I am a graduate of The University of Portland, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, I worked for Nike as a Test and Validation Engineer on their Digital Sport products (FuelBand, SportWatch, Nike+, etc.) for one year before returning to graduate school. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University, with a focus in design and manufacturing, and will graduate in the summer of 2015.Though I have never strictly worked as a tutor, I tutored undergraduates as part of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society while at the University of Portland, and this past year was a TA for a statics & solid mechanics class at Stanford, which included holding office hours for students to help with homework and test prep. I have the most experience tutoring lower division engineering classes such as this (physics, statics, strength of materials, mechanics) but also enjoy and am comfortable with a wide array of math subjects from algebra to calculus. I am a very interactive and hands on tutor, and believe a free-flowing dialogue between student and teacher is essential for maximum learning efficiency. I would much rather work through problems with my students to find areas in need of improvement rather than sit back and watch them struggle.Outside of academia, I try to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible, including hiking, biking, swimming, camping and skiing in the winter. I enjoy music a lot (both listening and creating) and reading as well, and find current events to be fascinating - though I try not to let them weigh me down, as some of the world's issues can be tough to stomach.

Hi there! I recently graduated from the University of Notre Dame with my Masters of Engineering in civil and environmental engineering. Before that, I got a B.S. in environmental science and a minor in music. I have tutored peers in the past in math and science, and have taught music lessons to kids of all ages. I understand how challenging STEM courses can be and will always try to tutor in a way that suits your learning style best!

I am a licensed language arts teacher who specializes in helping students discover new ideas and cultures through literature and critical reading, and express their own unique ideas and perspectives through writing. I graduated from Portland State University with a degree in both English and French, and later obtained my Master's of Arts in Teaching from the University of Portland. Since becoming a teacher, I've worked in small, rural schools, and large, suburban ones. I've taught classes in Language Arts, Drama/Theater, Leadership, and lead workshops where students completed their Essential Skills graduation requirements. My expertise is working with students grades 6-12 and adult learners. I love to help students explore their interests and hone their writing skills in English, but I am also here to help learners of French as well. I studied abroad in Poitiers, France, which was one of the most enlightening and fantastic experiences in my life. My chance to spend a portion of my college education in another country is just one example of how education enriches a life. When I have free time, I can be found outdoors camping, hiking, and swimming, or quietly at home cooking, baking, reading, and playing the piano and guitar.

I am a Spanish and Communication major. I have worked as a tutor at my university's Language Resource Center while taking a Language Assistance Internship, so I understand the learning process. As someone of Mexican American nationality who studied abroad in Spain, I have been lucky enough to grow up with Spanish in my life. A favorite hobby of mine is traveling and I most recently spent time in Colombia, where I gained exposure to more South American Spanish. I enjoy helping others with the combined Spanish and communication skills I have gained over the years; I look forward to working with more people.

I am a medical student excited about teaching. Since high school I have tutored peers and worked at local elementary, middle, and high schools to help students of diverse backgrounds learn Spanish and math. In college, I was a chemistry major and was a chemistry tutor, workshop leader, and lab assistant. I look forward to working with you!

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!

"Never do for a student what they can do for themselves." Through my own education and experience guiding others in their learning process, I have come to firmly believe that true education occurs when a person is pushed and supported to do for themselves what they did not know they could do. I have now tutored and taught in a variety of settings for three years; each experience has pushed me to be an educator who guides others to answers rather than providing the answers. In 2013, I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching from University of Portland; prior to that experience, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English at Portland State University in 2011.I first began working with students by tutoring math for an after school homework club at a local elementary school. This experience led me to begin substituting as an educational aide throughout the Hillsboro School District; I worked in a variety of K-12 special education settings facilitating reading curriculum and serving as a one-to-one guide for students in general education classrooms. Sharing the educational process with these students, I found a passion that would lead me to pursue my master's degree.Since entering the classroom as a teacher, I have primarily taught English Language Arts at the middle and high school levels. I student-taught in the Portland area during my certification process before taking a job teaching middle school students in Glendale, Arizona. I currently teach in Vancouver at a STEM magnet program; I guide students in their exploration of English Language Arts at the middle school level while offering a psychology/sociology elective for high school students. I also currently serve as librarian part-time.First and foremost, I love sharing reading and writing with students. I enjoy everything from assisting students with basic reading comprehension strategies to helping students draft complex research essays. I enjoy guiding students through literature ranging from Chaucer to more modern classics. Reading is a lens for seeing the world; alternatively, writing is a lens through which the world may see the author. I first fell in love with these subjects for those reasons. I also enjoy tutoring social studies and basic math through middle school as well.On my own time, I explore a wide range of hobbies: hiking & backpacking, cooking, writing, reading, and bicycling to name a few. More than anything, I think it essential to stay curious. I encourage my students to stay curious by modeling a life of curiosity.I am based out of the North Portland area and can happily meet you in a public space or your own residence.Best of luck in your search for the right tutor to guide your student. I hope that I could be the right fit for your student's learning needs and interests.

After graduating in 2007, I worked in plant biology research for 8 years. This time included working in both educational and industrial settings. As a graduate student at Washington State University, I studied cell and molecular biology and taught biology lab courses. Here, I learned that my true interest was teaching and that I enjoy helping people appreciate and understand science, which can be intimidating and confusing. I am willing to work with students to find an effective AND fun learning strategy to ensure that studying is not simply a chore, but something that is engaging and interesting.

I am a graduate of Cleveland State University and Concordia University. I have 3 degrees: BS in Mathematics, BA in Spanish, and MEd in Curriculum and Instruction of Math. I have a passion for math and it has always been my favorite subject. It teaches us how to critically think which is imperative in life outside of the classroom as well as in. I love helping students that have previously struggled find those aha moments and it just makes my day.

I have over 15 years teaching Arizona real estate Pre-licensing and Broker classes. I have taught all the required 90 hours of schooling in order to obtain a real estate license. Additionally, I have been a Adjunct Professor with the Mesa Community College teaching real estae and appraisal classes. Additional teaching experience includes substitute teaching for Mesa and Apache Junction school districts.This teaching experience coupled with a strong desire to assist people in obtaining their real estate license makes me a willing partner in your career.

I graduated from the University of Portland with a Bachelor's in General Studies, with a focus on English and Psychology. Throughout my high school and college years I volunteered and later worked at a teen suicide hotline where, in addition to supporting teens in crisis, I taught lessons on mental health to middle schools and high schools and mentored over 100 teenage volunteers. My favorite subjects to tutor in are English, History, and Social Sciences. (I was also a theatre kid and have a soft spot for Drama!) As someone who struggled in their own education, I firmly believe that working with students to create an individualized approach that works best for them is the key to success. I hope to provide the educational support to struggling students that I wasn't afforded.

My name is Nick. I am currently a Sophomore at the University of Portland. I am in the National Honors Society since high school and I have been tutoring ever since. I love helping students understand tough subjects and seeing them progress as the year progresses. Being able to help others is truly wonderful, and I hope I am able to push students who are having a difficult time in the right direction. I love math and science, as they came naturally to me as I learned those subjects in high school and in college. I look forward to helping students understand those subject areas better. From basic elementary math to college-level math courses, I am able to get to know each individual so that they do not feel awkward or uncomfortable with me or any subject they may encounter.
