My comments on tutoring Earth Science : Do you really need a tutor for this? Read your book!

I have a degree in biology. I was planning on going to medical school at one point so I focused on human anatomy and human physiology. I also took advanced mammalian physiology 1 and 2 for graduate credit. I made A's in all of these courses. I took an aquatic entomology course one summer and decided to focus more on ecology and zoology. I have taken invertebrate zoology, aquatic ecology, environment science, entomology, and other courses.
When you study a biological concept your study process needs to be organized. Most of my tests when I started taking upper level courses covered over at least 100 to 200 pages in the textbook. You need to learn how to break it down in to smaller sections while using your notes from class to predict the most important information to know thoroughly for your next test. The ability to predict what will be on your test is what separates A from C stude ... read more

My name is Kary Heath. I graduated valedictorian from Luther High School in the spring of 2014. I am in my second semester at the University of Oklahoma and currently have 38 hours of college credit. I am currently maintaining a 4.0. I am an education major.

Every child can learn, but they don't all learn the same way

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.

More About This Tutor...

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 fo ... read more

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. M ... read more

Due to my changing Majors as a junior, I received a Bachelors Degree with a double major, Biology and Education. My Minor was in English. I was pleasantly surprised when my Certificate in Oklahoma qualified me to teach seventeen fields. I have had the privilege of teaching nearly every discipline at the grade levels of seventh thru twelfth. In addition the District selected me to train to work with at risk students. One of my many assignments was in school suspension that required tutoring those students in the completion of their studies.
I enjoy working with students of all levels. I have a patient easy going nature and feel the only dumb question is the one not asked. My goals are to enable the student to not only master the subject matter but to incorporate that knowledge and be able to relate it to other disciplines. I always taught a section in the classroom on how to study e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 hav ... read more

I use lots of examples from real life. Depending on the type of problem I use models, graphics, very commonly i use simple drawings. I always show my students some sample problems and solutions so that it would give them a good start to think.
I am so passionate for teaching and I have all the skills a successful teacher is supposed to have. I am very committed and patient. I will take the different paths and use the different teaching techniques until the student realizes the concepts. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture and two Master’s degree (one in Forestry and the other in Geology). I have been in the Biology stream for my Diploma with Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology as my major courses. I have been a Teaching Assistant at the University of Oklahoma for two semesters and enjoyed my teaching experience a lot. I am a teacher who would go the extra mile to achieve ... read more

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. Once the students feel comfortable, it is e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a native French and English speaker with a bachelor degree in Business Administration with specialization in Information Systems. I graduated first of my class with a perfect GPA, summa cum laude. As a member of the honors program, I had to do a lot of researches and presentations at public events. It made be feel good to see that I could educate people with the findings in my researches. I tutored math to some high school students after I graduated high school. I tutored math, accounting, French, and other subjects to my friends while I was in college. I was thinking of pursing a career in academia but I want to teach more and see how it goes. I like to see people succeeded due to my help. Their success is my success.
My teaching style is in form of participation. I like my students to be part of the lessons. I believe teaching (or education) is not a one person show. The bes ... read more

While studying at the University of Oklahoma, I became interested in tutoring and helping those less fortunate. I began tutoring at a program called Tuesday Tutors which provides free-of-charge tutoring to all students Junior High level and above (although we often helped out Elementary students who stopped by). I also became active in ESL/Literacy tutoring. I tutored ESL for 7 months prior to graduating. I have now graduated with three Bachelor degrees and am now seeking a Master's in Philosophy. I still tutor whenever I get the chance and am currently helping an ADHD/Dyslexic student to boost his reading level.
I generally try to remain as friendly as possible with the tutee so that he/she can relax and learn in a comfortable environment. I work on a first-name basis and try to make sure that the student is LEARNING, rather than merely finishing his/her homework. I teach u ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

More About This Tutor...

As a Physics major I have a deep understanding of both mathematics and multiple fields of science. During my time as both a high school and college student I have tutored privately in subjects such as: Physics I and II; College Algebra, Calculus I, II and III; Differential Equations and many more upper-level physics and math courses. I have recently passed the Advanced Mathematics (11) Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) with a score of 295, with a maximum possible score of 300.
Although I am advanced as far as the subject areas I would be tutoring in are concerned, I am still able to present the content to the student in the unique way that they are able to understand it. This is important, since no two students think alike and, in my experience, a majority of students do have trouble with math and math-intensive sciences such as physics. But even though I am more comfortable wi ... read more
