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. 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 give a lot of critical feedback, especially on essays. I color code my comments, fix grammar, sentence structure, offer feedback on the ideas presented, make suggestions for changes, and ask to clarify any gaps in logic or literature that are present in the material. As for logic based subjects like Algebra or the LSAT, I work through everything step by step. I also color code, show you mistakes in logic, present formulas, explain why an answer is right, and why an answer is wrong. In short: I hold your hand through the entire process, and will stay with you until you understand it.

For our younger students who may have basic motor difficulties which impede handwriting, we use strategies such as Handwriting Without Tears and raised paper to support these students. For students with disabilities that may make legible handwriting difficult or impossible, we work with assistive technology to develop content writing skills. For more complex motor difficulties, we can help you determine if it may be necessary to refer to an occupational therapist. For younger students who can write legibly, we use our early literacy programs and methods like Shared Rime to help them learn to spell more accurately. We also help students to produce more content and write more fluently. We connect reading to writing by writing responses to texts we have read. We also begin to teach them important self-sufficiency skills with strategies like the Cover,Copy and Compare Method. As studen

My goal, as an educator, is to guide my students to success. For many students a single class period is not enough time to fully grasp key concepts before moving on to the next topic. It is essential for the mind to review and explore ideas in order to retain key information. I get to know my student in order to use their interests to make learning relevant for them. As a classroom teacher, tutor, and mentor, over the last ten years, I have refined my teaching techniques to increase confidence, critical thinking skills, and retention of key concepts in my students. I have taught math and science for 8 years and continue to tutor students part-time. I have had great success helping student achieve what they thought they couldn't.
