...Science and Engineering. My Bachelor's is in nanoscale science with a concentration in biology. My major consisted of many very physics-heavy classes, as well as lots of biology and math classes. I also took several chemistry, engineering, and computer science classes. My year-long research project that I did for my senior year was a bio-statistics project, focused on mining the NCBI DNA database and collecting information on specific transcripts. I look forward to every new...

...an engineer to prepare the next generation of students to achieve their best in mathematics and science. In addition to my formal education, I have obtained a wealth of real-world experience that can benefit technically-minded students prepare for careers 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...

...and then providing an example of how to solve the problem. Then letting the student take a shot at a similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same...

I am a recently graduated college student with a B.A in both Physics and Mathematics. Right now I am taking a year off before pursuing a Ph.D. in Astrophysics/Astronomy, and I wanna spend that year helping others understand the wonders of Physics!

To share my love and knowledge of computer programming and technology.

I am a motivated tutor and would love to use my academic and industrial experience to teach students math, science, computer programming and electrical engineering.

...with a BofA in Psychology. Throughout my time in academia I've spent time working with those who want to improve whether it's algebra, chemistry, biology or writing. 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...

...own right. You learn best when the problem at hand feels relevant to something you care about. With 6 years as an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also passionate about teaching -...

I've tutored math for over four years, and as a grad student in math I have both the experience and knowledge to impart concepts and problem-solving skills. My tutoring style emphasizes patience, persistence and understanding the big picture.

...to teach is algebra. Often times this is when kids begin to doubt themselves or first struggle with mathematics, so I think its important to make sure they are really comfortable with the skills they will need. With two years of professional mathematics tutoring experience, I am able to help students get to the very root of their struggles. My main priority is to not only give students the strategies they need to succeed, but also...

...Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found some computer programs that did alphabet and word recognition with animation. I also worked in an after school tutoring program for high school students. It was a melding of tutoring and mentoring, trying to get some at-risk students into college by improving their grades. I like math and physics, so much so that I tried to teach myself string theory. No luck there, it is a much harder...

...my students to understand that I do not have all of the answers for them and they will need to find some of them on their own. They need to be willing and capable enough to do this. When working with math, I attempt to connect concepts to "real world" uses and ideas. I hope to show my students that math is not a torture technique, but a tool that can be used to describe...

...of the student. Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but the context of the...

...Portland State University studying to become a deep ocean biologist. I have a passion for anything science related and love to teach others about what lives beneath the sea. I am an instructor for a science based summer camp where I teach the fundamentals of science to K-5 students. My favorite part about my job is showing how exciting the world is around us when you dive in deep enough. I love relating subjects like...

I am a student attending Central Washington University, completing programs in Music Composition, Music Education, and Mathematics Education. I have two years of experience with reciprocal peer tutoring in the areas of Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Music.

This helps my clients be adequately prepared for exams and projects. Whatever you need, I'm here...

...my family. I have also participated in science activities outside of school including working at the US Geological Survey during my college years and collaborating with members of the Lawrence Berkeley Labs Astrophysics Division with their research that led to the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe and Dark Energy. One of my current projects that I am involved with is the Carlton Observatory Project which is creating a community space education center...

I'm an electrical engineer working in the pro audio hardware industry. I currently hold a MSEE and BSEE with a minor in physics. I've also been a professional musician since the late 90s. I aim to help students develop their own intuition when solving problems and learning new concepts. If you're having trouble in some areas, there's a good chance I've already struggled through it!

I'm a long-time Portland resident who has worked on a lot of cool projects in healthcare as an engineer, often helping grad students with their projects. I like flying my Phantom quad when its not raining and indoor soccer when it is.
