Rory
Certified Tutor
Many of the opportunities that have come our way is because of the education we have received coupled with those who have encouraged us along the way.
Moreover, I am determined to give back as much as I have received. My teachers have helped to shape my outlook on life.
Consequently, I firmly believe that I more than qualified to reciprocate the nurture and care that was given me during my classroom days.
Significantly, I am the head Sabbath school superintendent of my church, as the leader for the Sabbath school department I am responsible for coordinating the bible study, fellowship, community outreach and in-reach, along with world mission.
Moreover, this task allows me to deal with people and thus gives me a better understanding of how to satisfy the different needs of people.
The courses that I have applied for are areas that I have studied and have worked in. Therefore, I bring to the classroom, my own practical experience coupled with the theoretical knowledge I have.
Finally, I am an Instructor of English, Accounting, Personal and Professional Development at Manhattan School of Computer Technology. Because of my experience I am aware that teaching adults is quite different from teaching children. I shall be happy to get the opportunity to work with this organization.
