He shows up when he says he will, helps Tyler to understand Calculus 2, and I really really appreciate him constructing my son a study sheet... This is invaluable and Barton is truly doing a great service to the community! We will always think so highly of him. Can't thank you enough Barton!!!!
Thanks for the kind words Renee! It's a pleasure knocking out integrals with Tyler, and I am glad to have such a great student for the semester.

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Calculus
Tested unto Calculus 3 freshman year and have tutored it every year since.
Discrete Math
I am a senior mathematics major with a physics minor. I took discrete several years back and came out with an A. I use this area of mathematics fairly often and I am very familiar with the material.
Elementary (K-6th)
I have tutored for three years through the Olde Tyme Tutors business based out of Rogers, AR. I have worked primarily with elementary school students but have also received up to undergrad students through the company. While I have not received actual training in teaching younger students I have acquired much experience over the past three years. Subjects tutored include math, reading, writing, science, study skills, typing, and history. I have set up several homework groups through Olde Tyme Tutors where up to 6 students would come to work on homework and have me help them with any problems they encountered. All of my students have ended with B's and A's in their selected subjects. On some occasions I tutored directly at the school and was able to maintain a working relation with the students' teachers as a way to keep track with their progress and see where they were struggling the most.
Logic
I have taken and completed a math logic course with an A. It's was one of my mathematics major degree requirements and I have used logic extensively since in the pursuit of elementary to advanced math proofs. It is a subject I have put many hours into and devoted countless sheets of paper to logical equivalence tables; as a result I feel very comfortable teaching it.
Praxis
I have tutored for this exam before and have covered the mathematics material for it many times over in my past four years of tutoring. I am familiar with the most up to date layout, scoring, and content of it as well. I can teach or provide an abundance of example problems for any of the content.
Reading
I have tutored for three years now and dealt primarily with K-6 students, most of whom needing reading help as well.
Special Needs
I have tutored for three years now through Olde Tyme Tutors based out of Rogers, AR. I have worked primarily with younger students, several of whom have had minor to major learning disabilities. Within this past year I have almost exclusively worked with foster students who more often than not require more focused attention due to learning disabilities or missed years of school. I have tutored students with disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, anger management problems, and a handful of others. Being dyslexic myself I have firsthand knowledge of the type of difficulties a young student with a learning disability may face. I work very closely with parents and teachers when it comes to special needs students because I believe a good home influence as well as strong class participation and critical for the student's success.
Study Skills
I have been a tutor for three years now and have worked with several students on study skills. I have become very accustomed to teaching study skills, so much so that I now bring a folder for each my students to keep notes of what we go over and to help them write clean, organized, and useful notes.
Writing
Completed all of my college writing qualifications by my senior year of high school.
Been reading all my life,
any and all kinds of literature,
from Mark Twain to Walter Dean
and everything in between
