Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving Hillsboro, OR

I'm a Vassar graduate who loves to learn

I am a student attending Central Washington University, completing programs in Music Composition, Music Education, and Mathematics Education. I have two years of experience with reciprocal peer tutoring in the areas of Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Music. My interdisciplinary experiences help me work with students from diverse and unique academic backgrounds, and enable me to present material in a variety of different ways. Most importantly, I believe in fostering a love for learning.

...on a degree emphasizing statistics, computer science, and biology. I enjoy working with students of all ages to find strategies to help them learn better and prepare for taking the next step with their education. I have a diverse background in many fields, including 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...

I love to learn and helping people with their challenges in learning is my goal. The highest privilege is being able to influence people. People learn when they are having fun. I want to make learning fun. I have spent 20 years training people on new computer software and workflow. I have great tips and tricks and relate subjects back to students' interests. I enjoy working with business subjects.

...could easily excel in standardized tests. After a summer teaching English in China and a whole school year as an active teaching assistant (personalized tutoring and lab instruction), I hope to continue my involvement with tutoring at Varsity Tutors! I've had extensive experience with Speech and Debate throughout high school, which not only helped me with my communication skills but also taught me how to be an organized and analytical student. Despite having a fierce...

There is a special happiness when you understand something for the first time. This happiness is only surpassed by the happiness who you teach it to someone. I would like to share that experience with you. I have a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from a top 10 school and if I can understand it, so can you.

...excluding my first one. I only need to complete my two capstones and take three more course requirements for the Computer Science degree. I pick up analytical skills quickly and love helping people, particularly in Mathematics and Computer Science, since I pick up knowledge in those categories rather quickly. I have extensive experience assisting classmates with course material. I find it enjoyable both because I like helping others, and it allows me to find any...

I have been teaching students for the past 5 years, and assisting teaching for longer. Whether it be academics or martial arts I have found that I thrive when able to help others learn and grow. Being a college student has only furthered this as I transitioned from tutoring to becoming a TA for my peers. I have worked with students as young as 4 and even adults in their 60s.

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.

...know each kiddo so I can customize their learning. I relate to kids and their parents incredibly well. I built my long teaching career on the power of positive relationships and it paid great dividends for me, as well as my students. Because I had such strong bonds with students, administration usually gave me students that were considered difficult. I am patient, kind, empathetic, positive, fun and persistent. As a student, I was pretty bored...

...always will be putting students first. No matter what a district will demand, my students come first. When a students mental health is addressed and answered for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has...

I believe teaching is the best way to learn. With a Master's degree in Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University and 10 years of professional experience, I still feel there is much to learn in programming. I enjoy teaching and I feel accomplished if in conveying the knowledge effectively.

...in its own right. You learn best when the problem at hand feels relevant to something you care about. With 6 years as 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...

I'm a recent graduate of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR where I double majored in Physics and in Math. I've taught classes at Lewis & Clark and tutored local high school kids. I love learning new things and helping other people do the same.

Current Masters student studying Education and working towards licensure! I am applying for primary education because I feel I have the potential to inspire and encourage children of all abilities to reach their full potential, as well as inspire life long learners.

...groups in both undergraduate and graduate school (in addition to high school). I also took some elective courses with the specific purpose of tutoring. My most fulfilling tutoring experiences involve my son (now 14), and two nieces. As for my education, I graduated from high school in 1998 and began with earning an engineering degree in computer science. I then chose to start a family and had my son when I was 24. Once he...

...level for over 30 years, and am currently teaching at one. I've taught the following classes between 5 and 20 times each: elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, college algebra, pre-calculus, calculus I, calculus II, and statistics. I enjoy the lecture part of teaching but, really, the best part of the job is working with my students one-on-one, getting to know them and really addressing what each needs to succeed in their studies. I'd love to work...

...experience teaching computer science and designing curricula. When teaching computer science concepts, I am big on drawing pictures and diagrams in order to explain things. I find that thinking about abstract concepts is easier with a concrete spatial representation right in front of me--perhaps you do too! In college I also took many writing-heavy humanities courses, hence I am also available for English tutoring. I treat my tutoring sessions less like lectures and more like...

...simple thing: Inspiration! I not only want to guide students in coding practices, but also to inspire their ambition and passion to pursue knowledge, and use it to developing their dream games and projects. I like to take a personalized approach with my lessons - even in a group teaching setting, I like to tailor lessons in a way that allows students to follow the lesson plan while putting in their own personal touches along...

...assistant while I attend Portland Community College full time. My current studies are Calculus III, Advanced C++, and Discrete Data Structures. I'm on my third year towards a BA in Computer Science at Portland State University. I may refine my program, likely to network administration, or software architecture. A portion of my schooling was at College of Southern Idaho in 2009-2010, where I tutored for the school in the math lab (calculus mostly). I moved...
