Affordable English and Writing Tutor

I love learning, and consider myself a life-long student, even as I study to become a teacher myself. Teaching students about what I love to study is necessary and productive to my own understanding of concepts. I am a firm believer that students also teach through the process of creating a learning atmosphere that not only prepares students, but makes better teachers as well. With over 7 years in work experience, I am a dedicated, productive student and worker that will ensure that each and every student I tutor is satisfied with the help I provide. If they aren't satisfied, instead of quitting on a student, I want to make sure that I make myself a better tutor for students. I aim to be relatable, open to questions, and love to create dialogue between myself and students to best accommodate their needs. As a tutor, I aim to teach students through easy-to-understand, accessible communica ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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. I chose to pursue education because a large portion of my immediate family is teachers, including my parents and several of my aunts, uncles and grandparents. I graduated with an ACT score of 34, which awarded me the State Regents' Scholarship. I was also a National Merit Qualifier with a PSAT score of 204 in 2013. I love to help others learn, and have a wide variety of areas I can help with.

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.

Literature is one of my top subjects! I have a bachelor's degree in Literary and Cultural Studies.

My main goal is to help my students become more confident in their own abilities to learn material, improve skills, and express their ideas. I will not give anyone all the answers, and I will not do all the work for anyone, but I will help anyone to achieve his or her goals by providing the tools for success. I will never simply say that something is incorrect without explaining why. I try to center my students' interests in fun activities to make learning more exciting. If I can turn something into a game, I will!
I graduated with honors from the University of Oklahoma in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in English Literary and Cultural Studies and a minor in Spanish. I have taught ESL conversation classes for almost three years now, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (also at OU). I have helped many people with over 100 e ... read more

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 ... read more

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 c ... read more

As a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, I began my teaching career in mathematics at the junior high school level. I taught Algebra I to eighth graders. While teaching, I returned to school and received my M.Ed as a Reading Specialist. After working in that area for a few years, I became an inner city high school principal. I remained in that capacity for approximately twenty years. I was searching for a new challenge and joined the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to administer an AmeriCorp grant called Smart Start for Brain Gain 2010. In that capacity I worked with colleges and public schools throughout Oklahoma to develop tutoring and mentoring programs in reading and mathematics. Once the grant ran out, I returned to the classroom and am currently the Reading Specialist for Moore High School in Moore,Oklahoma.
I believe all students can learn. I strive to accomp ... read more

I have formal tutoring experience with college students. I have informal tutoring experience with elementary, junior high and high school students through my work at youth shelters. My strength lies in breaking down information to the basics and helping students learn the answers on their own.
I graduated with a BS in Psychology and a BA in Criminology. My areas of expertise are statistics, psychology, algebra, trigonometry, editing research papers and essays, and writing in MLA/APA/ASA format. In addition, I made a 35 on the ACT and 1380 on the SAT, so I am more than capable of tutoring in ACT/SAT prep. I have made A's in English Composition I & II, English Literature, and Calculus I & II.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 using a Platonic method, asking prodding questions and getting the tutee to figure out the material him/herself. Occasionally, I have to teach in a more stern and disciplined manner b/c the student is distracted or doesn't feel like doing the work. In these cases, I remain disciplined to emphasize how important learning the material is but do not speak or act harshly.
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 (altho ... 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
