Holly B. - Pearl, MS 39208 (35.8 mi) - Literature 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.

Steven S. - Brandon, MS 39042 (38.6 mi) - Literature 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

Travis J. - Clinton, MS 39056 (39.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $27.50/hr.
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'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.

Dianne B - Hazlehurst, MS 39083 (8.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $34.00/hr.
My teaching style totally depends on my student. Every one has a different learning style, and I try to be adaptable. I believe you must create a relaxed and and supportive atmosphere for the learner.
Projecting a sense of confidence in the student goes a long way towards helping him/her achieve his/her educational goal. Lots of time the student has the skills but is not sure enough of himself/herself to proceed.
I am just the prompter. I really enjoy sharing in the learning process and especially relish the moment when the student discovers his ability to learn and achieve. Both of my parents were teachers so education is very important to me.
My experience in teaching ranges from working with elementary children as a teacher's assistant to being an Adult Education Instructor.
I worked with 3rd graders who were low in math and reading for about 3 years. My greatest challenge and

Shaketta T - Jackson, MS 39212 (33.4 mi) - Literature Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Graduating with an English degree provides me with so many opportunities outside of just teaching.

Extensive research writing has increased my grammatical skills and vocabulary. I have tutored elementary and middle school students. I have mentored several high school students with different subjects, but of course English is the primary subject in which I am skilled. I love working with children. I believe children need the opportunity to showcase his/her learning skills outside the classroom. I am very encouraging, patient, easy going, yet firm. My goal is to make sure students are able to maintain what is learned inside and outside the classroom. I will make sure there is progress with your child's academics.

Alisha B - Jackson, MS 39209 (36.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $39.00/hr.
For the last past six years I have enjoyed my students. They never cease to amaze me with all the many things that they can grasp when you try. I was an assistant in JPS. Tutoring was my job. I have also tutored other grades up to fifth. I really enjoy kids and I always wish the best for them. I have also had to be the actual teacher for the remainder of the school year and did grades and end of the school year things due to the teachers' emergency leave. My motto is simple: In all of your getting, get an understanding. I truly belive that every child can learn. Even a child with a disadvantage still comes with an advantage because they are always getting some help. It also depends on the child also. We must both be focused on the task at hand and together we must tackle it until it is thoroughly understood.

Shawanna H - Jackson, MS 39209 (36.1 mi) - Literature Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I have always had a passion for teaching anyone who needed my assistance. I feel that everyone has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind to doing. Over the years, I have also learned that no one learns skills at the same level. Knowing that, I take my time and learn what interests the students that I'm helping and I try to incorporate that skill into teaching him/her. My goal in life is to be able to provide another student with the knowledge and education that my past educators provided for me. Knowing that I've made a difference's in one's life is a lifetime of achievement for me.. I have worked with youth and at-risk youths between the ages of 5-17 for over nine years. During the course of the years, I have tutored students in all required subjects, such as, math, science, reading, and language arts. I have also had the opportunity to work with students with essays fo
