Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kentwood, LA

I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like. I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class with a 4.0. While there, I often tutored people in writing and research, as well as serving as a Teaching Assistant for various classes including: Theatre History, Voice for the Actor, and Shakespeare.

I have been tutoring in various subjects for 3 years. 2 of those years were in a university setting, in a university sponsored learning center. Through this job, I received training each semester on dealing with learning differences, learning disabilities, and communicating complicated ideas in a manner that is easy to understand. I use open-ended questions and try to break tasks into manageable steps until the student has a good grasp of the topic. I almost never just give answers away, because that doesn't help you learn; I will walk you through the steps and give you reassurance when you are on the right track.

I have a wonderful relationship with my students. I am highly motivating and want my students to have fun while learning. In addition, my true love and concern for children is sensed by my students and they genuinely love me. Therefore, they will please me and do their best work to make me feel proud. I retired from teaching due to health reasons and cannot physically meet the demands of full time class room teaching. However, I miss working with the children and would love the opportunity to connect again and see progress.

I am a retired teacher who taught various science courses for 25 years in the Jefferson Parish Public School System. Over the years I have taught biology, chemistry, earth science, physical science, and even pre-algebra. I have a proven track record of results in science education. Many of my students have gone on to have excellent careers as doctors, nurses, dentists, and other science-related disciplines. Also, I can speak a little Spanish although I do not consider myself bilingual. I feel the best way to teach is to put yourself in the student's place. I realize that most science material is totally new to the student so the teacher must not assume that the student just "knows these things." You have to start from square one and explain the concepts thoroughly. The teacher should never move on to a new concept until the student has mastered the previous concept.

I believe every student can learn. The key is to find your student's strengths and inspire her or his internal motivation. One on one teaching makes a significant difference even in the most reluctant learners. For those who are motivated to earn their best score, I routinely see more than 3 point gains in Reading, Writing/English and Science on the ACT. Because of the family resemblance of standardized tests, you will see not only ACT score increases, but improved English and Math grades as well. While my specialty is Verbal and Science, I have a number of incredible strategies for the math section that can help your student answer 6-12 more questions correctly. I am a certified teacher, currently practicing in Covington, La. I've taught ACT and SAT prep for 7 years, along with the essential skills intervention required to raise scores. My teaching experience includes: 10 years classroo

As a math tutor,my main goal is to help students regain their confidence in their abilities to be successful in their math class or in achieving the desired test scores. I have been successful in the past in doing so by first identifying my students'individual weaknesses and strengths.
