Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Beaverton, OR

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...bicycling) and led day or week long trips with limited to no supervision. I was tasked with not only managing group safety, but maintaining healthy social dynamics and enthusiasm. This position understandably required exceptional responsibility and preparation, and I met these requirements without incident. Previously I have held two positions in education. In the Grinnell in Prison Program I first tutored two teenagers who had suffered mental and emotional trauma, and later taught two semester-long...

...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 my...

...and ice, and being alive. I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to 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...

...STEM. Even still, I used to think I was bad at math until my second year of college taking an intro to business math class and decided I needed to switch majors. The rest is history. In my experience, math is one of those subjects that people seem the most fearful of learning; sometimes believing they are predisposed to not being able to learn it. I think that while it might be harder for some...

I am a Substitute Teacher in the Portland area. I graduated college with a Bachelors in Science for Secondary Education in Social Studies, and a minor in Spanish. I tutored professionally for two years in Denver primarily in ACT/SAT test prep and Spanish. I also enjoy tutoring math subjects. With my tutoring and substituting experience, I am comfortable with a variety of subjects and grade levels. I strive to make tutoring not only beneficial, but...

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....

...persuasive styles) - Physics and Natural Sciences - Mathematics (pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, etc.) - Computer Science and Engineering - General test preparation, especially ACT, PSAT and SAT - Developing good study habits Of these, philosophy is my favorite subject by far. I work best with teens and older, have been doing so since about 1990, and am presently an adjunct faculty member at Chemeketa Community College. I prefer to meet in...

...have also been the sole instructor for a math review course for a mixed undergraduates and graduate class. When tutoring students, I like to first focus on problem-solving strategies. That is, I like to discuss the best way to look at a question or problem and how to break it down into a familiar, more approachable format. While there a several topics where I believe I can help, including general chemistry, astronomy, and math up...

...in an academic Biophysics lab in Portland. I love getting to do physics every day and I love being able to share my enthusiasm for math and science with students. I am interested in working with elementary school through college-level students. Whatever your level, I'll be working to help you understand how to approach problem solving so that you can feel confident approaching learning material and working through problems on your own in the future.
