Class Experience
My private tutoring session will help students that are non-native English speakers converse with a native speaker. You can expect conversation and pronunciation focused lessons. Parents are welcome to request topics, skills, and challenges for their student. I also like to use student's interests in order to assist them in their English language learning journey. The first meeting will review get to know you questions and discuss interests. (Example questions could include: What is your favorite animal? Why? What color do you like?) The following meetings will be used to review and address mistakes made in the first class. I will also use the students hobbies and favorite things to develop weekly lessons. Other topics will include: Days of the Week and Months Meals of the Day Weather Holidays In order to gain students interest, you can expect examples, props, and photographs. Private tutoring sessions available with experienced ESL teacher. I have been teaching English for 3 years both in person and online. I have taught over 6,000 classes for VIPKid and for 3 months in Vietnam. My teaching certificates are the CELTA (Cambridge Certificate for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and State of Mississippi Teacher's License in English. I have a Bachelors degree in English as well.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am Mandy Hornsby, a teacher and librarian from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After nearly 3 years of teaching online, I am excited to begin teaching on the Outschool platform. History, English, reading, travel, and hedgehogs are some of my favorite topics!
In 2007, I completed my Bachelors from the University of Southern Mississippi in English and History. My masters by research came from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland the following year. I spent 2 years working as a librarian in the public library while participating in the alternate route teacher’s program through William Carey University. For the next 6 years, I worked as a school librarian and enjoyed sharing story time with my elementary school students.
I found myself ready for a big change in 2017. That summer, I completed my CELTA (Certificate to Teach English to Speakers of Other Languages) with Cambridge University’s pop up campus in Phoenix, Arizona. Then I traveled to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to teach English in public schools around the city. It was such an eye opening experience and I was sad to cut my adventure short to return home. At this point I did not want to lose my momentum and began teaching for VIPKid.
For over 2 and a half years I get up early to teach English to students in China. I have taught over 6,000 classes with over 2,400 5 apple ratings. I spend my days helping others with historical research requests and genealogy requests at our county’s Local History Department.
In my free time, I enjoy reading and watching Asian dramas. My husband and I enjoy kayak fishing and paddle boarding as well. My personal goal is to travel the world and see as many places as possible. To date, I have visited 20 countries and over 30 U.S. states.
Teaching has been part of my life since working with student support at the University of Southern Mississippi. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of history and English with my students. You can look for primary document drive historical knowledge and a passion for reading in my classes.
I hope to see your student in my virtual classroom soon!
