Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

...say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with...

...in science and engineering. As a Tau Beta Pi graduate from an Ivy League university, I recognize that hard work and devotion to your studies will allow you to achieve your goals. I will work with each student to set appropriate learning targets whether s/he is looking to supplement school or learning to prepare for admission exams. As a father of two teenage boys, I understand the challenges that modern life places on family schedules....

...in Computer Science. I've always loved Math and the Sciences: the hunt for the right equation to use, the unravelling of the mystery of the value of x. I want to show my students to see these subjects as I do: as a challenge, not a chore. I try to do this by making things simple and showing straightforward techniques that students can use on their own to sidestep mental walls, thus building confidence. I...

...tutored Biology, Maths, German, and ACT prep. For several summers, I interned at the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech. I served as a camp counselor for the Center's camps. These programs' participants ranged from elementary to high school students. I kept their schedules, interacted with parents, supervised activities, and aided the instructors. Last semester, I also tutored an introductory biology course for non-majors at Kenyon College. I sat...

...Get Ready, which was a free SAT prep program. From these experiences I gained a broad knowledge of how best to tutor people of different ages and backgrounds. I recently took the GRE test and I performed well on the SAT back in high school. I have a strong grasp of the tests and I would say that tutoring the writing/verbal portions of these tests is my strongest suit. I also love reading and writing,...

...stories and learn how to use their own words to tell their own stories. I truly believe that stories make us better people, and I love being able to share the power of stories with children. Outside of academia, youll most likely find me reading a book. I love all types of fiction. Right now I am especially interested in science fiction and fantasy novels. If Im not reading, Im most likely to be found...

...subjects to tutor because I appreciate the consistent logic that is fundamental to these to these topics. I am confident I can help any student grasp difficult math concepts. I take a systematic, analytical approach to most effectively and efficiently improve the mathematic and/or scientific ability of my clients. In doing this, I follow a four-step process: 1) identify the specific, problematic concepts 2) develop teaching strategies tailored to the student's age level and personality...

I love helping my fellow students by breaking down complex ideas into their smaller more easily understood components.
