I am passionate about teaching and learning! I think that education should be fun...Let's make learning fun!

I'm a fiction writer and movie nerd here to help with any form of writing and/or editing. I have an MFA in creative writing from Portland State University and a BA in English from Seattle Pacific University. I recently taught composition (levels 1 and 2) at Northwest Kansas Technical College. The part of teaching I enjoyed the most was working with students one-on-one to give them tips that were specific to their writing voices. If that sounds like the kind of help you need, I'd love to try and ...More

I'm a filmmaker and photographer as well. I've made two documentary films and published fiction and poetry, and traveled to over thirty countries on five continents, so I have a lot of life experience that I bring with me to tutoring.

I am there to help make it happen. Building a rapport with students takes time, and this is something I will also build on from session to session.

I am a licensed Oregon teacher with an endorsement to teach secondary social studies, and an M.Ed from Portland State University. For the past 6 years I have worked as a substitute teacher in a variety of classrooms, and have also taught social studies with Portland Public Schools' Evening and Summer Scholars Program. I have taught U.S. History 1 and 2, Government, (and Global Perspectives as a student teacher).

I am passionate about teaching the humanities, especially history, psychology and literature. I am equally passionate about teaching the skills each of these disciplines requires for mastery: critical thinking; reading and comprehension strategies; academic writing and effective research methods. My areas of expertise include American and European history (as well as historiography). I specialize in political and military history, and my interests touch upon issues such as conflict and warfare, ...More

I am currently doing my masters in International Economics and Finance at Brandeis University. I have been tutoring for the past 5 years and always enjoyed it. When I am not at school, I enjoy to play chess and watch sports and play basketball.
