Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Vancouver, WA

...game. As an HIV vaccine researcher for several years, I was taught many obscure facts and techniques. As a specialist in assay development (making up new experiments), I created even more. All of these techniques and ideas had to be passed on to the next generation of researchers, so I spent much of my time developing techniques to teach topics on which my pupil knows little to nothing to begin. Further, this information had to...

...concepts, but watching their levels of confidence grow and attitudes about their abilities change. These kinds of shifts in attitude and confidence are not limited to the way a student looks at math, but extend to every aspect of their life. A student's belief in their own capabilities can change everything. When I am not teaching, I can usually be found with a book, in the presence of music, traveling, or doing all three simultaneously.

...learning. When students are happy, safe, and enjoying their tasks, they acquire new information much more quickly and easily. It is my mission to always create this environment with my students and those I tutor. I have experience tutoring both elementary and middle school students in all subjects and have done this privately for many years. When I am not teaching you can find me reading, hiking, running, or playing with my son.... I believe that...

...academia, and professional life. I have taught project management classes as well as classes about the benefits of my current employers to new employees at all levels. I have mentored many in my professional life. Yet, I believe teaching the young is as rewarding as mentoring my professional colleagues. It is my way of giving back and investing in the upcoming leaders of our society. My favorite subjects to tutor are Mathematics, Statistics, Project Management,...

...some substitute teaching in grades K-8. I worked as a paraprofessional in a significant needs program at an elementary school, and have taught 7th and 8th grades at an online school. I value education, and believe in teaching students how to seek out the answers, rather than just providing the answers for them. Every person is capable of learning, and one of my favorite things as a teacher is seeing the light in a student's...

...to college level math at Clackamas Community College for a year, and have done private tutoring since. I have a lot of experience teaching people with vastly different learning styles, and enjoy helping people learn and understand new information. My teaching focus is primarily on helping the student gain a deep understanding of the material as well as an understanding of how to think about and approach new information or problems in the future.... My philosophy...

...My areas of focus are science, math, writing, english, and Spanish. Learning has always been my number one passion in life, and I can't wait to share that passion with my clients. My goal as a tutor is to not only help my clients learn their subject matter, but also improve their confidence by reinforcing the value of improving on their academic weaknesses. In my opinion intellectual growth occurs when the student is challenged, not...

...hundreds of students. Additionally, I have worked with kids as young as elementary school up to adults to understand algebra, arithmetic, geometry and calculus in English as well as in Spanish. I am also equipped to tutor beginning and intermediate Spanish learners. As a tutor, I consider the student's prior knowledge of subject matter as well as his/her strengths, and difficulties when approaching a manner of instruction. Moving at a slow rate, I provide explanations...

...hard to 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...

...put words on paper. To learn to write well requires ongoing, detailed feedback from teachers who often have a student load of over 100 kids and simply don't have the time to provide such feedback.

I can work with you on an ongoing basis, giving you constructive feedback and useful suggestions to help you express your thoughts in an effective and impact-full manner, while using proper writing conventions, grammar,...

...getting better 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...

...consistent logic that is fundamental to these to these topics. I am confident I can help any student grasp difficult math concepts. I take a systematic, analytical approach to most effectively and efficiently improve the mathematic and/or scientific ability of my clients. In doing this, I follow a four-step process: 1) identify the specific, problematic concepts 2) develop teaching strategies tailored to the student's age level and personality 3) work through the concepts with the...

...learner has a certain propensity to learn how they feel most comfortable; some are visual learners while others need to do hands-on activities. I try to tailor my lessons to the strengths of my students so that they feel comfortable. I always encourage the learner to ask questions and be an active student throughout the session. I believe that education is the backbone to a healthy life, community, and makes for a better world. In...
