Award-Winning ACT English Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

Hi! My name is Mason and I am currently a medical student at OHSU. I have been tutoring for 10 years, and worked throughout college as a math tutor. I've been living in Portland for two years, and am a Oregon native, growing up in Bend. When I am not in school I enjoy spending time outside hiking and running.

I follow the Golden Rule. I am a critical thinker and learner. I am a diplomatic, patient, open-minded, self-deprecating listener. I am dependable, honest and sincere. I am kind and helpful, supportive and empowering. My best friends would tell you I pay genuine attention to people, that I'm passionate and committed, (selectively) non-judgmental, encouraging and compassionate, humorous and tactful.... I work to help my students learn to educate themselves.... I would ask questions about the student,...

...patient and intuitive teacher. I try to make a meaningful connection with any student I work with, to build and maintain trust, and I work with them off of that base. I understand that all people have distinct learning styles and needs and I try to anticipate those needs and account for them in any lessons and practice I do. My passion is special education, as I believe every child has more potential than we...

...last couple of years working in outdoor education, learning to teach exciting lessons and keep students engaged in the cold, wind and rain (and occasional sunshine) of the Pacific Northwest. Outdoor education is all about empowering students to solve problems and think critically in unfamiliar situations, a philosophy that translates easily to academics. I also work as journalist, writing for Portland Monthly magazine and USA Today College. My writing has appeared in Oregon Live, USA...

...my true passion is helping children with disabilities. I found my love of reading through many hours of feeling alone and isolated as a hard of hearing child; I am so excited to tutor kids like myself who have to work a little harder to accomplish the same things in school. Lifelong learners start by getting excited and seeing the capabilities within themselves, and I can't wait to help those students shine!

I am a life-long learner and an encouraging, supportive and resourceful teacher who really takes joy in investing in students' progress and learning. I have had over 9 years of direct teaching experience, from university classrooms to kitchen table tutoring to online language teaching. I most enjoy working with students who know what they don't understand and are willing to ask and answer questions, even daunting ones!

...teacher in both 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms. I am well versed in the Common Core and know that I have some creative talents when it comes to helping students and parents understand and work within the scope of these new standards.

I LOVE teaching, reading and using rich vocabulary and would LOVE to help students deepen their...

My name is Krista. I am a licensed teacher and have been teaching for 13 years and would love to tutor your child or children. I currently work as a teacher with the Portland Public Schools.

...experienced tutor with strengths in writing, mathematics, psychology, and anatomy/physiology, and I especially enjoy helping students in their middle school and high school years. My skills are enhanced by time in traditional school (Wilsonville High School) and home school environments as well as with general and special education (ADHD) students. A core belief that drives me is that I have an inexhaustible hope that everyone is capable of improvement.My recent career history consists primarily of...

...I can not only show you the tricks that DID work for me, but I can also help you find the tricks that WILL work for you. The test prep books, and the cookie-cutter classrooms, must remain generic so that they can work, at least on some level, for all of the students who might read the book or take the class. With 1-on-1 tutoring, we will be able to create personalized strategies for preparing...

While I tutor in a wide range of topics, I am...

...information stick. My age range for tutoring has been as young as elementary schoolers and as seasoned as working adults. The student always has priority, and I am just here to help them on their journeys! I understand that every single student requires a different way of teaching, and I have always considered myself a creative person.

I am a writer and freelance editor living and working in Portland, OR. I’ve spent the bulk of the last decade studying Philosophy, English, Cybertheory, and Professional Writing at Portland State University. I favor science-fiction (particularly military and cyberpunk) but generally enjoy any story that is interesting and well told. I also enjoy writing and editing for the screen– it is not the medium that intrigues me, but the content.
