A Little Bit About Me...

I taught them and their friends over the years. I taught sunday school children. I am very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have a BA in accounting with a minor in math. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers in many areas of study.
I like to get the kids invovled. We, of course, cover the required instruction but I like to have fun. It is important the kids think they have a say so. I love teaching and working with kids. I believe all children can learn but each in a different way. I am available to help your child find academic success.

A Little Bit About Me...

College educated professional with two decades of work experience. I have worked in a variety of jobs over the years, and I know that academic pursuits aren't always easy for working people. I will tutor students, but my focus is on helping adults who are working toward a GED or who want to improve themselves or their prospects in the workplace.

For math problems, I usually work problems and explain each step, and then have the student attempt to work a similiar one when they feel like they understand the problems. I try to be as helpful as possible while still focusing on the goal of total understanding for the student, as well as the ability to work a similiar problem independently with confidence. For paper writing, I would have the student brainstorm some ideas, and then together we could discuss the pro's and con's of the topic and organization choice, and provide tips on how we could better the assignment. I am willing to give as much or as little help as a parent would prefer, as good grades are one goal but the students mastery of the material is the most important.
I have not tutored publicly before, but have tutored friends children/ family members for standardized tests such as the high school history and englis ... read more

I believe all children are born with the same amount of human potential. However, I’m disheartened by what I’ve witnessed in Mississippi’s public schools: that many children are failing to read at grade level. They are often “left behind.” My approach to teaching is driven by my belief that all children can learn if given the cognitive stimulation coupled with a nurturing, learning environment. I know that children are eager to know, understand, and discern. I believe teachers should not disseminate facts; instead they should cultivate the desire for knowledge. Nearly everyone who meets me tell me I should be a teacher. I look forward to the day when I am able to teach my own children. Until that day comes, I would like to teach others.

A Little Bit About Me...

Determining the learning styles of individual students is important to me. I adjust and accomodate my approach based on how students respond and learn. Changing my methods and being creative help me reach students on many levels. I enjoy building on past knowledge, kinesthetic activities, and appealing to students interests.
I have been a teacher for the past five years. I have taught Language Arts and History. For the past two years I have taught 7th and 8th grade, but I have also taught 9th and 5th grade. Outside of my career, I have tutored my own children, currently ages 11 and 9.I have also been an Intervention Coach and tutor. I excell at individual and small group tutoring.

I love to assist individuals of all ages. However, I love working with children simply because everything children learn while they are young, will remain with them when they are older. I know that every child is different. However, all children have the capacity to learn. Regardless if I am a tutor, I try my best to help children to become better individuals by being an example.
I am currently a senior at University of Mississippi. I graduate May 08, 2010 with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I have tutored 4th graders at Della Davidson Elementary School in Oxford, MS in Reading and Social Studies. I love interacting with the students and found great reward in doing so.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching, and particularly teaching children and young adults. I am a patient, considerate teacher, and I am willing to review the materials as often as necessary to help the student succeed. I had the benefit of a nurturing tutor in high school, and her example has helped shape my world-view. I believe that remaining task-oriented and receptive to the needs of the individual are key to helping the student learn. No two students learn in the same manner, at least in my experience. The ability to recognize that and then to adapt is paramount.
As a graduate of Duke University, I hold myself to the highest standards. I have spent the last ten years as a manager, and as such I have led numerous training courses for both hourly and exempt associates. In the community, I have taught pro bono ESL classes to a predominantly Hispanic community. During the course of my undergra ... read more
