Sociology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oxford, MS

While working to obtain a degree in Elementary Education at the University of Mississippi, I was able to experience a variety of tutoring and instructional techniques in the K-6 grades. Each semester I was assigned to specific grade levels that allowed me to work with instructors and students. I was given opportunities to tutor students throughout the semester through assignments, projects, and volunteering. I have instructional experience and have tutored students in grade levels K-6 during my four years at the University of Mississippi. I obtained a certification to teach General Science grades 7-12 while working on my minor in Geology, and a certification to teach English grades 7-12. I believe education provides students the opportunity to move forward in society as confident and knowledgeable citizens. It is what I think to be one of the most important elements of an individual

I love to learn, and love passing that on to others. I am a patient personality, and I may present a problem to a student to evaluate where they are. From there, we can go either backwards or to more advanced work. Education is very important for myself and for my children, and I like to instill that learning takes you further in life than where someone may have not even dreamed. I am amazed at seeing cashiers who can't make simple change, or someone who can't calculate a small percentage in their head, such as 10% of a number. I want children to learn and have a feel-good attitude with their accomplishments. I have tutored elementary students during my tenure in the Air Force on a volunterr basis.

I believe students must do thier best and to get there they might learn it in a different way. I like to use real life to show way it is important to unerstand skills

I love to assist individuals of all ages. However, I love working with children simply because everything children learn while they are young, will remain with them when they are older. I know that every child is different. However, all children have the capacity to learn. Regardless if I am a tutor, I try my best to help children to become better individuals by being an example.

I believe that our children are our future. Without education to make children successful, our future will not be successful. Knowledge is the key to our success. Each child is unique. Everything is interpreted based on the interpreter. Sometimes, tutoring is necessary. I always look for alternatives to traditional teaching styles. Teaching is not just another job. Teaching or tutoring requires a love for learning and children. I have that love and I truly want to make a good difference in every child I meet. As a Magna Cum Laude graduate,I have always loved knowledge and the beauty of learning. While at the University of Memphis, I tutored at a private school named The Neighborhood School, which provided services to low income families.

The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in making personal decisions as well as participates in discussions that affect society. The teacher also helps build a foundation in subject matter to help develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the world through different disciplines. In May of 2010, I successfully completed my fourth year of teaching. Each year has been different. The children of today learn in many different ways. There has been a change in learning styles over the course of time. Some children may learn through hands on activities and modeling, while others learn through lecture. Regardless of the learning style, I have learned that it is my job to make learning relevant and meaningful to students.
