Hello there. I am a certified teacher with a conglomerate of experience.

...for fun in my spare time and enjoy editing essays. I have helped students from various language backgrounds including ESL and strong native speakers. Unlike most English majors, I also love mathematics. By the age of 16, I was in AP Calculus, and feel comfortable teaching all math below what I have taken. Algebra is a strong suit of mine, but I also enjoy trigonometry. I believe that teaching is about building a comfortable but...

...Linear Algebra. I would describe my tutoring style as fun and adaptive. I understand that while a majority of students struggle with Math, making it fun usually helps take away many of these struggles, as well as limits a student from becoming bored or disinterested in the subject.

Every person is capable of learning, and one of my favorite things as a teacher is seeing the light in a student's eyes when...

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.

...at them, and helping others to learn as well. My work as a swim instructor for recalcitrant kiddos, behavioral specialist with young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and adult men in psycho-educational groups have taught me that people learn best when they are intrinsically motivated and feel that they are in the driver's seat of their learning process. As such, my job as a tutor is to support, ask questions, and be a sounding...

...find an approach that is tailored to the student's cognitive needs. I am comfortable tutoring the sciences (especially Anatomy and Physiology), math, French, the arts, literature, and essay writing. I really "geek-out" on biology and A&P because it never ceases to amaze me that the delicate and precise mechanisms that drive our existence came about purely through a long process of statistical expression and deletion of traits. Whenever I manage to remove my self from...

...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.

For fun I enjoy running and triathlons, puzzles/games, karaoke, writing, and reading; I have, in the past,...

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.

...assisting with high school Spanish. When I teach I try to help students fully understand the concepts and logic behind subjects. This way they not only can apply them on a test but they learn useful skills and ways to think and learn. I love learning as well as teaching and look to gain much experience from working with you. In my free time I listen to and play music, shoot hoops, practice yoga, and...

...that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate new discoveries, and the best teachers strive to develop a personal learning strategy for each student so they may succeed themselves. I've served two AmeriCorps service terms after college and recently moved to Portland May 2014 to seek new opportunities. I'm dedicated to helping others and look forward to getting to...
