Steven S. - Brandon, MS 39042 (13.4 mi) - Composition 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

Holly B. - Pearl, MS 39208 (18.7 mi) - Composition 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.

Shelley P. - Morton, MS 39117 (19.6 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have taught middle grades from 1998-2003. I have taught special education to special adults from 2003-2011. In this last teaching job, I had a few individuals who I helped with some classes of the GED through the Rankin County Schools. I love teaching kids and adults and love working to see each one of them grow in their own way.
Each person learns in a different way and it takes special people to work with them.

Kristian M. - Jackson, MS 39206 (25.8 mi) - Composition Tutor - $32.50/hr.
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'm a junior at Mississippi College with a 3.60 GPA. I major in political science and minor in communications. i have interned at law offices and voluntarily taught civics to elementary students. I am the brother, nephew, and husband of teachers: all of my relatives have given me ample opportunity to be involved in traditional class rooms. Perfect practice makes perfect. I like to have the student look, listen, then do and teach me; because when you can teach the subject you have truly mastered it.

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. 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

Sherry B - Brandon, MS 39042 (15.3 mi) - Composition Tutor - $37.00/hr.
A love of education evidenced by two earned bachelor degrees in Music and Journalism and a mater's degree in Speech-Language Pathology coupled with a love of people are two main ingredients for success in education. I have 4 years experience (profit and non-profit) teaching clarinet to middle and high school students in school and church settings. I am also a proficient technical writer and have provided instruction in report writing to graduate clinicians in my role as a speech pathologist. Because I have worked with age groups from middle school to geriatrics, I have developed patience and an ability to detect and utilize strengths. I am passionate about everything I do and make a personal investment in each student.
