My comments on tutoring Geography : I have taught advanced geography for many years.

I have retred after 33 years of teaching. 32 years of primarily teaching history or social studies subjects. I also have 15 years of teaching in schools for the deaf, there is some overlap of deaf education and social studies education. I am National Board Certified as a teacher. I am a fluent ASL and Sign Language user.
Prefer to meet one-on-one or small group instruction in a neutral location, such as a library or eatery. I am very flexible to adapt to change to the needs of the student.

I believe most students can succeed if they are taught good studying skills. I teach study skills, organizational skills, and note taking skills. I do not only teach names, dates, and places but I also teach them to learn to be able to retell the narrative which helps them to remember the names, dates and places.
I have a Master of Arts degree in US History. I also teach online for a major online university. This has helped to me to understand what a student needs to know in order to succeed in college today. I believe that most students can do well in History or other subjects if they are taught the subject material and studying skills. In the past, I worked at a school for high school boys who had failed in school or who had trouble with the law. I was able to get them to pass US History and, in many cases, to do very well in class. The study skills they learned were able to hel ... read more

I have served as a substitute teacher in Hayward, CA for 1 1/2 years. I worked as a tutor for Learning & Loving It in San Jose, CA for 3 years. I served as a tutor and teacher of adult education in Loganville, GA for 1 year. I am currently on the substitute teacher roster for the Vicksburg School District, and I have been so for two years.
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.

During my education at Alcorn, I have helped a myriad of my colleagues with papers, historical facts, and a general/detail understanding of a given historical topic. I would routinely do this three to four times a week. This opportunity helped to expand my knowledge and expound the students.
My teaching style is to merge technology, current events, and thought provoking question into one. I related the given subject to the student as best as I can. This makes the subject personal and it makes the information easy to retain.

I have a love for education. This is my gift by teaching others what I have been taught throughout my educational life as well as professional life.

Teaching is one of the most rewarding profession in my opinion.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 character and creative style when interacting with my own pupils. I believe every mind to be a unique phenomenon and should be approached with elastically, catering to the student's particular needs and capabilities. My general modus operandi follows a 'mixed media' format consisting of visual, auditory, and theoretical analysis and application. The pallet of operation actively incorporates both traditional and contemporary style with modern adaptations. Each student possesses an individual well of knowledge that I fervently attempt to help tap.
Much of my institutional voyage was spent in the leviathan web of mathematics. I instinctively operated under such a language as the diffusive pro ... read more

I enjoy teaching children and helping them understand new ideas. As a classroom teacher, I am aware of the significance of determining each child's learning style and working with them in ways that will compliment that style. I am patient, encouraging and considerate. I believe all children can learn and be successful. I want to teach your student the importance of being a life long learner, and show them learning can be exciting.
I have 5 years experience as a classroom teacher, teaching all subjects. I have taught both upper and lower elementary students. In that time I have worked with many students one on one to improve their skills in reading, basic math, language arts, social studies and science. I have helped students develop study skills,and learning and organizational habits to improve their performance in school.

It is my belief that all have the right to receive a thorough and complete education. Children who enter the system at kindergarten should be surrounded by an environment where they can achieve their maximum potential. Their curiosity should be stimulated at a young age, and that along with an organized and developed program, will aid these students in disciplining themselves in whatever subject they study. Reading and writing are the cornerstones of education and should always be emphasized above all else. The purpose of education is to prepare a person for life. As educators, we want to make sure that during these years, students are exposed to all that they need for a foundation on which they will build a meaningful career.

I believe that each child should be treated as a unique individual and should be taught in the same way. The atmosphere of the classroom should be one that supports the emotional, mental, social, and physical being of a child. Children should be educated in their least restrictive environment where proper guidance is given. I will make sure your child is exceeding beyond his or her expectations to become successful.
As a graduate of Mississippi State University, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I had the opportunity to intern in the West Point Public School District where I taught fourth grade and kindergarten. I learned valuable information while teaching that will help me throughout my teaching career such as how to plan and lead effective lessons, how to differentiate instruction, and collaboration to create an creative learning environment.

I love working with children. I am mainly in the Library however, I work with students on a one to one basis. I cater my teaching style to the indivual students (I work with several). I am patient and considerate because I know that what might work for one student might not necessarily work for the next. I cater to the students needs because I am here for the child's success. I believe that our children are our future and go the extra mile to ensure that I do whatever possible to get them there.

My capacity for learning and teaching is unlimited and extensive. I focus more on the students’ cognitive and social skills by making them more attentive and making sure they are able to comprehend the materials that is taught to them.

A Little Bit About Me...

It brings me great joy working with all types of children. Although all children are different, it does not limit each child from learning. I do believe that all children are capable of learning. As an educator it is my job to meet the needs of each and every child who is a part of my classsroom or program. We all are different and learn differently. It is my job to observe and assess each child according to his/her learning style so that I am able to pull the right materials and teach children according to the way he/she may learn.
I have been working with young children since 2005. I started as a pre-school teacher with ages 3-5. For the past five years I have worked as an elementary school Teacher's Assistant.

I am an Tougaloo College gradute, Tougaloo prepared me well for many things that will help me enhance my future. I have a bachelor of science in Chemistry. The time that I spent in Tougaloo College department of Chemistry gave me the tools to comprehend many phases of Chemistry. I have written thesis papers, research papers, and worked in a lab. My field has allowed not to only help others out in chemistry but also many other subjects.
I enjoy the chance to help other students out because I know everyone can be taught anything. When helping others out I like to make sure that the students understands and fully comprehend the lesson. I take my time with each student that I help because I feel that studying should not be rushed.
