I prefer student-centered teaching that encourages learning by both students and teacher. I am an advocate of acknowledging that the students’ varied viewpoints and different ways of solving problems are acceptable.

My teaching style conforms to the learning style of the individual. Since no two people learn the same it is impossible to tutor the same way. I feel that once I have found a way to spark their interest and how they learn, it is much easier to help them acheive their goals and grasp the material. Many times the main goal is to teach the student how to learn, as many do not understand that function. Once they understand how they learn it becomes fun and easy. As a late bloomer to my education, I understand the importance of completeing an education at the earliest time. I currently hold a BS degree in business with an emphasis on international markets. This degree has helped me to better understand and appreciate economics, business math and accounting. In pusuit of this I have written papers from a 2 page summary to an 80 page thesis.

I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner.

Having taught, elementary, middle, high school, and adults; I have discovered that learning can and will take place. The type of learning that needs to take place depends on the type of teaching that is facilitated. Without teaching; guided, organized, purposeful matriculation in an environment–laden with material and visual information intended to enhance and frame an individual’s knowledge and skill set; the type of learning we desire, will not occur. What and how we determine to be the most effective methods in addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of our students, will be reflected in our teaching. For the last 23 years, I have educated elementary, middle, high school and adult students in all subject areas. I also served as a Language Arts Tracher/Trainer in the U.S. Peace Corps.
