I first introduce myself and get to know a little about the student I am tutoring. Then, I establish a baseline of what they have learned so that I can direct my attention to their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, I get into the material with the student and show them how and why the material is important and applicable in the world in which we live.

My teaching methods are structured and developed for each individual person. I believe that there are many ways to teach a student. The key to successful teaching is finding out how your student learns; auditory, visual, didactic or with a combination of learning styles. I use a combination of visual and didactic aids in my lectures. I encourage an environment where questions are welcomed. I want students to not just learn the material but understand it as well. I try to make learning fun and relate it to things that they may find interesting. I am a college graduate that has spent the past 8 years working in health and science education and development. During this time I have not only developed educational programs for low literacy and bilingual groups, written grants for government funding for Health educations, but I learned how to educate people of all types of literacy levels.

I earned both my Bachelor's of Arts in English and my Master's of Science in Public Relations from the University of Southern Mississippi. While at USM, I served as the Assistant to the Graduate Reader as a graduate student, where my job was to proof graduate and Ph.D. students' theses and dissertations. This job, in particular, helped me become extremely familiar with APA and MLA formatting, as well as everyday grammar and word usage. I also took a number of education classes while persuing my Bachelor's degree. I realize that, in order for a student to want to learn, the subject must be presented to them in an interesting way. I know I have the ability to make the subject relative to the child in a way that is both easy-to-understand, yet effective. I am extremely patient, enthuastic, and truly love the subject of English. The idea of helping a child who struggles with English or just

Much of my institutional voyage was spent in the leviathan web of mathematics. I instinctively operated under such a language as the diffusive properties came fairly easy, resulting in a BS in Mathematics with a Business and French minor at Mississippi College. My short venture in civil engineering school at Mississippi State University provided me with knowledge in physics and chemistry as well. Although primarily science driven, I continued to delve in all worlds of education. I love literature, art, language, and history as well. This holistic approach equipped me with a broad mind. Studying abroad in London, England and Tours, France certainly impacted me and gave me unique perspectives. Throughout my educational experience, I beheld extraordinary wonders in each mentor I encountered. These professors evinced tremendous skill and articulation that provided me with exemplary ch

For over eight years, I have been privileged to teach hundreds of adult learners through the Hinds Community College Adult Program. While I have taught all 5 subjects; Algebra, Geometry, English, Language Arts and Science, I enjoy Algebra, Geometry and English; specifically essay writing. Academically, I earned both degrees working as a full-time staff person, mother and wife. My passion to teach is driven by my desire to give back to the community and to share knowledge so that others may reach their purposeful goals. Young people need our help in this highly competitive society in which we live and serve. A huge percentage of effective instruction is encouragement. Most students have the inept ability to learn, but often for no reason of their own, are unable to grasp subjects in a traditional setting. I have a passion to empower students, both children and adults, to be all that t

I believe that the logic and rules of math and science subjects allows comprehension for virtually all students. I also understand that people process and learn information differently, therefore I cater my teaching approach to the individual to maximize their learning potential. I find what the student understands and build upon that for greater comprehension. I also try to teach problem solving skills and critical thinking by allowing the student to guide the decisions, redirecting when necessary. Many times students just need the confidence in their abilities in math and science to succeed in those areas. I have experience tutoring and teaching in many different areas. Because of my educational background in Chemical Engineering, I have a very strong foundation in upper level math and sciences. I have tutored students both privately and through a sponsored program at The Univers

I have always had a passion for teaching anyone who needed my assistance. I feel that everyone has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind to doing.

Knowing that, I take my time and learn what interests the students that I'm helping and I try to incorporate that skill into teaching him/her.
