While I have a wide breadth of subjects in I am comfortable tutoring, I am most experience in the maths and sciences

Ben
BA University of Oregon
6+ Years Tutoring

I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Oregon! I have been an exceptional learner all my life. Yet, it's my experience in working with children and in tutoring others that makes me an effective teacher. As a Child Care Assistant at Play Boutique and a Youth Soccer Coach at the Lake Oswego Soccer Club, I learned valuable skills in how to effectively teach young learners. I've had experience with tutoring, too, as a volunteer with the National Honors Society. This made me realize how rewarding it can be to help others to understand a topic with which they may be struggling. Overall, my exceptional academic abilities, combined with my experience instructing young learners, make me an outstanding tutor. My general tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to be as hands-on as possible in the learning process. Psychology shows that learning is much more efficient if you exercise your own neural pathways through doing (rather than watching). I excel in tutoring Elementary/Middle-School level Science and Math, Biology, Psychology, Chemistry, Math, first-year Spanish and Music Theory, and Piano. I'd love to work with you!

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

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.
