Jessica
Certified Tutor
我是一个毕业于密西西比州University where I received my BA in Communications and my MA in Secondary Education. I also continued for 18 additional Graduate hours in English. I have been teaching students for 11 years and it is my passion to help them grasp the understanding of the content they struggle with.
I have experience working with struggling elementary readers and teaching junior high ELA, but the majority of my experience has been in High School and College level English. I have taught sections of English IV for 7 years, English III for 6 years, Comp I and II for 2 years, ACT Prep for English and Reading for 4 years, College Literacy for 1 year, and Theatre I-IV for 10 years. In addition to these courses, I am also certified to teach Public Speaking and writing courses.
In addition to teaching in the public school system for the past decade, I have also worked adjunct at the local community college as a dual credit English instructor and the director of the theatre in the Fine Arts Department. I have been working with college students and adults by teaching and directing them for 7 years, so there is no age I am uncomfortable guiding.
At home, I have a 4 year old that is starting school in the fall, and a 1 year old that tries to copy everything his older sister does. My kids have taught me how to teach and talk to not only older students, but kids that have no school experience as well.

I am a theatre person at heart and enjoy both directing and acting in plays and musicals. I have been acting in theatrical shows for 25 years, so I feel like I know the ins and outs of the whole topic. My outgoing personality benefits me in the classroom as I treat every lesson as a performance; if I can keep the students entertained, I can keep their attention! I am an avid book reader, even though I teach novels and short stories daily. I can usually be found reading (or re-reading) a different book every couple of days and I always have one on me if I catch myself with downtime.
