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

A Little Bit About Me...

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 work with students on a hands on, personalized instructional manner. I teach study skills as well as subject knowledge.

Experienced and Creative Tutor in Math, Science, & ACT prep

I've been a tutor for the past 8 years. I started tutoring/teaching as a college student, and I've loved every moment. It's so rewarding to see a student's growth in a subject area. I've provided Praxis and ACT prep to students as well as provided help for subject are state tests such as Biology and U.S. History. I love all math and science related subjects and excel at helping students relate to them.
I prefer inquiry based learning in which I utilize the facilitator and "personal model" methods to help students improve their independence, increase their confidence to explore subjects independently, and show them first hand how to comprehend concepts

My comments on tutoring Poetry : Published works.

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.
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 teach others by first trying to understand the way that person learns best. If I find that one way does not work for that student, I will try a different approach. I have found that many students have an easier time grasping basic understanding by using real life examples to which they can relate. Once a basic understanding is achieved, further learning can begin. I believe it is important for a student to feel they can be honest about their progress and feel comfortable asking questions. I always encourage students when they are on the right track in order to promote self confidence. When students feel smart they are encouraged to reach greater learning levels.
I have earned both a degree in English and a master of business administration. I am currently a CPA examination candidate, and I have passed two sections of the exam. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals, and I hav ... read more

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, learn how to work with others as a team player and learn new learning technology is pivitol in order to be successful in life. As a mental health therapist, teaching others life skills and academic skills is my life long mission.
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 ... read more

As a middle school teacher for Jackson Public Schools, my jobs duties include planning and preparing lessons, grading papers, and preparing report cards. Teaching classes and assessing student’s progress and performance. Providing constructive feedback and guidance to students experiencing educational or personal challenges. Maintaining order and discipline in the classroom. Communicating with parents, teachers, and other professionals both formally and informally.
I am a very eccentric individual who enjoys my students both academically and personally. My teaching style involves developing a personal relationship with my students in order to more effectively advance them academically. Once a student becomes comfortable with me, they also embrace the fact that it's ok to be open with me about their strengths and weaknesses. I believe its essential that the learning environment is e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with youth and at-risk youths between the ages of 5-17 for over nine years. During the course of the years, I have tutored students in all required subjects, such as, math, science, reading, and language arts. I have also had the opportunity to work with students with essays for student council positions held within their high school. Over the last three years, I have also had the opportunity to assist with ABE/GED pre-testing, as well as teaching basic computer skills, character education, and life skills workshops to youths and young adults.
I have always had a passion for teaching anyone who needed my assistance. I feel that everyone has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind to doing. Over the years, I have also learned that no one learns skills at the same level. Knowing that, I take my time and learn what interests the students that I'm helping a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

From 1998-2003, I taught English and French at the University of Yaounde. From January 2004 to May 2009, I taught French and English at Pennington Jr. High in Indianola,MS. I spent the current school year with Sunflower County Schools as foreign language coordinator and as from August 2010, I will be working with Jackson Public Schools. I am also a faculty consultant with ETS and Mississippi Virtual Public School.
I prefer a participative and collaborative teaching style. This involves an active participation of the students. My role is limited to that of guide, facilitator, and helper. Instead of telling or giving students the concepts or skills, I help them discover them. This allows for easier comprehension and longer retention.
