Economics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jemison, AL

During high school, my teacher requested that I help others in my class and I realized how much I loved helping others understand how accounting works. Also in helping my children with their school work, I have learned that each child is different and learns in different ways. I would describe my style of teaching as finding out how a particular student learns best and work form that foundation. Some learn better by seeing an example and then working it out on their own with someone to consult if they get stuck. Other learn better with what they hear and others what they read. It is better to see how each person learns best and teach from that angle. Also, patience is the greatest teaching aid available to any teacher or student. I earned both of my degrees while working and caring for very young children. I feel this was possible because of my time management skills and determinat

1) I like to help the student define our goal: "What is it we are trying to achieve?" 2) "How do we get there?" Here I am open to suggestions from the student as to how we achieve that goal. This gives me clues to his/her learning style. 3) I try to help the student break down each problem or project into small, managable steps. If practicable, I prefer the use of physical objects or sketches to visually drive home geometric concepts, or use them as examples of "engineering problems" met and conquered by someone before them. I am very patient and think each child is gifted in unique ways by our Creator. And seeing a child learn, to see things "click" is one of the greatest experiences in life. That is my goal and passion. After High School, I taught Sunday School at the small church I attended. I was co-teacher with an older gentleman, and the students were 12-15 years old. When

I worked in accounting for one year as accounts receivable manager for one of the fastest growing companies in Mississippi. I also performed all accounting tasks for my own business for 3 years. I then went back to school in 2008 and finished my accounting degree at Delta State University in Cleveland Mississippi. I have tutored students in accounting and computer courses for the last year and even though I have moved to Birmingham I am still contacted by students in Mississippi through word of mouth. I break down subjects to the most basic level and build from there. This is the way all of my football coaches did things each year, they taught football stance at the beginning of August no matter the player's experience. Some students find this condescending but it usually progresses fast enough to reach their skill level without offending. I have always found that starting at the bottom

Education has always been a very important part of my life. After earning my BS in Accounting I have continued my education in pursuit of my CPA. During my college career, I tutored student athletes in accounting, finance, and mathematics. I truly enjoy teaching and working with children. Every individual learns differently and I feel the key to teaching children is determining that learning style. Through the correct teaching style, encouragement, and patience, each child can excel in any given area. It is very rewarding to watch them succeed.

As a graduate in retail management, I was driven to work in an area where communcations skills are a must. I graduated with a 3.0. I took speech skills, and was required to write several papers, often lengthy. In high school testing, I ranked in 90-96th percentile for English and Spelling. In college, I took a notoriously hard organic chemistry class. Once I sought out a tutor, I aced the class. Having been an administrative assistant and office manager, using correct grammar is a must. As a mother of two young children, I want to see all children exceed. Children learn through positive reinforcement and by slowly building confidence, as his or her work improves. Childen should not be made to feel inferior, but need approriate teachings to fit his or her personalities. All it takes is a little confidence to start off with, keep encouraging and praising, and this can be achieved when the

Even though I've never worked in a classroom setting full time, I have mentored and tutored elementary to high school children at the Boy and Girls Club in all areas. In a current part time position, I am responsible for the training and development of all new point of sale associates at a local department store. I am a hands on learner so I believe in addition to teaching from the book, I believe in hands on training. In addition to working on my MBA from Troy University, I currently work at a full service brokerage firm providing investment services to individuals, corporations, municipalities, and other public and private institutions. I have extensive knowledge in the areas of accounting, business management, and finance. Since 2003, my work experience varies from working in banks, credit unions, and brokerage firms.

I do not have a particular teaching style because I don't believe that a single method works for everyone. Therefore, I operate from an Occam's Razor perspective -- whatever is the simplest solution is the best. I believe I am very empathetic and perceptive, which would enable me to determine what works best for each student. Admittedly, I have no direct (structured) teaching experience. However, I have nearly five years of experience in the journalism field, and during that time I've mentored a number of fledgling college and high school journalists. And while journalism and political science are my two specialties -- given that I have degrees in both -- I also have a fair amount of expertise in the tangential fields of English and History.

I enjoy teaching and have been successful in encouraging students to learn. One student I had was failing chemistry and with my help she obtained an A. By being patient and providing clear and detailed explanations and examples, I can effectively help a student meet their potential. As a graduate student, I tutored minority engineering students in chemistry, physics, and math at California State University in Northridge, CA. I also privately tutored students at the same time. As a senior auditor and a senior project manager, I mentored and trained staff in accounting, IT, and project management methods and standards.

I have recently earned a Bachelor's Degree in Legal Studies and graduated Summa Cum Laude, which is the highest of academic honors. In order to obtain my degree, I was required to take several courses in a very broad area of study including writing, literature, reading, mathematics, history, and sciences. I have an extensive background in English courses, including knowledge of several research and writing styles. My tutoring experience mainly includes English and writing work, but I also have experience with tutoring some math classes and history. In general, I simply love working with children. I find great happiness in knowing that I personally helped a child succeed academically. As the oldest of four children, I have always been a leader amongst my siblings and always found myself helping them academically as they grew older. In tutoring, I consider myself to be very patient and und

I have tutored students in math and science (mainly math) for over 13 years. I have helped students in various levels of mathematics - basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. After working with me on a consistent basis (2/3 days/week) many of the students have received honors in their math courses, including "Most Improved" and "Highest Average". I am also proud to say that a couple of students have actually decided to pursue careers that require a good understanding of math - i.e. engineering, architecture. I enjoy working with students of all ages, although most of my experience has been with middle school age and older. I use a couple of different techniques to help students understand math, including using visual aides, problem solving techniques, role reversal (where they explain a lesson to me), blackboard/whiteboard work, and games.

I enjoy working with all students. I believe the greatest experience is learning from the students. All children are unique and have different views of recieving what is being taught. I believe that it is my duty to seek ways to help that child reach his/her highest potenials. I demand high expectations and values from each student. I have a driven determination in providing my best to each student. I may not reach all as desired but, it is my goal to provide my best. I have two years experience as a special education teacher in an inclusive setting and as a resource teacher. I am very compassionate about helping students to achieve and to believe that " if anybody else can do it, I can do it to." I have tutored in my church tutorial program and for the Metropolitian Certified Teachers Program; where we provided services for struggling students to improve their scores on the SAT
