A Little Bit About Me...

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 have taught ESL conversation classes for almost three years now, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (also at OU). I have helped many people with over 100 essays, and I worked as a Writing Assistant in the OU Honors College Writing Center for one year, helping students in a wide variety of classes to improve not only their individual essays but also their overall writing abilities. I have tutored people of many different ages, from children learning to read English to post-doctoral scholars trying to publish their research.
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 ... read more

Experienced Tutoring Tailored to Your Child's Learning Style

Hi! My name is Angee and I am excited about helping students uncover their love for learning. Education: I attend Liberty University. I will have my degree in Educational Psychology at the beginning of May 2015. I have taken many classes which allow me to use educational theories in my tutoring. Work experience: I started tutoring in 2009 when I tutored students at my college who were at risk for academic probation. In 2011, I spent a year tutoring a child I was a nanny for so he could enter kindergarten on time. In 2012, I started tutoring professionally for an online tutoring company which led to my face to face tutoring with WyzAnt in 2013. I currently work from home as an independent contractor for an online tutoring company and in my spare time, I like working on making resources for homeschoolers. I have extensive experience with special needs. This includes bein ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since I was very young I tutored my brother on many occasions in reading and math. I believe everyone has a gift, and I knew that teaching was that gift for me. For 32 years I spent many hours in the classroom helping children to succeed. Not only was this succeeding in academics, but also in self-esteem as well. I spent time after school tutoring in elementary math and reading. My philosophy includes the fact that every child can succeed. I teach with hands-on learning using all of the senses. I love teaching.
Hands-on with visuals and manipulatives. Kids learn by doing and actively engaging themselves in learning. This is a good picture of my teaching style. I love teaching children with a robust flavor of learning. Make it fun, and children usually will remember how they have learned a new skill. I taught fifth grade for many years and was always the testing grade fo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all levels. I have a patient easy going nature and feel the only dumb question is the one not asked. My goals are to enable the student to not only master the subject matter but to incorporate that knowledge and be able to relate it to other disciplines. I always taught a section in the classroom on how to study effectively. I feel that if you make the difference in one student’s life then your career was a success. My career was successful many times over.
Due to my changing Majors as a junior, I received a Bachelors Degree with a double major, Biology and Education. My Minor was in English. I was pleasantly surprised when my Certificate in Oklahoma qualified me to teach seventeen fields. I have had the privilege of teaching nearly every discipline at the grade levels of seventh thru twelfth. In addition the District selected me to train to work wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I firmly believe that if a subject seems incomprehensible, nine times out of ten it is the professor and NOT the intelligence of the student. Likewise, I believe lack of effort or motivation also play a significant roll when a student performs poorly. My formula for success is simple, we work through the problems together, and repeat until the student can comfortably complete the problem on their own. The only way to learn is to do, you just need someone to show you how.
After twelve semesters of college and a wide variety of courses, my college experience has left me with quite the education and still more to come. I am a Senior attending the University of Central Oklahoma pursuing a bachelor in Applied Computer Science. I have taken such a wide variety of courses in the previous six years that I have completed the major requirements for a bachelor degree in General Studies as wel ... read more

I enjoy working with children and teaching them how to be successful. There is a indescribable feeling when one sees the sparkle in the eyes of a child when they finally "get it". I believe that children have to met where they are. I teach children according to their needs. All children have the potential to learn and when given the right structure and tools, they will succeed. As a teacher I make it my goal to change the world one student at a time.
I have worked in the public school setting over the past 14 years in grades pk through 8th grade. I have worked as an early childhood teacher, an administrator, P.E. teacher, and tutor. I have a genuine passion for working with children and seeing them be successful. I have received all sorts of professional development throughout the years including Great Expectations and Literacy First.

More About This Tutor...

A reflective style of teaching best describes my approach. Getting to know each student’s personality and their strengths and weaknesses will guide my method. A reflective style incorporates the teacher’s knowledge of the subject with what she knows about the students’ needs. For instance, if your student struggles with creativity but is grammatically strong, exercises in creative writing will be introduced. My tendency is to be strict, but fun; for instance, I tell my students to get their work so we can have fun! I truly look forward to meeting your child so we can start a positive learning experience that will last a lifetime.
Deep in the heart of Texas, I earned my English degree at a small college. I was only 21 years old and intimidated by the classroom, so instead of teaching, I entered the workforce. Now I am attending the English Graduate School at OSU, and am excited ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In 2006, I earned my bachelors degree in Elementary Education K- 8th grades. My cognate was concentrated in the Socials Studies areas. I have a great love of history and always traveling to learn more about interesting parts of the country. After graduation, I taught Commercial Science grades 6th thru 8th in a middle school. I have taught computers for the past two years in the same school. I have also substituted in all grades and all subjects.
I feel that all students learn differently and for that my teaching styles vary. I am a visual person so; I that all children can learn when shown examples of what I am trying to teach them. I am very hands-on as a teacher and I want your child to be involved in their learning. Above all, I love children and I feel that all children can learn if just given a chance.

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 each require special attention when working with a problem.
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, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 j ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 (altho ... read more
