Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Beaverton, OR

...to high school students. I kept their schedules, interacted with parents, supervised activities, and aided the instructors. Last semester, I also tutored an introductory biology course for non-majors at Kenyon College. I sat in on lectures and provided weekly and occasionally bi-weekly assistance outside of class at the college's Math and Science Skills Center. This job required a great deal of creative thinking, as I often had to explain a concept from different perspectives for...

...knowledge in those categories rather quickly. I have extensive experience assisting classmates with course material. I find it enjoyable both because I like helping others, and it allows me to find any gaps in my own knowledge and fix them. I generally prefer to help students with areas they have some background in, rather than introducing new topics. (For example, meeting with a student after a class to help them with the material they've just...

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 currently studying Chinese Medicine in Portland Oregon, at one of the best schools in...

...geochemistry, genetics, and biology. I am however a huge animal lover (hence the 'zoo' in zooarchaeology! Have you been brushing up on your Greek?). Although I spend a significant amount of time in a trench or in the laboratory, one of my favorite aspects of academia is teaching, passing down the tomes of human knowledge to those who come after you. This is one reason why I highly value being able to teach and tutor....

...that came in stop me to show off their effective use of a semi-colon in a paper, when they have previously been too uncomfortable to use it. While I have not previously tutored in sciences or standardized testing, I am very knowledgable in the sciences due to my degree in Environmental Science and can share testing strategies that help avoid making mistakes and falling for trick questions. I believe a tutoring session should be a...

...are behind in their public school classes, and students who are studying for state exams. I know that most people don't share my love of the beauty of mathematics, but I hope to convince them of how math is such an important part of our everyday lives. Just as it is critical for people to be able to read in today's society, it is equally important for people to be mathematically literate.

...been a tutor for over 2 years and I've had great relationships with all my students. I believe in providing direction so that students can arrive at an answer themselves; I've found that this method allows for a greater degree of retention opposed to simply demonstrating the problem and hoping they will remember the steps. I know that anyone can learn any subject with enough dedication, no matter how difficult, and I am excited to...

...theories, among others, as part of a journey to better understand the learning process, especially as it occurs during early stages of childhood development.

...tutor because I appreciate the consistent logic that is fundamental to these to these topics. I am confident I can help any student grasp difficult math concepts. I take a systematic, analytical approach to most effectively and efficiently improve the mathematic and/or scientific ability of my clients. In doing this, I follow a four-step process: 1) identify the specific, problematic concepts 2) develop teaching strategies tailored to the student's age level and personality 3) work...

I'm an electrical engineer working in the pro audio hardware industry. I currently hold a MSEE and BSEE with a minor in physics. I've also been a professional musician since the late 90s. I aim to help students develop their own intuition when solving problems and learning new concepts. If you're having trouble in some areas, there's a good chance I've already struggled through it!

Do not try to give 110% everyday, you'll only end up burning yourself out. But 1%...just try to make yourself 1% better today than you were yesterday...and by the end of the year you'll be over 365% better. It is the small steady changes and growth that make us great! I believe that each of us has the ability to exceed all our own expectations. That is why I tailor my teachings to the student's...

By using the subject material as a vehicle, I am excited by the opportunity to help students discover study methods and strategies that work best for them, and that they can apply to future classes as they progress in their academic endeavors. While my favorite subjects to tutor are anatomy and physiology, I am also happy to tutor students in biology, kinesiology, middle school math and science, english, and essay writing, among others. For...

...I greatly enjoy helping students become more confident in these subjects. While at Purdue, I have volunteered with the Women in Engineering Program and would love to work with young women interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading and playing roller derby.
