Hello! My name is Emily and I am a former K-12 ELL and Special Education teacher. I have taught in multiple states including Virginia, Maryland and Oregon. I have a degree in Special Education/General Education K-8 and an ESL endorsement from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. I am currently working on my children's book and decided to step out of the classroom, but I miss the relationships I built with my former students on a day to day basis!I am also a mommy to a special four year old boy who I love dearly and dedicate quite a bit of my time to. The majority of my teaching experience has been at the elementary level with both English Language Learners and Special Education students. I have also been a classroom teacher in both 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms. I am well versed in the Common Core and know that I have some creative talents when it comes to helping students and parents understand and work within the scope of these new standards.I have also tutored older students in English as a Second Language and ACT prep (mostly Reading/Writing). I LOVE teaching, reading and using rich vocabulary and would LOVE to help students deepen their understanding of the tricky (yet useful) English language.In my free time, I work on my book, spend quality time with my son and our cat and puppy and enjoy reading Oscar Wilde's work. I can't wait to meet you and begin working with you!

I am a dual-degree graduate student, currently working on a Masters degree in Health Administration in combination with a Doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy at Pacific University. I received my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation along with a minor in Sociology from California State University, Sacramento. I have tutored classmates and friends for about two years now, and currently tutor for a Human Movement/Anatomy course at a local institute. Anatomy and Math are my favorite subject areas to tutor. Both subjects have a number of ways that they can be taught and learned. I find that my grasp on both of these subjects allows me to adapt my teaching style and approach to best accommodate the learning style of the learner. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing indoor soccer, exercising, reading books, and absolutely love listening to music.
I am a graduate student studying Clinical Psychology, with a passion for helping others.I taught English abroad in china for 5 months, as well as helped special need kiddos for a school semester.I graduated with honors from my undergraduate institution with a degree in Psychology, and minors in History and Chinese.Whenever I teach students, I try to focus first on having fun and learning to love the material, and then on accuracy.
I am an ESOL endorsed 2nd grade teacher with 13 years of experience teaching children of varying grades and ability levels. My career includes classroom teaching, specialist teaching positions (ESL and children with Autism), administering specialist programs and substitute teaching in a variety of classroom settings. My experience along with my unique talents, devotion and trainings not only give me the ability to teach in any classroom environment, but make me a well-rounded tutor.My extensive background has given me a deeper knowledge of how toadminister educational programs, manage classrooms of all types,coordinate parent nights and connect with the community. In my classroomI have implemented SCIOP and GLAD teaching strategies and usetechnology regularly to motivate learning. I have attended numeroustrainings about sheltered instruction, systematic E.L.D. and bilingualeducation.
Hello! I am a graduate student studying to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. Over the past four years, I have received a lot of training in language, which includes reading and writing. I have learned how to support students with reading, spelling, writing, grammar, syntax, and much more!
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look over my tutoring profile.I am recent graduate from Pacific University's Graduate School of Education who is excited at the prospect of working with students to help them achieve their goals academically, as well as promote the necessary skills and character traits that will serve students professionally as they ponder their future navigating a complicated, contemporary marketplace.I utilize student-centered approaches when instructing and when assessing students, working with the student to find what authentic and engaging activities will tap into the student's intrinsic motivation.I am a data-driven instructor who monitors and collects information constantly to ensure that a student is always on track to reach their personal goals at a rigor that improves their personal proficiency in the subject at hand.
I have dedicated the last 23 years of my life to educating students at both the Middle and High School levels and have really enjoyed the ride throughout those years. My experiences have been teaching both in a brick and mortar school and even a few years of teaching strictly online. In addition, I have been an Administrator and Athletic Director.My passion though is in teaching students face-to-face or helping those that need additional help both face-to-face and online. The real excitement is to meet a student where they are academically, then develop a plan of where they want to be and how "we" are going to get the student there!Keep in mind I always think education is a team effort, we all do our part to help students achieve their goals. In many cases some students may just need a bit of help to succeed in a class. In other cases, a student may really be struggling and need an exceptional amount of help. In either case, I will do my best to assess what help you need and identify sources that I have that will help a student thrive.I am here to help either face-to-face or virtually, or both. What ever I can to help students make this a beneficial learning experience I will do it!
I am a passionate teacher currently taking a break from full time teaching due to big personal changes recently. I studied biology and chemistry at Oregon State University to get my Bachelors degree then went on to get a Masters of Art in Teaching from Pacific University. I then worked for two years at a local high school teaching biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. I taught all high school ages from grade 9 through grade 12. I love working with students to understand science topics, in the specific ways they learn. I have taught both online and in-person during my carreer and am adept at using technology to help students learn. I am excited to help your student learn science and achieve their science goals.
I am a senior year Mathematics and Computer Science major with an Economics minor at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. I'm a bit of an academic overachiever. I was one of the first seven students in my high school to graduate with the full IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma. Similarly, I've met almost all of my majors' requirements because I've taken the maximum number of credits every semester at Pacific, excluding my first one. I only need to complete my two capstones and take three more course requirements for the Computer Science degree. I pick up analytical skills quickly and love helping people, particularly in Mathematics and Computer Science, since I pick up knowledge in those categories rather quickly. I have extensive experience assisting classmates with course material. I find it enjoyable both because I like helping others, and it allows me to find any gaps in my own knowledge and fix them. I generally prefer to help students with areas they have some background in, rather than introducing new topics. (For example, meeting with a student after a class to help them with the material they've just covered but may not understand.) I can do the latter if necessary; however, I am less certain about my ability to do so in a way that is as consistently useful. I prefer to think of tutoring in terms of helping a peer rather than the more hierarchical framing of teacher and student. Although the latter is technically also accurate, I find it less useful. I am neurodivergent (diagnosed as both autistic and ADHD) and, as one might expect, am happy to teach neurodivergent students.
My experience in direct-patient care and employee training has developed into a belief that positive and accurate healthcare information improves the consumer and patient experience.My background in journalism enables me to communicate clearly and succinctly with students. I have extensive experience in a variety of pharmacist skills, including clinical, drug information and medication assessment, formulary and utilization management, clinical trial evaluation and policy development and direct-patient care.In order to stay relevant and communicate accurate information, I maintain knowledge of the current standards-of-care, new therapeutics, and clinical guidelines in a variety of diseases. I have a proven track-record of taking this clinical knowledge and transforming it into user-friendly language directed at health-care providers of all levels, business professionals, consumers, employees, and students.Along with general disease (e.g. cardiovascular, infection prevention) my subject matter expertise includes cancer therapeutics in both solid and liquid tumors (hematology and oncology), chronic inflammatory disease (including auto-immune), neural and mental health (e.g. major depression, Parkinson's disease), and rare disease.I am a dedicated worker with strong organizational skills and an aptitude for building positive relationships. In addition to my pharmacy credentials, I bring years of communication and clinical expertise.As somewhat of an idealist, I believe providing quality information to any audience only results in a better understanding, and I can help facilitate that.
I serve as a resource for you and your needs. I will do my best to provide assistance with knowledge, but I can provide an immense amount of emotional support as well. Everyone's journey is different and I do my best to adapt to that.
Although I love travel and have lived both overseas and across the country, I always come back to my hometown, Portland, Oregon. After earning a partial International Baccalaureate degree, I moved to England to pursue a science degree when I was eighteen. While I was there, however, I realized that I needed to focus on my true passion, writing.I came home and earned my BA in English with a minor in writing at Portland State University. Then, I took a few years off from school and traveled all over the United States. Two years ago, I began my Master of Fine Arts in Writing at Pacific University. It's been a wonderful experience, and I'm very lucky to have worked with some superb writers.Writing is communication. It's not words on a page, and it's not just an essay or a novel or the manual to our new blender. It's the storytelling we do on a day to day basis. It's about presenting our own personal knowledge to the world and making a connection. It is vital. Not everyone is a writer, but everyone needs to know how to say: "Here, let me tell you this," and have others understand.When I'm not doing homework, I'm working on my personal writing or art projects. I have two dogs that get walked everyday on the trails near my house, and sometimes I even find time for a ride on my road bike or a hike with one of my friends.
