More About This Tutor...

I believe education provides students the opportunity to move forward in society as confident and knowledgeable citizens. It is what I think to be one of the most important elements of an individual's growth and development, and it is so vital that educators create innovative ways to help children become successful citizens in society. My primary focus in education is student success. In order for students to succeed in school teachers must first provide a safe place where students are actively engaged in learning. When students are engaged in the learning process they are motivated to learn and succeed in school.
While working to obtain a degree in Elementary Education at the University of Mississippi, I was able to experience a variety of tutoring and instructional techniques in the K-6 grades. Each semester I was assigned to specific grade levels that allowed me to work wit ... read more

I earned a B. A. in French at The U. of Tennessee & have begun work on a Masters in Linguistics at The U. of Memphis. I have tutored French since 2004, volunteered teaching English, & worked as an English language assistant in a high school in France. My experience has afforded me the opportunity of the responsibilities of preparing French high school students for the required national exam to graduate high school in France by organizing my own lessons in collaboration w/the English teaching staff, helping to prepare students for tests, to speak & write well in a foreign language (discussing many elements of phonetics, vocabulary & grammar), to successfully complete homework assignments, & counseling students on study skills.
I love teaching & working w/ children & adults. I believe that everyone is good at languages because we all use language all the time: whether it is writte ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In tutoring my children, it has become apparent that one on one attention is absolutely necessary not only for children to learn, but also for the instructor to verify understanding and progress made by the student. Necessity the school system alone can not offer a student,while it is the strength of tutoring. Tutoring provides the opportunity to find the right medium to convey information, in the manner most effective for the child or adjust immediately if necessary. This is what makes education so facinating and rewarding to me.
As a native speaker, I offer excellent knowledge of all areas of the French language,and accurate pronunciation which is of particular importance when learning a foreign language. My understanding of the culture can offer the student an added dimention to the learning process. Additionally, the academic world is one I much enjoy and respect as proven by ... read more

In May of 2010, I successfully completed my fourth year of teaching. Each year has been different. The children of today learn in many different ways. There has been a change in learning styles over the course of time. Some children may learn through hands on activities and modeling, while others learn through lecture. Regardless of the learning style, I have learned that it is my job to make learning relevant and meaningful to students.
The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in making personal decisions as well as participates in discussions that affect society. The teacher also helps build a foundation in subject matter to help develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the world through different disciplines.
