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 Lake Oswego's 20 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Lake Oswego School District elementary, middle, or high school, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic standards they're working toward.

While Lake Oswego's 16.8:1 student-teacher ratio is excellent, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something different—instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps. This targeted approach complements classroom learning and helps students master challenging material, prepare for standardized tests, or accelerate in subjects where they're ready to move ahead.

Tutors working with Lake Oswego students are familiar with Oregon's academic standards and how they're implemented locally. Whether your student needs support with Oregon's literacy benchmarks, math proficiency standards, or science learning goals, personalized instruction helps ensure they're meeting grade-level expectations and building strong foundational skills.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss any challenges they're facing in class, and create a personalized plan to address those areas—whether that's homework support, test prep, or skill building in a particular subject.

Lake Oswego students typically seek tutoring in math and English language arts, especially during transitions between grade levels or when preparing for standardized assessments. We also work with students in science, foreign languages, and test prep for the SAT and ACT. Every student's needs are different, so we can connect you with a tutor in whatever subject would be most helpful.

Yes, we understand that Lake Oswego families have packed schedules with school, activities, and commitments. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's availability, and you can adjust frequency based on your student's needs—whether that's weekly sessions during the school year, intensive support before a big test, or focused help during a challenging unit.

Absolutely. Personalized tutoring isn't just for students who need remedial support—it's also ideal for advanced learners who are ready to move ahead. Tutors can help Lake Oswego students dive deeper into challenging material, explore topics beyond the standard curriculum, or prepare for advanced placement and honors courses.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's needs, academic goals, and preferred subjects, and we'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit. Once connected, you can schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and the tutor will take it from there with a personalized learning plan.
