Award-Winning Reading Tutors
serving Tulsa, OK

I am a student at Columbia University studying History & American Studies! While in high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate program and took various Advanced Placement courses. At Columbia I have worked with various public defense organizations as an advocate, investigator, and research assistant. I also volunteer as a tutor on campus, in the New York community, and even on Rikers Island. I am passionate about helping students from all backgrounds develop their writing, reading, presentation, and test-taking skills that will translate to all aspects of their education!

Struggling readers often aren't missing intelligence — they're missing strategies for breaking a text apart. Isabel teaches concrete techniques like annotation, context-clue vocabulary building, and identifying an author's purpose so that students become active readers instead of passive ones. Her English Composition background means she understands how texts are constructed, which makes her especially effective at teaching others how to decode them.

Growing up surrounded by agriculture texts — crop manuals, livestock journals, extension bulletins — taught Amber that reading isn't one skill but a dozen, shifting depending on whether you're absorbing a narrative or extracting instructions from a technical document. She brings that practical range to her sessions, walking students through how to adjust their approach based on what they're actually reading, from fiction passages to informational texts. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a 4th year psychology PhD student and have taught introductory psychology and abnormal psychology courses at the college level. I am able to tutor in a range of subjects including Statistics, English, Science, Social Sciences (psychology is my favorite), and Math. I have experience working with students of all ages, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. I am also able to help with test prep for the SAT or GRE.

I am an undergrad student at Agnes Scott college, currently pursuing bachelors in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. I grew up in a STEM focused household, and though I've always been inclined in those fields I've also always loved making art in whatever way I can.

I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I earned my Bachelors degree in Letters with a focus on the Classics, and am in the midst of applying for graduate programs in the field of Comparative Mythology. While attending university, I was continually leading study groups and providing writing and editing help for my peers. My education before college was rather unorthodox, in that I was homeschooled by my mother, who brought in students who needed more individual attention than was being provided for them in public or even private school. Having been educated in such an atmosphere through grade 12 has blessed me both with the experience of having watched quality tutoring occur every day and of tutoring others from a very young age. I have always found immense joy in tutoring. Helping others learn is a wildly rewarding pursuit. I believe that tutoring is essential because every individual learns differently - every brain moves in intricate and astounding ways - and trying to educate every student in the same manner can end in frustration and disappointment. My favorite subjects to tutor are Writing, Essay Editing, Reading Comprehension, and English, because I find these are the subjects which are easiest for me to connect with emotionally, and thereby elicit a response from a student and get them more interested and involved.

I am a graduate of Pepperdine University and am currently pursuing a PhD in International Relations at UNT. I have always had a passion for learning and knowledge, and I hope to impart that passion to others through tutoring. My academic interests include languages, politics, and literature. In my free time I enjoy to read, watch films, and travel when I can. I spent a year studying in Lausanne, Switzerland.

I am the only person who has earned a doctoral degree in the Bassoon. When I began teaching in schools, my first job was teaching Elementary Music and Gifted and Talented classes. I then taught fifth grade Social Studies and moved on to high school Biology and middle school Science. I have also been a professor of music at Oklahoma City University for over ten years. I'm certified to teach Math, Science, and Music, but I also have a passion for History, World Cultures, Study Skills, and Writing. I have been teaching private bassoon and oboe lessons for 20 years and feel very blessed to be both a professional performer and educator. My goal as a teacher is to empower my students to become lifelong learners and lovers of knowledge. I love to travel, and have been to all of the lower 48 states, as well as many different countries. I love sports, jogging, horseback riding, and cooking. I find it especially enjoyable to bring my adventures back to my students and encourage them to go make their own throughout their lives!

I am very active. I love working out and playing sports. Throughout high school, I played basketball, ran cross country, and rode horses. Now, I lift weights and do personal research in nutrition and athletics. I hope to one day combine my love of medicine and overall health in order to help my patients one day.

I'm another life long learner. I strive to assist learning in social encounters. Growing up with a family of school teachers and public school professional development figures, I have developed an interest in tutoring, research, and writing. After tutoring for about two years with Upward Bound and years of part time work with the educational development organization ALCA, I am now researching and writing a book on online political discourse, and wish to work improving my ability to help others.

I am currently a rising Junior at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in Biology on a Pre-medical track. I am on a full academic scholarship and an active participant in the honors program. My enjoyment of learning for its own sake has been a main driver of my academic success. I approach life with a smiling, energetic attitude, a mentality that carries over to my tutoring. Outside of school I love being active and outside as much as possible. My best days are filled with music, friends, and new experiences.

Strong reading isn't just decoding words on a page — it's knowing how to identify a main idea, make inferences, and connect what the text says to what it means. Natalie tailors her approach to the reader's level, whether that's building fluency with a second-grader or tackling complex nonfiction with a high schooler. Her own daily reading load as a Pre-Law student keeps her sharp on comprehension strategies she can pass along.

I am not working with students, you could find me: in the kitchen, cooking foods from around the world (with names I can hardly pronounce); in front of the computer, playing video games and listening to music; or outside, hiking/gardening/swimming/reading on a hammock (weather permitting!) I love learning new languages and studying new subjects.

I am currently pursuing a Bach. in Aerospace Engineering. I have always been very good at math in fact there were some grades where I feel I was teaching myself.I have never tutored for money before. This is not to suggest that I have never tutored because I have tutored Algebra 1, AP Calculus AB, AP Physics 1 , and ACT. If you are interested I hope we can work something out!

I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I received by Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. I have mostly tutored privately on my own time in one on one sessions. I mostly enjoy helping others with math and science related problems. Education is necessary to improve life and I want others to realize this. In my spare time I enjoy thought provoking literature.

I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma studying industrial & systems engineering. While I love my major, I'm also involved on campus outside of the engineering department, serving as an event chair under Campus Activities Council, working with orientation & transfer programs, and volunteering as a mentor for middle school students at Loveworks Leadership!

I'm Joe! I'm a first year economics and international area studies major at the University of Oklahoma. My favorite show is Rick and Morty, and my favorite book is The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien.

I am able to edit and help in the writing process of essays.

I am not studying or reading for personal enjoyment, I am often either writing or sharing rich conversation. Having specialized in philosophy of art, I have a passion for music and visual art and am enlivened by the artistic culture of Oklahoma City.

Stronger reading starts with knowing what to do when a passage doesn't make sense on the first pass — how to identify the main claim, track an author's reasoning, and distinguish key details from filler. Rebecca, who scored a 1540 on the SAT, applies those same analytical instincts to teach active reading strategies that work across fiction, nonfiction, and standardized test passages.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with a BA in English and a MA in the Humanities. My specialties are tutoring in test prep, writing, and reading. I am more than happy to spend time on my students outside of our organized sessions to ensure everyone meets their goals. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to our tutoring sessions!

Struggling readers often need something more targeted than "read more" — they need someone who can pinpoint whether the breakdown is in decoding, fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension and then address that specific gap. Liz's Master's in Special Education gave her diagnostic tools and intervention strategies for students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, and ADHD, and she's applied them across a wide range of learners in Boston classrooms. She builds reading stamina and comprehension simultaneously, using texts matched to each student's level and interests.

A semester at Madrid's top-ranked university, reading upper-level history and literature alongside native Spanish speakers, forced Meghan to become the kind of reader who squeezes meaning from every sentence — a habit that stuck long after she came back to Northwestern. Her daily work as a trade journalist means she's still doing it professionally: scanning dense source material, pulling out what matters, and cutting through jargon. She brings that same precision to teaching students how to actively track what a passage is saying and why.

Twenty writing prizes before age eighteen doesn't happen without being a relentless, close reader first — Valerie built her reading skills by pulling apart texts from Greek tragedy to contemporary fiction at the University of Chicago. She teaches students to identify tone, track arguments, and make inferences by actually engaging with what's on the page rather than skimming for keywords.

Philosophy trained Eric to do one thing relentlessly: read a passage and figure out what's actually being argued beneath the surface — what's assumed, what's implied, what the writer hopes you won't question. He brings that same interrogative approach to reading sessions, teaching students to track an author's logic and catch the moves that separate a strong argument from a weak one. His 1560 SAT reflects the kind of precise, deliberate reading that skill requires.

Strong reading is really about knowing what to do when a passage doesn't make sense on the first try. Jamie teaches specific strategies — annotation techniques, context-clue reasoning, and how to distinguish an author's argument from the examples supporting it — that turn passive reading into active comprehension. His 1600 SAT reflects the kind of close-reading skill he brings to every session.

Formulating an opinion about a text — not just summarizing it — is where David pushes students, drawing on his liberal arts background in literature, comparative literature, and critical writing. He walks readers through how to track an author's argument, weigh word choice, and articulate what they actually think about a passage in clear, specific language.

Poetry and nature literature were the texts that first made Emma want to teach — she built weekly reading-centered lesson plans around them for students from preschool through 12th grade at Chautauqua Institution, adapting how she approached a piece depending on whether a seven-year-old or a teenager was sitting across from her. That range, plus her Education minor at Cornell, means she can adjust quickly between a student who needs help retelling a simple story and one who's learning to track theme across a full novel. Rated 5.0 by students.

Before law school, Tiffany might have called herself a strong reader — after it, she understood what active reading actually means: annotating for structure, questioning the author's choices, and tracking how an argument develops across pages. She teaches these same strategies to students working on comprehension and critical analysis, breaking passages into manageable pieces so the main idea and supporting details become obvious.

Engineering coursework at Cornell throws dense technical writing at Abby daily — spec sheets, lab reports, problem sets where misreading one variable derails the whole solution. That habit of precise, careful reading carries over when she teaches comprehension strategies: breaking a passage into its core claims, figuring out what each paragraph actually contributes, and knowing when to slow down versus skim. Holds a 5.0 rating from students.

Between a master's in political science and an English bachelor's, Alex has spent years doing two very different kinds of reading — literary close reading where every word choice matters, and policy analysis where you have to extract an argument from fifty pages of data. That range means he can teach a student to slow down and trace tone shifts in a short story one session, then tackle an informational passage full of competing claims the next.
