Reading Comprehension Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Perkinston, MS

Reading is one of my all-time favorite things to do!! I can't get enough of reading! I have been reading all types of material since I learned how to read in Kindergarten! With reading, comes knowledge. With knowledge, comes power! Reading skills only get better the more one practices it! I taught English for a few years and really enjoyed teaching the students about the world of writing. I specialized in the four types of writing: Narrative, Descriptive, Expository, and Persuasive. I also strongly believe in developing strong grammar skills because they comprise well written wrting pieces. Once a student feels confident in his/her writing and speaking skills, the sky becomes the limit.

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

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.

Students learn best when they are engaged in an environment where they feel confident to express their individual personalities. Creating a community of learners in a classroom from the very first day of school is a key element to a positive learning environment. A mutual respect between the teacher and the students needs to be established and maintained throughout the school year. Learning requires an environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, sharing opinions, expressing areas of confusion, providing assistance to others, and communicating in a positive manner. When children know and feel that the classroom is a safe environment to express ideas and thoughts without fear of negative criticism their learning will flourish. I just enrolled in a Post-Masters Certification program that focuses in Literacy K-12. In August of 2006, I graduated from Lesley University with a Ma

I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2006 wiht a degree in Psychology. While attending USM I taught a combined class Of 3rd And 4th grades. for the past 16 years I have tutor Reading, Math, History, and basic science to children in my family and community. I also substitute teach for 3 school districts. I believe a child can learn any subject put before him/her. With the belief that a child can learn, it is my challenge to find out what style of learning best fits each child being tutored. When teaching I take the time to present materials one way, and if the student doesn't comprhend I will present it another way. My goal is to help each student meet his or her potential.

I believe that all children should learn no matter what their ability or disability may be. There should be passionate teachers in the field to be able to take on the responsibility of helping children reach their full potential. As an educator, I nurture my students and provide an emotionally, stable atmosphere while maintaining high expectations for all. My goal is to instill the love and passion of learning in every student that I teach. I do not want to touch one life; I want to touch the life of every child that walks through my classroom door.
