I have witnessed these traits help me become an optimistic and effective tutor, and I can't wait to put these skills...

...realize that every individual student is different. My tutoring philosophy is that tutoring should by no means follow a one-size-fits-all approach. In my tutoring practice I focus on treating students as unique individuals, determining what is effective for each student, and getting to know each student's particular academic needs and goals. When it comes to SAT prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific...

...that fits your specific learning style and interests. There's nothing better as a tutor than seeing a student have an "ah-ha!" moment or seeing improvement in test scores and skills, and it is my goal to help you get there. I am originally from Madison, WI, and although I have now lived all over the world and settled on the West Coast, I consider myself a cheese-head for life. In high school, my family moved...

...living around the world: Tripoli, Quito, and various states. I have a degree from MIT and spent 25 years at Intel in a number of positions. My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking, reading, bridge and bowling (yes, bowling!). I enjoy talking about anything and will often make stuff up just to keep the conversation going. I started tutoring back in the 90's in a program called Start Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found...

...the opportunity to give back to the community, and it allows me to continue to navigate my favorite subjects: English, writing, and French. I received a B.A. in English with French and writing minors at Portland State University, and an A.A. in general studies from Clackamas Community College where I excelled in journalism, visual & graphic art, performance, and music; all of which I still pursue as a professional journalist and writer/performer.

...tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages. When a student is struggling I'm always on the lookout for issues that don't have to do...

I am patient, kind, empathetic, positive, fun and persistent. As a student, I was pretty bored in school for many years so I understand the value of keeping things fresh, interesting and relevant. During my teaching career, I was also the school’s TAG coordinator. I also have extensive experience working with students that...
