Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Hillsboro, OR

I began my career in education as a tutor and have since tutored and taught hundreds of students. I have tutored and taught English literature, composition, reading, technical writing, standardized test prep, ESL, and French. I love working with students and finding ways to help them best understand the material.

...and experienced teacher. After completing my B.A. in English with Philosophy Minor from UC Berkeley, I lived in Rome, Italy for two years where I taught English as a Second Language. During this time, I discovered that I had a passion and a gift for teaching. I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature with an emphasis on Latin American Studies from UC Los Angeles in 2009. While at UCLA I taught courses in Comparative Literature...

...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, and thorough tutor. I believe...

...After graduating, I hiked from Canada to Southern Oregon on the Pacific Crest Trail before going home to Georgia and teaching adult volunteers to be informed and effective monitors of absentee ballot processing during the election. I am a proud product of Atlanta Public Schools, and I think that every student has a right to an engaging, eye-opening education. I enjoy teaching many subjects, including SAT prep, Math, Science, and Reading, but my biggest passions...

...learning process. I enjoy learning new things, getting better at them, and helping others to learn as well. My work as a swim instructor for recalcitrant kiddos, behavioral specialist with young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and adult men in psycho-educational groups have taught me that people learn best when they are intrinsically motivated and feel that they are in the driver's seat of their learning process. As such, my job as a tutor...

...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 help, let me try and help

...learning more than it does a teacher-student dynamic. I believe that there is always something to learn from working with another individual, and it's in these one-on-one collaborations that I've found the most fulfillment over the years. Outside of my academic life, I write, exercise and play music every chance I get. I've always been a fiction writer, and was fortunate enough to follow this passion at my university. Throughout my education, it's been the...

...the student's main challenge is one of content, strategy, or mindset. We can then work from there to give attention to the areas that need the most strengthening, creating a unique plan of action that will lead to success. Commonly, issues of focus, confidence, and anxiety can be the most important underlying obstacles preventing someone from mastering new skills and content knowledge. I bring a lot of unique insight and experience in mindfulness, positive psychology,...

...minor in Theatre Studies. At Lewis & Clark, I have taken classes in Postcolonial Literature, Poetry Writing, Film & Literature, Milton, British Literature, & Modern American Literature. I am a candidate for Honors in the English department, and am finishing up my undergraduate thesis on Octavia Butler and Toni Morrison. I want to use my experience to help your student get excited about and engaged with literature! I love essay writing, and essay structure and...

...my favorite subject by far. I work best with teens and older, have been doing so since about 1990, and am presently an adjunct faculty member at Chemeketa Community College. I prefer to meet in person with people who are in or near McMinnville, OR, especially if we are working from your textbooks. For clients more than 20 miles away, we can meet half-way, you are welcome to come to my office (or another location...

...to me is that I'm able to help people with what I do. I've been tutoring since 2018. While English is my specialty, I also enjoy helping students with mid-level math and sciences of all types. I believe in reaching understanding through discussion and question-and-answer. As a tutor I believe that the student should both guide the learning and be an active participant all the way. I am a life-long learner and love to read...

I love teaching others about my favorite subjects. I'm especially passionate about math and science and work in a research lab at Oregon Health and Sciences University. I love helping students do well on tests such as the ACT, SAT, SSAT and the HSPT especially. I am attending Johns Hopkins University and majoring in Biomedical Engineering.
