David
ACT Math Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a math teacher at King's Way High School in Vancouver, WA. In 2016, I earned my B.A. in Mathematics and Russian from Portland State University (PSU). In 2017, I got my Masters in Education, also from PSU. This 2017-2018 school year will be my first year of teaching, and I am very excited to begin my career as an educator. I came into this field because I believe that my strength is my ability to present and explain math in a way that's easy to grasp and appreciate. Anybody can copy and paste the formulas onto the blackboard or screen, but not everybody can take a seemingly complicated subject and break it down into simple, understandable terms. In my practice, I want to make it my mission to make math interesting and engaging for all students.In my previous experiences working as a tutor, I've realized that I'm not only teaching; I'm also continually learning. I look forward to learning with and from my students by applying the knowledge and skills I learn to make an impact in all areas of their lives.

Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +8 Subjects
I reclaim the ability of teaching as the dimension of power to cultivate the lives of adult minds, prospective students,and executive professionals. Education as a purpose and a passion has become second nature to me as I have thegreatest opportunity to empower those around me, showing where education can conclude. Being able to serveothers while still advancing my education is one of the best ways to use student minds to help the placement of newdimensions of educational platforms. Utilizing the capability of technology as a basic reference, I have been able toembrace all aspects of education by a preference rather than a negative choice. This has given me the optimisticability to become empowered with education and technology. Implementing these materials into the society ofprofessional learners gives each student the ability to see change within their professional and educational life.Using my ability as a person of color and as a facilitator for education and navigator, it is my intention to enhancethe learning spectrum as a transformative experience in the professional and the educational world. Ideally, when astudent transforms into further education, they are taking on the responsibility of seeking out knowledge. Personally,the student wants to feel changed by the professor's assistance and the course materials. I bring the benefits of beingan accomplished diverse professional in the business and academic fields towards the higher education profession. Ibelieve that based on my management, experience, publications, and graduate credit hours, I could be qualified forthis position in higher education.

Ryan
Algebra Tutor • +63 Subjects
I'm a graduate student working on a degree emphasizing statistics, computer science, and biology. I enjoy working with students of all ages to find strategies to help them learn better and prepare for taking the next step with their education. I have a diverse background in many fields, including writing, music, biology, and mathematics. I've worked as a graduate school TA and been responsible for designing lectures at the graduate level. I've worked abroad and within the United States with language learners hoping to increase their mastery of English. I look forward to finding a way to find how you learn best for yourself, in the hope that you can apply what you learn over an entire lifetime and not just on this week's test.

Luke
ACT English Tutor • +13 Subjects
Ever since I first read 'Green Eggs and Ham' on my own, the English language has been my preferred subject of interest. From young excursions into the world of Brian Jacques' Redwall, my fascination for the written word grew into an obsession when I pursued as many English electives as I could in high school and, thereafter, a BA in English Honors at the University of British Columbia. Acceptance into my program of choice was no easy feat, nor could it have been predicted. At the beginning of my first year of university, I nearly failed my first two major essays. Newly apparent to me was that I could not survive off of passion alone. It was thanks to my then-tutor that I was able to apply myself and achieve a higher level of success. That experience has also provided me with the opportunity to translate my hard-earned lessons to those in need.Besides my voracious appetite for reading, I am a writer of nearly ten years. In this realm, I have focused mainly on short fiction stories as well as the odd novel. In another life I also taught yoga regularly for a year, a discipline in which I learned to teach from my own experience and convey myself in front of large audiences.
