About
"Akwaaba!" My name is Scott and I am an Okie (Oklahoma native) that has been all over the world but still live in and love Oklahoma. I have a passion for teaching, mentoring, coaching, tutoring, and l... eading. My specialty subjects are: Sociology, Social Psychology, and Psychology. My specialty skill areas are: Public Speaking and College Readiness (Access). I have a bachelor of arts degree in Sociology and a master of arts degree in Intercultural Studies. As a first generation college student who struggle through the process of getting to college - I have a deep desire to help students in that process as well.
I am a unique tutor in that I teach professionally, however, I have years of experience in doing so all over the United States, Africa, and Latin America. I am personal, easy-going, relatable, and I enjoy teaching and mentoring in a way that is practical and beneficial.
I am currently a high school teacher and my subjects are: AP Psychology; Introduction to Psychology; Social Psychology; Sociology; and College/Career & ACT Prep. I have a long history of coaching team sports: football, basketball, track, weightlifting, and golf. Currently, I am a head high school girls golf coach.
I am married and have 3 kids. My wife is a high school English teacher and a basketball coach. In my free time I enjoy being with my family. We enjoy traveling, sports, the outdoors, and church. Additionally, I have been to West Africa over 30 times leading mission trips and I love spending time there every summer.
