Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors serving Beaverton, OR

...sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you are so inclined. But you want to just chill and have homework help? That's quite all right,...

...and feeling less than, or unintelligent when I didn't understand a concept. It wasn't until I worked with a tutor myself that I understood that my learning style didn't match up with some of my professors' teaching styles. It's just too bad that it took me until college to realize it. Teaching a large class, even one that seems smaller (30-40 students), is incredibly difficult when everyone learns in a different way. Usually professors and...

...into the tapestry of life. Some of my favorite topics to study in science are special relativity, astronomy, artificial intelligence, and molecular biology. I also enjoy creating music and art, and reading good literature. I am currently reading books by Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott.

I became a tutor to serve that role for other students like me. Whether your goal is to complete...

Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a...

I have been an athlete all of my life, and a coach for most--I have a coaching mentality and bring it to tutoring...I like to think I am a pretty nice coach ;) I'll try my best to bring as many tools to the table as possible, so we can work as a team to work through any problem that may arise.

...My philosophy is each child has a unique way to learn. Some children are auditory learners, some are visual learners, and others are a combination of both. It is easy to learn in an environment that makes children curious and not afraid to take chances. Children need to use their mental abilities and social skills, take what they learned, and apply it to life learning. A teacher is to guide and help them but not...

...in an honors fraternity that I was a part of at CU. We didn't get to know each other until we both ended up in the same genetics class, where I was trying to build coursework for what I thought would be medical school. In a rather unusual turn of events, medical school ended up turning into graduate school in medical physics. I am currently a medical physics student at Oregon Health and Sciences University...

...worked for that student service center for 4 years. Our math lab was a community center style tutoring lab, no signing in or making appointments, in fact, no doors to our space at all! We had an enourmous volume of students from pre algebra all the way through calculus come through our constantly crowded lab, and hence have a 4 year tutoring marathon under my belt! Also employed by 4 other tutoring orginizations, I have...

...it's algebra, chemistry, biology or writing. I get particularly excited when it's time to talk science! Everywhere you look is something new end fantastic. I do bring this enthusiasm into session, and default to drawing out participation with questions, (What would happen if we changed this? What does this term mean to you? Why do you think we are learning this?) Learning is an active process, but it certainly shouldn't be a chore; the world...

I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing.

I am tutoring for Varsity Tutors in hopes that I can continue to practice my problem solving skills...
