English grammar was my first academic love. It was my favorite subject in grade school, and the obsession has never waned. To this day, I enjoy discovering and researching various details about the En... glish language. I have done extensive teaching and tutoring in English grammar from discussions of the 8 parts of speech in a general manner to more in-depth study, including ACT English prep. Students enjoy my classes as I make concepts easy to understand and provide practice activities to gain a deep understanding. read more

Hello, my name is Rita. I am from the DEEP southern region of the United States. That's right - Mississippi. I enjoy teaching, studying other languages, and creative writing in my free time. I strong... ly believe in the philosophy of mastery teaching and learning. Simply put, mastery means that I have conveyed the learning target in such a way that the learner is able to replicate my knowledge. I have 29 years of teaching experience in the traditional classroom. I am a highly qualified Mississippi State certified educator, having served learners in private, charter, and public schools. In addition, I have been tutoring and teaching online for about nine years on various platforms. I absolutely love teaching the foundational levels of academic Spanish. I have a lot of fun helping students learn to speak and comprehend Spanish for the first time. And I am always excited to see students' eyes light up when they gain an understanding of certain concepts. My English grammar lessons are just as exciting. If you are struggling with the parts of speech, sentence structure, or other concepts, I can provide the guidance you need. Likewise, if you need help with academic writing or essays that are giving you a headache, I have just a plan for you. I can guide you from the beginning to the end. My lessons are engaging, innovative, and thoughtful of the student! I implement highly effective strategies that engage students and foster their ability to comprehend concepts. In addition to these academic subjects, I also tutor in video production and editing. If want to learn some basic skills to grow in your video production development, I'm happy to help you. I look forward to meeting and working with you!read more
