I am a retired, certified teacher who has over twenty-five years teaching experience. I also have twenty-five years tutoring experience, both on my own and at five different schools in Louisiana and Texas. My success as a teacher began when I began teaching. My students won first place in Literary Rally at McNeese State university.

I began with third grade and ended up teaching high school. I have taught and tutored my own granddaughter. Presently, I am home schooling her. When she first began with head start, I tutored her so well that they hardly had to teach her anything. I have also tutored other students in my home. One little boy who was failing when he came to me, won the "Eagle Award" at his school for being the most improved student at his school. Another student who was failing reading came to me and was able to pass from second to third grade, all because I taught her how to read.

Patient and knowledgeable teacher.

To improve spelling, it’s important to learn phonics. Mary helped me to learn suffixes, such as baker is someone who bakes(baker). She also taught me vowel sound in oil or in loud. I also learned about the /oi/ sound, /ou/ sound, the long oo sound spelled ew, and the long oo sound spelled oo. I learned that end in oo sound and circled the word that began with a silent consonant. I wrote pool and made basic words that rhyme with pool. I replaced the first letter in moose to make basic words. I also replaced the last letter in root to make basic words.

My daughter is having some troubles in French and Mary is helping her fine tune the language. I’m quite appreciative of Mary’s dedication to take time to share her expertise.
