Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Vancouver, WA

...at Springfield High School where I tutored students both in the classroom and in after school programs. This experience was incredibly rewarding, as the evidence of my daily work could be directly observed, and the difference I was making seemed to have a real impact.

...degree in Environmental Science and can share testing strategies that help avoid making mistakes and falling for trick questions. I believe a tutoring session should be a discussion, rather any type of lecture, where you should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or let me know if something isn't working. Personally, I struggle in math and never thought I would be able to get a degree that requires the math skills that my BS did...

...disabilities. My Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences from Portland State University. My philosophy is each child has a unique way to learn. Some children are auditory learners, some are visual learners, and others are a combination of both. It is easy to learn in an environment that makes children curious and not afraid to take chances. Children need to use their mental abilities and social skills, take what they learned, and apply...

I also teach social skills and study skills. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten through ninth grade and have enjoyed all of my experiences.

I am an adjunct professor for undergraduates and masters students, so I know what college professors expect...

...of students. As a tutor, it is my belief that my job is not only to teach the subject matter but to create confident, successful students. Of course I like other activities besides studying math.

Along with spending time with my family, friends, and dogs I love to scrapbook to capture all...

...a lot of experience tutoring biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology at the college level as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English. I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing. I feel the best way to learn something is to do it, and I hope that we can work together towards understanding rather than memorization. Whatever...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....

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.

Hi, my name is Ben. I've been math tutoring for 6 years now. I have experience working with age groups from elementary age students to college students. I try to make math comprehensive to everyone I teach by demonstrating solutions to problems as best I can and also working with what they know. I believe that asking questions and making as few assumptions as possible is to solve any problem, no matter how complex.

I worked as a tutor and/or a teaching assistant for more than three years during school and always enjoyed doing it.
