More About This Tutor...

I have been in educator for over 10 years. I started teaching because of my volunteer work at the Memphis Literacy Council. I love teaching because I believe that education is the key to our country's future in this global competitive marketplace. We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow because we live in such a dynamic world. I believe that every child can learn regardless of his or her situation. When given enough time on task and effective, instruction all kids learn. This is what I do.

I have always been an educator at heart. As any good teacher knows, all students do not learn in the same way. I believe in teaching using the direct-instruction method and the inquiry-based learning method. I am excited about patiently working with your child so that he can reach his full potential. I will use my experience as a mother and an educator to help your child achieve success.
I am currently a stay-at-home mom looking to re-enter the work force. I have earned both a MS and BS degree in Chemistry which has enabled me to have an understanding in several areas of math and science. In the past, I have taught physical science on the collegiate level, worked in a research laboratory, and substitute taught elementary school. I have also tutored my own children, who are in middle and high school, in math, science, and English.

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!

As a graduate and a formal Memphis City School Teacher. I have achieved excellence in the education field. I have two BS and two Masters. I have worked with Accelerated reading.I have worked with low and high level learners.
As a former teacher, I believe my personal experiences contribute to my philosophy today in that the most meaningful learning takes place when students are motivated and interested. It is my belief that the way to achieve this is by giving students a voice in the learning process, and by assisting them in finding connections in the curriculum with their own life and interests. By allowing students to bring their own stories, experiences, and ideas into the classroom, this provides the students with opportunities to work together, to learn from each other, and respect each others’ differences.

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 students who needed a one-on-one teacher. I obtained my Masters from Mississippi State in 2008. I have experience in the diverse ideologies presented in the educational programs of two of the largest universities in MS. Currently, I am enrolled in undergraduate math and English classes to secure additional course hours so that I may hone my skills in this every changing technical world!

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

At present, I have been teaching basic reading, writing, and math in both private and public school sectors throughout the State of Tennessee since the Fall of 2006. My first formal experience was as an undergraduate Reading and Development coach for recent high school graduates entering junior college. This position consisted of leading two one-hour recitation sessions per week for two groups of 'high needs' students. During these recitations, I answered questions about the material and gave weekly quizzes that I wrote and graded. As a Coach/Tutorer, I have had full responsibility for lecturing, writing and grading midterm exams, and assigning final grades. These teaching experiences as an informal educator, teaching assistant, and a preceptor, honed my skills as an educator and a lecturer. I am confident that I will be able to teach students at all academic levels in various areas of s ... read more

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 degre ... read more

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 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.
