More About This Tutor...

I have spent the better part of the past 12 years teaching grammar, creative writing, literature, and basic English structure. I have my BFA in Creative Writing and my BA in English from Arkansas Tech University, and I have my MA in English from Highlands University. I have taught all levels of college composition, creative writing, and American Lit. Also, I have taught English at the high school level. Also, I have a minor in American History.
I believe in personal interaction with students – making them write, making them read – going over every detail, looking at the issues (grammar, punctuation, syntax, coherent structure (logic, unity, transitions, parallelism,)) and then re-writing and re-reading. The key to doing well in English is understanding basic structure and making it become second nature when writing. Through personal interaction, the process can be simplified ... read more

I am a driven individual who has obtained a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Child Welfare in addition to a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. While attending graduate school I worked as a substitute teacher which allowed me to gain experience working with children of various ages and levels. I enjoy working with children and families and being able to positively impact and enrich their lives. For the past 7 years I have taught psycho-educational groups, in my most recent place of employment I worked hands on with young adults helping them develop independent living skills. I am fluent in Spanish as I grew up speaking the language in addition to some formal education to improve on grammar and spelling.
I enjoy being able to work with children and being able to positively impact their lives whether that be through empowering them to succeed or teaching new sk ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of a major university and have several degrees: BS in Clothing, Merchandising and Textiles, AA in Political and Economic Science, as well as two minors, one in General Business and the other in Communications. They have all enabled me to learn and understand a wide range of different areas: English, math, science, accounting, and writing. Also I am well versed in History. In my college experience I have had to accomplish writing successful papers, understand general math as well as business math, I can bring these concepts to a child who is struggling in these areas and help them to overcome and understand the subject. I have tutored English in the past and I am looking to help other students.
I teach by talking to the student, finding what they relate to and using that information in correlation with their studies to help them better understand the subject. As wel ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of a small junior college I believe one on one teaching gives students the advantage over a large group because the child can receive the necessary attention for learning skills in reading, writing and math. Many children learn differently some are visual learners,some are audio etc. I have been instructed through various techniques in reading with chilldren that will help them achieve a higher reading level of success. I am a hands on person where math is concerned allowing the child to use mannipulatives. Taking time to explain until they understand. In reading we can do shared reading and other techniques.
I have a great joy working with children because most of them are eager to learn. Along with patience and proper instruction I am a firm believer the scores will be achieved without the child feeling diappointed. I believe through visual picture walks and othe ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college student I worked with many early childhood education programs. The one that sticks out in mind is Jumpstart.Jumpstart is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.Jumpstart’s research-based curriculum is focused on building language, literacy, social and emotional skills in preschool children, while providing our volunteers with a rewarding way to have lasting impact in their communities.
My teaching style would be more of a demonstrator or personal model. I am more interested in encouraging student participation and adapting their presentation to include various learning styles. Students are expected to take some responsibility for learning what they need to know and for asking for help when they don't understand something.

I love learning & teaching children of all ages & of all learning styles. I am a very dedicated, patient, & passionate teacher. I believe all students can reach their own individual needs with the appropriate learning skills, positive influence, & strong foundation.
As a student in high school, I always have had a passion for math, as well as a passion to teach. I earned my Associate's Degree in Math Education from Mary Holmes College & went on to pursue my Bachelor's Degree from Mississippi State University. Even while pursuing my degrees, I was a Substitute Teacher for the West Point School District for almost 4 years. I then became a Teacher Assistant for the Starkville School District, and now I am a Pre-K Teacher for Oktibbeha COunty School District. I love children, I love learning, and most of all I love teaching!

I have taught as an English Instructor at East Mississippi Community College and Mary Holmes College. I taught several courses. Developmental I and II were very basic grammar and writing courses. Composition I and II were courses that introduced students to writing essays and the research paper. In addition, I have also taught English as A Second Language at Mississippi State University and Greater Columbus Learning Center. I taught grammar, reading, phonics, vocabulary, and conversational English. I also worked at RTP for a year as a GED tutor. I tutored math, social studies, and language arts. I also worked with students who were studying for the ACT.
I believe that every student deserves a quality education, and it is my responsibility not just to lecture or impart information, but to ensure that students gain a fundamental understanding of the material being present ... read more

I try to set high standards in order to prepare students for future work. I like to ask questions which stimulate students to think about big ideas. I prefer to use Discussion-based teaching when applicable.
I have taught classes at the college level since 2004. These include U.S. History surveys, the Civil War, African-American History, and others. I have worked mostly with teenagers in these classes. Recently, I tutored high school students at Dr. Linda Pearson's Reading and Math Center in Birmingham, AL. I am very comfortable working with students to improve their reading and writing abilities.

My teaching style exhibits a very individualized, hands-on approach. Even in a classroom with 20-30 students, I attempt to understand individual learning styles and work with students on an individual basis when possible. As a tutor, my approach is not to use a standard approach to which I expect the student to adhere. I feel it is my responsibility to understand how the student learns and comes to understand. Once I can get a feel for this, I use this individualized approach to make the student feel comfortable and confident that they can accomplish the task they are trying to complete.
I have had numerous experiences teaching over the past few years through my degree program at the University of Alabama. As part of my clinical experiences, I have taught in middle school and high school History and Social Studies classrooms. Last year, I taught for an entire semester at Tuscaloosa ... read more

I am a conversational teacher. I try to always start with where the student is at and build from there. I like listening to students and relating to them at their level and letting them draw from me all that they can take and encourage their learning. I believe the best learning takes place when students are provided the proper atmosphere in which to learn. Also, in order for students to be successful, they must be allowed to deal with things that interest them and that serve more needs than just to fulfill an assignment, so I try to keep it relevant, customized, and, of course, as much fun as possible!
I have a very long history in school -- I have been in and out of school for many, many years, staggering my diploma, bachelor's, master's and doctorate across 25 years interspersed with jobs in industry. I believe learning is a lifelong process and that it never ends! I have a dipl ... read more

I love to learn. It has always come easily for me. Throughout my schooling, I realized I was able to understand certain concepts very quickly & in easier ways than taught by the teacher. I found myself helping others understand the subject matter like me. I am patient, helping students to work through many different angles of solutions until something works. Because everyone learns differently, I am creative & adaptive to the student I am working with. I am also very personable while maintaining professionalism & respect. My main objectives are helping the student obtain a true understanding of the subject matter, improving the student's academic performance, & promoting a healthy appetite for learning & the will to succeed.
As a recent graduate from the University of Alabama, I have possessed a passion for learning in hopes to become a doctor. I have earned a BS in Biology and a M ... read more
