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

I am in my third year as an English teacher at a Tulsa charter school. I currently teach 6th Grade Language Arts and high school College Prep English and Reading. I am a firm believer that all students can learn when given the opportunity. I also believe in catering to different learning styles. If you give me the opportunity to tutor your child, I promise that you'll receive effort, attention and experience that you will not find from most other tutors.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and pre-medicine. I have experience working with children who have autism. Elementary education is important to me since it is the foundation upon which later learning is built. I believe that all students have strengths and weaknesses and that each child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school. While psychology was my primary area of study, I am excellent with reading, writing, and medical related sciences. Being a kinesthetic learner I am familiar with the challenges a traditional classroom setup create. I know how to help an introverted child move to the head of the class and tailor their study habits to their abilities. Reading is important at all ages and comes more easily for some than others. For any child that lags behind in this area I am passionate about moving them to the front of the class. In my opinion, allowing a c

My teaching style is patient and creative. I seem to find unique ways and examples that the learner can understand to help describe how to solve problems. I’m not afraid to admit if I’m not confident of an answer to a question and will do all I can to figure out the solution that makes the best sense to the student. I’m flexible with regards to teaching for different learning styles because not everyone learns the same way. My tutoring can extend from grade school kids to college students. I know the value of a tutor in a young person’s life. As a child I struggled in math, but working with a tutor I overcame my difficulties in this area and eventually went on to complete calculus level two and even become the math club president in high school. I have earned two degrees, a Masters in Business and a BS in Finance which have allowed me to gain extensive skills in math, statistical analys

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.

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 in their abilities. The thing that allows a student to most effectively reach his or her possibilities is confidence. The future of any nation lies with the quality of the education received by its students, and this education is only as useful as the extent to which its possessors can communicate. That is what makes composition and English comprehension so vital. The brightest mind can be a prison of knowledge without the proper skills of communication. 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 advan

As I am a current Ph.D. student in English Literature, I have an immense interest in education--not only my own education but also the education of others. As I have been working on my two graduate degrees--an MA and a Ph.D in English Literature--I have been fully invested in preparing myself to become a teacher of English, literature, and composition. My BA and MA degrees are both in English Literature, and I am currently in the final stages of my Ph.D. work; therefore, I have a sophisticated knowledge of the English language, and my six years of teaching at the college level have made me a competent teacher of all concerns related to reading and writing. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor since 2001 in a variety of subject matters, but more recently in the field of English. I currently am a tutor at the University of Arkansas' Quality Writing Center. Here, I work to help students,

I enjoy teaching, conversely I also have enjoyed my experiences tutoring to date. Working one on one is what some children (and adults) require if only from time to time to "get through" something they are struggling with academically. Over time I have become more and more patient, and have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and believe that if a person wants to succeed then they are more than halfway to their destination. I have also seen that if you can influence this and help kids "want" that success, it can happen as well. Presently I hold a certificate for Physics and chemistry and I'm planning on Certifying in Math (Algebra and geometry) here in Oklahoma. I have tutored for a learning center locally (Oxford) and have been tutoring independently since September with a number of success stories in both algebra and geometry as well as ACT preparation.

I love tutoring and working with students of all ages. I believe all students can learn; however, each student has a unique learning style. I am patient, considerate, and capable of finding the students learning style. After doing so, my goal is to provide the best education possible and help the student achieve academic success. A few good educators can make a difference in a student's educational experience. My goal is to make that difference in all my student's lives. Presently, I'm pursuing an MBA in Organizational Psychology & Development from American Intercontinental University. I'm driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education with the students that I instruct. I have earned a BS in Family Studies & Gerontology which has enabled my to understand the anxiety felt by students while attempting to master a specific subject. I've compile various research papers and reports

I have been working with the public for over 20 years, in that time I have worked with young adults as well as mature adults. I have also done some substitute teaching in elementary and high school levels. My experience is in food service and have dealt with many walks of life. I am a very committed member of Lincoln Kiwanis International as well as a member of the Central United Methodist Church. While I was a student at the University of Missouri I received a 5 hour A in Chemistry. All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both. Children need the tools and the direction and if you provide them both, the sky is the limit. I want to make a difference in a child's life.

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. 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.

As a diagnostician I strive to thoroughly understand the academic strengths and weaknesses of each student. I also use my observational skills and testing experience to check for auditory, visual and other problems not easily detected in school settings. With adequate individual attention using proven teaching techniques, I can help any student to achieve his/her maximum level of expertise in any subject. I have taught reading and music full time in public schools as well as administered IQ and Achievement Tests for the Ok State Dept. of Education. I have tutored students in reading, test-taking techniques, and elementary math. With a BS in Elementary Education, MS Reading Specialist and Psychometry/Educational Diagnostician certification as well as strong minors in Art and Music, I have the background necessary to diagnose problems and teach necessary skills.
