A Little Bit About Me...

My style is to try and present the matertial in a framwork that students can relate to. So if I'm trying to get a financial concepts across to someone I try to think about what this will mean to the student and how they will use it in there work--answer the question of how it relates to the outputs of that individual's job or life. I think I do this because it's how I learn best.
I taught high school religious education for approximately six years. This required relating to students, some of whom were reluctant to be there. This required preperation as well as flexibilty to adjust to what worked and what didn't work. I taught financial analysis for decision making while at Weyerhaeuser Comapany. Students were all levels of the comapany from senior maagement to entry level people. I was part of the team that developed this course work. As a part of rolling out standard c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been helping interns and non accounting people with accounting issues and classes and find that I greatly enjoy it. I have also been explaining how to accounting issues to people whose first language is not English. I have successfully helped students return to college to finish thier accounting. I think I would be good at helping high school or college level kids.
I have been a Certified Public Accountant working in public accounting since 1987. I know accounting extremely well and have found I can explain incomprehensible subjects to business people, inexperienced accountants in ways that greatly incease thier understanding. I have also taught Native American Culture classes.

A Little Bit About Me...

Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/solution/answers. If session doesn't find a promising beginning, start from a base and progress with them. Interaction prevents or indicates "going too fast" or overwhelming them--"the eyes" are engaged or indicate "shut-down". Making the math or education "mean something" provides a reason for learning or further developing the concepts. Encouragement and sincere compliments are very important. Sharing your own struggles or an "ah-huh" moment helps ease the role differences toward a comfortable, encouraging, learning relationship.
I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall departm ... read more

Read More About Emile G...

I grew up in Cameroon, a former colony of France and Great Britain. French is the official language so, learning the language was critical to complete my education. I earned a BA in Business Administration and went to France to complete some courses in Accounting. My passion for sharing knowledge led me to teaching after my BA in Business. I thought high school students at Institut Samba, a private school in Cameroon, for 3 years. I always have at least one student I am tutoring; this is either in French or Accounting. To me, it is one of the most fulfilling work and it helps me keep your knowledge fresh.
Over the years, I came to realize that things such as getting yourself in the student's shoe and understanding his/her environmnet is critical in customizing a teaching for that specific person. Some students like studying in a very fun environment while other may find it distract ... read more
