Caitlyn

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

I'm a strong believer that education can be fun, and address learning with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. My approach to learning tends to be very communication-based, and often driven by how the client I'm working with feels they learn best. As a result, I tend to provide structure and guidance in a more flexible learning environment.

Madeleine

Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am currently a senior attending the University of Notre Dame, and I am pursuing a degree in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS). PLS is a renowned Great Books program that aims to perfect the student's ability to think critically in a variety of disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, and history. In PLS, great emphasis is placed on formulating deep and effective arguments and presenting them clearly in a technically correct manner, both in class and through my written work. Consequently, I have had much practice writing and editing my own work as well as editing that of my classmates. I am also pursuing a minor in education and am seriously considering pursuing a career in the educational field after graduating. I am passionate about helping others learn to the fullest extent of their abilities while enjoying the subject at the same time! Hobbies: running, reading, music, writing, art, books

Dylan

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I am known among friends for my love of puzzles, riddles, word problems, and mathematical challenges. I have a deep knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus and a passion for teaching it. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish. While foundational vocab and grammar are important, I emphasize speaking and encourage my students to take risks. I believe embracing discomfort is critical to learning a language. Spanish has helped me to travel and live in different communities throughout the world. I strive to kindle a similar appreciation and passion for language in my students.

Tyler

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a graduate of Luther College, a liberal arts school in Decorah, IA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Religion, with a minor in Social Welfare. Throughout college, I tutored many students in high school and college level math. I loved the process of helping people through math problems, so after graduating I served in the MN Math Corps as a Math Enrichment Tutor, where I learned research based teaching methods to tutor middle school students who were below proficiency in math. Currently, I am certified to tutor a broad range of math subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus, as well as ACT Math and GRE Math/Verbal test prep. Through my experience, I've found that the best method of tutoring is to tailor it to each student's learning style (every concept can be taught/understood in multiple ways), and make sure the student actually understands what he/she is doing versus just learning equations and methods to complete assignments. I am very passionate about tutoring math as I love empowering people, and I believe mathematics is a vital subject to learn and understand. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a data analyst for a market research firm near Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up on current events, reading (I love Harry Potter and Hunger Games!), Ultimate Frisbee, playing guitar and piano, and learning economics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Gresham's 24 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Gresham-Barlow School District or nearby areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support for their specific needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.7:1 in Gresham schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their individual learning gaps. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's pace, learning style, and specific areas where they need reinforcement—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

Absolutely. Tutors work with students to master content aligned with Oregon's academic standards across subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. Whether your student needs support catching up, staying on track, or advancing ahead, personalized instruction helps ensure they're meeting grade-level expectations in the Gresham-Barlow School District.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific challenges in their subject area. They'll discuss goals with your student and create a personalized plan for how to best support their learning. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective.

Gresham students frequently seek help with math and reading comprehension, especially during transitions between grade levels. We also support students with science, writing, test preparation for standardized assessments, and subject-specific challenges. If you're unsure whether tutoring would help, we can discuss your student's specific needs and recommend the best approach.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. To get a personalized quote for your student's needs, we recommend connecting with our team—they can discuss what would work best for your situation and provide transparent pricing information.

We match students with tutors based on subject expertise, teaching style, availability, and the student's specific learning needs. For students in Gresham, we look for tutors who understand local school curricula and can provide instruction that complements what's happening in the classroom. This personalized matching helps ensure a strong fit from day one.

Tutors provide regular feedback on your student's progress, including improvements in understanding, confidence, and academic performance. You'll see tangible results through better grades, improved test scores, and increased engagement with the subject. Most families notice positive changes within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring sessions.
