Calculus I Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ames, OK

I am a student at the University of Central Oklahoma. My major is economics, and my minor is mathematics. Once I take calculus 4, I will have a minor in mathematics. I have approximately three more semesters until I graduate. I am the oldest of five children, and all of us were homeschooled. I love teaching younger children, and I enjoyed helping my siblings out with homework when they needed help. I like to draw pictures and explain things on paper so it is easier to understand.

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. Prior to moving to Oklahoma, I attended Fort Valley State University and carried double majors of Mathematics and Geology. I did not finish matriculating at Fort Valley. During the past 16 years that I have been in Oklahoma, I have tutored at my church and with teenages in my community at least 12 years as needed. I am proficient in the sciences and have extensive experience in research and writing professional level papers and reports. 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 enga

My teaching is based on lecture explanation. During teaching/tutoring I encourage my students to ask questions. At the end of the lesson I provide problems related to the related material. Assign homework for next class session. During my last year of college, I was employed by my university as a science/math tutor. During this year I was able to help students with their science problems of all levels. During my time in college I was involved in reading biomedical research papers.I was able to attract many students interested in the biomedical research field to learn how to read research papers. I was very proud of myself for this due to the high difficulty first year graduate students have reading these papers.

Teaching to me is a matter of discovering those small differences in learning style that students may not recognize and having the flexibility to offer a variety of paths to understanding. The goal is conveyance of a particular skill set through whatever means available willingness to offer different approaches of teaching tailored to a particular student's strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to ease students into unfamiliar territories with the expectation of success. I find this especially true with mathematics as many are frustrated with rote teaching mechanisms thus fostering an expectation of failure. Exploring different teaching mechanisms and allowing for various learning styles has been my most effective teaching approach. While studying physics at the University of Texas, I was exposed to a variety of educational experiences. My course work provided me with extensive study

I love working with anyone who is having trouble with mathematics, whether it be a junior high student or an adult who has returned to college. I really do believe that anyone can learn a subject if they put in the effort, and most of the time I have found that once they get over the initial fear of not knowing the subject they do quite well. I try to help boost the confidence of those I work with as much as possible. I worked for thirteen years in a standard office position. I went back to school to get a degree in Mathematics with the intention of becoming a teacher. With that goal in mind I have taken every opportunity of the past three years to help other students with math. I have tutored every subject in math from elementary algebra to differential equations to various different types of learners. I have gained useful insights into the different ways people learn and deal wit

I truly enjoy working with students. In my experience, many students get discouraged when they become confused with the content of material they are studying. I feel that in many cases, it is just as important to teach students how to learn as it is to teach what to learn; consequently, I advocate a step by step teaching method that allows the student to focus on what they do know, rather than what they do not know. As the student begins to understand each step, they become able to develop the required problem solving skills. I believe that the role of a tutor goes beyond the classroom, which is why I use a laid-back, pragmatic approach that matches my patient and easy going personality. As a student at Oklahoma State University, I have been fortunate enough to study a vast and varied curriculum. Although I am not an official graduate of OSU, I essentially have earned all the credentials
