More About This Tutor...

I have worked with children of all ages and I enjoy making a difference in their lives. Helping them understand that they can create their own futures by setting goals and working hard towards them. I care about the well-being of my students and I believe that every student can do what they put their minds to. My philosophy is that every student can do better than they are currently doing. If a student has an "A", I want them to have an "A+". I am a motivator and I believe that I can build relationships that will bring about positive change in our students' lives.
As a graduate of Liberty University, I understand the importance of having a strong foundation educationally. With a background in business and analyzing numbers, I understand many math concepts that will benefit your company's goal.

I really enjoy being around kids and helping them learn new things. When you teach a kid something and they finally get it, the sight of their face lighting up is priceless. I believe that one should teach using a variety of methods because all kids do not learn the same way and each individual method shows something new each time. I believe that all kids can learn so much if they work as hard as they can and put forth maximum effort. I think it is very easy to learn/teach using as many hands on examples as possible.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been blessed with professors at the university level who understand the importance of one-on-one instruction. Through the "creativity" of thoughtful instructors I have seen myself grow and develop in ways that I hadn't thought possible. Every student learns differently, and once the instructor gets to know the student well enough and is able to tailor their lessons to the needs of the student, true learning happens. Teaching isn't just about preparing a student for a test; teaching is about creating and inspiring the desire to learn within the student so that they will be learn, not just because they are forced to, but because they are thirsty for knowledge.
I have spent several years as a student and tutor at the university level. I am planning to enter medical school in the Fall of 2012 and as such have developed a strong foundation in the sciences throughout my undergradu ... read more

I have earned an MBA with a concentration in finance, which has given me a solid understanding of financial concepts. I also have a certificate in accounting, which provided me with an excellent understanding of accounting principles that ultimately helped me pass the CPA exam and become a licensed CPA. In addition to my formal education, I was a Marine Corps officer for nine years. I was able to develop an understanding of human behavior and apply this understanding to provide training and instruction to ensure those under my supervision where able to fully carry out their assigned duties.
I have a very easy going way of teaching, which helps my students feel at ease and allows them to better focus on the task at hand. I believe the best teaching method is one that can apply academic principles to real life situations. This helps the student understand both the "how" and "why ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Hard work and dedication have paved the way for my upcoming graduation at Ferrum College. I am a double major in Accounting and Finance, which gives me some experience in tutoring both. Along with the many projects I have done in both subjects, I have been able to volunteer as a tax preparer for economically disadvantaged families and for the past two years I have had the honor of tutoring Accounting.
My tutoring experience has mainly been with college students which I have become very fond of doing. I look to this an advantage because I believe it makes me better able to work with high school students since the high school students will learn at a slower pace than most college students. I am a patient person and I know that by pacing yourself a person can learn much better. I love for people to ask questions when I tutor because this lets me know they want to learn and I can ... read more
