What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?
I think the thing I enjoy the most when helping others learn is to start from basic conceptual understanding of accounting as a whole. It's made up of what seems like a multitude of pieces, but can often be traced back to a basic concept to build off of.
Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?
The thing that resonates the most with me is growth. Being able to come back to review what needed to be learned and seeing a measurable difference, no matter how big or small, is something that brings positivity to all parties involved.
What is your best advice for students on how to get the most out of their academic experience in college?
Don't be afraid to ask questions when you think they might be too simple. Being able to understand concepts better involves being inquisitive.
