I grew up in a family that valued education, with a mother who is now a retired teacher. I have worked with all age groups in a variety of educational settings since I was a teen. I just love interacting with kids and teens and helping them learn. I have had the pleasure of seeing so many students either get excited over learning something new and having their world open up that much more or having a student finally have the a-ha moment when a difficult topic suddenly makes sense. I look forward to working with you and your family to achieve your learning and education goals.

The thing that makes me a great tutor is the fact that I don't give direct answers. I work with the student and what they know, and we build on that knowledge to answer his or her question. This way of tutoring helps him or her to become more self-sufficient and capable of doing these problems and reasoning the problems out for himself or herself in the future.

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Optics & Applied Physics from the University of Rochester as well as an MBA in Finance from New York University. As part of my graduate studies, I was a teaching assistant for classes in Experimental Optics and Laser Physics, where I led recitations and graded coursework. My career as an engineer right out of college was spent as a scientist on Eastman Kodak's design team working on NASA's Chandra X-Ray orbiting telescope. I switched gears after a few years and entered Wall Street as a researcher and trader for various banks, brokerages, and hedge funds.I am a tutor for the following subjects for both children and adults: Elementary Math, Middle School Math, Algebra (all levels) and Business & Finance. At each place I have worked, it has been part of my job to teach and mentor junior members of our teams. I have always enjoyed this aspect of my duties, and I now have the opportunity to teach on a more formal basis. I believe my differentiating quality as a tutor comes from the fact that I have a vast amount of real-world experience in a number of different fields. As such, I know exactly why different concepts are important to master, beyond just being able to pass tests and how they are used in real life. This is important because I believe it is critical for a student to understand why they are leaning something, and ask, "Why do I need to know how to solve for X?" Without this motivation, learning becomes rote memorization and the interest level falls to the point where learning becomes difficult.I look forward to helping you or your child succeed in learning the concepts they need to succeed both in school and in life.

I have entered the PA profession as a second career. I was a teacher before transitioning into medicine and find tutoring a great way to tie both of my careers together! I graduated from Duke University PA school and passed my PANCE following a 2.5 week study plan and a few excellent resources. I am now heading into an Acute Care Fellowship.I would love to share my knowledge and study tips to help you feel confident going into the biggest test of your career. I know it can be incredibly stressful and so I am here to help solidify your learning and boost your confidence.

I am a graduate of Oregon State University. I received my Master of Arts in English (Literature and Culture) with a focus on 20th Century American Literature. I received my Master of Education from the University of Sioux Falls. Additionally, I earned a double major (English and Theatre) from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Throughout these varying programs, I have sought opportunities to tutor students. From one-on-one mentoring of middle school sltudents, to small classroom work at the Refugee and Immigration Center, I have experience working with students of varying backgrounds and goals. Additionally, I have earned certification in English and Theatre subjects for grades 7-12. Currently, I teach middle and high school drama as well as 9th grade English. I am most passionate about the humanities; however, I tutor in a broad range of subjects. Along my educational path, various people tutored and mentored me in order to push my academic performance. I aim to assist you achieve your desired goals.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, sports, fitness, and daily adventures.

I love teaching others about my favorite subjects. I'm especially passionate about math and science and work in a research lab at Oregon Health and Sciences University. I love helping students do well on tests such as the ACT, SAT, SSAT and the HSPT especially. I am attending Johns Hopkins University and majoring in Biomedical Engineering.

After obtaining my Bachelor's Degree, I took graduate classes in Education to obtain my lifetime teaching credential in California. I was a classroom teacher for 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and ESL students full time and then I have been a Substitute Teacher for many years grades K - 12.In addition I received my TEFL Certificate in Spain and taught English to all age students in Spain and Mexico. Working with all ages, 5 years to adult, gave me much experience tutoring and enabled me to tailor my lessons to each individual.I have graduate courses in Reading and also in ESL. I enjoy teaching Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Math but my passion is English! Grammar, speaking, comprehension, and playing games to reinforce many skills is important. I am very upbeat, friendly, caring, and try to make learning fun for my students.I love to travel (my picture was taken in Mexico), paint watercolors, garden, snow ski, and take care of my two cats and two dogs. They make me laugh and enjoy life more! The saying 'More wag, less bark' says my viewpoint easily in regards to tutoring. A smile and a caring attitude goes a long way to help students overcome negative attitudes and poor skills.

I am a certified HR professional with 10 years of experience across a wide range of specializations including employee relations, leaves of absence, multi-state payroll operations, and legal immigration. I am a graduate of Yale University, with a passion for helping students gain admission to their college of choice through admissions essay review and feedback.My teaching style involves learning new concepts by way of real life examples and scenarios, good humor, and a no-stupid-questions mindset. I always encourage my students to pursue the manner of learning they find most interesting and natural.

I am a graduate of Linfield College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a focus on nature literature and rhetoric. I also received a minor in Psychology. In my spare time I read, focusing on personal development, and spend as much time as possible with my strong wife. I also hike, exercise, write and spend time with my family. Some of my favorite moments during my education were working one on one with students to not only help improve their writing, but to improve their thinking and the way they analyze the world. Teaching is a huge passion for me. I found this to be my calling as I retired from collegiate football with an injury and began to coach and help create Linfield College's football training program. Through this experience, my love for helping people learn and to eventually become teachers in their own right blossomed. While I specifically tutor writing (from MLA to APA formatting and styles) my tutoring style focuses on creating independent and critical thinkers. My hope and goal is for you to leave one of my tutoring sessions not feeling like you have been told everything you have done wrong, but to have been challenged to take ownership of your learning, writing and ultimately your thinking. I don't want perfect students. Rather, I want to tutor students with passions and curiosities, who aren't afraid to work on their weaknesses and have a hunger for learning and thinking outside the box. My firm belief remains that as you become a better writer you will become a better thinker, a better member of our society and ultimately a stronger person as a result. If you are reading this, you have already distinguished yourself as someone who seeks help and wants to become better. Successful people are not fearless, but instead they stand up and face their fears and move forward. Seeking help is often a frightening experience, especially in the arena of writing. This being said, I encourage you to come to our sessions brandishing your weaknesses, proud of your strengths, and hungry to improve.
