Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Townsville, NC

I spent a year in a doctoral program in economics. I finished as an undergraduate with a major in economics, and minors in history, philosophy and religion. Next I worked for a year as a political risk analyst for a large multinational company helping them evaluate risks inherent to investing in unfamiliar environments. I found I enjoyed the work, but wanted to get more economics training with the hope of teaching economics. I moved from the for-profit company to their non-profit foundation that sponsored economic research, and spent the next 4 years evaluating grants in the area of economics, public policy, law and political science. I always found that one of my favorite parts of my job was teaching those I supervised about economics and government. Accordingly, during that time, I began a doctoral program in economics on a fellowship. After spending a year in the program, I determined

I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the current subject at hand but also to provide long term study habits they can take into their future learning experiences. I use various methods of oral, written and guided reading, memorization and visual learning to reach as many of the brain's centers of learning as possible to truly help the child retain the information long term. I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years. I have a BA degree in Economics/International Studies/French from the University of TN – Chattanooga, a certificate in French from the Sorbonne in Paris and 23 hours in English from Ariz

Successfully earning both my Bachelor's and my Master's, Magna cum Laude, from reputable universities only dimly begins to communicate my passion for learning and for teaching. Further, my experience has developed competencies in oral and written communication, social sciences and humanities, religion and culture, and foreign languages, most notably Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Finally, the opportunities to teach and tutor for four years included two years of teaching classical languages and two years of tutoring middle and high school students in language arts, social studies, and foreign languages. Teaching is more than passing on information. It is a dynamic process of inspiring a love for learning and equipping students with the tools to learn successfully. It is important to provide students with structure, engaging activities and lessons, and opportunities to integrate and synthes

When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a

As a staff accountant for a large, global corporation (sales revenue approx. $250 million/yr) I have very much experience in all areas of finance and accounting. I specialize in journal entry writing and reconciliations. I reconcile both bank account statements and account balances with my master bank reconciliation having approximately $40 million debits and credits monthly. I love teaching and showing people how easy accounting can be and how much it helps you in real life situations. Most students get overwhelmed easily with double entry accrual accounting. I find it best to relate the material directly to the students personal life purchase and income habits. This way they can have a hands on approach and hopefully find the rules easy and helpful in daily financial situations.

As a graduate student I had the pleasure to both teach and tutor. I was a Teacher's Assistant for the Politics of the Policy Process for two semesters. As a TA, I led 20 students in section meetings, focusing on writing and communication strategies. Additionally, I tutored student athletes at Duke University for one year. I tutored students in numerous subject areas, including statistics, public policy, economics, basic writing, and political science. Finally, I have recently begun volunteer tutoring for 6th-8th graders in Durham. My experiences as a tutor and instructor have given me some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that tutoring provides a unique opportunity for an instructor to help a student with not only the subject matter, but also with study strategies, priority setting, and building self confidence. I have tutored a wide range of students, from s

Since I am an engineering student, I have always been interested and excelled in math and science, so I have tutored many kids in all areas of science and mathematics. I have also tutored in Spanish and French. Last year, I worked with a young man who had dyslexia. I have helped kids of all ages, whether at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level. I am a very patient person, a trait which I believe is very beneficial for a tutor to possess. I am always patient when teaching, and in doing so have succeeded in getting my point across. I like to pass on small tricks and acronyms that I have came up with for many things, some of which I have still retained to this day for my own personal use, not just for school work.

I have an MBA with 14 years experience in various industries utilizing my financial experience and educational background. I have two children and have been very involved with their learning. I have taught computer classes at a local private elementary school and have substituted when teachers were absent. I enjoy seeing children discover their own potential. I encourage students to become inquisitive about their learning and become confident in themselves. I provide the support while they explore new concepts and use them in their everyday life. I make learning fun by applying learning to the daily lives. They can use the concepts immediately and gain confidence in themselves.

I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm and passion for learning with others. I understand that everyone has a different style of learning, and sometimes it is just hearing something or seeing something in a new way that provides a break through so that the material "clicks" with the student. I am friendly, considerate, and outgoing. I want to make a difference in the lives of others, and show them that learning is a continual process that we are all a part of. I believe that each student has potential, and that it is my responsibility to help them realize this potential. I find it rewarding on a personal and professional level when I am able to bring out the best in another person. As a recent MBA graduate, I have a strong educational background. I have been consistently driven to achieve at a high level. In addition to my MBA, I completed an Advanced Certificate in Financial Management. As an un

I love teaching and training children, as well as individuals. I enjoy making sure an individual TRULY understands what they are being taught. I also hope to be a role model as well as a tutor. I know that the adolescent and teenage years can be difficult, so I would also be open to giving advice on subjects besides academics. For Math, I believe that practicing and doing problems is the only way to understand the methods and processes involved in the subject. This approach helped me in my several years studying Math. For Statistics, I believe relating problems to real-life scenarios can increase a person's understanding of a specific theory. During my college career I was drawn to the Mathematics, Economics, and Statistics fields. My degree in Mathematical Ecnomics is the perfect combination of these three subjects. My 10 years of customer service experience has also enabled to

I have both formal and informal tutoring experience. As a high-achieving student throughout high-school and college, I was often approached by other students and parents for academic advice and tutoring requests. Through these informal sessions in combination with the formal tutoring program sponsored by the university, I gained experience tutoring students in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Accounting, Physics, and Composition. I believe individual learning styles dictate information processing; for this reason, I find it necessary to first identify whether a child is a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner. Armed with this knowledge and properly adjusted material presentation, a child is capable of learning anything. I fully respect each child's individuality and approach every teaching session with the expectation that through patience and cooperation, we will conquer the material - and
