More About This Tutor...

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.

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.&

I have over 18 years helping students academically. In the Jackson Public School District I initiated an after school tutorial program to help student who were falling behind in reading math and language arts. As the Accelerated Reading Assistant in the library I was able to use the program to help students to progressively become fluent readers. From this experience starting in 2002-2005 I began offering offer tutorial services to parents on weekend which many accepted for a small fee.

My 20+ years of working have given me the opportunity to gain experience in the following industries: public accounting, non-profit education, telecommunications, legal and banking. Some of the skills that I have acquired include: general accounting, auditing and taxes, budgeting, financial analyses and financial modeling. I also have directed my church choir for the past 20 years.
Even though teaching is not my profession, I enjoy working with individuals and seeing them learn new concepts. I am easy going, calm and patient. My goal is to make learning enjoyable and create a desire to learn more. All students can learn if given the proper tools and environment.

Experienced elementary school teacher

I have taught first through third grades for many years. Most of my experience is with elementary students. I now work with principals and teachers across the state to improve classroom instruction. I have also worked specifically with third graders to prepare them for the State Test. Each summer I am involved with the Read to Succeed camp where I work with students who have not passed the third grade end of the year test. The students retake the test after our camp and the vast majority pass and are promoted to the fourth grade. My schedule is very flexible.
I believe the first step in academic success is building self esteem and confidence. Learning should be engaging and fun. My students come to enjoy learning and gaining confidence as they grow and become better readers.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Social Studies : 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.

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 grades K-12th grade and have for the last 10 years. I plan to continue until all have graduated.
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 therefo ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My lifelong goal is to impart knowledge to students in a creative and innovative way. I have a passion to help all children succeed and reach their full potential. I believe all children can learn, but every child has a different learning style. I believe children learn in environments that are comfortable, caring,safe,and nurturing. I also believe that children learn better when they build a relationship with the teacher/tutor. I am a very caring, considerate, and passionate person. I strive to help children be all that they can be. I am a firm believer that children learn better through making the subject material relevant to everyday life. As an educator it is my duty to make sure that children are reached and no one is left behind.

I am always someone who finishes what he starts. Since 1995, I always wanted to be an accountant as well as becoming certified CPA. I have 2 years experience in auditing from bankplus, and a year with the Ms Emergency Management Agency. I also have experience as a financial analyst.

As we continue learning in the 21st century it is obvious how cutting edge technology, child’s learning style, and a child’s personality temperament all play a role in a child’s success in their success in life. Gaining or not developing these skills will ultimately influence their ability to graduate or not graduate from a good college and be a successful person in society. My job as your child's tutor is to be technology savvy, the ability to teach your child emotional intelligence through social modeling, identifying your child’s learning style and implement age and developmentally appropriate learning strategies that will help guide your child in their lifelong journey of learning.
As a graduate in Counselor Education from a Private Christian University it has been my observation that the ability to grasp new concepts, possess moral values, developing emotional intelligence, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with children and teaching children because I believe each child has his/her own uniqueness about them. I am not a pencil and paper educator. I believe the most creative mind is discovered through hands on activities and using manipulatives and other resources to help a child learn basic skills to reading and mathematics. I am patient, understanding, and considerate of each child's individual needs. I also believe that it takes a village to raise a child and we need more dedicated educators to help build a successful future for our babies.
I have a Political Science degree from Lousiana State University and I had planned to use that degree to get into Law School.
