Parker
Certified Tutor
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Master of Accountancy, both with an emphasis in professional accounting. I also studied Portuguese in depth to refine the foreign language skills and fluency I acquired while living in Brazil for two years. I have considerable formal and informal teaching and tutoring experience, tutoring younger children and college students in math and accounting, teaching moral and religious principles to adults and children at a local church, and helping students and coworkers in informal settings innumerable times with school or work learning. While I tutor (and enjoy tutoring!) a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about all Accounting topics, Portuguese, Reading, and test preparation. I believe excelling at all tests, including Standardized Tests, is a skill that can be taught and learned and acquired by all students, even those who have historically struggled at test taking! I have proven success at helping even the most struggling students to develop a love of reading, writing, and learning, and to find success at school and testing. I've done this through a balance of keeping the responsibility to learn with the student, but doing my part by explaining the material as succinctly as possible and assisting them to learn the content on their own. I've found that if they keep and own responsibility for their own learning, they feel a greater joy of success when the concepts click, and that fuels further learning and success. Education and learning has helped me to find fulfillment in all aspects of my life, and I try to instill this in all of my students. In my spare time, I love to read books and listen to music from a wide variety of genres, play pickup basketball and fantasy football, continue my streak of beating escape rooms with my wife, and coaching and watching my five children in their sports and extracurricular activities.
