More About This Tutor...

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.

Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects! 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

More About This Tutor...

Through several college degrees, I have taken extra courses in English; I have enjoyed learning the correct way of writing, proper grammar usage, and how sentences are successfully crafted. The area of "words" fascinate me, and I have continued improving my knowledge of the English language over the years. When I was earning my Juris Doctorate, I received the grade of "A" on many papers along with winning the coveted "Highest Grade Award" in my Legal Research and Writing class. Besides assisting numerous colleagues in the past, whether at work or in school, I tutored in a literacy program many years ago.
When I have "tutored" fellow colleagues and students in the past, I have learned that one must be creative in their teaching so that every person can learn in their own way. Creativity is the key to helping a person understand, even playful games have their place in teaching. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Tougaloo graduate and being a tutor over the years has provided an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children. I have always been involved in giving back to my community as well and to serve is indeed important to making a difference. I have gained a closer perspective on the trials children now face and how a mentor like myself, affects the lives of many by fostering insight, identifying needed knowledge, and expanding growth opportunities.
I have always had a passion to help all children. I believe I can help them discover things they did not know about themselves whether it be personal experience or not, but discovering the possibilities an education is great success! My personal goals and expectations for the upcoming year are to facilitate personal growth by sharing knowledge I have gained the previous year. I also want to challenge my mentees to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Following my graduation from USM, I had many experiences teaching a variety of children from many cultures. Having taught in a DODDS school in Karlsruhe, Germany I was exposed to the German way of teaching. My first year of teaching was in an inner city school thar offered many challengs. I believe my experience teaching children from diverse backgrounds prepared me to handle any situation in the teaching environment.
I love children and I love teaching them. I believe in an individualized style of teaching that caters to a child's individual needs. Because I love teaching, I am a patient and caring teacher. I believe every child can learn, and implement a way of learning around that belief. I like to make a difference and "see the light come on". When it does, I know I have done my job.

As we continue learning in the 21st century it is obvious how cutting edge technology, child’s learning style, and a child’s personality temperament all play a role in a child’s success in their success in life. Gaining or not developing these skills will ultimately influence their ability to graduate or not graduate from a good college and be a successful person in society. My job as your child's tutor is to be technology savvy, the ability to teach your child emotional intelligence through social modeling, identifying your child’s learning style and implement age and developmentally appropriate learning strategies that will help guide your child in their lifelong journey of learning.
As a graduate in Counselor Education from a Private Christian University it has been my observation that the ability to grasp new concepts, possess moral values, developing emotional intelligence, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I do understand that from my years of tutoring that each child has to be taught differently. In my tutoring session, I have to be creative hands on with some of the students so they can visually see and understand the objective.
I have a passion for education. I desire to see others succeed holistically in their life not just academically. I have a degree in business with several years in management. I also am seeking my education certification through the alternate route process. I have 4 years of volunteer tutoring service working with K-5th grade in all subjects. I enjoy reading and writing along with math. I believe every child can learn and is smart.
