33 years of accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, journal entries, profit and loss statement, balance sheet, cash flow, budgets, fixed assets, depreciation schedules, sales tax, excise tax, and consulting. Worked with industries in wholesale, retailer, and services. I handle companies with cash and accrual base accounting with C & S Corporations, LLC, Partnerships, and sole proprietors. I enjoy problem solving. It means that I must first understand the challenge by asking question to resolve the situation. I use visual and auditory means to show the proper way to record the transactions then have the student repeat back what I said and enter the data to further enforce the method. After all is said and done, I show them the results from the transactions cause and effect on their books in the profit and loss, balance sheet, general ledger.

Experience in the study of British and American Literature, also have made a study of History in America and Britain as well during undergraduate coursework. During my Master's I studied British Literature and was a teaching assistant. During that time I spent two years teaching composition and argumentation at Bowling Green State University to cover college level essay writing which required both classroom and individual tutoring outside of class. Subjects for that course included a wide array of topics with a focus more on structure and the strength of the student's argument than the content or theme of the paper. I can handle any topic of essay writing as a result and will be able to bring out the core structural and grammatical needs for the paper.

I am a direct/explicit instructional teacher or instructor. Explicit instruction is broken up into stages that follow a sequence. The sequence of teaching/learning is as follows: first setting a purpose for learning, then telling students what to do, then showing them how to do it, and finally guiding them with hands-on application of the new item that was learned. Reading Comprehension & Fluency Strategies: Fluency- 1. Focus on phonemic and alphabetic awareness 2. Teaching the meaning of learning simple to complex words 3.

I've been an artist since just about day one, from my doodles as a child, to my time at one of the best art schools in the country, to the professional commissions I take to supplement my income. Having received a formal education, I am necessarily versed in the theory of art and design, and all its styles, from representational realism to abstract dreamscapes. Today, my focus is on character work, drawing characters realistically (with proper proportions, anatomy, lighting, etc) rendered almost cartoonishly, with thick lines and bright colors. Most of my work today is done digitally, with my education being primarily in traditional media, leaving me with broad knowledge of different techniques. Like those who taught me, my teaching style isn't harsh or cushy, just realistic. I will happily tell you where you've improved, but I will also point out where there can still be improvement. In

The education of children is of paramount interest to me, and during my work as a tutor at the Audubon School in South Central, Los Angeles, I realized the importance of making education personal. Many students do not have access to the one on one aspect of instruction that can prove paramount to the development of individuated talents. For this reason, I consider the position of tutor to be of utmost importance. My love for art, and my compassion for learning, comes across in the way I work and the way I teach others. As a case example, while I was working at the Audubon School I discovered one of its students, currently in the seventh grade, had dyslexia, a condition that was seriously hampering his development within the domains of reading and comprehension. This moment was eye opening for me. I realized then the overarching value of personal interaction between student and teac
