I grew up in Spain as my parents were career missionaries. From the time I was young, I have enjoyed teaching and have done it whenever I could. In 13, I taught my younger brother to read. All during high school, I tutored students. When I went to college, my part-time job was to be the assistant to the Spanish professor and to teach in the language lab. I taught for many years in schools overseas, in Nicaragua and Spain. In the U.S. I taught Spanish for 2 years in Piney Woods and 3 years at Clinton High 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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated cum laude from Jackson State University. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in mass comm/english literature. I have developed extensive grammatical and writing skills by doing research papers for myself as well as assisting fellow peers and other students who had a need for a writer. During the last three years I have tutored and taught education in my church for the purposes of uplifting the educational ministry.
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. I am easy going, patient and considerate of others. I don't beleieve in the verbage "slow learners", we all can learn if taught appropriately. Teaching is one of the most rewarding profession in my opinion.

As a Tougaloo graduate and being a tutor over the years has provided an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children. I have always been involved in giving back to my community as well and to serve is indeed important to making a difference. I have gained a closer perspective on the trials children now face and how a mentor like myself, affects the lives of many by fostering insight, identifying needed knowledge, and expanding growth opportunities.
I have always had a passion to help all children. I believe I can help them discover things they did not know about themselves whether it be personal experience or not, but discovering the possibilities an education is great success! My personal goals and expectations for the upcoming year are to facilitate personal growth by sharing knowledge I have gained the previous year. I also want to challenge my mentees to ... read more

For the last past six years I have enjoyed my students. They never cease to amaze me with all the many things that they can grasp when you try. I was an assistant in JPS. Tutoring was my job. I have also tutored other grades up to fifth. I really enjoy kids and I always wish the best for them. I have also had to be the actual teacher for the remainder of the school year and did grades and end of the school year things due to the teachers' emergency leave.
My motto is simple: In all of your getting, get an understanding. I truly belive that every child can learn. Even a child with a disadvantage still comes with an advantage because they are always getting some help. It also depends on the child also. We must both be focused on the task at hand and together we must tackle it until it is thoroughly understood.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

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
