A Little Bit About Me...

Watching another person learn has always been fascinating to me. I have always enjoyed teaching others, and I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement within a learning environment. I am willing to try different styles and methods until the expected results are reached.
I am a University of Mississippi graduate, and I have considerable experience in various subject areas. As an undergraduate student, I maintained an overall GPA of 3.5. College classes in which I have participated and received A's include American History I and II, Elementary Statistics,Creative Writing, College Algebra and Anatomy & Physiology I and II. I have privately tutored in reading, writing, grammar and Elementary Statistics.

More About This Tutor...

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

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. While a teacher at Gentry High School, I have developed daily lesson plans coordinated towards the state curriculum framework, helped to organize and implement the first chapter of the National Honor Society, and constructed a chec ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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.

I have always been excited to help others succeed. I have a young daughter myself, so I am very interested in early childhood development. I fully comprehend that there are many different learning styles and am capable of adapting my teaching methods to meet those of you or your child.
I have been out of college, working in the IT industry for about 8 years now. While in college, I tutored fellow students in the school's lab in the subjects of English and Mathematics.

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, a social service agency, I served a tutor for all grades K-12, any subjects necessary.
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 childr ... read more
