"In today's society, receiving a good education is a pivotal step to reaching your life goals. As a motivator, a trainer, and as a person who leads by example, I take pride into helping, educating and encouraging others who need my advice or assistance. In addition, I am also a good listener for those who need a good listening ear. One way that I help others is to tutor math students; from children who are in their early grade school years, to young adults seeking a higher education. I may not be a teacher or an educator by trade; however, my communication skills and my expertise with assisting others in need, along with my math skills, are more than sufficient to help a student improve his or her grades in mathematics.

During my years in the banking industry, I have acquired customer service and communication skills and I also learned to train and educate co-workers, internal and external customers on various processes and procedures. These skills are vital in tutoring students, especially a subject where many students struggle with. I started my tutoring business in 2012, and use the same approach when communicating with students and parents about providing assistance in the subject. Now that my tutoring business has become a full-time practice, I am able to provide the personal touch that a student needs to learn and eventually master this subject we call mathematics.

During my grade school years, I excelled in mathematics. In 8th grade, I was introduced to Algebra I, and finished my grade school days taking Trigonometry and Functions, in which I achieved grades of a B+ or higher. In my junior year in high school, I scored in the top 15 percent nationally in math on my SATs. During my two years at Howard University, I took Calculus, which was a little more challenging, but it sharpened my math skills to a greater extent.

In my adult years, as I gained experience in dealing with people from a personal and business standpoint, I helped family members and friends with their math problems as a courtesy." less...
