Qualified MBA & Experienced Teacher, Business Technology

As an experienced teacher/tutor as well as an MBA Candidate I have worked with students of all ages, ranging from preschool to adult learners. My areas of expertise include maximizing efficiency and results in reading and study habits, English as a foreign and second language, public speaking and presentation skills, career development and business technology tools such as Microsoft Powerpoint/Keynote, Microsoft Excel/Numbers, Microsoft Word/Pages.

My experience includes working with many different learning styles and needs, from special education to adult professionals. My strengths include an ability to explain difficult concepts in multiple ways, patience with challenging topic areas and a commitment to adapting lesson styles and content to individual needs.

Whenever possible, especially with applications such as business software, I will provide students with documented materials/tutorials, either pre-prepared or customized to unique needs.

While I currently work as a sustainable business consultant, my passion lies with education and teaching. I am fluent in Spanish and have flexible hours. I look forward to helping you or your child excel and build confidence as well as skill sets.
