Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

...I do best. I believe that to learn something well enough to draw from this knowledge when it is needed, all relevant vocabulary and equations must be thoroughly understood. Formulas that are memorized without understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to...

...year. For the last seven years, I taught all over the country (Charleston, SC, Nashville, TN, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA) and also earned a master's degree in education from Johns Hopkins University along the way.

By helping students succeed academically will help them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to make a difference in their communities and beyond. I want to be that person that played a part...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....

Looks like I'll be reading or taking classes for the rest of my life - just can't seem to fill those gaps in my knowledge. The most fun for me right now is the periodical online arts magazine which I edit...

...a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid (Albert Einstein) ." Every student can learn, just not in the same way or day. I understand and have experienced that feeling of frustration and confusion while learning due to a "cookie-cut tutor". Therefore, after all these years of tutoring, I highly value the differences (race, gender, ethnicity, learning styles/speeds) between my students. The essence of my tutoring principles are built on...

I have a lot of experience tutoring biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology at the college level as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English.
