Students are unique individuals with diverse backgrounds and various learning styles. Curriculum should embrace such diversity by providing an array of presentation methods that encompass as many learning styles as feasibly possible. Students will rise to meet challenging expectations if practicality also is taken into consideration by the instructor. I aim to teach materials through multiple methods of presentation and to connect new materials to previous knowledge for concrete learning and a “bigger picture” view of materials’ relatedness across courses and disciplines. Additionally, I will provide students with a secure, caring, and stimulating learning environment, which will be student-centered. In such environment, I will facilitate study skill development, critical thinking, and problem solving through discussions, lectures, and hands-on experiences that encourage students to reason using previous and newly gained knowledge related to courses. I believe students can and will succeed - in courses as well as life and career goals - with dedication, determination, and proper guidance along the path they seek.

I love sharing knowledge with students and being like Yoda who helps them be Luke Skywalker, the hero of their story. I am a CPA with an MBA from Tennessee Tech University, earned my CELTA while teaching English in Korea for a total of nine years, and passed the CPA Exam on my first attempt. I enjoy helping students learn and play a small part in helping them achieve their goals. I have experience teaching ESL and enjoy tutoring CPA Exam candidates. I believe that students can be as successful as they choose to be. Do the work and you can succeed! I enjoy a Q&A style lesson that involves the student in active learning, rather than solely giving lectures. Typically, lessons involve using student materials, i.e. CPA Exam prep courses, coaching as needed, and confirming that they got the correct answer, or explaining how to get it. Yes, I can do lectures, but prefer Q&A. Outside of academia I enjoy owning my own CPA firm, spending time with my family, travel, and being active in church.

I received my Bachelor's, Master's, and Ed.S. from Tennessee Technological University. I have worked as a tutor within the chemistry department at TTU for two and a half years, and I have taught chemistry as an educator for eight years. My passion is to help my students reach their full academic potential to become knowledgable, active citizens. I have experience tutoring college-level General Chemistry I and II as well as high school level Chemistry I and II. I also enjoy working with students that are enrolled in physical science because it exposes me to other topics outside of general chemistry. One of my key strengths is providing students with multiple ways to solve problems. Not every student learns through the same modalities as their peers, and this helps my students be successful when it comes to problem solving and increases their higher-order thinking skills.

I am a graduate of The University of Tennessee where I received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. I also have an MBA from Tennessee Tech University and am a CPA. Outside of my academic accomplishments, I have worked in a Fortune 200 Energy company within its Finance and Accounting functions and have worked for a global healthcare company that is ranked 258 on the Forbes Global 2000 list performing various financial and accounting leadership roles. Most of my current work includes financial modeling and controlling for a global IT project, while running the FP&A function for our domestic HR Team and assisting our operations team with various types of financial analysis. I would say that I am most passionate about teaching CPA prep, Accounting, and Finance, as I have found so much practical use out of those subjects in my daily life. I practice Accounting and Finance every single day when building financial models and supervising my co-workers, some of whom are new to this subject matter. I enjoy helping people who are either students or early in their careers not only understand the subject matter they are trying to learn but also helping them understand how that knowledge can help them in their careers.This translates well to helping students prepare for the CPA exam, learning advanced financial modeling techniques, as well as basic finance and accounting. I believe that education, next to health, is the most important thing in someone's life as it opens doors to so many opportunities. In my spare time, I enjoy vigorous exercise, world travel, and I am an avid college football fan.
