Dear students and parents,My name is Alicia Nunziato and I am eager to work with you in achieving your academic goals!I just finished my second year at Oregon State University (go Beavs!) where I am pursuing a double degree in Human Development and Family Sciences and Bilingual Elementary Education. I am completely fluent (reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension) in English and Spanish due to the incredible opportunity I had of living and studying overseas in Venezuela for most of my elementary school years.I have had much experience working with students all ages: tutoring for student athletes here at OSU, organizing and leading study groups for my high school peers as we prepared for our IB exams, working with high school freshmen in small groups in an algebra 1 recovery class, teaching Sunday school at the elementary school level...These hands on experiences coupled with the knowledge I have gleaned from my human development and education classes have equipped me to work with students of all ages. As a third generation teacher, a love for teaching runs through my veins. I am passionate about what I do and bring joy, enthusiasm and excitement into each of my sessions.I look forward to partnering with you to find the most fun, engaging, and effective ways of reaching your academic dreams.~Alicia

For me, tutoring is about more than just better grades; it's about making a real difference in how my peers approach learning. I love being able to help others succeed in the classroom and, more importantly, helping them discover the same joy and excitement for these subjects that I feel every day.
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 am passionate in teaching and mentoring students because growing up I've always helped younger students than me and peers and family members who was younger than me in school and it grew on me and I always seek to help those around me and I think being able to tutor students will be great for me due to the experiences that I have. I am an early graduate in high school so I graduated in 2022 and working towards my bachelor in Computer Science at Oregon State University. Subjects I am open to tutoring and some of my favorite subjects to tutor are math and reading/writing. These are some of my personal favorites because I've always went above and beyond for myself in math when I was in middle school and high school and I find it fun working through equations and finding alternatives for myself and for those around me who needs help with math and to understand it better. Outside of school I love playing video games and consider it a hobby but I aside from gaming I love to draw and paint and am a big nerd for building lego structures.
I am passionate about helping students to succeed in their classes because I know what it is like to be frustrated about not figuring something out like the answer to a reading question or math problem. I want to help students to succeed by being your guide in the process of figuring out the answers to you need help with. You, the student, are the one who steers the ship, and I will be along to encourage and be patient with you as you discover the answers you need. In the process of learning, I hope you come to love learning new things as much as I do.Currently, I have experience working with both college and high school students, but I have also worked with middle schoolers as a tutor when I was in high school. I tutor English Language Arts, Writing, and Communication. I also have taken multiple fictional writing courses and Shakespeare courses as well. In June 2022, I will be graduating from Oregon State University with my Bachelor's Degree in English with Honors. In Fall 2022, I am moving onto to my Master's Degree in Education at Western Oregon University to become a high school English teacher. I love tutoring in Writing best because I like to give suggestions and watch students take off with their own ideas and writing style from just a few words. It is amazing to watch a student start with a vague idea of what they want to write, and I help them flesh it into an introduction or something like it.Outside of academics, I like to read books for fun. I recently started reading a fantasy series called Dragonlance, which is a Dungeons and Dragons based world. I also like to watch movies and tv shows. The Marvel movies are really great, and I'm most looking forward to the next Doctor Strange film. I look forward to tutoring you!
I recently graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Psychology. Since graduation I've been working in the fishing industry in Alaska, and as a firefighter in Oregon. I am also currently studying to become an actuary. I've been tutoring math students of all levels from elementary arithmetic to calculus since 2009. My favorite subject to teach is algebra because it's so important to have a solid foundation in it, and it's a subject that many students struggle with. I've found more often than not, that students struggle with math because they weren't able to master previous material. Tutoring can be extremely helpful to students because it's so much more targeted and lessons can be tailored to a students needs. My personal teaching philosophy is that any motivated student can learn math and it's up to me to figure out the most effective way get the material to stick. I try to be flexible with my approach because different students respond differently to certain teaching styles so what works well with one student may not be right for another. In my free time I play and watch a lot of basketball, unfortunately my Blazers are having a rough season. My other big interests are rock climbing and running with my Doberman/German Shepard puppy, Phife.
I'm 24 years old with two Bachelors degrees from OSU, one in Physics, the other in Mathematics. I tutored high school to college level math at Clackamas Community College for a year, and have done private tutoring since. I have a lot of experience teaching people with vastly different learning styles, and enjoy helping people learn and understand new information.My teaching focus is primarily on helping the student gain a deep understanding of the material as well as an understanding of how to think about and approach new information or problems in the future.
I am currently an adjunct faculty in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Washington State University Vancouver. In 2019, I received my second M.S. degree in mathematics at Oregon State University under the supervision of Professor Vrushali Bokil.I was employed as Mathematics Faculty, part-time at Linn-Benton Community College in Winter 2019.

Hi! I've been an educator for over 10 years, working with students in environments ranging from classroom instruction, after-school tutoring support, private lessons, and professional workshops. I hold both a Bachelor's in Computer Science as well as a Bachelor's in Music Education with a concentration in Psychology. My expertise lies in coding, algorithms, and programming languages where I'm excited to draw from both fields to create a structured, detail-oriented, and accessible learning environment that fosters creativity, confidence, and an excitement for learning. I believe even the most complex material can be approached through consistent and comprehensive practice to build students' mastery and the philosophy behind "Explaining an Idea 1000 Different Ways" to guide students towards a deeper understanding. My goal is to inspire a curiosity in a student's own potential, leveraging the tools of technology to develop critical thinking skills, creative problem-solving, and the foundational skills essential for navigating today's evolving digital landscape.
I am an experienced academic tutor with a focus in the SAT and ACT. With nearly 2 years of experience tutoring in the SAT, I know the ins and outs of the test as someone who was not initially good at the test but through dedication and a systematic approach raised my score. I have carefully studied the Digital SAT and subdivided all problems, supplemented by relevant problems from the old SAT versions. In English or math, I know exactly how it is tested and the best way to approach it. I graduated with Molecular Biology and Computer Science degrees from Oregon State University, and have worked as a tutor in a test prep company for 2 years. I am very systematic in academic or physical training and take a step-by-step process for improvement. Through targeted practice, I believe in focusing on areas where students are not as strong. I scored 1520 and 1550 on the SAT in 2017 and a perfect score on the Math section twice -- before I even started tutoring. I understand that students have a wide variety of learning styles. In the first session, I assess student goals, learning styles, past experiences and scores, and strengths to develop the best approach to improve your score.
I am student - centered and have been teaching for almost 30 years! Yikes! I know my stuff and collaborate with my learners to create a plan that meets their goals and increases their knowledge.

Hi there, I'm Piyush, a freshmen at Oregon state university. I believe every student has the capacity to master complex topics and build confidence in themselves given enough time and the right tools. I do just that and teach my students how to think instead of what to think. I use analogies, visual indicators and various different explanations to teach a concept so it sticks. I am dynamic enough to change my tutoring style based on the kind of student I am teaching, whether it be direct or patient depending on the mindset of the student. I constantly review the change I am causing in the students with consistent skill-checks and mini-quizzes where I have the student explain the concept back to me to check their understanding. Overall, I am focused on creating the best tutoring experience for my students which includes keeping up with the curriculum myself. I am constantly studying advanced topics to make sure my explanations are as accurate as possible.
I am passionate about tutoring because I love facilitating the love of academic success. School was always fun for me; unfortunately I know that is not the case for everyone and tutoring gives me the platform to share my love for learning. My experience tutoring involves mostly writing, I enjoy assisting with improving student's writing skills and proofreading papers before they are turned in to improve students' scores. I received my Bachelors of Arts from Oregon State University and my Masters of Education from Concordia University. It was during my time at Concordia as a graduate student that I discovered my love for tutoring! I currently tutor in the subjects of reading, writing, and English ACT test taking. My favorite subject to tutor is APA writing assistance; writing in the APA format can be challenging!
