Certified English Teacher looking to help!

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.

More About This Tutor...

I am a veteran Teacher of Mathematics; I have been affiliated with the Jackson Public Schools District approximately twenty (20) years or more, serving in various positions as a Limited Substitute Teacher in Mathematics (primarily), English and JROTC as well. My field of expertise is prealgebra, algebra I and Geometry. I am also proficient in the teaching of English and Preparatory Writing in which I taught on the college level as an instructor here locally. My 'love-affair' with Mathematics began when Iwas a very young student in elementary school at Smith Robertson (now a museum), where I was blessed to have been exposed to and taught by some of the best and brightest teachers. I was taught the basic rules of mathematics (done manually; no such animal as a calculator at that time). Afterwards, upon entering middle school, I was introduced to higher level math due to my academic abi ... read more

IMPROVE READING AND WRITING SCORES IN CLASS AND ON THE ACT.

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 the ... read more

English/Computer Literacy Tutoring

I prefer to demonstrate how to understand content. My tactics are deemed personal modeler as a teaching style. I deliver the content through demonstrating it. I act more as a guide or coach and show students how to do the tasks. Student participation as an important part of my lesson plans. Demonstrators often incorporate different learning styles into lessons.
I majored in English Literature and Humanities in college before changing majors to Paralegal Studies and minoring in English Literature. Performed duties as an Editorial Assistant in Humanities and in high school annual poetry and creative writing review. Also during my enrollment in a DOD high school my concentration was in Language Arts and Creative Writing. Currently write and perform poetry pieces and sell written songs.

A Little Bit About Me...

My 20+ years of working have given me the opportunity to gain experience in the following industries: public accounting, non-profit education, telecommunications, legal and banking. Some of the skills that I have acquired include: general accounting, auditing and taxes, budgeting, financial analyses and financial modeling. I also have directed my church choir for the past 20 years.
Even though teaching is not my profession, I enjoy working with individuals and seeing them learn new concepts. I am easy going, calm and patient. My goal is to make learning enjoyable and create a desire to learn more. All students can learn if given the proper tools and environment.

How to learn takes you farther in the Path to Life.

I believe sometimes it is the teacher failing not the student. To become a Doctor we don't always have a choice. i was blind in my left eye and completed on a level equal to all other students. Now they call them special needs. I believe in cognitive dissonance is best way of knowing the retention is high. Repetition is not like having the knowledge of the empirical charts in chemistry and memorizing. A scientific method is used to achieve this by chemist. A degree teaches us "How to Learn" in any subject or later in "Work any Job.

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.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with children and teaching children because I believe each child has his/her own uniqueness about them. I am not a pencil and paper educator. I believe the most creative mind is discovered through hands on activities and using manipulatives and other resources to help a child learn basic skills to reading and mathematics. I am patient, understanding, and considerate of each child's individual needs. I also believe that it takes a village to raise a child and we need more dedicated educators to help build a successful future for our babies.
I have a Political Science degree from Lousiana State University and I had planned to use that degree to get into Law School. However, I love working with children therefore I decided to get an Alternate Route Degree in Teaching Elementary Education.
