Award-Winning HSPT Tutors in Hillsboro, OR

...My intent, when tutoring, is to responsively connect with students, so that they can engage in understanding their subject and acquire learning tools to attack new material confidently. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Math, and Social Studies. Studying U.S. and World History is a personal passion; delving into STEM topics, such as 3D printing, microbiology, and chemistry, is a self-educating goal. I believe education is inspiring the desire to engage in learning, then,...

...once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think. The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show you the tricks that DID work for me, but I can also help you find the tricks that WILL work for you. The test prep books, and the cookie-cutter classrooms, must remain generic so that they can work, at least on some level, for all of the students...

...teach grades K-8 (K-12 for special education). I have been a full-time teacher for the past seven years and have been working in the education field for over ten years. I have taught students ranging in grades from kindergarten through 8th grade. Every school year I have tutored students before and after school and have enjoyed being able to celebrate with students as they experience their hard work and dedication, outside of school, pay off...

...well. On my own time, I explore a wide range of hobbies: hiking & backpacking, cooking, writing, reading, and bicycling to name a few. More than anything, I think it essential to stay curious. I encourage my students to stay curious by modeling a life of curiosity. I am based out of the North Portland area and can happily meet you in a public space or your own residence. Best of luck in your search...

...peer tutor in math and science at my high school and as a volunteer tutor at the Blacow Elementary School. I believe that the best way for students to learn a subject is for them to enjoy what they are learning. As a tutor, I will work as hard as I can to make sure that my students enjoy what they are learning. I understand the importance of being patient with my students and taking...

...to learn. I want other students to feel the same passion for learning and have the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that I get when I do well in a class because of my hard work. I believe that any student that is determined enough and is given sufficient one-on-one attention can succeed in any subject that is troubling him or her. I enjoy being part of this process. I truly hope my passion for...

...love helping others with math and getting a glimpse of how different students learn. Too many times in math courses, students are overloaded with definitions and theorems and sent off to apply them alone. I understand that not everyone can read math and sometimes need to see math in use in order to understand a concept well. I'm all about learning, rather than memorizing. Math builds on itself so if a concept is simply memorized,...

...and Sociology. In 2011, I received my California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. I have been working in classrooms, providing academic support, since 2004. I have extensive experience working with individuals with special needs, from moderate to severe, and the gifted population. I am highly adept in tailoring education to fit each learner's needs, while maximizing output, motivation, and self-confidence. I sincerely enjoy working with children, listening to their stories, and sharing a laugh as I...

I am also trained in Educational Coaching and general homework skills for students from 6th grade on. In addition, I have specialized in children with various learning differences, as a large portion of my previous company's client referrals come from educational psychologists. As such, I've predominately worked with...
