I love to learn, and love passing that on to others. I am a patient personality, and I may present a problem to a student to evaluate where they are. From there, we can go either backwards or to more advanced work. Education is very important for myself and for my children, and I like to instill that learning takes you further in life than where someone may have not even dreamed. I am amazed at seeing cashiers who can't make simple change, or someone who can't calculate a small percentage in their head, such as 10% of a number. I want children to learn and have a feel-good attitude with their accomplishments. I have tutored elementary students during my tenure in the Air Force on a volunterr basis. I worked as a Introduction to Computers instructor at Keiser College for two semesters. I have a fascination with math and numbers. My extensive experience with budgeting and using spr

Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was heavily involved in volunteering and mentoring in everything from education to community outreach programs. After I received my undergraduate degree, I became a corps member in the 2003 Teach for America corps. As a corps member, I served as a member of a national service corps of outstanding recent college graduates of all academic majors who commit two years to teach in under-resourced urban and rural public schools. After receiving extensive and rigorous training in Teach for America’s summer institute in Houston, I went to the Mississippi Delta to teach tenth grade social studies in Indianola, Mississippi. While a teacher at Gentry High School, I have developed daily lesson plans coordinated towards the state curriculum framework, helped to organize and implement the first chapter of the National Honor Society, and constructed a chec

I believe that all children are teachable! Every person, each child, is unique and it is my responsibility to evaluate and determine the most appropriate learning style of each student. When students are instructed in their preferred learning styles, they flouish! A good, quality educator takes time to accomodate each students weaknesses and talents. Everyone excels at something! It is my role as a teacher to find that spark of excellence and build upon it. I am capable of making a positive impact on a child's life. That's my goal! Since my graduation from Ole Miss in 1985, I have had the delightful experience of teaching children from all walks of MS. The children of MS have a thirst for knowledge that is rarely discussed in the media. Our children want to learn! I've instructed every grade level from K-8, inclusive, tutored Pre-Alg,Alg I, and admin correspondence courses for s

I have discovered that every students is capable of achieving greatness if someone will take the time and effort to learn their learning style. I pride myself in being able to break things down to the most basic levels if necessary in order to reach a student. Often you have to know a child's personality, background, and home life in order to understand what he or she relates to. I don't believe in teaching a subject, I believe in teaching a student. I also do not believe in giving up. If the first method doesn't work then we will continue to try until something clicks and that child grasps the material and excels at it. I have a BA in History/English from the University of Mississippi. I have been a teacher for the past year in Tate County Mississippi. This experience has allowed me to develop a teaching style to reach all types of learners. I have also been a tutor in English on a

I am a results-driven educator with 20+ years of training, facilitating, designing creative presentations, and creating innovative learning experiences for all types of learners. My goal is to teach a concept and then bridge the gap between this concept and its application to real-life experiences! I can help the learner understand how individual concepts fit into the "big picture." Although my specialties are Math and computer applications, I have both taught and tutored all subjects including the Sciences and English. I have taught and tutored K - 12; and I have taught career college. I can definitely make the connection between current learning and future goals! I wholeheartedly embrace the fact that everyone learns in different ways. I love the fact that there are all types of learners who make up our world! I am dedicated to ensuring the success of every learner. My teaching styl

I believe all children can achieve success in the learning environment. I believe in using hands on materials and helping them use critical thinking schools. I also believe in children working on teams to create a product. I use differentiated instruction to help achieve these goals. I want to prepare children for the real world and provide these type of experiences. I believe all children can become productive citizens. As a graduate with a master's degree in education, I have had the desire to keep up with current trends in education. I am motivated to learn and use my knowledge to assist others. I have earned two masters degrees, in education and administration, which have provided me with valuable experiences and understanding in different areas. I have learned how to help all students become successful in the learning environment through these experiences especially in reading and

As a Chemical Engineer I have a diverse set of skills upon which to draw upon for a variety of subjects. As a substitute teacher, I have been called upon to engage students on a one-on-one basis in the classroom at both the middle and high school level. I know first hand that most students just need a little more coaching outside the classroom to raise their level of excellence. I college I tutored my fraternal brothers in chemistry, free of charge. Science and math would be my preferred courses. As a Quality Engineer I tutored and trained my auditors in the audit fundamentals for over a decade. I am also a poet and an inspirational and motivational speaker. I have written poems for my coworkers for twenty years at my employer. I would say that my style of teaching is creative. I stress the fundamentals, making sure of the foundation, but remain creative in the approach that reache

Science and math is best taught using self discovery and inquiry. I use these methods extensively. Patience is necessary as you first model, then assist, and finally use practice so the student gains fluency in the skill. I plan lessons around individual learning style and ability. Tough love is needed so a student will reach potential as is recognition of progress. I used my tecnical skills in the real world for 35 years. Hence I bring real world applications that are relevant and familiar to the student. This experience gives me a large portfolio of examples and approaches to explain what are often abstract concepts. Finally, the use of humor and today's digital tools help connect the student to the subject. I retired from a technical/executive career in the chemical industry. My last position was as VP of Operations and Innovation. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, some gr

Teaching, in my opinion, is a matter of patience. Each child can learn a skill, though the amount of time it takes to learn that skill may vary from child to child. Some children simply need a few more extra hours per week to pick up the essential skills they will need to be successful in life. Education is so very, very important. My belief is that each child can succeed in life if they are taught that school and learning are both fun and important. I hope to instill that belief in every child. I have enjoyed working with children for a long time. In high school, I volunteered at a Summer Reading Academy for elementary school students. I have a bachelor degree from the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Linguistics and Computer Science. One summer, my internship was working at a Teach For America training campus. I will obtain my master degree in b

I love helping people. I feel that a student can always teach a student better than a teacher. Their teaching style is a lot forgiving and the student is less intimidated knowing that someone else has been where he/she is currently. It also takes a great deal of patience to teach someone something and a forgiving nature. I excel at both of those. As a high school student, I excelled at my schoolwork. I was retained as a tutor for middle school students in math and science subjects. When I entered college, my major in engineering has required that I take a lot of upper level math and science courses. These rigorous courses have strengthened my math and science skills. I am very well versed from algebra all the way to Calculus two.

I began tutoring my peers in middle school for Algebra I and continued for years. I graduated from high school with an honors diploma, with recognition from the National Honor Society as well as Mu Alpha Theta National Mathematics Honor Society.

As a Special Educator I live off believing that all students can learn something. All students can achieve at something. I believe in support from others because I am no miracle worker, but I believe in support, repetion and dedication in learning. I am a hands on teacher. I use many approaches that will support the learning style of the student. I relate a lot of " real world" senarios to my teaching to help correlate the lesson. I also believe that if a student has the heart to achieve as I have to give him what he needs to achieve, then both of us are going to meet our goal of achievement. I am currently a Special Education teacher with Memphis City Schools. I have taught Pre-K through High School for over 15 years.

I am passionate about teaching and working with children. I believe no child is unable to learn. I believe in using creative and innovative teaching techniques to engage children in their learning process. It is my belief that if you relate the subject matter to their everyday life and activities it causes them to become excited about learning & makes them accountable for their own education. I feel as an educator it is my responsibility to provide a learning environment that fosters learning. As a Lane College Graduate & the daughter of a schoolteacher education has always been of the utmost importance to me. I was always driven to attain a high level of academic excellence. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Biology which has enabled me to gain an understanding of the analytical & logical thinking processes involved in math & science.
