More About This Tutor...

As a Delta State University alum, it does my heart joy to be able to give back to my community. While at Delta State, I earned a bachelors degree in Exercise Science and minored in Nutrition. I went on to work as an Abstinence Coordinator for a non-profit organization, Youth Opportunities Unlimited, Incorporated. I taught children and teens various awareness topics. After a year of working with Y.O.U., I was offered a teaching position at the Quitman County Elementary School. I have been there for the past three years. I tutor and hold interventions for all elementary grade level students daily in my vacant time slots. I mainly tutor reading and math.
My teaching style is based on reaching all students through differentiated instruction and being aware of any cultural differences among my students. I believe that creating a friendly learning environment will ensure a successful yea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I absolutely love working with children of all ages. I love to see the end results from working one on one w/ a child at the end of a session. I am very patient, and a firm believer that every child can learn!

I have effective communication skills. I beleive everyone can learn something new, if you can communicate to them in their realm of experience. I always seek ways to reach such realms by giving them a frame of reference or a standard that they can relate to.
I have been a secondary level teacher for 15 years and an elementary teacher for the prior 10 years. I taught in the Chicago Public School system for twenty of those years. I have extensive knowledge in physical and life science. I taught Biology for about 5 years. I am currently working on my second masters in Accounting. I have tutored students for over 25 years in various areas such as reading, mathematics, and statistics.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 students who needed a one-on-one teacher. I obtained my Masters from Mississippi State in 2008. I have experience in the diverse ideologies presented in the educational programs of two of the largest universities in MS. Currently, I am enrolled in undergraduate math and English classes to secure additional course hours so that I may hone my skills in this every changing technical world!
I believe that all children are teachable! Every person, each child, is unique and it is my responsibility to evaluate and determine the most approp ... read more

I'm very much driven to excel in high levels of education. I have earned my bachelor degree, BS in General Studies, and currently working on my masters degree, MBA in Public Administration. I have many skills that includes typing, office work, math, term papers, and some Spanish. With the last ten years I have tutored family members and friends because I thrive to see others succeed and plan to open my own tutoring center once my degree are complete.
I believe everyone is capable of learning. I can get alone with any type of student. I have no preference and can work with special needed students also. I'm patient, easy going, considerate, and sometimes to helpful. I strive to provide the best education for students as well as myself.

More About This Tutor...

As a student, I always tried my hardest and sought out opportunities to work with children in a variety of settings. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and participated in numerous other activities, including Vacation Bible Schools and participating in MECA activities at school. I have taught for one full year in Friars Point, MS where I taught all subjects to a classroom of 19 first graders. I have not done any turtoring, though I often worked with students one-on-one or in small groups to better help them. To complete my degree, I worked in a variety of classrooms and wrote papers on numerous educational topics.
I love working with students and seeing their joy when something finally clicks. I believe learning must be a concrete process with plenty for the students to touch and manipulate in order to succeed. It's impossible for a teacher to use only one st ... read more

Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was heavily involved in volunteering and mentoring in everything from education to community outreach programs. After I received my undergraduate degree, I became a corps member in the 2003 Teach for America corps. As a corps member, I served as a member of a national service corps of outstanding recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit two years to teach in under-resourced urban and rural public schools. After receiving extensive and rigorous training in Teach for America’s summer institute in Houston, I went to the Mississippi Delta to teach tenth grade social studies in Indianola, Mississippi.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 pot ... read more

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 indi ... read more

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. This experience needed a person with an extensive background due to tutoring was required in all subjects. At the Families First Resource Center, ... read more

I have been a teacher for the past five years. I have taught Language Arts and History. For the past two years I have taught 7th and 8th grade, but I have also taught 9th and 5th grade. Outside of my career, I have tutored my own children, currently ages 11 and 9.I have also been an Intervention Coach and tutor. I excell at individual and small group tutoring.
Determining the learning styles of individual students is important to me. I adjust and accomodate my approach based on how students respond and learn. Changing my methods and being creative help me reach students on many levels. I enjoy building on past knowledge, kinesthetic activities, and appealing to students interests.
