I work with students on a hands on, personalized instructional manner. I teach study skills as well as subject knowledge.
I have worked with children throughout college, both in academic and nonacademic settings. I worked on a family literacy program at the Mississippi Childrens Museum, called Planting the Seeds to Read, which entailed teaching children literacy skills and coaching parents in literacy strategies for home. I teach at Canton Young Filmmakers Workshops every summer.

My comments on tutoring Elementary : Earned Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education from University of Memphis in 1991. Taught in preschool from 1992 until 1993 in Concord, CA. Taught my own children from Kindergarten through 12th grade.

My teaching style includes more than one style because different children learn in different ways. For example, a child may learn by doing(I would use the demonstration-performance method). Another may be an auditory learner where I would use the lecture method, on a child's age level of course. While a different child may be a visual learner and in that case I would use many visual aids as well as do a lot of independent reading. Without testing, I would not know the child's exact learning style and therefore, would employ all three teaching methods/styles so as to maximize the learning experience.
After graduating from University of Memphis, I moved to California and taught in a Montessori preschool until beginning my own family. To be able to work at home, I managed a small 24 unit apartment complex for 4 years. After my third child, I began homeschooling my own children in gra ... read more

I will help improve your child's grades or your money back

I prefer to figure out how the student learns the best personally, whether through just hearing it or being shown examples and anything and everything in-between. I want to teach students how to not only memorize the material but actually understand the material so they will be able to use that as building blocks forward in their education.
I'm currently attending Jones County Junior College through online classes. I will be attending Hinds Community College in the spring of 2012. I have a 28 on the ACT including a 33 in reading, 28 in english and math, and 26 in science. I at tented East Rankin Academy in Pelahatchie, MS. I was selected to multiple academic competions such as the ABC testing and Quiz and Science bowl

Elementary is one of my top subjects!

My experience started in my high school years helping my brother and sisters with homework while our mom was working. Presently I am employed at a day care center/ school, were everyday is spent engaged with the kids and their educational needs. I love interacting with the children at work so much so, that the idea of taking on tutoring sounds more so like a new hobby.
The child chooses the style. What I mean by this is that every child is different and every one of them learn differently. Teaching on a more personal level is how to aid the best results.

A Little Bit About Me...

I've been a pharmacist for 21 years. During that time, I tutored several students in algebra, general chemistry and organic chemistry. I enjoy teaching and find the results very rewarding. I also tutor my children, on occasion, which is usually a learning experience for everyone involved! I prefer to tutor high school sciences, pre-algebra and college prep classes for general chemistry and organic chemistry.&

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

Following my graduation from USM, I had many experiences teaching a variety of children from many cultures. Having taught in a DODDS school in Karlsruhe, Germany I was exposed to the German way of teaching. My first year of teaching was in an inner city school thar offered many challengs. I believe my experience teaching children from diverse backgrounds prepared me to handle any situation in the teaching environment.
I love children and I love teaching them. I believe in an individualized style of teaching that caters to a child's individual needs. Because I love teaching, I am a patient and caring teacher. I believe every child can learn, and implement a way of learning around that belief. I like to make a difference and "see the light come on". When it does, I know I have done my job.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for education. I desire to see others succeed holistically in their life not just academically. I have a degree in business with several years in management. I also am seeking my education certification through the alternate route process. I have 4 years of volunteer tutoring service working with K-5th grade in all subjects. I enjoy reading and writing along with math. I believe every child can learn and is smart.
I do understand that from my years of tutoring that each child has to be taught differently. In my tutoring session, I have to be creative hands on with some of the students so they can visually see and understand the objective.

A Little Bit About Me...

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. It was there when I got the most of my experience in classroom management and actually how to teach all children with different learning styles. I worked with grades second, pre-K, fifth, and first. I just recently graduated from Jackson State Unversity and I am currently teaching for HCHRA-Project Head Start. My classroom consists of 3, 4, and 5 year olds. I love working with elementary level aged children because it allows me the chance to help perpare them for the cahllenges ahead.
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 ... read more
