I stopped working in the hospitals when my oldest child reached the age of 5, so that I could teach my children at home. The four of them are now grown and successful. I employed many techniques during my time homeschooling them, as between them were exhibited several learning styles. It was a delightful experience.

Steven S. - Brandon, MS 39042 (35.2 mi) - Writing Tutor - $27.50/hr.
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 th

Jessica R. - Purvis, MS 39475 (35.6 mi) - Writing Tutor - $65.00/hr.
All throughout high school I tutored younger kids with homework or specific needs in classes. I'm very flexible and very hands-on with my teaching. As a visual learner, it helps me to have a visual aid whenever I can and I employ that in my teaching. My strategy is to make learning fun for the students. If I can't enjoy what I'm learning, then I won't learn it and as such I strive to make whatever I'm teaching enjoyable for the student.

Holly B. - Pearl, MS 39208 (39.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I have taught a mixture of 9th, 10th, and 11th grade English over the past 4 years. Teaching is a second career for me and is something that I absolutely love! Being able to help children read, comprehend, and prepare their minds for the future is so rewarding. Much of my experience is in the state tested area of English, focusing heavily on grammar and reading comprehension. Reading is a huge past-time of mine and something that I heavily incorporate into my classroom.

Clementine T. - Jackson, MS 39212 (43.4 mi) - Writing Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I am interested in going back to the basics in the teaching of mathematics due to the fact that during my years of working with students I have discovered that the majority of them abhor math because some do not know the times table verbatim which is one of the basics that will obstruct the learning and correct mechanics of solving mathematical problems. I am a really good remedial mathematics teacher. I am a veteran Teacher of Mathematics; I have been affiliated with the Jackson Public Schools District approximately twenty (20) years or more, serving in various positions as a Limited Substitute Teacher in Mathematics (primarily), English and JROTC as well. My field of expertise is prealgebra, algebra I and Geometry. I am also proficient in the teaching of English and Preparatory Writing in which I taught on the college level as an instructor here locally. My 'love-affair' with Mathe

Lucky D. - Jackson, MS 39211 (45.1 mi) - Writing Tutor - $25.00/hr.
I believe sometimes it is the teacher failing not the student. To become a Doctor we don't always have a choice. i was blind in my left eye and completed on a level equal to all other students. Now they call them special needs. I believe in cognitive dissonance is best way of knowing the retention is high. Repetition is not like having the knowledge of the empirical charts in chemistry and memorizing. A scientific method is used to achieve this by chemist.

The child chooses the style. What I mean by this is that every child is different and every one of them learn differently. Teaching on a more personal level
is how to aid the best results. My experience started in my high school years helping my brother and sisters with homework while our mom was working. Presently I am employed at a day care center/ school, were everyday is spent engaged with the kids and their educational needs. I love interacting with the children at work so much so, that the idea of taking on tutoring sounds more so like a new hobby.

I enjoyed working with children, and tried on every ocassion to make learning fun to each student. I realized that every student learn different and work diligently to get on that child level of learning. My absolute goal was to provide the best learning techniques possible and to make the learning process something that they would want to do instead of being required to do. I modified the emotional challenged work from work of other students. Worked as a teacher assistant for 10 years and the office for 5 years. I am use to an educational setting and is familiar with the education process of tutoring children. I have worked with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in preparing them for MCT tests and exit exams. I have tutored in elementary english, math and computer. I am very driven and takes education seriously. During my last five years of employment, I worked in the office and was resp

I am a certified teacher k-12 in visual arts and have been teaching for the last ten years. I have an AA -Aeronautics, BA-Graphic Design, M.Ed.Art and MDiv degree. I have been tasked with improving the reading and writing skills of my students 9th through 12th grade. The majority of children are left brain thinkers and need to be challenged to utilize the right brain to evaluate, analyze, interpret, and understand the meaning of concepts and ideas. Higher level depth of knowledge thinking must employ the elements of the right brain: imagination, creativity, intuition, faith, and innovation, which are all necessary elements in problem solving. My learning style is best related to maximizing cooperation between the child and the parent, child and the tutor, tutor and parent, and the sending agency sponsoring the tutor. Why should I learn this? - is an important question for everyone. W
