Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Blanchard, OK

I am patient with students and take time to be sure that they are able to comprehend and grasp the information we study together. I am a second year Professional Writing student at the University of Oklahoma studying creative writing and film. I graduated from James Martin High School in June of 2012 as a prestige three-year graduate on the honor roll. While in high school I was a student teacher for the drama department, on our Literary Magazine staff, Newspaper staff, Yearbook staff, and president of the Journalism club.

My teaching style is organized and interactive. I want to understand the student's goals and needs, while they need to understand my goals and commitment toward their success.

Teaching has always been something that I've greatly enjoyed. Whether it was helping a special needs student read, or an undergraduate history student finish a term paper, I appreciate the opportunity to help others achieve academic success. When working with students, I exercise a great deal of patience. I am also a firm believer in allowing students to achieve their potential through hard work. I find the best way to do this is by asking questions that lead the student to the answer. The proverbial "light bulb" that the student reaches when he realizes that he does indeed know the answer is very rewarding for both the teacher and the student. My goal is not only to teach, but help students realize their potential to learn. I began tutoring in high school. I worked at a local day care where I tutored a special needs child. The experience was very rewarding and inspired me to continu

I am graduating in May 2010 with a undergraduate degree in English Education. I have worked in several school districts as tutor, observer, and student teaching. I have personally worked in the following areas: Speech/Drama, English, and Middle school tutoring. I have worked with students in the 6-12 grades. I have also worked with Southern Nazarene University as a Teacher's Assistant. I have worked close with students and teachers to help students become better communicators, especially in a written aspect. I believe my job is not to force the student to learn. I want to create a passion for learning (even if student does not like the subject). Students have to take responsibility for learning. The tutors job is to help students reach full potential.

Even as a kid, I loved to teach and to learn. And one of the most important things that I've learned is that teaching isn't about asking someone to remember facts; instead, it is about giving them tools to help them think so that those facts mean something. My specialties are journalism, social studies, English, computers, and humanities at both the middle school and the high school level and my work is seasoned with insights from traveling the world as a teacher. From Korea to Amsterdam, from Oklahoma to Italy, all students want to learn and I help them discover how they can learn best. I once was called an “eternal pupil” by a fellow teacher; it is easy to see why. After receiving my BS in Business Education I immediately returned to college to earn my MS in Business Education. Since receiving my masters I have completed 127 additional college hours which certified me to teach journal

Graduating Magna Cum Laude from college, I have always been a good student. My goal as a teacher has always been to lead by example. I have spent the last five years continuing my education through any opportunities given to me. I have taught 7th graders to seniors in high school and have learned to teach each group differently. I have always been a teacher who can break down the information to where my students can learn the parts and create the whole. English, American Literature, AP English, and Creative Writing are the subjects I have taught most recently. I currently hold a Bachelors of English Education. I am certified to teach 7th through 12th grade English, Speech, Drama, and Debate. I have spent most summers learning new teaching methods and keeping current with reading trends including Advanced Placement, Great Expectations, Professional Learning Communities, and various writin

I received a B.A. degree from Central Oklahoma University in 1966. My major was English and my minor was Social Studies. I taught English in grades 9-11 for forty years. American Literature (Junior English) is what I taught the most but am qualified to assist students in understanding various literary genre as well as grammar lessons and writing assignments. I retired from teaching and coaching football after the 2006 school year and would enjoy an opportunity to tutor students if I am knowledgeable in their tasks at hand. I taught high school English and coached football for forty years before I retired. The two positions are compatible in that each has talented youngsters who come to school each day excited to learn and improve and those others less capable and seemingly apathetic about the task at hand. My philosophy was always to challenge those brilliant students to avoid complacen

Mentor, coach, educator, and leader. A certified instructor and curriculum developer, I facilitated and administrated a fast-paced seven week program of instruction for advanced workplace leaders.

Flexible and versatile – able to maintain poise under pressure. Demonstrated ability to easily transcend cultural differences.

I believe teaching style depends on the student, and that student's learning style. A key element to determining this is knowing where the student's strengths lie--auditory, visual, or tactile-kinesthetic learning styles require dif

I love helping children achieve their educational goals. I am a firm believer in giving back to our communities through helping children that are struggling academically. My style of teaching in through facilitating and allowing the pupil to engage the thought process. I have an analytical style personality. Therefore, I like to help students discover the processes behind learning new material. I don't believe there are any subjects that are particularly harder than other subjects. I believe in inspiring students to becoming naturally inquisitive about the unknown. As an MBA graduate, I have a level of success in business and business management. I have earned a B.S. in Organizational Management with a minor in Mathematics and an M.B.A. in Organizational Leadership.

I am a one on one person when I teach or tutor. I homeschooled my son for one year before sending him to public school and found that to be quite rewarding. When I tutor a student, I like getting to know the student, their experiences and how their perceptions of topics that they will have to write about in the college arena. The reason is not solely for me to learn the student as an individual and help them specifically, but also to allow the student to learn more about themself so that they inevitably learn how to create definitve theses and write coherently. Before one can write well, they must understand the topics and how they perceive them. As a graduate research assistant working on a creative thesis, I maintain excellent skills in written and oral communication. Throughout all of my work experience, which includes tutoring at college writing centers, private tutoring, and e

From early on in my high school career I understood that passing AP tests could mean graduating from college in 3 years, saving money for grad school, and a chance to get into the professional world sooner. That's exactly what I did. I had to take some summer school and intersession classes, but I endured. All the while I was involved with an organization on campus that worked to educate the student body on a number of environmental issues, worked with volunteers on events and campaigns, and trained my peers to take the same leadership that I did. I am first and foremost a listener. I'm laid back and patient but understand that success on exams and in school does not come to most without hard work and challenging yourself to go out on a limb. I believe that the best way to learn is to make materials apply to you and things going on around you.

As a teacher, my goal is to provide instruction that will aid each student in earning the best possible education. Through my experiences, I have learned that each student has his/her own special way of learning and applying what they have learned. I believe in teaching through creativity and giving each student the freedom to be an individual success. I also believe that students need structure in order to discover and meet their true potentials. I was afforded a wonderful education and was allowed to thrive both academically and creatively, and this is my goal when working with students today. As a graduate of The University of Central Oklahoma, I have been driven to pursue a career in education. I have always loved the academic setting, and recently found that it is where I want my career setting to be. I received my certification through Oklahoma's Alternate Placement Program and hav

My personal philosophy embraces ownership, one of the top ingredients for successful learning. Personal ownership creates a more perceptive learning process. Students will be more willing to maintain their learning as they proceed throughout the year. Another way ownership makes a big academic difference is through motivation. Ownership will also create self-confidence. A good teacher demonstrates faith in their ability to achieve simply by making them part of the process. When asking them ‘what do you think;’ their participation will increase and they will better remember the facts being taught. In conclusion, students with ownership have optimized their academics, productivity, and self-esteem. After obtaining a Masters of Science with a Minor in Education, teaching has become my life pursuit. Even when working for a large Biotech firm, I have tutored for one year in public sch

I currently hold a BA in Psychology with a minor in Business Administration. In previous positions interpersonal, written and verbal communication, diversity, and professional skills have strengthen and will continue to do so; but nothing compared to enriching another’s life by way of education. As a parent, I understand the importance of resolving issues, expanding confidence, promoting individualism, and security within a family unit. I have been substitute teaching for the past 7 years while pursuing ways to broaden my levels of education. It is my goal to incorporate the advantages of book learning with day to day living.
