Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Locust Grove, OK

I have 28 years of teaching experience in math - 4 years on the high-school level and 24 years on the college level. I have also done a lot of tutoring. Most students who have given me a chance to help them and have done their part have succeeded. Many students have told me that after I had the chance to help them, they understood math for the first time. Many students have told me that before I helped them that they hated math. But when they started understanding it, they didn't hate it anymore; in fact, some said that they even liked it. In tutoring, it is best to locate where the student is having trouble, and start at that point, since math builds on itself. I always begin by working 1 or 2 examples of a certain type of problem. Then, when the student is ready, let him/her work a similar problem. When the student has mastered that concept, we move on to the next type of probl

I have been a math tutor for several students in the Jenks/Tulsa area. As an engineer, math is a natural strong suit of mine. Previous students have seen test scores improve significantly. Using techniques to break down and solve problems inside your head is what I love to do. I really enjoy tutoring one on one and finding a way to relate to each student in a unique way so that we can work through learning challenges together.

Education is the key to our future and little is more rewarding than being able to have a guiding influence on a young person. I became a scientist because a single college professor ignited my interests in math and science. Everyone is different... we all learn in different ways. My teaching style is to connect with that key way a student likes to learn. I like to make the learning process enjoyable for the student by making the lessons relevant to the student's interests. I like to make learning fun, taking away the mysterious part that inhibits understanding. Music, mathematics and science are the loves of my life... and they're all three related. I played reed instruments (clarinet and saxophones) professionally in New Orleans in the late 1970s before returning to graduate school to study chemical physics. I am personal friends with well-known professional musicians and scientist

What makes me a great teacher is that I have patience and the understanding to work with anyone. I explain things in a way that whomever I am tutoring can relate to and benefit from the most. I am very social and outgoing which I think is important in helping identifying a student's specific learning needs. I enjoy helping others and want to use my abilities in a positive way. I recently graduated from NSU with a BS in Chemistry as well as minors in Biology and Math. I have very good writing skills not only because of writing lab reports but I worked for the university in the community relations office. I helped write many letters and plans detailing events we had. I have tutored fellow college students in math and science for the past 4 years.

While in high school, I discovered my love for math and began tutoring classmates in that area. My interest in writing developed during my educational career at The University of Tulsa, where I had courses in advanced exposition and argumentation and writing for the professions along with literature classes in the areas of Russian and British Literature of the 18th Century, Eastern Literature, and Greek Literature. I also took courses in Spanish, including a composition course. I currently have contracts to publish 2 manuscripts in 2011, one being a compilation of poetry and the other being a research paper dealing with depression stemming from exercise withdrawal. I feel that we all have the aptitude to learn, yet each individual discovers that aptitude in a different manner. My first and most important goal is always to convey this to the student in an effort to let them know I believe

I am very adaptive to students learning style. I usually spend the first ten minutes of our first meeting figuring out what the student is struggling with and how to best meet their needs. I try to teach students more how to think analytical more so then just solving problems because it is more beneficial to the student. I feel that if I can teach the student how to read theorems, understand concepts, then problems just become easy at that point. I started tutoring part time in 2004 and have continued this throughout college. I worked as a math tutor for tulsa community college part time during the summer. I have earned over 190 hours of college credit, I have two degrees, and I am only 15 hours away from a chemical engineering degree.

Every student has a unique combination of learning styles, but he or she also has a predominant one such as visual learner, kinesthetic learner, etc. I try to figure out which style or styles the student responds to and use those styles to get through to the student. I also have the student explain the problem to me. Usually th

I love to teach and work with children. Teaching is rewarding as I get the opportunity to impact the lives of students academically and socially and see them build confidence through participating in the learning process. I am patient and easy going and considerate. I believe all children are capable to enjoy the learning process given appropriate techniques to discover their potential. I come from a family of educators, where my mom, siblings are college instructors, and pride myself in continuing my background in education. I have a bachelor's degree, BA in Applied liberal Arts which enabled me to gain a broad understanding on test preparation, research, college algebra and writing. Currently a graduate, i've completed my second year in the MBA program, where i've obtained extensive practical experience in presentations, writing scholarly papers, graduate accounting, finance, mathema

I want my students to enjoy learning so that they will be motivated. I have found that one of the best ways to make learning enjoyable is to make it accessible to the student. A student who understands the course work will enjoy the learning process and be motivated to work harder than a student who does not. I try to understand what is obscuring my students perception of the subject and then I try to remove that obstruction. Generally a student understands almost everything, but there is one or two things that give them trouble. When those one or two things are cleared up, they feel empowered and motivated and I very much enjoy helping a student to that place. I have primarily tutored mathematics and physics for eight years. I have tutored students in middle school to college level in classes ranging from remedial algebra to college level calculus. I have a Bachelors degree in Ma

I have over six years of tutoring experience. I have tutored students ranging from middle school to college and in subjects ranging from algebra I to calculus III. I have a Masters degree in applied math so I have taken a number of advanced mathematics courses. In addition to my technical proficiency, I have strong people skills and work well with students in a one on one setting. I believe that a student should enjoy learning. I had some fantastic teachers who taught me to love learning and I try to emulate these teachers when I work with students. One of the main keys to helping a student enjoy learning is to empower them to learn on their own by helping the student connect with the material at a point of understanding so that they can venture out on their own in whatever direction is of interest to them. In my experience, most students are very close to a point of understanding

My teaching style is primarily includes me working right along side the student at all times. I like to provide real world examples whenever possible, and firmly believe in using those examples to help the student understand the bigger picture of what they are learning. In other words, I don’t want to simply teach the student how to do the lesson but also why. I want them to understand the ultimate goal of what they are learning and the underlying reason as I believe this facilitates long-term retention of the material. I graduated 94/921 from Broken Arrow HS in 1994 and tutored as part of my affiliation with extra-curricular groups. I finished 1st, 2nd & 5th at three separate area high-school accounting competitions. I was included on the President’s Honor Roll (4.0 GPA) 5 times while attending Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, and was awarded several scholarships based

At Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma Washington, I left with an extensive understanding of science. Within my chemistry and geosciences degree program, I complete two research projects on hydrogeochemisty, and have extensive class work and laboratory training. I was the geosciences department tutor where I held one-on-one tutoring, group review sessions, and laboratory instruction. I currently am getting my Master of Education from Northeastern State University. This year I worked for Union Public Schools as a paraprofessional within special education, acting as a sign language interpreter and curriculum assistant. I have tutored and/or taught in the following subject areas; chemistry, geosciences, general math, general science. I have always had a passion for teaching and science.

The knowledge gained from completing an accounting degree from an accredited accounting program has possessed me with real world function and theoretical application of multiple accounting systems. My education was not limited to material found on a CPA Exam, but was broad in scope covering new fields in forensic's accounting, and old staples of accounting for natural resources such as petroleum. I am proficient in many accounting fields such as Financial (FASB), Cost, Auditing, Information Systems, Encumbrance, Not for profit, and Advanced mergers and consolidations. When teaching accounting practice or theory there is no substitute for working problems. Repetition of working problems helps all students gain insight of accounting rules and principles. I am a very patient person who is willing to do what ever it takes to see a student succeed in their academic endeavors.
