Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Portland, OR

...at a computer camp this past summer. My favorite thing to teach is game design because that is what I am most passionate about but I also enjoy teaching in general. I find it very rewarding to teach and help students learn, especially, when it is a subject they are not comfortable with. This is due to many students thinking that they are just unable to learn a subject that they struggle with but I...

...originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my...

...work with it? Can they use the material and connect it to something else? My goal is not to see how much my students can recite back to me, my goal is to give them information that they can use for application. What do I do when I am not working as an educator? Probably running or swimming; I am an incredibly active person. Having been on a sports team for most of my life,...

On top of...

...interest them. More importantly, I am enthusiastic in developing methods in understanding and learning. As a tutor, I think it is important to attack material from multiple angles and perspectives. This helps me understand where holes in understanding are, and develops the skill set necessary for acing assessments and maintaining that knowledge for a lifetime. Outside of academics, I am a yoga enthusiast and runner. I enjoy hiking with my 90 pound mutt named Huckleberry,...

...learn, and I hope that I can instill the curiosity, wonder, and interest I have developed in my studies. I will do everything that I can to make sure my students leave each session with more knowledge and a better understanding of the material than at the start of the session, and will work as hard and as long as I have to make sure that my students completely understand everything they struggled with in...

...include tutoring languages like Spanish and Latin and STEM fields (chemistry, biology, physics). I can also help with college test prep and essay writing, as well as general college advising. As a Classics major, I'm big into the Socratic method: leading students to the answer of a problem by asking questions at each step. More often than not, they knew the answer all along! When I'm not tutoring, I'm conducting research on bacteria in my...

...people I meet and I enjoy helping others out. I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the...

...to sell in the high-stakes world of Test Prep. That's why I founded my own company. Tutoring works best when you start with plenty of time before your test, when you practice multiple times a week, and when you and your tutor can really understand each other's brains. That's why I am substantially lowering my prices and taking on fewer clients to meet regularly with me throughout the full course of their class or Test...
