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 methods of learning to ensure the ability for them to grow!

I am a professional engineer who has a passion for helping students of all ages to be successful - specifically, in STEM! I love to tutor math, science, and engineering of course, but I am also passionate about good communication and storytelling!

I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering.Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all levels of math.

As a tutor and college graduate, I am dedicated to the advancement of the scholastic skills and personal empowerment of my students and clients. Clear, honest, open communication are integral to the tutoring/client relationship. Accuracy, preparedness and professionalism are paramount to my tutoring approach. As your tutor, I vow to apply these attributes to every tutoring session. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have before, during, or after tutoring sessions.

Why, hello. As you've seen above, my name is Karl and I'm originally from the great Northwest. I moved out to New York originally to take advantage of an exciting opportunity to work towards the development of a safe and effective vaccine for the HIV virus. I've stayed because of the vibe of excitement and competition in the city. It truly does push you to be your best. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the ever-changing NYC landscape, stumbling about the internet learning whatever it has to teach me, studying politics both as an art and a science, as well as my guilty pleasure of watching the NFL and the occasional Newcastle game.As an HIV vaccine researcher for several years, I was taught many obscure facts and techniques. As a specialist in assay development (making up new experiments), I created even more. All of these techniques and ideas had to be passed on to the next generation of researchers, so I spent much of my time developing techniques to teach topics on which my pupil knows little to nothing to begin. Further, this information had to be passed on with no margin of error, as a single deviation between tests can render any and all data meaningless.In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do).Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular LSAT question might be, but rather why it is so. I don't simply warn you that question X of practice GRE Y is a trick question; I show you how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn how the numbers are combined, so too the placement exams will lose their bite once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think.The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show you the tricks that DID work for me, but I can also help you find the tricks that WILL work for you. The test prep books, and the cookie-cutter classrooms, must remain generic so that they can work, at least on some level, for all of the students who might read the book or take the class. With 1-on-1 tutoring, we will be able to create personalized strategies for preparing for, and eventually taking, the exam in which you are interested that are able to maximize your personal and unique set of knowledge and abilities. I look forward to helping you to find your personal path to success!- Karl

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.

I graduated from the University of Nevada in Las Vegas with a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering. I earned my Bachelor of Science at Colorado State University in Chemical Engineering with minors in Mathematics and History. Im passionate about learning and while I enjoyed working on my research, part of my responsibilities included teaching students. One of my favorite classes to teach was an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering where we used Lego Mindstorms to build robots. I tutor a wide range of subjects in math and science. What I love about math is that once youre able to gain a basic understanding of the principles, you can learn to apply them to more complex problems. Theres no better feeling than the absolute certainty of understanding a problem all the way through, and I enjoy helping students come to that same realization. I like to have a whiteboard or lots of paper to work out problems because in my mind, its important to play around with the problem in order to best understand it. In my spare time, I love reading science fiction and fantasy novels, writing fiction and playing volleyball.

I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor's of Science in exercise science with a biology minor from Linfield College in Oregon. During my time as an undergraduate, I spent two and a half years working as a tutor and a teaching assistant for Human Anatomy and Physiology. I have experience with small group tutoring as well as one on one tutoring. I tutored middle school math and science during my time at Linfield as well. I am passionate about teaching not only subject material, but also helping students discover how they learn best. I believe that learning how you learn is the most important step in your path to success as a student. 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 the past two years, I have worked clinically in both pediatric cardiology as well as adult advanced heart failure cardiology. My clinical experience coupled with my dedication to academics has allowed my to be accepted into Physician Assistant school! While I am excited to embark on my masters degree, I am equally as excited to help you or your child excel in the classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading, hiking, and playing volleyball.

I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I am from Montana, where I achieved a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. My hope is to help achieve the goals of students and parents alike in facilitating the understanding of concepts and information that are being studied. My appreciation for education its what drives me to want to tutor. I am looking forward to working with your students in their pursuit of education and possibly develop their own appreciation for learning.Thank you for your consideration.

I love everything about language and writing. If you are struggling with an English class, getting the score you want on the ACT, writing a paper, or understanding grammar rules in English or French I am the tutor for you! I received my undergraduate degree in Film and Media Studies from the University of Oklahoma with a minor in French. I have taken many rigorous courses in creative writing, essay writing using MLA and APA styles, and journalistic writing using the AP Stylebook. My special interests in French are poetry, literature, and phonetics.I appreciate the power of studying. I worked hard to understand these subjects, and I can help you or your child understand them too. I have helped many a classmate edit his essay, or grasp a tricky rule in French, and eventually earn a good grade in the class he was failing. Everyone has specific learning needs, so I provide a personalized approach to tutoring that focuses on building study skills and laying a firm foundation from which the student will be able to grow.My first passion was English. It is my favorite subject to tutor, and on my days off you can find me writing about the last movie I watched. I also love reading novels; baking; playing with my two cats, Miss Fisher and Tyrion; playing board games; and snowboarding.
