Hello, my name is Michelle. Nice to meet you! I am a business professional with 13+ years of experience in marketing, public speaking, writing and using various MS Office tools (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I have my BS from Cornell University and an MBA from Duke University. I am also a member of Toastmasters International where I have a achieved the Competent Communicator status (10 speeches in a year) and have competed in area, district and statewide public speaking competitions. But more importantly, I have always had a passion for teaching people one-on-one. In my day-to-day work, I often get involved in mentoring co-workers and friends and helping them with their specific tutoring needs. People tell me that I have a very calm and patient tutoring style that allows people to feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, feelings and fears. I also provide support, positive reinforcement and constructive feedback to help my "students" build confidence in a certain area.
My tutoring experience falls into the following categories:
