My Approach as a Tutor My teaching method is rooted in the practical experience I've gained over 20 years in executive leadership, particularly in supply chain, operations, and strategic planning. My approach is not just about theory; it's about applying real-world business principles to academic concepts. My Teaching Method and Techniques My teaching method is centered on a consultative and hands-on approach. I act as a mentor, guiding students through complex topics by connecting them to tangible business examples. Instead of simply providing answers, I use a questioning technique to help students think critically and solve problems independently, much like I've done in my career. My key techniques include: Case Studies: I create and use simplified case studies based on my professional experience to illustrate concepts like supply chain optimization or strategic sourcing. For example, we could look at how my team navigated supply chain disruptions from 2020-2022 to understand risk management in a real context. Problem-Solving Workshops: Lessons are structured around solving specific problems, whether they're from a textbook or a scenario I've created. This active learning approach builds confidence and a deeper understanding of the material. Concept Mapping: I help students visualize the connections between different topics using diagrams and flowcharts, making complex systems like a circular supply chain much easier to grasp. A Typical Lesson Plan A typical lesson would be structured as follows: Review (10 min): A quick recap of the previous lesson and any assigned work. Theory & Application (30 min): I introduce a new topic, explaining the core concepts. We then immediately dive into a practical example or case study to apply what we've learned. Collaborative Problem-Solving (15 min): We work together on a problem, with me providing guidance rather than direct solutions. Independent Practice & Q&A (5 min): The student attempts a similar problem independently while I'm available to answer questions. Wrap-up (5 min): We summarize the key takeaways and I provide a preview of the next lesson. What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor What sets me apart is my ability to ground academic subjects in real-world professional experience. I don't just teach the "what," but the "why" and "how." My background in executive leadership allows me to share insights on topics like contract negotiation, strategic planning, and operations management that go beyond what a textbook can offer. I can provide context on how these skills are valued in the professional world, making the lessons more relevant and motivating for the student. Who the Lessons Are For My lessons are best suited for students who are serious about understanding the practical applications of their studies. This would include: Undergraduate students majoring in business, engineering (especially mechanical), supply chain, or operations. MBA candidates looking for practical insights to complement their academic coursework. Young professionals who are new to roles in supply chain or sourcing and want to accelerate their learning.
