Experience Summary
I have had a variety of experiences that have prepared me to tutor students at the elementary, middle school and high school level. I have taught Sunday School for several years. I also was on a team that created a training system at Eastman Kodak and then trained production workers. I have a Bachelor's degree in business administration and a B.S. in Accounting. I have also had several experiences in writing besides the written assignments in college. I have written songs as part of my hobby as a guitar player and I have posted several poems on poetry.com. Finally, I have tutored my two children through their successful high school careers.
Teaching Style
Since learning is such an individual endeavor, I believe that flexibility is one of the most important ingredients for good teaching. A good teacher (or tutor) is responsive to the student's learning style, and indeed, to the student's mood during any given learning session. I feel that I am attuned to the cues that most students give and am able to respond with an a approach that would be most effective. If the student is a visual learner, we will work with that in mind. If he or she learns better by being actively involved, then I take on the role of a coach. Obviously, one size does not fit all!
