Being exposed and working at different school districts and states allowed me to learn different styles, therefore, I was able to evaluate what works and adapt the techniques to my own style. Education allowed me to learn techniques and I do claim that I was successful leading a classroom and learning was achieved by my studens. I do believe that education is always open for improvement.

At the start of my college career, I began tutoring for Calculus. I received an offer from a Professor at Lafayette who had heard about me. She and her husband had two children who were accellerated two years above their classmates. I tutored both children once or twice a week in both of their respective mathematics courses as well. I love working with people, especially children. I have been a Crew Trainer at each job I've had because of my ability to relate, connect and teach others. I am very patient and easy-going. One thing I like to identify is my learner's personality so that way I may cater my teaching style to that of his/her needs. Connecting with the individual and making them feel as thought they can do, and keeping this attitude, is key to helping the student grow. Having a positive academic effect on the students' lives is what I strive to achieve.

I was a teaching assistant in the accounting department at Penn State while in graduate school so I have experience teaching the fundamentals of accounting to business students. In accounting and finance it is important to develop a strong grasp of the fundamental principles and concepts and learn to build upon them as you progress along your academic career. The more advanced coursework for the most part builds upon these basic concepts I prefer to break down advanced and complex problems and concepts into smaller more manageable tasks so as to simplify things. In my experience the best instructors that I had for finance and accounting courses were highly skilled at using this approach to teaching. I'm a financial professional with over 20 years experience in financial analysis and management accounting in the manufacturing sector in large and small companies. In addition to bei

While I enjoy business, working with children is my passion, hence why I am pursuing my teaching certification. I believe the best way to teach students any skill is to let them have hands on experience with it. As an example, in order to learn business skills, students need to practice the skills and understand their relevance in the real world. I have a strong business background, with an MBA, CPA, and CIA. However, as a student at Susquehanna University, I also volunteered at least 2 days a week at a local preschool where I helped teach the students. In addition, I worked at a local elementary after-school program 2 days a week. I am currently pursuing my teaching certification through Drexel University.

As a National Dean's List graduate from Alvernia University, I am driven towards high standards. I am semi-retired. Earning a Certified Public Accountant designation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enabled me to gain a broad understanding in areas of accounting, auditing, taxation, and law. I have tutored grade and high school students over the last few years in areas of math and science. I believe in creating an atmosphere of mutual respect. I use a technique to assess what the student already knows by observing them and asking questions. Understanding their starting point will me help them to take their learning to the next step. By being familiar with their skills sets and their learning needs, I am adding to the student’s skills and knowledge, while respecting their personal learning process. I believe that explaining underlying accounting fundamentals reinforces le

My teaching style depends completely upon the level of the student. I will tailor each session to the student's needs. I am a believer in mastering the basics before moving on to the advanced. I also divide (and encourage the student to divide) materials into more manageable steps, making schoolwork much less overwhelming. My goal is for every student I tutor to become more confident and see noticeable improvement. I am very patient and can motivate each student to want to succeed. Having completed many years of education myself, it would be my honor to share my passion for education with others.

I have been an accountant and business owner for over 25 years. I have all experiences in all aspects of accounting; which include principles, taxes, auditing and reporting. I also have the everyday work experience, which involves the applying of my accounting background to the running of a business. Teaching is an everyday occurence. As well as learning. I take a contemporary approach today. I assess an individual situation and apply my knowledge and experiences to fit those needs. I am calm and patient, yet subtly stern to the learning process. I love seeing the reward of another learning at the level of what I learned. I also take these experiences and apply to other aspects in everyday life.

As a tutor at Eastern University I came to the realization that not all students learned in the same way. I have a different teaching style as compared to the teachers putting things into real life examples, or even making things hands on so my students understand better. The students knew that I wanted them to succeed and would stop whatever I was doing to help them do homework, study, etc. I can relate to the students while still respecting them and encouraging them to shine to their highest potential I recently graduated from Eastern University as a double major in accounting and finance.My courses in investments, finance, accounting and business have given me a solid base upon which I plan to build my career. I have a strong knowledge of QuickBooks, Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc. During my college career I was a tutor for the entire business department tutoring all accounting and finan
