A Little Bit About Me...

I usually employ a Socratic style of interaction, seldom answering students’ questions, but rather guiding them to the answer, or at least an answer, through strategic questions designed to clarify their thinking processes and work toward a solution to the problem at hand. Frequently, I might not know the specific answer to a question, and in such instances, the student and I will engage in an academic scavenger hunt to find it. This practice contains much value, as the student will learn the techniques and strategies by which to effectively ferret out material that may otherwise go unnoticed. I am less a teacher than I am a facilitator of learning, and I strive to create an environment in which learning is both successful and enjoyable.

More About This Tutor...

As a corporate controller, I have trained and mentored many non-experienced individuals to become accountants in the payables, receivables, cost, and fixed asset functions. Many of these indivuals I have further trained and mentored to become analysts of financial data.
I am very good at training and mentoring people, my approach is to get the individual to think through the processes for themselves. I believe all individuals have the capability to learn accounting methods through visual and oral aids.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being the eldest of 8 children, I grew up helping my siblings with schoolwork. This in turn gave me focus, patience, & a drive to do my own work well. Through my years of teaching, I've learned how many students start frustrated with writing & as adults, they assume that they'll never understand how to do it well. I enjoy helping students break it down, learn the process, & go from there. It only compounds as they gain more & more education. Knowing how to write well is one of the key ingredients to success! Any educator would agree, as well as any business person. I strive to help my students improve their writing skills, which in turn improves their self-esteem.
As a full-time professional in business & higher education for the past 9 years, I know the importance of being well-prepared for school and the significant impact that can have on one's career choices after gradua ... read more
