Shakespeare Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wayne, OK

My name is Leigha, and I am a Senior English Literature and Cultural Studies student at the University of Oklahoma. I'm helpful, humorous, and happy! Literature, reading and writing, and communication are my forte. With over 4 years of studying English Literature and Cultural studies, I aim to help students become more comfortable with not only expressing themselves, but helping them understand literature and grammar. Luckily, my interests range from world literature to Shakespeare to contemporary literature and poetry. Being a writer myself, I try to focus on creating pieces of writing that are not only enjoyable and express who I am as a writer, but that are clear and grammatically-correct. I have over 4 years in helping junior high and high school students learn public speaking and debate, with over 7 years of my own competitive public speaking experience as well. Because of t

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 journalism, social studies, English, computers, and humanities at both middle and the high school levels. Traveling extensively through many nations has enhanced my teaching of all social studies subjects as well as customs around the world. My work with Department of Defense Education Activity has given me a range of skills and a sense of humor to assist future ultimate learners to thrive and succeed in local and multi-cultural environments. 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 rememb

I believe my job is not to force the student to learn. I want to create a passion for learning (even if student does not like the subject). Students have to take responsibility for learning. The tutors job is to help students reach full potential. I am graduating in May 2010 with a undergraduate degree in English Education. I have worked in several school districts as tutor, observer, and student teaching. I have personally worked in the following areas: Speech/Drama, English, and Middle school tutoring. I have worked with students in the 6-12 grades. I have also worked with Southern Nazarene University as a Teacher's Assistant. I have worked close with students and teachers to help students become better communicators, especially in a written aspect.

I began tutoring in high school. I worked at a local day care where I tutored a special needs child. The experience was very rewarding and inspired me to continue tutoring while in college. I went to North Georgia College & State University, were I earned a BA in English, and an MA in Public Administration. As an undergraduate student, I tutored other students in English and Writing through the NGCSU Honors Program. I'm currently in law school at the University of Oklahoma and scheduled to graduate in May 2010. Additionally, I am an officer in the Army National Guard, and have worked as a college recruiter. These experiences as a whole have solidified my belief that all students should pursue the opportunity for higher education. Teaching has always been something that I've greatly enjoyed. Whether it was helping a special needs student read, or an undergraduate history student f

Graduating Magna Cum Laude from college, I have always been a good student. My goal as a teacher has always been to lead by example. I have spent the last five years continuing my education through any opportunities given to me. I have taught 7th graders to seniors in high school and have learned to teach each group differently. I have always been a teacher who can break down the information to where my students can learn the parts and create the whole. English, American Literature, AP English, and Creative Writing are the subjects I have taught most recently. I currently hold a Bachelors of English Education. I am certified to teach 7th through 12th grade English, Speech, Drama, and Debate. I have spent most summers learning new teaching methods and keeping current with reading trends including Advanced Placement, Great Expectations, Professional Learning Communities, and various writin

I taught high school English and coached football for forty years before I retired. The two positions are compatible in that each has talented youngsters who come to school each day excited to learn and improve and those others less capable and seemingly apathetic about the task at hand. My philosophy was always to challenge those brilliant students to avoid complacency and, at the same time, to find creative ways for the reluctant students to achieve some success and praise. I received a B.A. degree from Central Oklahoma University in 1966. My major was English and my minor was Social Studies. I taught English in grades 9-11 for forty years. American Literature (Junior English) is what I taught the most but am qualified to assist students in understanding various literary genre as well as grammar lessons and writing assignments. I retired from teaching and coaching football after the 2
