Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects! 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

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
I work with students on a hands on, personalized instructional manner. I teach study skills as well as subject knowledge.

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

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 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.
