Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Beaverton, OR

...This fall, I will transfer into Reed College to study philosophy as a junior. I have taken the last four years off of school to travel, handle some medical issues, work hard, and do some soul-searching. I enjoy reading and writing, being outside and active, cooking and eating good food, playing guitar, climbing rock and ice, and being alive. I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well....

...them master new or difficult material. My ultimate goal is to help my students truly comprehend the material, and be able to apply what they have learned when encountering new problems and questions. When I'm not working I spend my time hiking at the Sandy River Delta with my husky puppy, Kili, or whipping up new vegan recipes. I love to read, especially modern fiction and historical biographies, and try to travel as much as...

...Bachelor's degree in Finance at Portland Community College. I have been a formal and informal tutor over the last eight years. My philosophy is that there are always a couple of simple, crucial keys to success in any subject, and I'm looking to pass what I've learned over the years to students. I'm into politics (I'm a former government major), sports (especially basketball), video games, and reading. I have a good sense of humor and...

...I just moved to Portland, OR from Washington D.C., and I am excited to see what the West Coast has to offer. I love learning and teaching, and I am excited to share what I know of standardized tests, the English language, and of writing overall. I tutored for two programs while at Princeton; one was the Petey Greene Prisoner Assistance Program, which provided one-on-one tutoring with inmates in the correctional education system. I also...

...enjoy being able to help others understand it. And I feel gratified when I can relieve the stress a student is feeling about not getting the math they have to do for a class or test. Outside of math, I have a degree in psychology and am very interested in the topic. In my spare time, I also like hiking, mountain climbing, table tennis, running, reading, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, and chess.

...independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's important to let students do as much of the work independently as possible so that they stay involved in the learning process, and I also find it valuable to relate previous knowledge to new material. But most of all, I just really enjoy the subjects I teach and love...

...tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself. A student who simply masters the strategies and tricks might do great on the SAT, but the student who understands the material will do great on the SAT and continue to do great in college. I have particular experience and expertise in tutoring math (of all levels) and SAT prep, but I also tutor for other standardized tests, and...

...subjects as I do: as a challenge, not a chore. I try to do this by making things simple and showing straightforward techniques that students can use on their own to sidestep mental walls, thus building confidence. I love to see them succeed academically and value the opportunity to be a part of that success. I tutor Mathematics, Physics, SAT Prep and, my favorite, Computer Science. I have experience putting Computer Science to use both...

...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 spare time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, sports,...

...my bachelor's degree in biology from Middlebury College in 2010 and since then have been traveling, trying new things, and working on medical school prerequisites. I love learning, and through my own studies have learned a great deal about effective study strategies, the psychology of learning, and how to overcome obstacles that are both pre-existing and, perhaps more importantly, that we create for ourselves. An important part of my approach to working with students is...

I am a life-long learner and an encouraging, supportive and resourceful teacher who really takes joy in investing in students' progress and learning. I have had over 9 years of direct teaching experience, from university classrooms to kitchen table tutoring to online language teaching. I most enjoy working with students who know what they don't understand and are willing to ask and answer questions, even daunting ones!

...Sunday school. I spent every summer working at summer camps, where I helped teach science and art history. In college, I tutored French and American Politics. I believe that teaching material to others is the best way to learn. So, for me, tutoring has always been intrinsically entwined with my own studies and thirst for knowledge. As a tutor, I try to pass on my philosophy of study and passion for knowledge to my students....

Hi, I'm Garrett and I love the world! I love to travel, learn foreign languages, try new foods, and meet new people.

I am a recent graduate of Pacific University with a major in Biology and a minor in French. I've tutored throughout high school and college. I have found that tutoring is helpful to the students I am helping and me as well. I would love to help encourage students learn and grow as I do the same myself!

...of AP and SAT exams. While completing my major and additional coursework in college, I have strengthened my academic writing, reading, research, and quantitative reasoning skills, picking up R, STATA, and ArcGIS along the way. I strongly believe that every student learns differently and that they should be able to seek the help they need to take full advantage of their learning opportunities. If I can help a student master a subject, pass an exam,...

...philosophy is all about making learning fun, and increasing equity. I give students the freedom to express themselves. I believe in provoking curiosity and finding connections between their interests and the subjects they study in school. Above all, I encourage critical thinking and questioning. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy all kinds of physical activities, including running, rock climbing, and lifting weights. I enjoy being outdoors, especially when I'm with my dog. I...

...an English Language Arts endorsement. I have been a middle and high school ELA classroom teacher, but I have experience teaching all ages. I have lots of tutoring experience in reading, writing, math and study skills. My favorite thing about tutoring is getting to know students to develop a positive, supportive and individualized learning experience. In addition to English Language Arts, I also teach Music and Visual Art. I teach violin and viola in my...

...My favorite subjects to tutor are Mathematics, Statistics, Project Management, and French (I am a native French speaker). I am very passionate about these topics. They are still relevant in my professional life. What better way to adhere to the basics other than teaching them to others? When I am not actively learning, I coach 3 outdoor soccer teams from 2nd grade to 6th grade. I like running, camping, playing soccer, basketball, reading great books...

...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 forward to working with you and your family to achieve your learning...

...for multiply high schools. And for the last two years, I taught Algebra 1 where I was awarded Beginning Teacher of the Year, and the next year, Young Outstanding Educator Award. I love helping students who are struggling and feel like there is no hope because there ABSOLUTELY is! Everyone can understand math - You just have to find a way you connect with it. From making real life scenarios to dressing up in character,...
