Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brandon, MS

I have taught a mixture of 9th, 10th, and 11th grade English over the past 4 years. Teaching is a second career for me and is something that I absolutely love! Being able to help children read, comprehend, and prepare their minds for the future is so rewarding. Much of my experience is in the state tested area of English, focusing heavily on grammar and reading comprehension. Reading is a huge past-time of mine and something that I heavily incorporate into my classroom.

My experience started in my high school years helping my brother and sisters with homework while our mom was working. Presently I am employed at a day care center/ school, were everyday is spent engaged with the kids and their educational needs. I love interacting with the children at work so much so, that the idea of taking on tutoring sounds more so like a new hobby. The child chooses the style. What I mean by this is that every child is different and every one of them learn differently. Teaching on a more personal level is how to aid the best results.

I've been a tutor for the past 8 years. I started tutoring/teaching as a college student, and I've loved every moment. It's so rewarding to see a student's growth in a subject area. I've provided Praxis and ACT prep to students as well as provided help for subject are state tests such as Biology and U.S. History. I love all math and science related subjects and excel at helping students relate to them. I prefer inquiry based learning in which I utilize the facilitator and "personal model" methods to help students improve their independence, increase their confidence to explore subjects independently, and show them first hand how to comprehend concepts

As we continue learning in the 21st century it is obvious how cutting edge technology, child’s learning style, and a child’s personality temperament all play a role in a child’s success in their success in life. Gaining or not developing these skills will ultimately influence their ability to graduate or not graduate from a good college and be a successful person in society. My job as your child's tutor is to be technology savvy, the ability to teach your child emotional intelligence through social modeling, identifying your child’s learning style and implement age and developmentally appropriate learning strategies that will help guide your child in their lifelong journey of learning. As a graduate in Counselor Education from a Private Christian University it has been my observation that the ability to grasp new concepts, possess moral values, developing emotional intelligence, learn

As a Tougaloo graduate and being a tutor over the years has provided an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children. I have always been involved in giving back to my community as well and to serve is indeed important to making a difference.

Through several college degrees, I have taken extra courses in English; I have enjoyed learning the correct way of writing, proper grammar usage, and how sentences are successfully crafted. The area of "words" fascinate me, and I have continued improving my knowledge of the English language over the years. When I was earning my Juris Doctorate, I received the grade of "A" on many papers along with winning the coveted "Highest Grade Award" in my Legal Research and Writing class. Besides assisting numerous colleagues in the past, whether at work or in school, I tutored in a literacy program many years ago. When I have "tutored" fellow colleagues and students in the past, I have learned that one must be creative in their teaching so that every person can learn in their own way. Creativity is the key to helping a person understand, even playful games have their place in teaching. I have a

At Millsaps, I was a member of Beta Beta Beta which is a biology honor society. As a member, I was responsible for tutoring underclassmen for two years. I spent much of my time at Millsaps coming up with a system of studying and organization which I shared with numerous others. Teaching others is most effective when you can convince someone that the material is actually easy. That is what I do. I make it as easy as possible by organizing the material in a way which shows the student that the material isn't infinite. We then chip away at it. This has proven to be most effective for me as a teacher to keep the student motivated and even excited. During my four years at Millsaps, I gained much more than my degree. I learned how to take vast amounts of information and structure it in a way that allowed me to memorize and retain it. To exit Millsaps College, it is necessary to take a
