Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mount Hermon, 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 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 stopped working in the hospitals when my oldest child reached the age of 5, so that I could teach my children at home. The four of them are now grown and successful. I employed many techniques during my time homeschooling them, as between them were exhibited several learning styles. It was a delightful experience.

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 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.

My last project was grading national geometry test questions for the PARCC test. That experience gave me a great insight into the Common Core Curriculum which I have been studying and applying in detail. 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. Then I meet their needs by helping them clarify their math specific questions, and practicing the content until they master it! I constantly monitor my students' progress b

Socratic I've worked as a Learning Specialist for 6 years. I started at Mercy Learning in Mandeville and now have a private practice. I trained and began contracting to the Mercy Learning Center, Mandeville Campus as a Learning Specialist for nearly three years. While on staff at MLC I gained valuable insight working with children of differing diagnoses and levels of need, their parents, and clinical care providers. Because my background is medical, my evaluation, diagnostic and case management skill set were a terrific asset in clinical case management and I soon learned how to interface with the school system, as well as compile and present documentation to access services for my clients.
