Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

...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 shout "aha!" or "eureka!". The most exciting thing about mathematics is sharing that experience with someone else.... All too often,...

I have a Master's Degree in Teacher Leadership and a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I have taught sixth grade for five years and look forward to many more to come!

...home to Portland after a two-year teaching engagement in northern Thailand, where I taught a variety of subjects (including Math and Science) to students in grades 5 - 10 in a private international school.

I studied Spanish in high school and college and also spent a year in Madrid where I taught English as a foreign language, (both...

...Math are people who hate Math. I have failed Math classes before and struggled with difficult topics and found my way through. I understand that Math is often the most difficult, confusing, and most frustrating subject for most people. Half of succeeding in Math is knowledge, but the other half is pure confidence. I want to help you through the confusion and set you up to know and believe you can do it. Nothing is better...

...that perspective in mind when I meet with students; my tutoring style is focused on building up from strong foundational principles, rather than drilling material into one ear so it can spill out the other. I'm striving to reach that "aha" moment, when the 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...

...teaching any type of math up to calculus! PreCalc and Calculus were a struggle for me in high school, I wouldn't understand concepts during class and wouldn't go out of my way to get extra help from the teacher or friends. This has driven me to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing difficulties, something I had trouble with in high school. I believe in engaging students actively in...

...school level (5/5 score on AP Calculus AB/BC, took math up to multivariable calculus), French (took 3 years in college, including one year of literature courses conducted in French), and public speaking (co-captain of Sonoma Academy (Santa Rosa, CA) speech team 2012-13). Tutoring Strategy: I employ a tutoring approach in which the student is involved in such a way so that me and the student both work to identify strengths and weaknesses together, and discuss...

...of the subject. I have always had strong mathematical abilities, and feel that I effectively assess and convey the relevant conceptual framework needed to approach problems. Therefore my main subjects are Literature, English, and Mathematics. In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, studying music, and science. I was a student of Chemistry for several years, but then I decided to pursue literature for my degrees. My favorite author is Shakespeare (I have one article...

...general education classrooms. Sharing the educational process with these students, I found a passion that would lead me to pursue my master's degree. Since entering the classroom as a teacher, I have primarily taught English Language Arts at the middle and high school levels. I student-taught in the Portland area during my certification process before taking a job teaching middle school students in Glendale, Arizona. I currently teach in Vancouver at a STEM magnet program;...

I have had to grow my own employees everywhere I have gone working mostly with students and entry-level employees. I have done with patience, teaching, providing...

...about teaching I am involved in working as a part time tutor. I have taught math from algebra, geometry to calculus II and difference equations. Teaching is not just passing the knowledge but inspiring students to learn and to be a problem solver. I also taught my three sons in their Math courses from middle school to high school. Michael graduated from Oxford University in UK, Fred and Felix are college students in Williams College...

...agency and product I started freelancing at home for select clients. During this time I have been working at my local Elementary School as a substitute teacher helping in classrooms and small groups with content support. I found my love for teaching and combining that with my passion for computer science.

I am a computer scientist and mathematician with a passion for STEM disciplines. Sharing my passion and knowledge with others brings me great joy and a sense of purpose and community. Teaching is both a science and an art form, and catering to different learning styles is a strength of mine.

...State University. My Master of Education degree is from Grand Canyon University with an advanced mathematics endorsement. Math has a massive effect on student self-esteem. When students believe the negative narrative of being bad at math, their confidence level drops, and math anxiety develops. It is my passion to come alongside students and help them believe they are capable of learning difficult math concepts. My teaching philosophy is that through consistency and diligence, every student...

...sense. They should further be able to remember how they came to understand it, and be able to communicate this to the student. If the student still does not understand, a great teacher will find a way to communicate it in a way that the student will. I became a language teacher, not because I have any prodigious talent for learning foreign languages, but because of the satisfaction that I have found in seeing my...

...I get particularly excited when it's time to talk science! Everywhere you look is something new end fantastic. I do bring this enthusiasm into session, and default to drawing out participation with questions, (What would happen if we changed this? What does this term mean to you? Why do you think we are learning this?) Learning is an active process, but it certainly shouldn't be a chore; the world is far too exciting to let...

...projects and team management, developing, implementing and overseeing district, state, and federal education programs and standards, and monitoring metrics to improve student learning performance and experience. I understand that the best way to protect the student's rights to learn in their least restrictive environments and to provide service to them and their families to encourage life-long learning dispositions is of the utmost importance in my goals in teaching. By shaping minds and teaching the importance...
