Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

Hello there. I am a certified teacher with a conglomerate of experience. Among my professional experiences, I have worked with all ages in various capacities, most recently teaching math intervention at the middle school level. I am a trained professional, but also consider teaching to be among my natural abilities and something that I love doing.... I believe in reaching the heart before reaching the mind. If students know I care, they will be more likely...

...worked with students who had failed algebra in the past. When they were allowed individual attention and the chance to take tests when they were ready, many excelled. I also was the only student to tutor after school among teachers. (Since I graduated, the school has created a designated program for high-performing students to do the same.) Now I attend Reed College full time as an English major. Unsurprisingly, English is my favorite subject to...

My hope is to help achieve the goals of students and parents alike in facilitating the understanding of concepts and information that are being studied.

...on being a Mathematics teacher. During my undergrad I worked as a tutor both privately, as well as employed by Portland Community College. During this time I worked with a wide variety of students ranging from 16-50 years of age, and developed strong tutoring, communication, and critical thinking skills and strategies that have been very useful for students who struggle with Mathematics courses. My favorite subject to tutor is Mathematics, primarily Calculus, Differential Equations, and...

I then moved up to Portland and attended the Graduate Teacher Education Program at Portland State University.

I did my student teaching in 3rd and 5th grades,...

I have been tutoring Computer Science at Portland State University for the last 4 years, and have found it to be incredibly rewarding. I work very well with individuals on a one-to-one basis, particularly with identifying gaps in knowledge, and using multiple learning styles to help fill those gaps. I am also very patient, and good at working at the students pace.

...for a semester in Madrid, and was the co-chair of my major committee. With a faculty member in the physics department, I worked on a project analyzing the intersection of physics education, cognitive science, and contemplative practice (e.g., meditation). My senior thesis was a critical evaluation of the goals and results of neuroimaging studies purportedly studying "the self." Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for the learning process. I enjoy...

...degree in Human Development and Family Sciences and Bilingual Elementary Education. I am completely fluent (reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension) in English and Spanish due to the incredible opportunity I had of living and studying overseas in Venezuela for most of my elementary school years. I have had much experience working with students all ages: tutoring for student athletes here at OSU, organizing and leading study groups for my high school peers as we prepared...

...in the program at OHSU here in Portland. My experience teaching is wide-spread and varied. I have done everything from teaching English in Thailand to 8th and 9th graders to teaching college-level EMT classes. Including coaching positions, I have approximately 7 years teaching experience. My experiences have taught me that every person learns differently and that the key to successful learning comes from a mutual understanding of a given pupil's ideal academic style. To this...

A core belief that drives me is that I have an inexhaustible hope that everyone is capable of improvement.My recent career history consists primarily of mental health service and care provider experience, although I plan to one day enter into a career involving teaching or therapy. I would characterize my tutoring style as patient, collaborative, resourceful/creative and optimistic. For fun I...

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 enjoy working with business subjects.

...peers one on one. I always love a good aha! moment where I can really tell that the subject matter is clicking. I take personal pride in watching my students learn. Most of my experience is in tutoring for high school and college level math and music. I also have experience assisting with high school Spanish. When I teach I try to help students fully understand the concepts and logic behind subjects. This way they...

...world and helping others to do the same. However, my first love was science and math. I tutored college statistics and freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate...
