Learning should be adventurous, exciting, and fun!

ASVAB

I have experience haven studied and completed this exam back in 2007 as a prerequisite to receiving a commission in the US army as a 2LT.

Business

Gaining experience in the US Army, I have transitioned to civilian. During my varied career, I have risen in progressive responsibilities in my many roles within the Business/IT industry. Managing to obtain two master degrees, MBA & MSIT. Currently, I am finishing a third masters degree in management information systems. In addition, I hold two post-graduate level certificates and a high number of industry/vendor certifications in the subjects of business, IT, and vendor specific. As I progressed in academia focusing on business, more advanced courses were required.

Elementary (K-6th)

Glad you found me! I'd like to take some time to explain my qualifications for elementary education. Early in my collegiate career, I majored in elementary education. Core courses in that program, required shadowing and volunteering at a number of elementary schools within my area. Multiple courses required performing as a teacher aide helping to develop student learning curriculum, so I probably have spent a number of weeks/months having completed this under the supervision of a licensed teacher. In addition, during my undergraduate years, I worked at a number of child care facilities as a lead teacher for Pre-K and After-School aged children. As part of my role, I created detailed and fun lesson plans to keep the children in my classes engaged. A big aspect of the role was to review a child's schoolwork and assist with homework. This was a big deal, as many parents who enrolled their children, wanted their child's homework completed prior to being picked up to go home. Furthermore, shortly prior to enrolling in graduate school, I taught virtual to elementary aged children (ESOL) English as a Second Language through the online platform, VIPKids. I am still active to teach on this platform today. Due to their rigorous requirements, you must present a lesson plan virtually to a panel (or senior level teachers) to be approved to teach a subject. As a fun side note* my daughter is an elementary school aged child so I do help her with her work with ranges in: mathematics, social studies, art, history, science, etc.

Elementary Math

Mathematics is a intriguing and wonderful subject where being precise is key! If you struggle with math, I can certainly help you. Unfortunately, math gets bad rap these days and it really is fun once you take your time and gain a foundation and learn the formulas.

Elementary Science

I call science the subject of wonders. There is so much beauty to science and like mathematics, a lot of the calculations are quite precise. If you struggle with science, I can help you learn it's not as difficult as you might think. I'd like to take some time to explain my qualifications for elementary education.

GED

I have taken the Florida GED exam in 2001 and passed all sections. But, I am confident that my knowledge in the required academic areas will be adequate. From my brief research, the exam covers: Test 1: Mathematical Reasoning Test 2: Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA) Test 3: Science Test 4: Social Studies

GRE

I have taken the GRE exam in 2012 and would love the opportunity to help others excel. I understand that as of 11/7/2024, the GRE requires: Analytical Writing (One section) One "Analyze an Issue" task Verbal Reasoning (Two sections) Section 1: 12 questions Section 2: 15 questions Quantitative Reasoning (Two sections) Section 1: 12 questions Section 2: 15 questions

Project Management

As the title suggests, I have over 10 years experience managing projects. This experience began when I was commissioned as an officer leading and managing troops and IT projects. My experience continued in the civilian world as a project manager managing projects relating to managed print services which is a subset of IT. I hold numerous project management certifications, also courses in project management that led to multiple masters degrees and post-graduate certificates. I am familiar in several project management methodologies such as waterfall, agile, and hybrid in methodologies such as Lean, Scrum, SAFe, XP, PMI, Kanban, Kaizen, etc.
