A Little Bit About Me...

I work with students on a hands on, personalized instructional manner. I teach study skills as well as subject knowledge.
I have worked with children throughout college, both in academic and nonacademic settings. I worked on a family literacy program at the Mississippi Childrens Museum, called Planting the Seeds to Read, which entailed teaching children literacy skills and coaching parents in literacy strategies for home. I teach at Canton Young Filmmakers Workshops every summer.

I'm currently attending Jones County Junior College through online classes. I will be attending Hinds Community College in the spring of 2012. I have a 28 on the ACT including a 33 in reading, 28 in english and math, and 26 in science. I at tented East Rankin Academy in Pelahatchie, MS. I was selected to multiple academic competions such as the ABC testing and Quiz and Science bowl
I prefer to figure out how the student learns the best personally, whether through just hearing it or being shown examples and anything and everything in-between. I want to teach students how to not only memorize the material but actually understand the material so they will be able to use that as building blocks forward in their education.

My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : Earned Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education from University of Memphis in 1991. Taught in preschool from 1992 until 1993 in Concord, CA. Taught my own children from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

After graduating from University of Memphis, I moved to California and taught in a Montessori preschool until beginning my own family. To be able to work at home, I managed a small 24 unit apartment complex for 4 years. After my third child, I began homeschooling my own children in grades K-12th grade and have for the last 10 years. I plan to continue until all have graduated.
My teaching style includes more than one style because different children learn in different ways. For example, a child may learn by doing(I would use the demonstration-performance method). Another may be an auditory learner where I would use the lecture method, on a child's age level of course. While a different child may be a visual learner and in that case I would use many visual aids as well as do a lot of independent reading. Without testing, I would not know the child's exact learning style and therefo ... read more

My educational experience includes that of a Master’s Degree in Business Administrator with a Bachelor Degree in Accountancy.

During my down time, I volunteered at local children houses with tutoring activities.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching styles involves teaching concepts and methods that can be broken down in order to understand what concept is being taught at that moment. In which, strategies, assessments, and other demonstrations should be implemented in a teacher’s instructional unit and curriculum to allow higher thinking skills to be activated that will promote a great learning atmosphere. I will love to be able to help transform students from a high school level of learning to challenge them at a higher thinking capability by providing a mental picture of each concept and be able to reach all learning styles.
I have the opportunity to internas asstudent researcher at many prestigious colleges: such as Purdue University, Marquette University, and at University Medical Center conducting research along with presenting research at various conferences. I published a thesis entitled “ Influence of ... read more
