I am a graduate of Boston Latin School and MIT. I have loved math and science since I was a child, and I loved my time at MIT, earning a BS in Materials Science, a PhD in Materials Science, and doing post doctoral work there. After leaving that academic world, I was drawn to software engineering and started my own software consulting business, which I have run for many years. I found that tutoring my sons and daughters and other young people in math has been very rewarding and that my enthusiasm for math and science can be infectious. My approach to instruction is to determine quickly what issues prevent the student from understanding the material and to work in a supportive and guided manner to help the student achieve success. Nothing makes me happier than helping a student to gain confidence by mastering a topic they were having trouble with. I love music, mostly jazz and rock, a love I got from my parents. I read science fiction, and do Tai Chi, and am working towards becoming an instructor, which is another form of tutoring as I see it. I am an Eagle Scout, and for many years, I have mentored young men who are working on attaining that rank. I volunteer to help the seniors in my home town with electronic device problems in their homes. I believe that a good education is the foundation for success in life. I like to think I've motivated and encouraged many young minds to achieve success.

Finance, econometrics, statistics, sports, family, and the Boston Celtics make for a great life.

My parents emphasized the importance of education since I was young. It's what allowed my father to come to the US in the first place. As an artist, social entrepreneur and educator, I teach in a way that connects the material to its practical usage.

I received my Bachelors degree in electrical engineering from Manhattan College, New York, and right now, I am pursuing my MBA degree from Louisiana State University.As a tutor, I am a firm believer of the motto "Face it! Ace it!" This means that we can work together to make your academic weaknesses into one of your strengths.

I moved to Portland in July 2016 after spending the last seventeen years living and working in New York City. The bulk of my professional experience as a web designer and developer came between the years of 1999 and 2010, when I worked at firms such as Simple Circle LLC, Bozell Inc, and Admaster Communications. My daily tasks ranged from sketching and designing interfaces, to planning sitemaps and experiences, to developing sites in HTML5 / CSS / JavaScript, to animating in Flash, to creating custom content management systems for clients in PHP and MySQL.While I've been teaching web and interactive design since 2002, since 2011 I've been doing so almost exclusively. My full time position was at The Art Institute of New York City, but I taught additional adjunct classes at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York City College of Technology (City Tech), and York College.

I am recent graduate of Sewanee: The University of the South, where I earned a B.A. in English and minors in biology and chemistry. Unsurprisingly, these subjects are where my interests lie, and I also love to help with preparation for standardized tests, especially the critical reading portions of them. I have experience tutoring molecular and cell biology and coordinating a tutoring program for pre-health students at my alma mater. When tutoring, I want to help students do what my past tutors and professors helped me to do: go further than learning discrete facts and instead learn to learn. I want to help you develop your ability to think critically, apply previous knowledge to new material, and break down complex ideas. As a result, you can expect me often to ask the question, "Why?" Overall, my goal is to help you get to the point that you no longer need me! And that's okay, because my unemployment will indicate your success.

I recently graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology. As a tutor, I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning to read to adults preparing for the GED. I love history, science, math, and writing, and have a passion for the environment and social justice. However, I am excited to help students reach their goals in any subject area. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach as a tutor, where the students' goals are front and center, and we work together at a pace that is comfortable but achieves meaningful results. Outside of tutoring, I love spending time in nature, and am pursuing a career in the environmental field.

I graduated from the University of California- Santa Cruz, where I received my MA in Education, and my English Teaching Credential. I also earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Drama with a minor in Literature from University of California- Irvine. Since receiving my credential, I have taught High School and Middle School Language Arts and Drama. In addition to teaching, I've directed multiple productions at the High School level and helped to develop a Visual and Performing Arts Program.As a tutor, I'm most passionate about Literature and Writing. I love helping students with reading comprehension and writing skills. My time in the classroom over the last eight years has given me a lot of experience and resources to help students of all levels improve their skills and confidence.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, and relaxing with family and friends.

I am a tutor because I believe that education provides the best opportunity for people to be happier and more productive individuals. I want to help people be happy!All of us can learn all things, but people learn at different paces and with different methods, so many students are left behind in the school system. That is why working with a tutor can be a person's best opportunity for success. I am a trained teacher who will help students succeed!I am certified to teach English, Spanish, Japanese, and Political Science in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Louisiana. I have a Master's Degree in English from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and thirty Master's credits in Spanish from the University of California - Santa Barbara. I have spent a year in Japan and a year and a half in Guatemala. I have had poetry and short stories (fiction and nonfiction) published in several online magazines.Besides reading, writing, and studying foreign languages, I enjoy kayaking, biking, yoga, and dance. You can also find me at ethnic restaurants and bistros all over the Milwaukee area or in a local theater or cinema enjoying a show.

I love reading and writing and all the elements that are intricately laced through those two disciplines. It is exciting the explore the possibilities of word choice and grammar, as well as the different lenses with which to analyze literature and explore themes.I graduated with my undergraduate in English Literature from Brigham Young University-Idaho. I received my master's degree from Northern Arizona University in Rhetoric, Writing, and Digital Media Studies. I taught English composition as an adjunct faculty at BYU-Idaho for two years. I am trained in the Suzuki violin method and taught violin lessons to children as young as five and adults. I believe that a person of any age can develop a musical talent and learn to analyze literature and become a high-level reader and writer.My favorite subject to teach is English composition. I think being able to shape your words into clear thoughts and persuasive language is a beautiful art.
