My comments on tutoring Writing : Writing is one of the least liked abilites of people, yet it is one of the most important! I like to write. So much expression and skills can be gained through writing. Although challenging at times, the skill can be developed to proficiency.

I taught English for a few years and really enjoyed teaching the students about the world of writing. I specialized in the four types of writing: Narrative, Descriptive, Expository, and Persuasive. I also strongly believe in developing strong grammar skills because they comprise well written wrting pieces. Once a student feels confident in his/her writing and speaking skills, the sky becomes the limit.

A Little Bit About Me...

All throughout high school I tutored younger kids with homework or specific needs in classes. I'm very flexible and very hands-on with my teaching. As a visual learner, it helps me to have a visual aid whenever I can and I employ that in my teaching. My strategy is to make learning fun for the students. If I can't enjoy what I'm learning, then I won't learn it and as such I strive to make whatever I'm teaching enjoyable for the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young minds to achieve greatness.
I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be prom ... read more

Certified Special Education Teacher

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2006 wiht a degree in Psychology. While attending USM I taught a combined class Of 3rd And 4th grades. for the past 16 years I have tutor Reading, Math, History, and basic science to children in my family and community. I also substitute teach for 3 school districts.
I believe a child can learn any subject put before him/her. With the belief that a child can learn, it is my challenge to find out what style of learning best fits each child being tutored. When teaching I take the time to present materials one way, and if the student doesn't comprhend I will present it another way. My goal is to help each student meet his or her potential.

I have always had a passion for working with and teaching children. I tend to have a facilitator teaching style by focusing on student-centered learning and activities. I am aware of all different learning styles and gladly accommodate them when working with different children. I allow time for my students to be actively involved in their learning, to rehearse new learning, to reflect, to do something with their new learning, and to make concrete links between new and prior learning. I believe learning should be fun and enjoyable, and I strive to bring that joy to students everyday.

I believe that all children should learn no matter what their ability or disability may be. There should be passionate teachers in the field to be able to take on the responsibility of helping children reach their full potential. As an educator, I nurture my students and provide an emotionally, stable atmosphere while maintaining high expectations for all. My goal is to instill the love and passion of learning in every student that I teach. I do not want to touch one life; I want to touch the life of every child that walks through my classroom door.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have had the opportunity to serve students of many ages, academic levels, and backgrounds. Over the past four years I’ve enjoyed teaching in the Petal School District on the high school level. I taught and tutored students within the general education setting, as well as within the special education classroom. Career Preparation, Reading and English are subjects I have experience in mostly. Before entering the public school setting, I often had opportunities to tutor and interact with students from various schools and grade levels.
I actually believe that having the ability to teach is a gift, and that Learning occurs from a variety of experiences and explorations. I generally use a teacher-centered approach to teaching; however, there are other times that I prefer to use a learner-centered approach as to meet the needs of my students and their learning styles.

A Little Bit About Me...

Curriculum tailored to the specific needs of the client, is successful if interaction is achieved through the use of a learners contract. Goal orientation, achievement and praise allows to student to push beyond the limitations that life circumstances afford. Active involvement in the development of lesson plans that interest the student has proven to be vital. Mainstream education sometimes misses this valuable link. Follow up, focus on the task at hand, and challenging to excel are necessary components of the style that I utilize.

I enjoy working with children of all ages. It is the duty of the teacher to meet children where they are and help them develop skills in their unique learning style. Learning should be interesting; an exploration of their world. I am patient, kind and enjoy encouraging children in their potential. Every child can learn, it is my goal to give every student the best education and enrich their lives in the process.
