Career Development

Career Development

I worked for three years as a Reemployment Services Job Coach for the Division of Workforce Solutions (formerly the employment Security Commission). I designed and moderated job search workshops. I also worked one-on-one with clients to help them enhance their résumés, find educational and networking opportunities and improve their overall job search strategy. Before becoming a Job Coach, I worked as an Employment Consultant and Unemployment Claims Supervisor, so I have a great deal of experience matching qualified job seekers with new and rewarding careers. (My undergraduate degree is in Economics, and I have an MBA from Appalachian State University.)
GED

GED

I know first hand what getting a G.E.D. means and how it can change your life. After getting my own G.E.D., I went on to graduate WITH HONORS from college. I now have Masters Degree and a passion for helping G.E.D. test takers achieve their very best!
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have had the pleasure of working with a number of pre-algebra students, and I've become adept at pinpointing exactly which concepts are causing challenges for a student & why. For example, a student who struggling with polynomials may not have ever fully understood the idea of raising a number to a certain power, and may be tempted to combine unlike terms. Some concepts, like using the using the quadratic formula, seem so complex (at first) that they make students doubt their own ability to succeed. Also, students who have made a habit of rushing through other types of math problems often find themselves getting incorrect answers when they try to skip or combine steps. Each step is significant, and will need the student's full attention. Although pre-algebra is a tough subject, it has become one of my favorites to teach. I know how frustrating it can be, but I also know how great it feels for the student (and the tutor) when it all finally "clicks."
Study Skills

Study Skills

Developing study skills takes more than just self-discipline. It takes finding the right studying strategy for each student. For some, minimal distraction is essential. For others, interaction and discussion is critical for completion of the task at hand. Each person may have more than one "best" strategy, depending on the subject he or she wants to master. A good tutor can help a student find his or her perfect way of studying, learning and developing into a top-notch scholar!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

She helped with end goals and was really patient during the lesson. Gwen was a good choice for my son. We will schedule more lessons with her. My son feels like he will learn easily with Gwen.

Aisha, 1 lesson with Gwen

Good at explaining information in understandable terms.

Gwen is really a lovely lady. She has shown me a few new and simple ways to look at old information. Already I feel my confidence improving with her help in strengthening my foundation in the material we are covering. I'm really happy I found her!

Maryanne, 11 lessons with Gwen

Patient, friendly, and encouraging

She helped me learn negative/positive numbers and how to work them, she was very encouraging with my lack of knowledge, and very patient when I messed up. She wrote out questions for me to solve and was able to explain in terms I understood how the numbers worked.

Amazing!!

Gwen is amazing!! I wouldn't want to work with anybody else. She explains everything down to the core and makes sure you understand it before moving forward. Even when I had to take a break for family and personal reasons she had no problem picking right back up and putting me on a new and focused plan! I would give her 20 stars if I could.

Eliana, 10 lessons with Gwen

Great session

My session with Gwen went well she was very patient with me in going over the same thing more then once so that I can have a clear understanding. I am an adult learning math for my ged test so it can be a bit challenging, but so far all is well and I don't feel as anxious as I have in the past.

She helped me a lot with some interview questions and call simulation. I’m feeling much more confident after the classes I had take with Gwen.

Jackie, 2 lessons with Gwen

Knowledgeable and Helpful

She provided me helpful suggestions and advice on how to elaborate more on the important and relevant job duties and responsibilities of the job position. We performed a mock interview which helps me to prepare to sound confident and knowledgeable.
