Award-Winning Differential Equations Tutors in Portland, OR

...previous jobs I also have excellent communication skills as well, so I am very comfortable working with new people. Outside tutoring, I like to spend the majority of my time outdoors, whether it's out on a hike, doing something active, or just relaxing. I'm also an amateur computer programmer, and I like to work on small projects in my spare time. Currently I am working on designing a plane and programming it to fly using...

...background is in Physics and Mathematics and I have many years of experience in the education field. I have a B.S. in Physics, and I am working both towards a Masters of Mathematics and a Teaching Certification, which I plan to complete within a years time. I have tutored students from ages 12 to 60 in math (elementary through Algebra, Geometry, Calculus and Graduate Business Statistics), Physics, Biology, Social Studies, Reading, and even Philosophy. I...

Hello everyone! I love to learn and I love to help others learn. I'm a BS in Physics and I'm confident I can help with any math or physics.... When solving math and physics problems the best place to start is with the fundamentals. Sometimes I have to start with, "So what happens when you let go of your pencil?" Or, "When I divide by ten on this side what do I have to do to the other side?" Oftentimes, students just need someone to help them think about a problem in a methodical way.

...study skills, to history and government, to mathematics and the sciences. My students have enjoyed understanding concepts through problem solving, emphasizing understanding over rote memorization. Since moving up to the northeast, I have taught multiple levels of mathematics at the university level. I have experience in helping students keep up with their studies and well as designing plans to help students advance through material at an accelerated pace. My academic interests are in resource economics...

...Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching...

...make sure the student understands, if they do not I explain it in a different point of view until they understand. After the student understands the concept we will apply it together on problems testing them throughout the way to make sure they understand and are able to do the next problem on their own. In my experience this method was the most helpful in tutoring, although all students have different learning styles and this...

...had finished their practice sets, to help others. I learned then that I had a knack for helping others understand math concepts. I did some tutoring in college and after graduation worked for several tutoring organizations before becoming an actual classroom teacher with Teach For America. Being in the classroom had its challenges and I realized I am more suited to one-on-one interaction with students where I can cater the teaching style to a student's...

...of the most enjoyable things for me. It can be tough and challenging, but satisfying at the same time, like a puzzle with many pieces. I like to be laid back and relaxed, though I highly enjoy teaching others on a one-to-one basis and showing them how math can be useful. Learning and teaching about practical applications or giving real world examples of how math is used or how it is derived can help a...

Good Day! I graduated from Manchester University in 1993 earning a degree in mathematics and education. I earned my masters from University of New England in Educational Leadership. I have taught in both traditional and non-traditional school settings. I have taught everything from sixth grade math through Calculus. I have tutored students from kindergarten through college. During my free time, I enjoy spending time outside, cooking, crocheting, and working out at the gym.... As a teacher, I believe that as things change so must I by being conscious of my students.

...answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful...
