I am passionate about tutoring because I believe everyone should get the chance to understand and learn. In college, I was a teaching assistant and this is where I found my love of teaching.

My goal in tutoring is to help the student reach their goals as efficiently, seamlessly, and enjoyably as possible. Sometimes, the goal is to pass and other times the goal is to create a deep foundation for your career. Both should be celebrated because each one gets you one step closer to your dream.

I learn by doing so I think my default is to walk a student through a process while I use a silly metaphor to better explain the process. Not everyone learns the same so I appreciate when a student gives feedback and we can work together to achieve their goals.

I can relate to being overwhelmed when taking quizzes and tests so I also try to give test taking advice. For example, in Financial Accounting, I suggest information like the accounting equation and an example journal entry be written off to the side. Accounting questions typically are very wordy so this can help you remember to return to the basics.

I think my favorite subject to teach is Microsoft Excel. I have always had a love for computers but I think using this software really shows the depth of my fascination.

I have a business degree in Finance and Accounting as well as a Masters of Accountancy from the University of Oklahoma. I became a CPA at the end of 2018.
