I have worked with youth in several settings from bedside tutor to lead English and Special Education teacher positions for the past 5 years.

I had teacher observation experiences at George Washinton Community School, Crispis Attucks Middle School and Lawrence Central High School. My student teaching experience was 16 weeks of full time lead teaching which gave me all the responsibilities and authority of the teacher.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Accounting with a minor in Economics and plan to continue my education into a Masters of Science in Accountancy program. During my tenure as a student, I had the opportunity to work four years in the college's Academic Resource Center as a writing consultant where I assisted students to improve their writing ability and to understand that writing should be look at the process rather than attempt to "correct" each paper. In addition being a writing consultant, I also acted as a student assistant for the center as well. Because my area of expertise is accounting and economics, I assisted students with courses in those areas at each level (basic, intermediate, and advanced). Accounting and Finance often blend the theoretical and concrete. I strive to teach theories and concepts through fun activities and games in order to make learning fun and as stress fr

I am a strong believer in teaching through examples and letting students try to apply the knowledge I have taught them at various smaller stages, then apply it to the bigger picture. I love working with kids, and I think that with patience, understanding, and time, all students are capable of reaching their potential. As an undergraduate, I attended Purdue University and worked as a teaching assistant where I ran my own lab, instructing students for one of their core management courses. In my junior year, I was asked to apply to an invitation-only program for an an accelerated MBA program only for exceptional students. I am now entering my final year of this program and will graduate in 2011 with a BS in Business Management and a Masters degree in Business Administration. The graduate program is team focused and emphasizes working with and teaching diverse groups of people.

While I enjoy working with a younger population, I have had more experience with middle school, high school, and college students. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also expect that my students perform the tasks asked of them in the time given, as to further reach our goals. I have a descriptive way of teaching, but I am also a firm believer in using abstract methods in order to obtain and understanding. Visual aids can also be very helpful, such as using pictures, every-day items, or a chemistry model set. As a graduate of a 'Public Ivy' institution, I have had a very well-rounded and intensive education. I earned two degrees from IU: a BA in Spanish and a BS in Biology and Chemistry. My experience involves subjects such as: Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry (General and Organic), Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Physics.

My teaching style is to cover required material in an understandable-informal manner. I expect students to ask questions until they are comfortable with the material. I also expect students to be attentive and well behaved in the classroom setting, leaving time for informal discussion when students and the teacher may come to know one another. Day-to-day application of school textbook information means more to students than just memorization for tests. Results are important when ascertained with integrity, knowledge and problem solving. As a Director of Finance, I worked with people with disabilities for more than twenty years. I was required administrative staff to interact with the people with disabilities. My interactive duties were to relieve direct program staff for lunch. I came to know the population as people with personalities and souls. I learned more from them than the

Teaching is the solemn devotion to a writer's voice. I believe in inspiring young students to write from their hearts, with a keen interest in being grammatically correct. My goal is to empower students to achieve in the classroom, in test-taking, in their every day lives. Patience and understanding is the key to tutoring; I have that patience and I understand what it is to be a tutored student. I will create a comfortable environment for all students to achieve their dreams. By working in a wide variety of fields, from film production to politics, I have a breadth of knowledge from working with many different types of students. I was once a student being tutored for the GRE, so I have been on each side of the desk. For two years I taught workshops on public speaking and speech writing. Before that I earned my Bachelor's degree in Writing, and had to do so through intimate writing worksh

A good education is most important for a child to succeed in today's world. Children have different personalities, interests, and learning styles. They come from different backgrounds, cultures, and family value systems. All these differences need to be considered in planning the student's education. Schools today offer more than just the traditional learning style. Today's schools offer career centers, high school universities, special education, night schools, and specialized alternative education programs. Each student should be able to succeed given the course of direction to achieve his educational goals. We are there to help students succeed by offering them guidance, support and encouragement to reach their dream. I have earned a bachelor degree and a master's degree in Business Education.

I prefer to interact with students rather than simply lecture. I try to reduce problems or topics into basic components and address each in turn in an effort to demonstrate critical steps in a process which would complete the task or solve the problem successfully. My experience allows me to create realistic methodologies which allow the students to march toward a completion without being intimidated by the complexity of a problem or challenge. Taught college courses on a part-time basis from 1976 to 2006. These various courses included accounting, business math, real estate, budgeting, strategic planning, starting a business, public speaking, investments, government accounting, principles of supervision, human resource development, auditing, and taxation. While teaching I eventually retired from the US Air Force, and from US Civil Service. As a retiree I find that I plenty of time to d

I sincerely enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe that all children have the ability and want to learn, but each are unique and it takes getting to know the child and what strategies will engage them and work best. I love to see people succeed and am willing to go to any measure to help children achieve success education-wise and in life. It is important for children to have positive role models and be comfortable with the person teaching them in order to make progress. I can relate very well to children and will be able to get them to learn in the best way for them as an individual. I look forward to helping, advancing, and making a difference in all of my students' lives. As a Ball State University MBA student, I am very driven to achieve a high level of success in all areas of life, especially education. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and i
