Award-Winning High School Chemistry Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...discriminate and interpret the information with which they are bombarded everyday from a variety of sources. I want to show them that science is not a static body of knowledge to be memorized, but a growing and changing way of understanding our selves and our world. I try approach concepts by modeling how scientists collect data about a subject and then use it to develop theories that can explain their observations. I always emphasize that...

...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. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my favorite is Geology because it allows me to always be connected to what happens around me. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, reading, running, swimming, and hiking. I love...

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.

...I love learning about the world and helping others to do the same. However, my first love was science and math. I tutored college statistics and freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers...

In teaching chemistry, I believe in fostering a deep understanding of the fundamental principles through hands-on experimentation and real-world applications. I aim to cultivate critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities in my students, equipping them with the tools to approach complex chemical concepts with confidence. By creating a supportive and interactive learning environment, I strive to ignite curiosity and passion for the subject, empowering students to become lifelong learners in the field of chemistry.

Hello! I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon and the Robert D. Clark Honors college. I studied neuroscience and entrepreneurship while graduating with magna cum laude. Currently, I am pursuing a masters in social and cultural psychology with an emphasis in political psychology.

...accounting. I have conducted Math and English after school intervention programs and helped kids who were at risk of academic failure. I took it as a challenge and helped all those kids succeed. English & Math are the foundational subjects. Children who develop a strong background in those subjects in their elementary years are better prepared for Middle & High school. Teaching helping elementary school kids is my greatest passion! Learning is my passion. I...

...validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you back and let what you say sink in.

Hi! My name is Mason and I am currently a medical student at OHSU. I have been tutoring for 10 years, and worked throughout college as a math tutor. I've been living in Portland for two years, and am a Oregon native, growing up in Bend. When I am not in school I enjoy spending time outside hiking and running.

...I try to listen to my students and approach their lessons with the lens which fits them best. I love big concepts and like to connect simple skills to the larger picture in a way that stops anyone from coming from a lesson saying "Why should I learn this?". No matter how old they are, or whether they are passionate about the subject, learning is a joy and I hope to impart that lesson above...

...Teaching from Pacific University. I then worked for two years at a local high school teaching biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. I taught all high school ages from grade 9 through grade 12. I love working with students to understand science topics, in the specific ways they learn. I have taught both online and in-person during my carreer and am adept at using technology to help students learn. I am excited to help your...

...including AP Physics B, 1 and 2. Despite the fact that my students come from a Title 1 school and many of them are first generation college students, they consistently beat state and national averages with their AP Physics scores. I have attended five AP Summer Institute programs in Physics and I am an official AP Reader, which means I am one of the teachers who grades the AP Physics exams. Outside of school I...

...learning styles to meet their individual needs. Because some students can learn better by using visual aids, hands-on activities, and group work. Encouraging students to think critically and develop problem-solving skills like open-ended questions, encouraging students to ask questions, and providing opportunities for students to apply what they have learned in real-world contexts. Managing student behavior by setting clear expectations, providing positive reinforcement for good behavior, and addressing negative behavior in a constructive and respectful...

...I like to first focus on problem-solving strategies. That is, I like to discuss the best way to look at a question or problem and how to break it down into a familiar, more approachable format. While there a several topics where I believe I can help, including general chemistry, astronomy, and math up through Calculus III and Linear Algebra, I enjoy talking about Calculus and Physical Chemistry the most. I have been involved in...

...favorite subject to tutor. I love the challenge of close reading, editing essays and discussing novels. I can even help dissect poems! In addition, I took all my science courses (and the MCAT) very recently so Chemistry, Biology and Biochemistry are all fresh in my mind. I would be happy to help you conquer the MCAT, particularly the Verbal Reasoning section. When I am not at school I love to be outside. I like to...

...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 intellectual growth. The subject I am most passionate about tutoring is mechanics since this is usually a student's first exposure to...

I have a lot of informal experience when it comes to tutoring and have been able to help a lot of my friends and fellow classmates through chemistry classes. I can be a great tutor because I can think of things in many different ways which makes it easier to teach...

...in math and physics and enjoy employing many different methods of learning, such as 3D models, folding paper, Mathematica graphs and simulations, and physician demonstrations. My favorite subject to teach is literature, with physics and mathematics close seconds. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as follows: Learning should be fun. People learn at different rates and in different ways. Teaching and learning should be flexible and made to fit the student. It's good to...

I'm a long-time Portland resident who has worked on a lot of cool projects in healthcare as an engineer, often helping grad students with their projects. I like flying my Phantom quad when its not raining and indoor soccer when it is.

I believe that any student can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual. I try to uncover the different ways each student learns and present information in ways that make more sense to each student. I always try to make learning personal....
