...of teaching: The best part of teaching is feeling proud of what your students accomplish. A good teacher is someone for whom the student wants to work hard. A teachers most important skill is seeing things through students eyes. The students should be able to see themselves making progress. That's the psychological part of teaching. As for technique, I model, and monitor student work, and explain to correct mistakes. Students learn the most by working...

...I used to climb mountains, run marathons, bike across the state or bike from Seattle to Portland in a day. I also played harmonica and guitar - not so much anymore. I retired on-time for health reasons (nothing drastic - overweight and out of shape). Now I have new interests. I get plenty of exercise. I go on "vision quests" where I visit remote areas in Oregon and Washington and camp out of my car....

I am passionate about helping students because it is rewarding and it is what I do best.

Formulas that are memorized without understanding...

I previously worked as a credit recovery online teacher in Denver, CO, and San Diego, CA. I recently moved to Portland with my husband and am hoping to return to teaching once the pandemic is over next year. In the meantime, I want to continue working with students in my community, doing what I love best: teaching!

...teaching math and love to think of math in real-life terms with lots of different kinds of examples to help as a guide through the abstract. Along with math, I focussed on both Computer Science and Spanish. I gained most of my Spanish literacy through two study abroad experiences in the Dominican Republic and Chile, where I took all my classes and completed all my coursework in Spanish. Since graduating in 2019, I have worked...

I have passionately pursued the application of sciences and math over my 25+ year career. I am a firm believer in promoting professional development and learning in all those around you, and being prepared to learn at the same time. Many of my examples will draw on my history in aquariums, water quality and water purification and relate to environmental stewardship and conservation biology.

...in Spanish/Hispanic Studies. In college, I played two years of DIII lacrosse, sang in an a cappella group, studied abroad for a semester in Madrid, and was the co-chair of my major committee. With a faculty member in the physics department, I worked on a project analyzing the intersection of physics education, cognitive science, and contemplative practice (e.g., meditation). My senior thesis was a critical evaluation of the goals and results of neuroimaging studies purportedly...

When I'm not wrestling with Ruby and JavaScript, you can find me exploring Portland parks or hanging out reading and playing video games. I think I'm a great tutor because I genuinely love learning, no matter the subject, and I...

...in September 2018. I am eager to share my passion for the technical challenge with younger students facing the same coursework that has prepared me to succeed in college, internships, and the work force. Because everyone learns differently, I believe one on one tutoring is an extremely powerful educational resource for a student that is struggling or hoping to get ahead. I would begin a tutoring session with a few sample subject questions to determine...
