Shaurita H. - Canton, MS 39046 (24.9 mi) - Composition Tutor - $62.50/hr.
I've been a tutor for the past 8 years. I started tutoring/teaching as a college student, and I've loved every moment. It's so rewarding to see a student's growth in a subject area. I've provided Praxis and ACT prep to students as well as provided help for subject are state tests such as Biology and U.S. History. I love all math and science related subjects and excel at helping students relate to them. I prefer inquiry based learning in which I utilize the facilitator and "personal model" methods to help students improve their independence, increase their confidence to explore subjects independently, and show them first hand how to comprehend concepts

I have taught middle grades from 1998-2003. I have taught special education to special adults from 2003-2011. In this last teaching job, I had a few individuals who I helped with some classes of the GED through the Rankin County Schools.

Lucky D. - Jackson, MS 39211 (41 mi) - Composition Tutor - $25.00/hr.
Executor of Mississippi Republican Advocate group for President Bush; Elected Mississippi Insurance Commissioner for Republicans Studied under teacher and author Dr. Sansing @ Ole Miss. I worked as an Insurance Broker for 20+ years as a Lloyd's of London. My expertise @ Ole Miss was additional graduate level Aquatic Microbiology. This is about the "Clean Water Act" and Environmental pollution. During K-12 I was a quarterback in football, gymnastics instructor, A.A.U. diving and swimmer state level 10+ and held a record in the breaststroke and high board diving. Watermelon was or favorite energy boost back then and still is to me. I was raised in Jackson, Mississippi in the public school system. I experienced the school desegregation. I listen to the teacher and attended all my classes. It was that or dropping out. I made it! I believe sometimes it is the teacher failing not the student.

amy m - madison, MS 39110 (34.7 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I teach others by first trying to understand the way that person learns best. If I find that one way does not work for that student, I will try a different approach. I have found that many students have an easier time grasping basic understanding by using real life examples to which they can relate. Once a basic understanding is achieved, further learning can begin. I believe it is important for a student to feel they can be honest about their progress and feel comfortable asking questions. I always encourage students when they are on the right track in order to promote self confidence. When students feel smart they are encouraged to reach greater learning levels. I have earned both a degree in English and a master of business administration. I am currently a CPA examination candidate, and I have passed two sections of the exam. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals, and I have been

LOY T - BRANDON, MS 39047 (35.2 mi) - Composition Tutor - $36.50/hr.
When I have "tutored" fellow colleagues and students in the past, I have learned that one must be creative in their teaching so that every person can learn in their own way. Creativity is the key to helping a person understand, even playful games have their place in teaching. I have always been a team player and have excellent interpersonal skills. Also, I will be taking the Praxis I tomorrow in preparation of teaching in the fall.
*(In the above question on years of experience, the "20" years are of teaching/tutoring of colleagues and fellow students, not tutoring in a formal sense.) Through several college degrees, I have taken extra courses in English; I have enjoyed learning the correct way of writing, proper grammar usage, and how sentences are successfully crafted. The area of "words" fascinate me, and I have continued improving my knowledge of the English language over the ye
