A Little Bit About Me...

I believe everyone is capable of learning. I can get alone with any type of student. I have no preference and can work with special needed students also. I'm patient, easy going, considerate, and sometimes to helpful. I strive to provide the best education for students as well as myself.
I'm very much driven to excel in high levels of education. I have earned my bachelor degree, BS in General Studies, and currently working on my masters degree, MBA in Public Administration. I have many skills that includes typing, office work, math, term papers, and some Spanish. With the last ten years I have tutored family members and friends because I thrive to see others succeed and plan to open my own tutoring center once my degree are complete.

More About This Tutor...

I'm a recent graduate of Rust College. During my years at college I tutored in subjects as biology, basic math, college algebra,English literature, and also was a co-judge for a local junior high science fair. During the summer of 2009, I did my internship with the Ronald E. McNair program at the University of Mississippi. This program focused mainly on research based studies with a chosen graduate professor.
I'm an assertive motivator. Learning should not be repulsive, children love to learn by examples that they can relate to. I find the opportunity to combine the likes and dislikes of the student and mold them into a constructive solution. Using metaphors and similes are more of my specialties. The style is strict, but the concepts are easier. When the task is completed, the student will say I was tough but with a caring aftereffect.

I have been a secondary level teacher for 15 years and an elementary teacher for the prior 10 years. I taught in the Chicago Public School system for twenty of those years. I have extensive knowledge in physical and life science. I taught Biology for about 5 years. I am currently working on my second masters in Accounting. I have tutored students for over 25 years in various areas such as reading, mathematics, and statistics.
I have effective communication skills. I beleive everyone can learn something new, if you can communicate to them in their realm of experience. I always seek ways to reach such realms by giving them a frame of reference or a standard that they can relate to.

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
My diverse work experiences in the non-profit sector have provided practical, real-world training in helping students reach their full academic pot ... read more

I believe that all children are teachable! Every person, each child, is unique and it is my responsibility to evaluate and determine the most appropriate learning style of each student. When students are instructed in their preferred learning styles, they flouish! A good, quality educator takes time to accomodate each students weaknesses and talents. Everyone excels at something! It is my role as a teacher to find that spark of excellence and build upon it. I am capable of making a positive impact on a child's life. That's my goal!
Since my graduation from Ole Miss in 1985, I have had the delightful experience of teaching children from all walks of MS. The children of MS have a thirst for knowledge that is rarely discussed in the media. Our children want to learn! I've instructed every grade level from K-8, inclusive, tutored Pre-Alg,Alg I, and admin correspondence courses ... read more

In May of 2010, I successfully completed my fourth year of teaching. Each year has been different. The children of today learn in many different ways. There has been a change in learning styles over the course of time. Some children may learn through hands on activities and modeling, while others learn through lecture. Regardless of the learning style, I have learned that it is my job to make learning relevant and meaningful to students.
The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in making personal decisions as well as participates in discussions that affect society. The teacher also helps build a foundation in subject matter to help develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the world through different disciplines.

As a graduate from the University of Phoenix I understand the importants of higher education. I have earned a bachelors degree in Pychology/Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math, science, and reading. As part of my training I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and power point with notes. During the past 10 years I have tutored students of all ages in English, reading, math, science, social studies, computer skills, and basic life skills.
I love teaching and working with children, I believe all children can learn, but in different ways. Each child should be able to feel like they have academic success, even if it is not the same as other students. I believe students must do thier best and to get there they might learn it in a different way. I like to use real life to show way it is important to unerstand ... read more
