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

For math problems, I usually work problems and explain each step, and then have the student attempt to work a similiar one when they feel like they understand the problems. I try to be as helpful as possible while still focusing on the goal of total understanding for the student, as well as the ability to work a similiar problem independently with confidence. For paper writing, I would have the student brainstorm some ideas, and then together we could discuss the pro's and con's of the topic and organization choice, and provide tips on how we could better the assignment. I am willing to give as much or as little help as a parent would prefer, as good grades are one goal but the students mastery of the material is the most important. I have not tutored publicly before, but have tutored friends children/ family members for standardized tests such as the high school history and english stat

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's growth and development, and it is so vital that educators create innovative ways to help children become successful citizens in society. My primary focus in education is student success. In order for students to succeed in school teachers must first provide a safe place where students are actively engaged in learning. When students are engaged in the learning process they are motivated to learn and succeed in school. 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 inst

I have spent the last four years teaching World History, Government, Economics and Learning Strategies at Gentry High School.

My students also know the moment they ste

I believe that all children are teachable! Every person, each child, is unique and it is my responsibility to evaluate and determine the most appropriate learning style of each student. When students are instructed in their preferred learning styles, they flouish! A good, quality educator takes time to accomodate each students weaknesses and talents. Everyone excels at something! It is my role as a teacher to find that spark of excellence and build upon it. I am capable of making a positive impact on a child's life. That's my goal! Since my graduation from Ole Miss in 1985, I have had the delightful experience of teaching children from all walks of MS. The children of MS have a thirst for knowledge that is rarely discussed in the media. Our children want to learn! I've instructed every grade level from K-8, inclusive, tutored Pre-Alg,Alg I, and admin correspondence courses for s

I believe all children are born with the same amount of human potential. However, I’m disheartened by what I’ve witnessed in Mississippi’s public schools: that many children are failing to read at grade level. They are often “left behind.” My approach to teaching is driven by my belief that all children can learn if given the cognitive stimulation coupled with a nurturing, learning environment. I know that children are eager to know, understand, and discern. I believe teachers should not disseminate facts; instead they should cultivate the desire for knowledge. Nearly everyone who meets me tell me I should be a teacher. I look forward to the day when I am able to teach my own children. Until that day comes, I would like to teach others. My diverse work experiences in the non-profit sector have provided practical, real-world training in helping students reach their full academic potential

I believe that creating a friendly learning environment will ensure a successful year. I am available to help any student that desperately needs help. I am available anytime, day or evening.I had great teachers while in grade school and college that were always willing to go that extra mile for me and I want my students to remember me as a great teacher that will do the same for them.

I'm a recent graduate of Rust College. During my years at college I tutored in subjects as biology, basic math, college algebra,English literature, and also was a co-judge for a local junior high science fair. During the summer of 2009, I did my internship with the Ronald E. McNair program at the University of Mississippi. This program focused mainly on research based studies with a chosen graduate professor. I'm an assertive motivator. Learning should not be repulsive, children love to learn by examples that they can relate to. I find the opportunity to combine the likes and dislikes of the student and mold them into a constructive solution. Using metaphors and similes are more of my specialties. The style is strict, but the concepts are easier. When the task is completed, the student will say I was tough but with a caring aftereffect.

I have tutored elementary students during my tenure in the Air Force on a volunterr basis. I worked as a Introduction to Computers instructor at Keiser College for two semesters. I have a fascination with math and numbers. My extensive experience with budgeting and using spreadsheets and formulas has kept me fresh with my math skills. I recently tutored a 50+ adult to take a math skills test for the CRC. He passed, and was had such a sense of accomplishment, after almost giving up hope that he could pass it. 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 drea

I love teaching and working with children, I believe all children can learn, but in different ways. Each child should be able to feel like they have academic success, even if it is not the same as other students. 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, and I give them 2 or 3 way to get the same answer. I am patient, loving, caring, and devoted. My goal is to help students reach their academic success. I have worked for AmeriCorps for the last 2 years tutoring in Grenada schools, and a few good educators can make a difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a graduate from the University of Phoenix I understand the importants of higher education.

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 am currently a senior at University of Mississippi. I graduate May 08, 2010 with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I have tutored 4th graders at Della Davidson Elementary School in Oxford, MS in Reading and Social Studies. I love interacting with the students and found great reward in doing so.
