanding as you build toward the top. I enjoy teaching because it helps to sharpen my skills and also enjoy watching other students perform well. There is no greater reward than watching the light come on in a pupil's mind. I worked in accounting for one year as accounts receivable manager for one of the fastest growing companies in Mississippi. I also performed all accounting tasks for my own business for 3 years. I then went back to school in 2008 and finished my accounting degree a

I have tutored students in math and science (mainly math) for over 13 years. I have helped students in various levels of mathematics - basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. After working with me on a consistent basis (2/3 days/week) many of the students have received honors in their math courses, including "Most Improved" and "Highest Average". I am also proud to say that a couple of students have actually decided to pursue careers that require a good understanding of math - i.e. engineering, architecture. I enjoy working with students of all ages, although most of my experience has been with middle school age and older. I use a couple of different techniques to help students understand math, including using visual aides, problem solving techniques, role reversal (where they explain a lesson to me), blackboard/whiteboard work, and games. I believe it's reall

Education has always been a very important part of my life. After earning my BS in Accounting I have continued my education in pursuit of my CPA. During my college career, I tutored student athletes in accounting, finance, and mathematics. I truly enjoy teaching and working with children. Every individual learns differently and I feel the key to teaching children is determining that learning style. Through the correct teaching style, encouragement, and patience, each child can excel in any given area. It is very rewarding to watch them succeed.

I do not have a particular teaching style because I don't believe that a single method works for everyone. Therefore, I operate from an Occam's Razor perspective -- whatever is the simplest solution is the best. I believe I am very empathetic and perceptive, which would enable me to determine what works best for each student. Admittedly, I have no direct (structured) teaching experience. However, I have nearly five years of experience in the journalism field, and during that time I've mentored a number of fledgling college and high school journalists. And while journalism and political science are my two specialties -- given that I have degrees in both -- I also have a fair amount of expertise in the tangential fields of English and History.

After High School, I taught Sunday School at the small church I attended. I was co-teacher with an older gentleman, and the students were 12-15 years old. When my wife and I lived in Seymour (2002-2004), we often helped our nephews with their math homework or class Science projects. I loved explaining the basics, the steps required as we conducted the experiments and documented results in a logical, orderly progression of events. Our oldest nephew struggled with Algebra and geometric reasoning. When in Seymour, I could teach him one-on-one, and especially enjoyed using sketches to drive home geometrical concepts. 1) I like to help the student define our goal: "What is it we are trying to achieve?" 2) "How do we get there?" Here I am open to suggestions from the student as to how we achieve that goal. This gives me clues to his/her learning style. 3) I try to help the student break

Even though I've never worked in a classroom setting full time, I have mentored and tutored elementary to high school children at the Boy and Girls Club in all areas. In a current part time position, I am responsible for the training and development of all new point of sale associates at a local department store. I am a hands on learner so I believe in addition to teaching from the book, I believe in hands on training.

My teaching style is based on my belief that my purpose is that the student learn the material. If that means backtracking and presenting the material in a different manner or using more examples then that is what I will do. Especially in math and accounting, the building blocks must be solid in order to advance so I do concentrate on each step being strong. My parents were both educators and my daughter is a professor, so I can say in all honesty that education has been a most important aspect of my life. I have been very successful as a college instructor and a tax school teacher. I do not have any tutoring experience but with my love of education and my own work ethic I know I can be instrumental in a students academic success.

As a Director of Marketing in the banking industry, I researched and wrote a training manual on quality customer service, selling and cross selling. I introduced copies for staff personnel and held training sessions on these topics including staff participation, tests and followup assessments. I have more than 20 years work experience that gives me actual experiences that I can draw upon to train others in basis skills such as reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic as well as business, finance, customer service and general office skills. I provide the best training possible for the individual student geared to their style of learning. I listen to their feedback and tailor my style to them. I am low key, patient, reliable, and very capable of researching the specific subject to provide extra real world knowledge. Chrildren are our future and I take pride in being a small part of impro
