Experience Summary
In college, I was an excellent student and tutored accounting and general business. I tutored students not only on the course material, but also on ways to improve study habits and increase material retention. I have spent the past five years working as a finance and accounting professional and am currently a CPA candidate and look forward to applying this real-world knowledge to my textbook understanding of business and accounting related topics. I have tutored students in mathematics (through Algebra 1) and accounting.
Teaching Style
I will generally sit down with the student to get an understanding of the student's current understanding, the curriculum of the class and the areas that are particularly challenging for the student. As part of this process, I will assess why the student is seeking help (is the teacher moving too quickly, is the teacher not explaining it the way the student thinks, is the student not engaged in homework and falling behind, etc). Once we have an understanding of the needs and learning style of the student, I will adapt my teaching style. I generally like to use note-based instruction to get the basics clearly outlined and reference-able, and then teach through application to problems.
