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.

Make Learning Fun!!

I teach writing / grammar students based on their level of understanding vocabulary. Learning how to figure out the meaning of vocabulary words is key in successful writing. Word origin and grammar usuage is how a student builds their writing skills! Learning a wide range of vocabulary words (synonyms, antonyms, metaphors...etc.) gives the student more confidence and exercises the brain.

My comments on tutoring Poetry : My undergraduate English capstone course was in poetry. I cannot write it, but I can analyze it and write ABOUT it.

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 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 writing workshops. I enjoy reading young adult literature which has gained me an advantage in the classroom.
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. ... 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

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.

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 journalism, social studies, English, computers, and humanities at both middle and the high school levels. Traveling extensively through many nations has enhanced my teaching of all social studies subjects as well as customs around the world. My work with Department of Defense Education Activity has given me a range of skills and a sense of humor to assist future ultimate learners to thrive and succeed in local and multi-cultural environments.
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 ... read more

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 complacency and, at the same time, to find creative ways for the reluctant students to achieve some success and praise.
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 ... read more

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.

I currently have a bachelors degree in sociology with a minor in elementary education. During the past 4 years and working in the early childhood education industry I realized that many teachers were not getting the proper training that they needed to receive to help the children that they are serving. Once I realized this I decided to work on my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education in hopes that i could be an Early Childhood College Professor and teach students the ins and outs of the early childhood industry. While getting my bachelors degree I tutored in subjects such as reading,writing, math, and science as well as art.
I believe that all students learn differently and should be treated as so; with this being said i believe that each student should work at their own pace and should be helped to find strategies that help them learn.

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, ... read more
