My comments on tutoring Writing : In addition to teaching students some great skills to develop their writing, I also teach them how to develop good research habits. Writing papers doesn't have to be like pulling teeth!

I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like.
I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class with a 4.0. While there, I often tutored people in writing and research, as well as serving as a Teaching Assistant for various classes including: Theatre History, Voice for the Actor, and Shakesp ... read more

Helping your student feel good about themselves

My style of teaching is patience, understanding individual needs, and building self confidence in the student. I have taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, ad 4th grade for 10 years in Ascension Parish and St. Tammany Parish. I have taught 12 years as a Reading Interventionist specializing in the Voyager program using small group settings. My plan uses diagnostic tools to determine a starting place for each student to determine needs. I use many types of games, stories, writing practice, flashcards, etc. to enhance the tutoring session and to keep the child engaged in learning. I tutor students in Study skills, writing, spelling, phonics, grammar, basic learning skills, and organizational skills relating to homework (time management).

A Little Bit About Me...

As an international educator, I have taught in many different countries, many different subjects to a wide range of students of all ages. This experience has allowed me to develop a unique perspective and presentation style of materials. My primary focus has been in law and business; particularly, entrepreneurial arts and intellectual property. One must have excellent English language skills and a strong grasp of the social sciences to be successful.
I inspire students to explore their interests and to expand their horizons.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think the most useful tutor emphasizes critical thinking. I have noticed that many students focus on memorization instead of really understanding the processes behind science, math, and foreign languages. I try to focus on how and why things are, rather than just the fact that they are. I believe that this approach provides students with a deep understanding of the material and an ability to problem-solve on their own. They can then develop better comprehension, and tend to be more interested in learning.
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2002 and then worked as a research biologist for two and a half years before returning to school to pursue my master’s degree. I believe that my hands-on scientific experiences combined with my academic background allow me to convey difficult concepts to students. As a researcher and as a student, I have had to put to ... read more
