Competent, energetic, young tutor available.

I'm a junior at Mississippi College with a 3.60 GPA. I major in political science and minor in communications. i have interned at law offices and voluntarily taught civics to elementary students. I am the brother, nephew, and husband of teachers: all of my relatives have given me ample opportunity to be involved in traditional class rooms.
Perfect practice makes perfect. I like to have the student look, listen, then do and teach me; because when you can teach the subject you have truly mastered it.

I am a college graduate that has spent the past 8 years working in health and science education and development. During this time I have not only developed educational programs for low literacy and bilingual groups, written grants for government funding for Health educations, but I learned how to educate people of all types of literacy levels. I have tutored students of all ages in the areas of English, Biology and Health Science.
My teaching methods are structured and developed for each individual person. I believe that there are many ways to teach a student. The key to successful teaching is finding out how your student learns; auditory, visual, didactic or with a combination of learning styles. I use a combination of visual and didactic aids in my lectures. I encourage an environment where questions are welcomed. I want students to not just learn the material but understand ... read more

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.

During my education at Alcorn, I have helped a myriad of my colleagues with papers, historical facts, and a general/detail understanding of a given historical topic. I would routinely do this three to four times a week. This opportunity helped to expand my knowledge and expound the students.
My teaching style is to merge technology, current events, and thought provoking question into one. I related the given subject to the student as best as I can. This makes the subject personal and it makes the information easy to retain.

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.

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

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.

I have worked with youth and at-risk youths between the ages of 5-17 for over nine years. During the course of the years, I have tutored students in all required subjects, such as, math, science, reading, and language arts. I have also had the opportunity to work with students with essays for student council positions held within their high school. Over the last three years, I have also had the opportunity to assist with ABE/GED pre-testing, as well as teaching basic computer skills, character education, and life skills workshops to youths and young adults.
I have always had a passion for teaching anyone who needed my assistance. I feel that everyone has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind to doing. Over the years, I have also learned that no one learns skills at the same level. Knowing that, I take my time and learn what interests the students that I'm helping a ... read more

I love working with children. I believe children need the opportunity to showcase his/her learning skills outside the classroom. I am very encouraging, patient, easy going, yet firm. My goal is to make sure students are able to maintain what is learned inside and outside the classroom. I will make sure there is progress with your child's academics. Teaching inspires me to want to educate everyone. I believe every child has the ability to learn and tutoring/mentoring helps them do so especially if the lesson is not being fully understood in the classroom.
Graduating with an English degree provides me with so many opportunities outside of just teaching. I have experience with teaching others, editing others, work and assisting professors with assignments. I have experience in writing and editing. Extensive research writing has increased my grammatical skills and vocabulary. I have tu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From 1998-2003, I taught English and French at the University of Yaounde. From January 2004 to May 2009, I taught French and English at Pennington Jr. High in Indianola,MS. I spent the current school year with Sunflower County Schools as foreign language coordinator and as from August 2010, I will be working with Jackson Public Schools. I am also a faculty consultant with ETS and Mississippi Virtual Public School.
I prefer a participative and collaborative teaching style. This involves an active participation of the students. My role is limited to that of guide, facilitator, and helper. Instead of telling or giving students the concepts or skills, I help them discover them. This allows for easier comprehension and longer retention.
