Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors serving Hillsboro, OR

Hello! My name is Chase and I'm currently a junior at PSU majoring in Physics. I've always enjoyed helping people who are struggling with math and science. It's challenged me to articulate complicated ideas in the form of analogies that tie together abstract concepts and real world experiences. I strongly believe that science and math are subjects that should be understood, and not feared!

...year and I have been tutoring math and physics for the past 4 years. While contemplating career options, I realized that the highlight of my day was always my tutoring shift. Life has been far more enriching with both an education and the opportunity to assist others with their education. Additionally, the world we are entering is more demanding of critical thinking skills than ever, so it would be remiss of us not to emphasize...

...it is interesting and gives me an appreciation in the time period that I am living in, in certain hardships that I didn't have to deal with that people had to deal with in past time periods. It gives me appreciation of what I have and helps me in not behaving and thinking a certain way that people behaved in past time periods. I like to tutor math in that it is fun and interesting...

...Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a minor in Politics and Government. I started tutoring with the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society while in college. Subjects that I tutored included calculus, chemistry (AP and introductory), organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry. I particularly enjoy tutoring introductory chemistry because I find that the broad range of topics covered offers many different opportunities to find chemistry examples in everyday life! I think that to love and...

...B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Spanish and my B.A. in Psychology. While at University of Portland, I was recommended by professors to serve as a tutor in biology, chemistry, and neuroscience courses for four years. Additionally, at University of Portland I worked in a neuroscience laboratory investigating neurologic correlates of depression and addiction. Currently, I work in the emergency room and am in the process of applying to medical school. My favorite...

...the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering. Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all levels of...

...Bachelor's of Science in Biology. I am pursuing a certification in Medical Laboratory Technology in the next few years. I can tutor all subjects, but I am skilled and passionate about math and science. I received high grades in all of my math and science courses in college and often helped my peers with homework and studying. I feel that I am a good teacher because I am patient and communicative, especially when working with...

...and persuasive styles) - Physics and Natural Sciences - Mathematics (pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, etc.) - Computer Science and Engineering - General test preparation, especially ACT, PSAT and SAT - Developing good study habits Of these, philosophy is my favorite subject by far. I work best with teens and older, have been doing so since about 1990, and am presently an adjunct faculty member at Chemeketa Community College. I prefer to meet...

...material becomes intuitive. I love to approach science problems from multiple angles with students, to increase comprehension and confidence in the material rapidly. I've been a part of two very strong organic chemistry research teams, for a total of about 3 years. I was fortunate to publish the research that I had accomplished while at Western Washington University. (More details about my research are available on my resume/curriculum vitae.) Outside of academia, my passions are:...

...College, with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a minor in Mathematics. While in college, I tutored students ranging from middle-schoolers to college students. I also have experience as a tutor, grader, TA, and editor of educational books, and won several essay prizes while in college. For me, the most important outcome of any tutoring experience -- whether in math, science, English, or something else -- is the improved confidence of the student.

...methods are the ones that fit the way the student learns, and each student learns differently. Finding what works best for each of my students is just the first step in what is hopefully a lasting relationship. Though I like to think of myself as a scientist, in truth I aspire to be a science educator, and plan on attending graduate school to become a teacher. I recently graduated with a B.S. In Environmental Biology and...

I love to learn and helping people with their challenges in learning is my goal. The highest privilege is being able to influence people. People learn when they are having fun. I want to make learning fun. I have spent 20 years training people on new computer software and workflow. I have great tips and tricks and relate subjects back to students' interests. I enjoy working with business subjects.

...degrees from the University of New Mexico. I have also completed a 3-year post doc in theoretical computational chemistry at Washington State University and I now live in Camas, Washington, just across the river from Portland. I have been a teaching assistant multiple times, primarily for a college undergraduate Physical Chemistry for Non-Majors class. I have also been the sole instructor for a math review course for a mixed undergraduates and graduate class. When tutoring...

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...a kindergartner who had gotten sick and missed a large amount of school. I have also taught some select advanced eighth grade chemistry classes guided by a PhD level teacher as volunteer work. I have also volunteered doing grading for an AIG Language Arts teacher which included sixth, seventh, and eighth grade work. I am currently looking to tutor in the following areas: general English, grammar, science, math, middle school writing, middle school math, Pre-Algebra,...

...MS in Geophysics from Brown University. Having grown up in Puerto Rico, I am fluent in both conversational and academic Spanish. Over the past five years, I have taught a variety of physical science courses at the collegiate level to both pre-college, college, and advanced high school students from which I have cultivated a strong student-centered teaching philosophy based on responding to the needs of my students.

...pediatric patients. Upon completion of my PhD, I hope to become a professor so that I can continue my research and teach at the same time. I truly have a passion for teaching and wish to continue that in any capacity. Even though I must split my time between research and teaching, I try to merge the two areas of interest together. In research settings, I am always driven to develop complex solutions to problems...

...explain their observations. I always emphasize that scientists continue to further develop and modify these theories as new data is discovered. I also want my students to understand that I do not have all of the answers for them and they will need to find some of them on their own. They need to be willing and capable enough to do this. When working with math, I attempt to connect concepts to "real world" uses...
