Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Hillsboro, OR

I want to help students of all ages and abilities find love and motivation in school, just like I did from amazing teachers when I was younger. I have experience with working with children between the ages of six and twelve years old from coaching gymnastics, and I also tutored high school freshman in pre-algebra last year.... Students can become independent learners by encouraging them to work on difficult problems on their own at first, rather...

...ESL students at Elementary School, High School, and Undergraduate levels. I have a good grasp of the requirements of standardized testing including ACT, AP, and SAT prep. I am able to teach both the content of these exams as well as test taking skills. In my professional career I have worked as a researcher in nuclear physics and can tutor college level courses in classical physics, quantum physics, general and special relativity, thermodynamics, and mathematics.

...an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also passionate about teaching - sharing that knowledge in an accessible way that will help you find confidence and understanding, not just pass the next test....

...as a TA in the Physics 201/202 labs. My philosophy is not only to teach students the subjects they struggle with, but also to help them develop intuition, independence, and appreciation for math and science to carry with them throughout their educational career. At school, I enjoy running our college radio station and playing squash! I am an avid outdoorsman and love to spend my free weekends skiing and hiking around Mt. Hood.

...whole life. I have completed my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering and Masters in Electrical Engineering. The courses I have taken varied from mathematics, physics, basic engineering concepts in electrical, electronics and mechanical engineering to graduate level courses in signals and systems, electromagnetics and satellite & RADAR communications. I have enjoyed learning this knowledge and being a STEM student. I have worked as a teaching assistant in graduate school helping undergraduate students with their homework and...

Hi! I'm a recent PSU dual master's graduate, now a new tutor here looking to help you learn the tricky bits of math as well as computer science. I specialize in discrete math, as that was what I tutored while I was at PSU, but can teach pretty much all levels. Looking forward to guiding you towards that "Aha!" moment where things click in your head.

I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. My dissertation work was in optics, specifically optical imaging systems. I primarily tutor Optics, Electromagnetism, Analog Circuits, and Digital Electronics. My teaching style tends to be Socratic; I like to use guiding questions to help students grow their comprehension and problem solving skills.

...I have three years of experience tutoring at both San Jose City College and San Jose State University, where I have helped college students with math and physics, helping them with their homework assignments and offer explanations for challenging concepts in various subjects, including algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus, as well as general physics topics like mechanics, electromagnetism, waves, and light. Although I cover a wide range of subjects, I am particularly passionate about teaching...

As a teacher with 11+ years of experience, I hope to bring the same passion of learning that I have to students. With subjects that range from Spanish to Statistics, my goal is to help students find a way to overcome their obstacles and learn in a way that really sticks. I enjoy sports, films, books, music, and the outdoors.

...just my comprehensive understanding of software engineering principles but my passion for teaching and my commitment to fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment. I believe that learning to code is a journey of discovery and innovation, where each challenge is an opportunity for growth. My teaching philosophy centers on the Socratic method, encouraging students to explore, question, and develop critical thinking skills that go beyond mere coding abilities. I strive to make complex concepts...

...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 what I hold to be irreplaceable in the process of learning: ethics and morals. While many tutors accept jobs because of money, I tutor because I sincerely value...

...and in college, I studied Applied Mathematics with an emphasis in Physics so it's safe to say most of my education has been centered around STEM. Even still, I used to think I was bad at math until my second year of college taking an intro to business math class and decided I needed to switch majors. The rest is history. In my experience, math is one of those subjects that people seem the most...

...students in math. The math subjects I tutor include but are not limited to Algebra, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. I have worked with many students from different social and educational backgrounds, and I adapt my teaching methods to each individual student to ensure that they understand the material while enjoying the subject matter. I am a firm believer in the benefits of math and find it extremely rewarding helping students...

...in topics from Mathematics to Literature to Latin, and I love finding new ways to explain complex topics to students. I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Math, but I also have an extensive background in Latin Language, standardized test preparation, grammar, and writing. I'm currently pursuing a Master's Degree in writing, in an attempt to balance my education between the arts and the sciences. I'm excited about having the opportunity...

...have been tutoring math and test prep on and off for several years, since I graduated with my Mathematics degree in 2005. I also recently completed a second bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I like being a tutor because I enjoy helping people find a connection with the world through math and physics. I also enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds to find a learning method that suits them the best.

I'm currently majoring in bioengineering/pre-med at Rice University. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class. My interests include biology, math, and violin performance. I've done neuroscience research at the Jungers Center for Neuroscience Reseach and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. I've also done molecular biology research at the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

...into Oregon State University's PhD program in Mathematics for Fall of 2019. In the process of studying and preparing for graduate school I discovered a lot of great technology related to math education. I enjoy sharing math with other people and showing them tools that can empower their learning process. Being a caregiver put me in touch with many unique styles of communication and learning, and it is my goal to tailor tutoring sessions to...

I am a computer scientist and mathematician with a passion for STEM disciplines. Sharing my passion and knowledge with others brings me great joy and a sense of purpose and community. Teaching is both a science and an art form, and catering to different learning styles is a strength of mine.

While I tutor a variety of math and science topics, my favorite subjects are chemistry and physics, as I love exploring the ways in which the world works. Education is of the highest importance to me, and I wish to share this passion with my students. In my spare time, I like to read suspense novels, play a variety of string...

Hello! My name is Chase and I'm currently a junior at PSU majoring in Physics. I've always enjoyed helping people who are struggling with math and science. It's challenged me to articulate complicated ideas in the form of analogies that tie together abstract concepts and real world experiences. I strongly believe that science and math are subjects that should be understood, and not feared!
