Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...History with the intent of becoming a professor. Working as a tutor is a wonderful opportunity to craft and hone my educational style. I have sat on both sides of the tutoring table, and know how important it is to experience that sense of equality for the student to feel that they have some agency in the resulting relationship. This directly informs my tutoring philosophy. I believe patience and empathy are the keys to excel...

...I strive to create an inclusive, equitable learning environment that accommodates all students' needs and academic goals. In high school, I taught elementary schoolers about community health and hygiene in Spanish. In addition, I facilitated workshops about cross-cultural communication and active listening, and mentored middle schoolers as an Outdoor School student leader. More recently, I have worked with Sprout Up! NYC teaching first graders about environmental science, facilitated a course for ninth graders about health...

I am educated in many subjects including biology, science, math, English, and Communication. I look forward to working with you and hope your experience working with me will be a good one!

...as a high-school tutor but as a kindergarten and pre-K teacher. In my opinion, a good tutor needs not only to be knowledgeable, but sensitive to the ways that every student learns differently. I am prepared to work with my students, at their own pace, to ensure that they aren't just completing the work, but fully understanding and internalizing the material. Other than tutoring, I enjoy going to school (I'm about to get my bachelors...

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.

...I'm Emily Hoos and I have three years of secondary teaching experience. I love reading, going to movies, and discussing great books when they are made into movies! When I'm not reading or watching movies, I'm designing flowers for weddings and events, hanging out with my husband and our dog, and drinking LOTS of peppermint tea. Helping students meet and exceed their potential in school is something very near and dear to my heart, and...

...tutored students from a variety of backgrounds, I have an excellent capacity to improve a student's writing and reading skills whether in the context of an essay or in terms of taking assessment tests. I have worked as an editor and tutor for more than five years, and I recently graduated from college myself, so I have a good idea of what your professors and instructors want in an essay. Thank you for browsing my...

As a tutor and college graduate, I am dedicated to the advancement of the scholastic skills and personal empowerment of my students and clients. Clear, honest, open communication are integral to the tutoring/client relationship. Accuracy, preparedness and professionalism are paramount to my tutoring approach. As your tutor, I vow to apply these attributes to every tutoring session. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have before, during, or after tutoring sessions.... My teaching approach,...

...writing, music, biology, and mathematics. I've worked as a graduate school TA and been responsible for designing lectures at the graduate level. I've worked abroad and within the United States with language learners hoping to increase their mastery of English. I look forward to finding a way to find how you learn best for yourself, in the hope that you can apply what you learn over an entire lifetime and not just on this week's...

...to gaps in the student's knowledge base, or to their individual learning styleresults in exciting, tangible gains. My tutoring philosophy emphasizes building students' self-confidence by breaking assignments down into manageable parts, providing as much guidance as necessary, and allowing students to take the lead as much as possible. I consider modeling repeatable strategies and developing sound work habits to be just as important as completing the task at handbut when it comes down to crunch...

I'm a junior at the University of Michigan who loves to climb and code! Tutoring has always been a passion of mine as well - I love seeing my students grow and succeed both academically and personally!

...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 Today, and the Huffington Post. Not too long ago, I learned how to beat the system to score high on the SAT, and look forward to helping students do the same. After finishing my thesis in the new field of environmental history, I will graduate with...

...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 studying "the self." Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for the learning process. I enjoy learning new things, getting better at them, and helping others...

...as I could in high school and, thereafter, a BA in English Honors at the University of British Columbia. Acceptance into my program of choice was no easy feat, nor could it have been predicted. At the beginning of my first year of university, I nearly failed my first two major essays. Newly apparent to me was that I could not survive off of passion alone. It was thanks to my then-tutor that I was...

I believe that any student can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual. I try to uncover the different ways each student learns and present information in ways that make more sense to each student. I always try to make learning personal.... I believe that any student can learn. The only reason they may be struggling is because...

I began my career in education as a tutor and have since tutored and taught hundreds of students. I have tutored and taught English literature, composition, reading, technical writing, standardized test prep, ESL, and French. I love working with students and finding ways to help them best understand the material.

...helping others along the same journey. I know each student comes to tutoring with their own goals and learning styles. My sessions are strengths-based and person-centered. This means I do not talk while the student passively listens; instead, we work as a team to identify what strategies work best and individualize a plan that works specifically for them. My specialties are: writing, language, English, essay editing, social studies, and standardized test prep. I am passionate...

Good knowledge. A little fun. Lessons with a spark. I'm interested in the story behind things; I never overlook the students and the need to find the ways the material interests them. I have an excellent grasp of things and I can adapt my instruction to apply to every student's individual interests. So, let's have fun.

...a tutor can be in a student's life. Ever since that time I have been passionate about tutoring. I have worked with students of all ages and skill levels, in my volunteer work, as a private tutor, and as a peer tutor. Tutoring is a one-on-one experience, and I've found that the key to good tutoring is to realize that every individual student is different. My tutoring philosophy is that tutoring should by no means...

...I'm Owen! I was born and raised in Portland, OR, but I currently live in Rhode Island, where I'm working towards a Bachelor's Degree at Brown University. If there's one thing to know about me, it's that I love to learn, no matter the subject. Learning is a life-long process that can take you anywhere in life. But this doesn't mean it's always easy. It would be my privilege to help you overcome the obstacles...
