Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Vancouver, WA

...topics, along with an understanding of how to provide complete and accurate explanations to a tutoring position. I have experience as a teaching assistant for physics labs, demonstrating that I can answer questions, relate to students and provide technical knowledge. I am an approachable, patient person, which allows me to make connections with students and ensure that they feel comfortable expressing when they are confused and what they need help with instead of feeling intimidated....

...to my heart; however, Algebra is just as important since it is the building block towards something greater. My tutoring philosophy is that learning should be fun. The more you know, the stronger you are as a person. Learning shouldn't be a tedious exercise but an empowering tool. When I tutor, I attempt to inspire, to show the big picture and why this stuff matters by using real world examples that students can relate to....

...two years in a campus tutoring center at Chemeketa Community College and have also done private tutoring. I tutor various levels of math, from elementary to calculus and I will be expanding my selection as I take more classes. When I tutor, my goal is to give students the confidence to do math on their own. My philosophy is to make sure that the subject is understood well enough that the student eventually become self-sufficient...

...over problems, I explain why and how one would arrive at a particular answer. I think that this is beneficial because it teaches students how to learn. This is a skill that can applied to any area of study and it helps make the material more understandable. I use a variety of methods to teach including drawings, models, analogies, similar practice problems, and anything else that would help them to learn. Outside of school I...

...in the country. This is something my parents, who are both immigrants with PHD's, always wanted for me and thus, I spent the rest of the summer after my surgery self-studying for the SAT and ultimately improved my score by 200 points (scoring in the 99th percentile for Math). I also succeeded at getting into my dream school, the University of Michigan. Outside of school/academics, I currently am working for an investment bank called Eaton...

...State University. Between Brown and Portland State, I have traveled to most countries in Europe as well as many countries in Asia. I have been tutoring Math and Statistics at PCC since 2013, and I enjoy working with students from all different backgrounds. I have tutored Algebra (both beginning and college level), the Calculus series, and even courses in Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. I particularly love Statistics because it is used in so many...

I'm a junior at the University of Michigan who loves to climb and code! Tutoring has always been a passion of mine as well - I love seeing my students grow and succeed both academically and personally!

...name is Judy. I teach physics, and math up to Calculus AB. I am better at math. I still can hold my own in physics. I like to teach. I like it better when I teach well. I am Christian. I believe in God. I believe He loves everyone. I offer the opportunity to those who are interested, no matter who you or or what your situation. If you would like me to try and...

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.

Math Major at Portland State University. I enjoy helping people learn math!

...is nothing like the kind of impact a good teacher can make on the course of your life. For that reason, I love being involved in education and having the chance to help students learn. I love having the chance to meet together with students trying to better their lives and their minds, and to provide them with assistance on their way. I find it incredibly rewarding, and I am regularly surprised by the things...

...I have done a lot of outreach with my physics department with K-12 kids, including designing experiments and walking kids through demonstrations, but I've also worked with children in small groups in a more casual environment. Despite the focus on children, I have also worked with peers in math and physics and enjoy employing many different methods of learning, such as 3D models, folding paper, Mathematica graphs and simulations, and physician demonstrations. My favorite subject...

...because most math teachers don't truly understand the underlying principles, or how differently kids learn. No matter how good you can be at something, if you've had bad teachers it'll never come to you as easy as one who actually works with you. I've never been the type of person to have perfect grades due to ADD and I used to struggle with teachers like that too. But after realizing I had it and doing...

...freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate new discoveries, and the best teachers strive to develop a personal learning strategy for each student so they may succeed themselves....

...teacher. I have worked with all age groups in a variety of educational settings since I was a teen. I just love interacting with kids and teens and helping them learn. I have had the pleasure of seeing so many students either get excited over learning something new and having their world open up that much more or having a student finally have the a-ha moment when a difficult topic suddenly makes sense. I look...

...to push students who are having a difficult time in the right direction. I love math and science, as they came naturally to me as I learned those subjects in high school and in college. I look forward to helping students understand those subject areas better. From basic elementary math to college-level math courses, I am able to get to know each individual so that they do not feel awkward or uncomfortable with me or...

...English and Spanish due to the incredible opportunity I had of living and studying overseas in Venezuela for most of my elementary school years. I have had much experience working with students all ages: tutoring for student athletes here at OSU, organizing and leading study groups for my high school peers as we prepared for our IB exams, working with high school freshmen in small groups in an algebra 1 recovery class, teaching Sunday school...

...Calculus III, Advanced C++, and Discrete Data Structures. I'm on my third year towards a BA in Computer Science at Portland State University. I may refine my program, likely to network administration, or software architecture. A portion of my schooling was at College of Southern Idaho in 2009-2010, where I tutored for the school in the math lab (calculus mostly). I moved to Portland because I love the area; tons of things to do, great...

...influenced my teaching philosophy because of their strong approach to life and learning high academic standards for students and for themselves diversity inside and outside the classroom ability to build among their students and peers My teaching philosophy is based upon six bedrock ideas a positive and respectful learning environment clear expectations, standards and goals process oriented instruction continuous assessment lifelong learning maximization of technology and instructional theory to provide the best instruction for all...

...chemistry because I find that the broad range of topics covered offers many different opportunities to find chemistry examples in everyday life! I think that to love and understand any subject, it's important to see examples of it in everyday activities; it can be very difficult to wrap your head around complex concepts when you're using complex examples, and I aim to simplify. Outside my studies, I love hiking in the Alpine Wilderness, climbing, reading,...
