...- With a class size of 72 students per section the course introduced students to Matlab, CAD (AutoDesk), Microsoft Excel, Technical graphics, Subject specific labs, design projects, Microfluidics and teamwork. I also taught a Chemical Engineering elective: Physical Properties of Polymers at the University of Southern California which taught polymer synthesis and characterization of various commercial and research based polymerization processes. I am looking to tutor a variety of subjects : Mathematics (Calculus, linear Algebra,...

...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 "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they...

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...

During my time as an undergraduate and graduate student, I spent several years as a Physics teaching assistant. My experience at the universities has included both teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient,...

...am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering. Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and...

...at a local correctional facility. With ambitious subjects, namely Cell Structure and Ancient Greek Humanities, I successfully captured class attention during lecture and discussions, included demonstrations, and asked them to submit several assignments during the term – all in the hopes that they found something inspirational enough to break the cycle of incarceration and poverty. As a college graduate in Biology, collaboration, coordination, and presentation were necessary elements of my research education. For example, I...

Hello! My name is Chase and I'm currently a junior at PSU majoring in Physics. I've always enjoyed helping people who are struggling with math and science. It's challenged me to articulate complicated ideas in the form of analogies that tie together abstract concepts and real world experiences. I strongly believe that science and math are subjects that should be understood, and not feared!

...each student has their own unique approach to learning new subjects. It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of a subject. Outside of school I like...

...they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to uncover the causes of anxiety or helplessness technical subjects can engender. My bachelor's degree is from UCLA, where I studied math and physics. My Master's degree is from Arizona State University where I studied logic and...

...projects that I am involved with is the Carlton Observatory Project which is creating a community space education center with a planetarium and observatory in my hometown of Carlton, Oregon. My tutoring experience includes all levels of science students from grade school through grad school. My goals for all of my students include helping them be successful, nurturing their natural curiosity about the world, and giving them an understanding in a deep and lasting way...

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. My interdisciplinary experiences help me work with students from diverse and unique academic backgrounds, and enable me to present material in a variety of different ways. Most importantly, I believe in fostering a love for learning.

I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota. My dissertation work was in optics, specifically optical imaging systems. I primarily tutor Optics, Electromagnetism, Analog Circuits, and Digital Electronics. My teaching style tends to be Socratic; I like to use guiding questions to help students grow their comprehension and problem solving skills.

...the middle, high school, and college level, both one-on-one and in a classroom setting. I have also worked as an academic coach and curriculum advisor for high school and college students. As a former homeschooled and online schooled student I am personally familiar with the unique challenges of hybrid, online, and in-person learning and will be committed to helping students succeed in any and all of these educational formats. In addition, I am a classically...

...out into consulting. I grew up around teachers, my mom having taught nearly every subject imaginable except science in a middle school setting. This sparked my love of learning and teaching. I have sought experience around the classroom, tutoring officially and unofficially since high school. I have also taught in the classroom setting as an unofficial substitute and Teaching Assistant. I believe in reaching out to meet students where they are with the subject matter...

...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 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...

...am an undergraduate biology student, and preparing for medical school at the University of Oregon. Prior to transferring to the University of Oregon I attended South Texas College, where I attained my associates in biology and two years of work experience as a tutor. As a tutor, I have experience in math, science, and the humanities for college level courses and below. Personally, I prefer to take a more holistic approach to tutoring, often including...

...and others, I developed skills and knowledge in the realms of math, science, and engineering, and I am eager to help others do the same. The best way to learn, in my mind, is through cultivating a willingness to examine the complex nature of the world around us. This does not always come easy (the best things in life rarely do), but I firmly believe that this willingness allows us to become successful as individuals...

...a myriad of reasons! First, both teaching and learning are much easier in a 1-on-1 scenario, because the tutor must only focus on the growth of a single student. Additionally, the student and tutor can actually discuss the subject to really build an understanding of it. I incorporate lots of real-world applications and analogies in my teaching, as I know from experience that bridging the gap between theoretical equations students might know and what it...

I am from Montana originally and grew up on my parents farm/ranch that they still own and operate. I graduated from Montana State University with a BA in Philosophy with a religious studies option. I love learning about the world and helping others to do the same. However, my first love was science and math. I tutored college statistics and freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and...
