I have been an AP Literature and Composition teacher as well as Twelfth grade Language Arts instructor for over 16 years. I am acutely aware of the needs of students as it relates to mastering reading and writing skills. I have also taught an ACT Prep course for the past 5 years after extensive training at workshops and conferences. I know the importance of identifying weaknesses in reading, writing, and on standardized tests such as the ACT and directing my instruction to those weaknesses. I am especially skilled at targeting writing weaknesses as it relates to both rhetoric and mechanics as I am a practicing writer myself. Though reading ability is gained with much practice, there are practice methods to increase speed and cognition. I differentiate my instruction both in the classroom and individually to work at all writing and reading levels so that maximum benefit is achieved by th

As a middle school teacher for Jackson Public Schools, my jobs duties include planning and preparing lessons, grading papers, and preparing report cards. Teaching classes and assessing student’s progress and performance. Providing constructive feedback and guidance to students experiencing educational or personal challenges. Maintaining order and discipline in the classroom. Communicating with parents, teachers, and other professionals both formally and informally. I am a very eccentric individual who enjoys my students both academically and personally. My teaching style involves developing a personal relationship with my students in order to more effectively advance them academically. Once a student becomes comfortable with me, they also embrace the fact that it's ok to be open with me about their strengths and weaknesses. I believe its essential that the learning environment is emotion

From 1998-2003, I taught English and French at the University of Yaounde. From January 2004 to May 2009, I taught French and English at Pennington Jr. High in Indianola,MS. I spent the current school year with Sunflower County Schools as foreign language coordinator and as from August 2010, I will be working with Jackson Public Schools. I am also a faculty consultant with ETS and Mississippi Virtual Public School. I prefer a participative and collaborative teaching style. This involves an active participation of the students. My role is limited to that of guide, facilitator, and helper. Instead of telling or giving students the concepts or skills, I help them discover them. This allows for easier comprehension and longer retention.

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. 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.

During my education at Alcorn, I have helped a myriad of my colleagues with papers, historical facts, and a general/detail understanding of a given historical topic. I would routinely do this three to four times a week. This opportunity helped to expand my knowledge and expound the students. My teaching style is to merge technology, current events, and thought provoking question into one. I related the given subject to the student as best as I can. This makes the subject personal and it makes the information easy to retain.
