I have worked with children and middle schoolers on subjects such as reading,grammar and basic spanish on an elementary level. I have tutored middle schoolers in Spanish I and English. I've also helped students in the past with social studies and elementary vocabulary skills.

As an MBA graduate with a concentration in Finance, I have had much experience with Finance and Accounting courses. I am used to working in teams and have a talent for simplifying complex information in order to help others. I have tutored a friend in undergraduate accounting and with my help he received an A in the class. I consider myself an expert in MS Excel, Access, and PowerPoint; all of which I believe will be essential in completing a degree in finance or accounting. I am fresh out of my masters program and have taken all the relevant courses that would enable me to help other students in their pursuit of a finance/accounting degree. I really enjoy helping and teaching people. I realize that everyone learns in a different fashion and that each student needs a specifically tailored teaching method. I believe a student really learns the material when he/she understands the reasonin

My job is not to give students answers, but to push them to articulate better and give better answers. I teach not by lecturing but by discussion; together we work through problems and questions. By showing students (gently) where their thinking could be improved without giving them the actual answers, I push students to solve problems on their own. My teaching strategies were recognized with teaching awards at UVA and at UNC-Pembroke. I have earned a PhD in philosophy from the University of Virginia, and taught at the university level at Virginia Tech, UVA, Hampden-Sydney College, West Point, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke for ten years. During that time, I have taught philosophy, logic (including test prep for the GRE and LSAT), and composition. A chemistry minor in college, I am also proficient in basic science and mathematics. I have tutored in composition, alge

My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on topics and concepts with questions that need some thought. I want them to discuss issues with me, and that allows me to help expand their understanding and discover weak points in their knowledge. Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tu

I like to have an open discusion about a topic based upon homework and reading assignments. I use examples to illustrate how accounting items are handled. I encourage questions during the session and will provide questions to see if concepts are undefrstood. I taught two quarters at Tiffin University, East Cleveland, Ohio campus a course called "Legal Issues for Managers." I was requested to teach a course via computer, but declined since I was moving to Charrlotte, NC. (2007-2008) Prior to teaching at Tiffin University, I taught at the Academy of Court Reporting in Cleveland. I taught accounting, real estate law, office management and bankruptcy.(2004-2005)

I have a broad and diverse educational background which includes a BS in Engineering, BS in History, and a JD. In addition to my educational background, I have a substantial amount of professional experience in a variety of industries and in a number of roles. Because of my education and professional experience, I have developed excellent analytical skills, a vast and expansive knowledge base, and superb written and oral communications skills. Through many of these experiences, I have trained a number of individuals with varied skills and abilities on a number of different subject matters. I have also spent time tutoring small children and teenagers on mathematics, history, and political science. I describe myself as someone with a broad knowledge base and a solid understanding of a number of disciplines. Part of the reason for my diverse academic background is an appreciation for le

As a graduate of the University of Virginia, I was very dedicated to learning as much as possible. I double majored in Government and Sociology, yet was able to take numerous courses in other areas as well. After earning my undergraduate degree, I decided to pursue graduate school immediately. I was offered Graduate Teaching Assistantships at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. This experience was wonderful because I not only could learn in my master's level courses, but also introduce undergraduate students into the field that I was passionate about. Teaching and working with young individuals over the course of my education has been particularly memorable. I have taught and tutored a wide array of students from Ivy league bound seniors to 4 year olds with autism. I am very open-minded and love helping others to achieve their goals and strive for excellence.

I believe that children possess the ability to learn anything, it just takes a good tutor to bring it out. I have had several educators make a large impact on my life and seen others impact the life of my learning-disabled brother. Learning has never come easily to him, but patient educators have helped him succeed. I am one of those patient educators. I am a strong writer with a solid grasp of grammar and AP style. I am proficient in Quark X-Press, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Pagemaker, Microsoft Front Page, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Publisher, page layout and design. With my other achievements I add strong organizational and leadership skills and experience in staff recruitment and management.

In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people. My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level.

As a parent, former student, and an educator, I have been teaching children and adolescents for over ten years. I am skilled in the areas of English, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. I also have a basic knowledge of Spanish having been educated in this area as well. I believe listening is a fundamental element of teaching. I provide my students with an enhanced listenting ability in order that I may better serve their needs. I tend to work at a pace that is comfortable for your child without providing pressure or stressors. In utilizing this style of teaching, the experience becomes more enjoyable for your child which, in turn, makes learning not only essential but rewarding.

The sense of achievement that can be seen on a child’s face after mastering the unknown is why I am passionate about teaching. I am flexible, understanding, and compassionate. I believe that surrounding the child in an environment that is conducive to learning is important. In addition, I believe it is important to teach multiple styles. For example, I like to make sure that my student has an opportunity to learn a lesson not only hands-on but also visually. I am a strong believer in the saying that, “Practice Makes Perfect.” I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with minors in African American Studies and Sociology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While studying at UNCC, composing papers on a variety of subjects enhanced my grammar and sentence structure. Being a Lead teacher at Dixon Academy, supplied me with experience in interacting with bo

Having earned a bachelor's degree in Theology and Apologetics with superior academic achievement,I have challenged myself academically, and developed excellent writing and argumentative skills. I have written extensive research papers, and successfully defeated many opponents in classroom debate. I served as a tutor for Homeland Park Elementary for one year during my college career. There have been numerous studies showing that different types of learning exist, and it is my belief that each individual student needs to be taught through adaptive teaching methodologies. I believe that everyone is unique, and each student needs to develop their own style of learning. It is the job of the educator to discover those different styles and implement a teaching method that is most advantageous to the student.

I have taught and mentored youth within religious organizations and non-profits for many years. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and have a significant amount of knowledge to share. With over 20 years work experience, I am quite proficient in identifying, assessing, and applying economic business principles in practical and efficient methods. During my graduate studies, I served in the capacity of Graduate Assistant and had the pleasure of substitute teaching for a couple of classes. More recently, I have tutored individuals in GED exam subjects. I like to develop a personal rapport with students. I am very interested in knowing a little about the total student, their family life, school activities and other extracurricular interests.
