Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Portland, OR

Hi! I'm Alex, a freshman at Dartmouth College. I've pursued my academic passions, particularly writing and literature, history, and mathematics passionately throughout high school, and now I would love to pass on the knowledge I've gained to students who are eager to learn. I work best with students who are attentive, focused, and have an open mind and a desire to improve their critical thinking skills.

...have been working with students for over 10 years, and I love the opportunity to not just teach new ideas, but to connect with the students and learn from them.

I love music of all kinds, the writing of George Saunders and John Steinbeck, basketball, and in the future...

...my graduation I came to the realization that I was the first person in my family to earn a college diploma. Within six months I was hired at Hunter's Creek Middle School in Orlando, Florida as a seventh-grade social studies teacher beginning my five-year career working in education.

I recently graduated from the University of Connecticut where I triple majored in Molecular and Cell Biology, Anthropology, and Spanish. I have been teaching and tutoring for over four years to a variety of students with respect to age and background. Recently, I have been teaching and privately tutoring elementary and middle school students on English grammar and composition in Spain....

...in a cappella rehearsals, and helping friends and classmates with their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to figure out their own interpretations and make their own edits. While the reading and writing of books is my passion, I...

...students at the middle school and high school levels, and actually took time off before college and spent it tutoring. I primarily tutor students in PSAT/SAT preparation and math (through Algebra 2), although I can also tutor introductory economics, statistics, and high school political science. Additionally, I enjoy writing and am interested in helping students refine their writing skills and editing their essays if needed. My goal is to enhance students’ knowledge of key concepts...
