ACT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Byars, OK

I am a highly-motivated, high-energy, personable teacher with multiple international teaching experiences. I possess talent for making the classroom fun and entertaining, with a passion for cultural harmony and teaching students to appreciate their own culture and language as well as being confident in American English. I am confident with people of all backgrounds and knowledgeable about all aspects of social studies. I have a deep appreciation for grammar, communication styles, the written word and the power of speech. I also love to insert history into every lesson. I have always loved to teach, and loved to travel and meet new people. This led to traveling for a summer during college to Mexico City, living with a Spanish-speaking family. I also spent twelve weeks in West Africa teaching ESL and speaking French before my senior year at OBU. After graduation, I lived in Northern Califo

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 with the

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 best way

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 remember facts; instead, it is about giving them tools to help them think so that those facts mean something. My specialties are journalism, social studies, English, computers, and humanities at both the middle school and the high school level and my work is seasoned with insights from traveling the world as a teacher. From Korea to Amsterdam, from Oklahoma to Italy, all students want to learn and I help them discover how they can learn best. 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 journal

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 (although we

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. I have experience tutoring college students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Statistics. I have over a year of experience in tutoring students who are learning di

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 easier to get them to talk and share their actual thoughts and ideas (which might be brilliant or flawed). 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,

I have a Bachelors & a Masters of Science in Biology. Most of my experience is in academic research from both Canterbury University and The University of Oklahoma. I consider myself well traveled thanks to the Air Force... I have several certificates that include EMT, CNA, CH-HA, CPR, Flight Medic, R&D... Now to be specific my knowledge is in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, Geology, and Mathematics. I've served as an adjunct professor for 2 years now. I like to emphasize the personal nature of teacher-student interactions. I guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. My overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I work with students on projects almost in a consultative fashion and I provide as much support

While achieving my Associates in Physics at South Texas College, I worked as a tutor in the Rio Grande Valley Area of South Texas. I tutored students at; Mary Hoge Elementry, Weslaco High School, and at all five remote locations belonging to South Texas College. The subjects I have tutored are various Math and Science subjects such as: Calculus I & II, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, Chemistry I, Algebra, College Algebra, Fundamentals of Mathematics, Developmental Math, Physics I & II. I have been working with a wide variety of students in the past two years from elementary to college level. I have seen and learned that each student is different and cannot work with just one style. I adapt to each student differently and we both learn how to approach problem that will make sense for the student. I have learned that determination, smart work, and repetition are not related to one another but

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.

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. Receiving a top-notch education from an accredited university, allowed me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. I scored a 5 on AP Calculus in high school and ranked 12 out of 496 students. Back in high school, math and science homework were ne

My teaching style is based largely on the priority academic student skills for Oklahoma. I have used Alpha Plus, Study Island, Destination Success by Riverside, Literacy First, You Can Learn, and Buckle Down software and written materials. I utilize several self motivating materials. I teach them how to acquire relevant data, how to retain it,and retrieve prior knowledge. My strength, is giving students a sense of pride, accomplishment, and building their self esteem. I have a great deal of patience with children who want to avoid learning. I have never taught a child that has not made their impact in my own life. As a graduate in special education, with emphasis in speech and hearing, I helped students improve language skills and articulation deficiencies. I used their curriculum and texts. I then obtained my master's degree in Special Education - Mild/Moderate Disabilities, and
