...need the most strengthening, creating a unique plan of action that will lead to success. Commonly, issues of focus, confidence, and anxiety can be the most important underlying obstacles preventing someone from mastering new skills and content knowledge. I bring a lot of unique insight and experience in mindfulness, positive psychology, and self-awareness to my work with students that are fundamental aspects of my philosophy of learning. Please feel free to contact me if you...

...a position that in retrospect would have helped me further, I wish to apply my skills as a tutor. My work experience has been diverse in many ways, yet has also demanded professionalism and excellent teaching skills. Most recently, I worked in the Student Affairs office of my alma mater, Grinnell College, as the front desk representative for student, parent, and faculty concerns – all under confidentiality and time pressures. At the same time, I...

...confidence in their own academic abilities and a true love of learning. I like to work with a student's unique skills to help them master new or difficult material. My ultimate goal is to help my students truly comprehend the material, and be able to apply what they have learned when encountering new problems and questions. When I'm not working I spend my time hiking at the Sandy River Delta with my husky puppy, Kili,...

...was naturally passionate about. I started teaching piano in 9th grade, working with neighbors in my local community. In college, I joined a group called the Experimentors who taught K-12 science and math. We traveled to various schools throughout Boston after class and organized curriculums for different subjects and age groups. However, I was always drawn more to teaching one-on-one, where I could form a relationship and really tailor my teaching style to the students'...

...Master's of Education in Special Education at Grand Canyon University on December 2021. The Master's degree in helping students with mild to moderate disabilities. My Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences from Portland State University. My philosophy is each child has a unique way to learn. Some children are auditory learners, some are visual learners, and others are a combination of both. It is easy to learn in an environment that...

...DNA database and collecting information on specific transcripts. I look forward to every new student I tutor for a myriad of reasons! First, both teaching and learning are much easier in a 1-on-1 scenario, because the tutor must only focus on the growth of a single student. Additionally, the student and tutor can actually discuss the subject to really build an understanding of it. I incorporate lots of real-world applications and analogies in my teaching,...

...one size fits all. The best teaching methods are the ones that fit the way the student learns, and each student learns differently. Finding what works best for each of my students is just the first step in what is hopefully a lasting relationship. Though I like to think of myself as a scientist, in truth I aspire to be a science educator, and plan on attending graduate school to become a teacher. I recently...

...exercises and then providing an example of how to solve the problem. Then letting the student take a shot at a similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the...

Hey everybody! My name is Anna Miller. I recently graduated with an MPH in Epidemiology. I have been tutoring math, biology, and test prep for over five years, and I hope I can help with any math questions you may have.

...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 you encounter on this journey.

...had to broker complex scientific topics to people and agencies that needed the gist of the situation without having the foundational scientific knowledge. This experience taught me how to break down information into digestible chunks so it can be understood and built upon - a skill that I use quite frequently when teaching. I do love the physical sciences, but there's a special place in my heart for the social sciences. The brain/body axis is...

...and graduate student, I spent several years as a Physics teaching assistant. My experience at the universities has included both teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's...

I'm a long-time Portland resident who has worked on a lot of cool projects in healthcare as an engineer, often helping grad students with their projects. I like flying my Phantom quad when its not raining and indoor soccer when it is.

...was when teachers would make me feel dumb simply for asking questions. My goal is to make sure my students never feel ashamed for being inquisitive or for not understanding something the first time they see it. I am a recent graduate from Portland State University with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. PSU operates on a quarter-system, which means you must learn and retain a lot of information in a short...

...everyday, you'll only end up burning yourself out. But 1%...just try to make yourself 1% better today than you were yesterday...and by the end of the year you'll be over 365% better. It is the small steady changes and growth that make us great! I believe that each of us has the ability to exceed all our own expectations. That is why I tailor my teachings to the student's methods of learning to ensure the...

...is literature, with physics and mathematics close seconds. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as follows: Learning should be fun. People learn at different rates and in different ways. Teaching and learning should be flexible and made to fit the student. It's good to take breaks and let your brain rest. My tutoring style is to be a guide and to help a student "learn how to learn", so to speak. I like to...

...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 uncover the causes of anxiety or helplessness technical subjects can engender. My bachelor's degree is from UCLA, where...

...currently a Sophomore at the University of Portland. I am in the National Honors Society since high school and I have been tutoring ever since. I love helping students understand tough subjects and seeing them progress as the year progresses. Being able to help others is truly wonderful, and I hope I am able to push students who are having a difficult time in the right direction. I love math and science, as they came...

...University of Puget Sound. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a minor in Politics and Government. I started tutoring with the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society while in college. Subjects that I tutored included calculus, chemistry (AP and introductory), organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry. I particularly enjoy tutoring introductory chemistry because I find that the broad range of topics covered offers many different opportunities to find chemistry examples in everyday...
