Hello potential students, I am Edith, and I have been teaching for 18 years at the college level in business, marketing, and management. I have also conducted seminars in France and taught in Russia. I hold 4 masters degrees. In addition to the two listed above, I also hold an EdM in education administration with a background in education business, psychology and ethnography from Columbia University. The masters from StonyBrook specializes in American, European, and Business History and Political Science. My fourth masters is from St John's in Library Science. Currently I am pursuing my PhD in Management online at Walden University.

I received my TOEFL and TOESL certification in ESL from the Language School in Montpellier, France in 2010. I have been conducting private tutoring in earth science, English, history, basic philosophy, education, and age of enlightenment, American and European History, business, French, and computers for 10 years. I am French and speak it fluently. I took Italian in school for 7 years and can tutor basic Italian grammar and exercises. I teach at the college and university level in business, marketing, retailing, management, advertising, and promotions. I can teach marketing research, human resource management and all general business classes.

My four masters degrees are an MBA in Management, an MALS in liberal studies with a concentration in business history and political science, Edm from Columbia in education administration, and an MLS in Library Science. The age group of students that I am most aligned to tutoring are undergraduate and graduate students. However, I can also tutor high school students in French, Italian, science, English, health and nutrition, and social studies. As for the college students, I can tutor all business classes, French, earth science, basic nutrition, basic American, business, and European history, education, library science, and English.

As for my teaching philosophy, I believe students learn best when they associate what they are learning to something that is important to them in everyday life. As a tutor, I carry the same philosophy in the kinds of examples I would give. For example, if I tutor a student in marketing and they want an example of a direct distribution channel, I would offer examples like online credit card orders, doctors, lawyers, and hair salons, which are everyday examples that students can relate to. These kind of examples help students understand the difference between direct and indirect distribution as an example. Also, it is important that I understand diverse learning styles, which is why I have made myself familiar with Gardner's Seven Intelligences and Bloom's Taxonomy. Some people learn by doing, some are visual learners, and others are auditory learners. Also Bloom's Taxonomy helps me teach students how to apply, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize what they learn and become critical thinkers.

In addition, I am a Christian and I can also help tutor in basic Bible studies such as how to read the Bible, and the basic concepts of the Bible. In addition, I can help students understand the lives of people in the Bible such as Job, Abraham, Mary Magdalene, etc and their importance to the faith.
