Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

...how to overcome obstacles that are both pre-existing and, perhaps more importantly, that we create for ourselves. An important part of my approach to working with students is first identifying whether the student's main challenge is one of content, strategy, or mindset. We can then work from there to give attention to the areas that need the most strengthening, creating a unique plan of action that will lead to success. Commonly, issues of focus, confidence,...

...district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored students from 1st grade to college in many different academic subjects, and always continued to tutor the SAT as well.

...Spanish. Throughout high school, I TA'd Hebrew, Jewish American History, and Torah studies at Sunday school. I spent every summer working at summer camps, where I helped teach science and art history. In college, I tutored French and American Politics.

...two capstones and take three more course requirements for the Computer Science degree. I pick up analytical skills quickly and love helping people, particularly in Mathematics and Computer Science, since I pick up knowledge in those categories rather quickly.

I generally...

...material on your own. Someone can tell you how to answer a problem, but the student will only progress when they can reach the solution on their own. I enjoy patiently helping a student discover their own path to the answer. With someone to help out if the student deviates from the right direction, I believe each and every student can achieve their learning goals. Since graduating from Connecticut College in 2010, I have worked...

...never strictly worked as a tutor, I tutored undergraduates as part of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society while at the University of Portland, and this past year was a TA for a statics & solid mechanics class at Stanford, which included holding office hours for students to help with homework and test prep. I have the most experience tutoring lower division engineering classes such as this (physics, statics, strength of materials, mechanics) but...

...Society. This made me realize how rewarding it can be to help others to understand a topic with which they may be struggling. Overall, my exceptional academic abilities, combined with my experience instructing young learners, make me an outstanding tutor. My general tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to be as hands-on as possible in the learning process. Psychology shows that learning is much more efficient if you exercise your own neural pathways through...

I am passionate about tutoring because I believe that the pursuit of education and knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors that anyone can embark upon. I have experience in tutoring peers and younger students throughout my academic career, and enjoy working with learners of all ages.

...and High School Literature and Composition classes. I am looking forward to helping your child improve their skills in reading comprehension and fluency as well as writing across content areas.

If you do not...

...at the college level for the past 7 years. My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The second most exciting thing about mathematics is that moment when something totally opaque and confusing suddenly solidifies into crystal clarity. It's the sort of moment that makes you...
