I enjoy teaching young learners in hopes of getting them excited about the subject area of business. I have travelled extensively all over the world including Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, India, and Singapore overseeing the accounting functions in company subsidiaries. I do not consider myself highly academic and find that one of my skills in teaching and training is to adjust to the student and work within their strengths and weaknesses. My top priority is to help students learn and to find ways that work best for them. I have taught face-to-face courses as well as on-line courses. In my teaching I strive for continuous improvement as well as flexibility in my instructional methods. My career spans 20 years and includes accounting, auditing, tax preparation, college level instruction, business ownership, and working in a variety of sizes and types of business organizations.

As a future medical school student, I worked very hard throughout my undergraduate career and was able to obtain a B.S. in both Cellular Neuroscience and Psychology in only 3.5 years. I have participated in Biomedical research both at Allegheny College (neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster) as well as at the University of Pittsburgh (aggregation kinetics of the huntingtin protein). Furthermore, I volunteered at Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Crawford County as a Big Brother. Through the mentoring program as well as the Allegheny College football team, I gained experience tutoring other players as well as helped my "little brothers" with their homework whenever necessary. From working with various types of students, I have learned that not everyone can learn material in the same manner. I myself am able to relearn and understand material very quickly and effectively.

I graduated a year early from high school which then led me to the local community college.At the community college, I found myself being president of a local club known as Earth Awareness.I then graduated with my Associates Degree in Biology with honors.Cornell University was the next stage in my life where I became part of a local honors group known as Alpha Zeta Fraternity.Although attending Cornell University was a great honor; I felt that it was too large of a school for me(300+ in some courses) which then led me to SUNY at Fredonia.I will now be graduating from SUNY Fredonia with my Bachelor of Science in Biology this December 2009.I plan on attending graduate school at Fredonia University and earning my Master of Science in Biology. I have a passion for teaching all ages. I am patient, caring and understanding. My goal is to do whatever I can to get the answers children/adults nee

As a tutor, my job is to take students from where they are to where they need to be. I can do this successfully for several reasons. First, I am patient. Often student frustration stems from classes proceeding too fast, and teachers lacking time to help slower learners. By patiently working with a student, I can teach at a pace that works best for them, overcoming much discouragement that comes from falling behind. Second, I am very flexible in my teaching methods. If a student is struggling, I am committed to trying different approaches until the student has mastered the concept. Finally, and just as importantly, I am friendly, easygoing, and have a sense of humor. Putting students at ease makes learning easier and more fun for everyone. Having recently completed my doctoral degree, I have a good grasp of what it takes to be successful academically. My degree required extensive trainin

I've always been driven to help others understand subjects on a deep level. When I was in high school, I taught my brother basic algebra. (He was ten years old at the time.) As the editor of a high IQ society's official publication, I work with people to help their submissions meet their full potential. My undergraduate degree is in economics, and my graduate degree is an MBA with a concentration in finance. I have a very solid understanding of statistics; enough so to allow me to identify and correct errors on two separate professors' answer keys. I'm also strong in finance, accounting, general business, and general written communication. The single most important thing about being a teacher or mentor is to be respectful, socially aware, and sensitive. Okay, that's three things, but they kind of go together. The second most important thing about being a mentor is to create unde

I have worked with at risk students and special education students. Therefore, I have experience in developing relationships and methods that effectively develop student learning for a variety of learners. Setting realistic goals and celebrating successes promote student engagement and motivation. Tutoring goes beyond teaching students but also developing the trust and commitment needed in their future. I strive to create innovative lessons in which students have fun and also have an interesting perspective on mathematics. It has been by my experience that students learn the best through topics in which they can relate. In addition to creating fun challenging lessons, I accommodate kinesthetic, auditory and visual learners. I use a variety of methods and repetitions that will facilitate learning and comprehension at all levels.

I have taken statistics and gotten an A in the course and still have all course materials to give a general overview of statistics and how to use SPSS. I am knowledgeable on the software and would be able to answer questions on statistics because of how well I did and how I used to help others who struggled with the class. My teaching style is to have a set of problems made up for the students to observe as examples to help understand certain chapters. I will assign additional problems if needed and focus on the subject matter that is the hardest for the individual to understand.

When working towards my Bachelor's I was able to achieve a dual BS in Accounting and Business Management. After working a few years, I decided to go into teaching. While doing this, I was able to assimilate my real life working experience, into the classroom. I have since obtained a second certification in Special Education. This was after obtaining my Master's in 2007. I believe the combination of these teaching areas, would allow me to help those students, who need different areas of help. My teaching style is one that allows the students to ask any pertinent question about the subject at hand. By allowing the students to do this, it allows me to see what might be giving them a hard time with the learning. Thus, I would be able to ask pertinent questions, that will allow me to show different ways around the troublesome areas, while giving the students a new way to learn the nece

I have extensive experience working with dually diagnosed individuals. The students I taught not only had difficulty learning but also exhibited some emotional and mental difficulties. I work well with students both individually and in group lessons. My special education experience has provided me with an ability to identify where and why students are having difficulty learning. I am able to easily modify and adapt lessons to a students needs. I enjoy working with and teaching all levels of students and children. No two children learn in the same way. It is important to differentiate and identify the way that each child needs to be taught and engaged in the lesson. Lessons must be concrete and meaningful to a child. If things are taught to them in a way and on a level that they can grasp any child can be taught. It is important to me that each child be given an opportunity to learn
