Dylan
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am known among friends for my love of puzzles, riddles, word problems, and mathematical challenges. I have a deep knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus and a passion for teaching it. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish. While foundational vocab and grammar are important, I emphasize speaking and encourage my students to take risks. I believe embracing discomfort is critical to learning a language. Spanish has helped me to travel and live in different communities throughout the world. I strive to kindle a similar appreciation and passion for language in my students.

I look forward to working with you!

Tyler
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a graduate of Luther College, a liberal arts school in Decorah, IA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Religion, with a minor in Social Welfare. Throughout college, I tutored many students in high school and college level math. I loved the process of helping people through math problems, so after graduating I served in the MN Math Corps as a Math Enrichment Tutor, where I learned research based teaching methods to tutor middle school students who were below proficiency in math. Currently, I am certified to tutor a broad range of math subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus, as well as ACT Math and GRE Math/Verbal test prep. Through my experience, I've found that the best method of tutoring is to tailor it to each student's learning style (every concept can be taught/understood in multiple ways), and make sure the student actually understands what he/she is doing versus just learning equations and methods to complete assignments. I am very passionate about tutoring math as I love empowering people, and I believe mathematics is a vital subject to learn and understand. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a data analyst for a market research firm near Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up on current events, reading (I love Harry Potter and Hunger Games!), Ultimate Frisbee, playing guitar and piano, and learning economics.

Oregon has specific learning standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies that students need to master. Tutors work with Salem students to strengthen foundational skills, close learning gaps, and build confidence in areas where they're struggling—whether that's meeting grade-level benchmarks or preparing for state assessments. Personalized instruction helps students progress at their own pace rather than getting left behind in a classroom with a 22:1 student-teacher ratio.

Many students also benefit from tutoring in foreign languages, social studies, and writing skills. Varsity Tutors connects Salem students with tutors who specialize in their specific subject and grade level.
The first session is focused on understanding your student's learning style, current strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will ask about their goals—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, preparing for a specific test, or mastering challenging concepts—and develop a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure that every session after that is targeted and effective.
Varsity Tutors connects Salem students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience.
