Poetry Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vaughan, MS

I prefer inquiry based learning in which I utilize the facilitator and "personal model" methods to help students improve their independence, increase their confidence to explore subjects independently, and show them first hand how to comprehend concepts I've been a tutor for the past 8 years. I started tutoring/teaching as a college student, and I've loved every moment. It's so rewarding to see a student's growth in a subject area. I've provided Praxis and ACT prep to students as well as provided help for subject are state tests such as Biology and U.S. History. I love all math and science related subjects and excel at helping students relate to them.

Published works. I prefer to demonstrate how to understand content. My tactics are deemed personal modeler as a teaching style. I deliver the content through demonstrating it. I act more as a guide or coach and show students how to do the tasks. Student participation as an important part of my lesson plans. Demonstrators often incorporate different learning styles into lessons. I majored in English Literature and Humanities in college before changing majors to Paralegal Studies and minoring in English Literature.

I have been an AP Literature and Composition teacher as well as Twelfth grade Language Arts instructor for over 16 years. I am acutely aware of the needs of students as it relates to mastering reading and writing skills. I have also taught an ACT Prep course for the past 5 years after extensive training at workshops and conferences. I know the importance of identifying weaknesses in reading, writing, and on standardized tests such as the ACT and directing my instruction to those weaknesses. I am especially skilled at targeting writing weaknesses as it relates to both rhetoric and mechanics as I am a practicing writer myself. Though reading ability is gained with much practice, there are practice methods to increase speed and cognition. I differentiate my instruction both in the classroom and individually to work at all writing and reading levels so that maximum benefit is achieved by the

I have earned both a degree in English and a master of business administration. I am currently a CPA examination candidate, and I have passed two sections of the exam. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals, and I have been active in tutoring fellow students in the past few years. Many students I have helped have vastly improved their test scores and understanding of the subject matter. I teach others by first trying to understand the way that person learns best. If I find that one way does not work for that student, I will try a different approach. I have found that many students have an easier time grasping basic understanding by using real life examples to which they can relate. Once a basic understanding is achieved, further learning can begin. I believe it is important for a student to feel they can be honest about their progress and feel comfortable asking questions. I always e

I am a very eccentric individual who enjoys my students both academically and personally. My teaching style involves developing a personal relationship with my students in order to more effectively advance them academically. Once a student becomes comfortable with me, they also embrace the fact that it's ok to be open with me about their strengths and weaknesses. I believe its essential that the learning environment is emotionally safe for students to truely express themselves. As a middle school teacher for Jackson Public Schools, my jobs duties include planning and preparing lessons, grading papers, and preparing report cards. Teaching classes and assessing student’s progress and performance. Providing constructive feedback and guidance to students experiencing educational or personal challenges.

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 discip

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, learn how to work with others as a team player and learn new learning technology is pivitol in order to be successful in life. As a mental health therapist, teaching others life skills and academic skills is my life long mission. 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.

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 and I try to incorporate that skill into teaching him/her. My goal in life is to be able to provide another student with the knowledge and education that my past educators provided for me. Knowing that I've made a difference's in one's life is a lifetime of achievement for me.. 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 fo

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.

This allows for easier comprehension and longer retention.

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.
