Teaching
Philosophy
Eight years ago I left the rat race of
corporate America and embarked on a new
career, teaching accounting and computer
courses at the college level. My
primary goal is for the students to
learn the skills necessary to be
successful and productive in the
workplace. I find that a well-planned
and structured class facilitates the
learning process. I strive to present
the material using a very logical
step-by-step approach, consistently
building and expanding upon prior
concepts. Learning is a life long
process and it should be enjoyable for
both the students and teacher. I strive
for a classroom atmosphere that embraces
this concept. I encourage an
environment of respect and support in
the classroom.
