A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored.
I have university teaching experience and tutoring students for 19 years in a variety of subjects for students in grades 1-12, as well as traditional and non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate students. In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects, I also provide assistance with Master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations, specifically Statistical/Research Design Methodology and Statistical Analysis. I also have seven yea ... read more

Editor who can make you the best journalist possible!

Reporter, editor, online editor and/or managing editor for daily and weekly newspapers in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio. I have had the privilege of covering politics, business, government, courts, police and community news; as well as feature writing. Additionally I taught JRN 295 for six semesters at Michigan State University.
It has been my experience that students (regardless of age) learn best when the lessons can be adapted to things that are relevant to their lives. Journalism takes in every aspect of life, so whether it is 3D printing, gardening or politics learning to apply the tenets of journalism makes one a better writer and thinker.

Writing Skills is one of my top subjects!

I take a problem solving approach to teaching Excel. Rather than show you the basics without any context, I will ask you to bring me problems you are trying to solve, and we will work through them together. I believe that without applying Excel to situations that really matter to you, it's hard to retain the knowledge for long.
I have 15+ years of Excel and Access experience working mostly for Fortune 500 companies. In my last corporate position, I managed a team of analysts and consultants for a large health insurance company. I have since left that company to start my own Excel training and consulting company for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Experienced, Skilled, Teaching Sociologist.

My pedagogical style emphatically includes small group discussion and activities, formative as well as summative assessments within each session, reciprocal questioning (between me and students, and between students), and opportunities for students to deliver their applications of course content. With respect to using androgogical methods, I offer students opportunities to apply content—especially via research methods—to their own lives and communities, so that they connect their existing knowledge and skills to the content that I introduce. Moreover, I not only deliver content within classrooms but manage supplements and grade all assignments via our Blackboard 9.1 platform. I also help to maintain and manage a Desire2Learn (D2L) platform for the course I teach within our CCC/DePaul University Bridge program.
Holding an M.A. in Sociology from DePaul University, I am a tenured, Ass ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to students of all ages and abilities, including college-level calculus, set theory, logic, number theory, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. I have also tutored my fellow students in various topics of physics. While conducting several research projects in pure mathematics, I spent the summers teaching public school teachers in Chicago new ways to improve their classroom instruction. I also have extensive experience in the humanities. My second degree is a BA (honors) in film theory, which is complemented by many classes in philosophy, literature, and art history.
The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to ... read more

I am inclined to teach at the high school or higher level in Finance and/or Small Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship and what that entails across all functions of a small business. My primary teaching style is to help the student understand the concepts rather than simply memorization. There are many ways to develop long-term conceptual understanding of difficult topics that I have learned and have discovered. My desire is to share this knowledge with others.
In 1991, I earned a dual Major BBA in Finance and Management Information Systems with honors. Concurrently with these degrees and taking 20+ credit hours per quarter, I was tutoring students in Financial Management, Algebra, and Economics. I have spent the past 15 years as an Entrepreneur while I also accomplished getting my MBA from the University of Chicago GSB/Booth School of Business in 2008. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...
