A Little Bit About Me...

I am a college graduate that has spent the past 8 years working in health and science education and development. During this time I have not only developed educational programs for low literacy and bilingual groups, written grants for government funding for Health educations, but I learned how to educate people of all types of literacy levels. I have tutored students of all ages in the areas of English, Biology and Health Science.
My teaching methods are structured and developed for each individual person. I believe that there are many ways to teach a student. The key to successful teaching is finding out how your student learns; auditory, visual, didactic or with a combination of learning styles. I use a combination of visual and didactic aids in my lectures. I encourage an environment where questions are welcomed. I want students to not just learn the material but understand ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I first introduce myself and get to know a little about the student I am tutoring. Then, I establish a baseline of what they have learned so that I can direct my attention to their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, I get into the material with the student and show them how and why the material is important and applicable in the world in which we live.
I have served as a substitute teacher in Hayward, CA for 1 1/2 years. I worked as a tutor for Learning & Loving It in San Jose, CA for 3 years. I served as a tutor and teacher of adult education in Loganville, GA for 1 year. I am currently on the substitute teacher roster for the Vicksburg School District, and I have been so for two years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I want all children to have a chance. I feel that as a graduate of an accredited university, I am qualified to help the children get to where they need to be. With a quality education, they can begin to explore a world of so many possibilities. I want to let the children know that there are many choices in the world and that by steadily climbing up that educational ladder, the possibilities are endless.
I have received my BA in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. Combining the the two fields has enabled me to work with many different people of many different age groups. I have gained a news sense of respect for individuals who want to make a life for themselves and want to advance to higher levels of education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated cum laude from Jackson State University. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in mass comm/english literature. I have developed extensive grammatical and writing skills by doing research papers for myself as well as assisting fellow peers and other students who had a need for a writer. During the last three years I have tutored and taught education in my church for the purposes of uplifting the educational ministry.
I have a love for education. This is my gift by teaching others what I have been taught throughout my educational life as well as professional life. I am easy going, patient and considerate of others. I don't beleieve in the verbage "slow learners", we all can learn if taught appropriately. Teaching is one of the most rewarding profession in my opinion.

A Little Bit About Me...

I grew up in Spain as my parents were career missionaries. From the time I was young, I have enjoyed teaching and have done it whenever I could. In 13, I taught my younger brother to read. All during high school, I tutored students. When I went to college, my part-time job was to be the assistant to the Spanish professor and to teach in the language lab. I taught for many years in schools overseas, in Nicaragua and Spain. In the U.S. I taught Spanish for 2 years in Piney Woods and 3 years at Clinton High School.
It is my belief that all have the right to receive a thorough and complete education. Children who enter the system at kindergarten should be surrounded by an environment where they can achieve their maximum potential. Their curiosity should be stimulated at a young age, and that along with an organized and developed program, will aid these students in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and helping them understand new ideas. As a classroom teacher, I am aware of the significance of determining each child's learning style and working with them in ways that will compliment that style. I am patient, encouraging and considerate. I believe all children can learn and be successful. I want to teach your student the importance of being a life long learner, and show them learning can be exciting.
I have 5 years experience as a classroom teacher, teaching all subjects. I have taught both upper and lower elementary students. In that time I have worked with many students one on one to improve their skills in reading, basic math, language arts, social studies and science. I have helped students develop study skills,and learning and organizational habits to improve their performance in school.

A Little Bit About Me...

Much of my institutional voyage was spent in the leviathan web of mathematics. I instinctively operated under such a language as the diffusive properties came fairly easy, resulting in a BS in Mathematics with a Business and French minor at Mississippi College. My short venture in civil engineering school at Mississippi State University provided me with knowledge in physics and chemistry as well. Although primarily science driven, I continued to delve in all worlds of education. I love literature, art, language, and history as well. This holistic approach equipped me with a broad mind. Studying abroad in London, England and Tours, France certainly impacted me and gave me unique perspectives.
Throughout my educational experience, I beheld extraordinary wonders in each mentor I encountered. These professors evinced tremendous skill and articulation that provided me with exempl ... read more

I love working with children. I am mainly in the Library however, I work with students on a one to one basis. I cater my teaching style to the indivual students (I work with several). I am patient and considerate because I know that what might work for one student might not necessarily work for the next. I cater to the students needs because I am here for the child's success. I believe that our children are our future and go the extra mile to ensure that I do whatever possible to get them there.
