Life Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Choctaw, OK

I have been teaching for over 10 years. I am currently a second grade teacher. I tutor during the summers and have students of all ages, including middle school and high school. I believe all children can learn. It takes a special teacher to find out how a child learns and create lessons to engage that learning style. What works for one student doesn't always work for every student. I am a loving and positive teacher by nature. I strive to be a teacher that my students will remember for life, because our time was such a positive impact on their success.

Since I was very young I tutored my brother on many occasions in reading and math. I believe everyone has a gift, and I knew that teaching was that gift for me. For 32 years I spent many hours in the classroom helping children to succeed. Not only was this succeeding in academics, but also in self-esteem as well. I spent time after school tutoring in elementary math and reading. My philosophy includes the fact that every child can succeed. I teach with hands-on learning using all of the senses. I love teaching. Hands-on with visuals and manipulatives. Kids learn by doing and actively engaging themselves in learning. This is a good picture of my teaching style. I love teaching children with a robust flavor of learning. Make it fun, and children usually will remember how they have learned a new skill. I taught fifth grade for many years and was always the testing grade for the

I am a laid-back person, with the desire to help others. I am a believer of Lev Vygotsky and his theory of scaffolding. This style of teaching and learning purposes to challenge children with giving them a task that it too hard to complete alone, but can be easily achieved with assistance. As the children learn, the tasks are graduallyincreases to a higher level to facilitate a higher degree of learning. I have been an informal tutor for various aged children, family members, and peers for at least one year. I have assisted others with general biology, elementary science, life science, chemistry 1, pre-algebra, and algebra 1. I have taken several classes in education, which gave me the necessary skills in order to be a successful tutor. I have a bachelor's degree in Biology, with chemistry from general chemistry 1 through organic chemistry one, several psychology classes, and a have back

I firmly believe that if a subject seems incomprehensible, nine times out of ten it is the professor and NOT the intelligence of the student. Likewise, I believe lack of effort or motivation also play a significant roll when a student performs poorly. My formula for success is simple, we work through the problems together, and repeat until the student can comfortably complete the problem on their own. The only way to learn is to do, you just need someone to show you how. After twelve semesters of college and a wide variety of courses, my college experience has left me with quite the education and still more to come. I am a Senior attending the University of Central Oklahoma pursuing a bachelor in Applied Computer Science. I have taken such a wide variety of courses in the previous six years that I have completed the major requirements for a bachelor degree in General Studies as well. Thi

I have five years experience as a certified early childhood teacher in the state of Oklahoma. I have tutored children from grades pre-k through 12th grade during this time, as well. I have a Master's Degree in Education from UCO. My degree emphasis is in reading. I am trained to diagnose and treat reading disabilities. This education provided me the training and experience to truly make a difference with struggling readers. I, first, test the students and find out their areas of difficulty. I, then, structure my instruction around the individual needs of each student. Teaching is my passion. I believe all children have the ability to learn. It is up to the teacher to find the best approach to helping each individual child. I try to find a way to connect with and truly get to know each one of my students. This enables me to gear my lessons towards their individual learning styles. My inst

I like the one on one aspect of tutoring. I enjoy teaching, but I really like tutoring because I get to know the child and am able to help him/her with his or her specific area of need. I like to make learning fun by playing learning games with the student. I am a Christian and I believe all children are unique and have their own abilities. I believe a child can accomplish anything to the best of their ability if he or she puts his or her all into it. I want to see children succeed and feel confident in who they are as a person. I have had a wide range of teaching experiences. I have taught in the public school as well as private school. I have tutored children from the grades of kindergarten through fourth grade. I have taught overseas as well where the population was mainly Asian students.

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.

I love teaching and am comfortable teaching students of all ages. I've learned from tutoring that each student learns in a different way. The great thing about one-on-one or small groups is that the teaching style can be adapted to what 'clicks' with the student. Some need a big-picture, overview explanation before delving into the details, others need a step-by-step methodology. I believe that every study has the potential to learn if they keep trying and don't become discouraged. Often times, discouragement is the biggest barrier in learning. As a teacher/tutor, I believe patience plays a key role in my success. I'm a natural optimist and hope my positive thinking spills over to the students. I have a bachelor's degree in acturial science and have studied extensively for acturarial exams. My studies have enabled me to master both higher- and lower-level mathematics and statistics.

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 different approaches, but a combination of the three enhances the overall understanding achieved.

Every child has something to contribute to our community if only given the opportunity and tools to do so. Children can learn whether they are visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learners. It's my goal to teach to their strengths and abilities. I am positive, flexible, and eager to teach the skills and knowledge to be successful. With their curiosity they will ask their own questions and I will be there to nurture their discoveries. My goal is to be a motivator and an educator; a mentor and an advocate; a positive force and a guide to better understanding of their surroundings. A caring and knowledgeable educator can make the difference in a child’s future. I will always strive to be the best educator and mentor that I possibly can. As a graduate in Education with a 3.84 grade point, I strive for excellence in everything that I do. I have taken some graduate classes in child psychology an

Teaching, for me, is very therapeutic. I love working with children of all ages. I am very flexible and patient when it comes to tutoring students. With me, a genuine effort to learn goes a long way. My goal is to make difficult concepts easy to understand via visual representation. I am a hard worker and put effort to plan ahead and making my tutoring session very efficient. If for some reason, i do not understand a concept during a session, i will make it my priority to get back with a swift response. Hello, I am a graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelors degree in Chemistry, as well as a minor in Business.

After graduating with a 4.0 from the University of Oklahoma, I began my graduate work in mathematics. As a G.A., I had the experience of teaching and tutoring at the college level. During the past two years, I have taught 10 sections of miscellaneous classes, covering 5 different courses. Over the course of the past two years, I've easily had over a hundred hours of tutoring time. In addition to my two math degrees and minor in religious studies, I also have a good background in music theory, piano, and organ. I play for two separate churches each Sunday and have previously given lessons. Teaching is a means to find a student's misconceptions and correct them. I try to do this by engaging the students in conversation, asking them leading questions, or watching them work. I try to build classroom bonds, making communication easier.
