With over a decade of teaching experience, I listen carefully to help me more fully understand what a learner knows and where they are growing. I partner with learners to help them discover the strengths and strategies that will help them as they move forward in mathematics.

I am a graduate of Washington State University with a doctorate of philosophy degree in education. I have been working in education for more than 20 years. My experience includes tutoring, teaching, and program creation, development, and management focused on empowering students through education. My specialty is working with students who struggle in mathematics and writing. Through this work, I have helped numerous students who lacked foundational knowledge in mathematics learn the material to the extent that it opened career options for them and they ended up successfully going into STEM fields. Students I have helped with writing have improved their skills to the extent that they not only successfully completed their college degrees, but were able to get into graduate school and complete their degrees. For some of the students I have helped, I have even sat on their master's or doctoral committees. For you, the sky is the limit. I am here to help you to not only achieve your goals and dreams, but also consider possibilities you have never thought of. I look forward to working with you.

My goal has been and always will be putting students first. No matter what a district will demand, my students come first. When a students mental health is addressed and answered for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you back and let what you say sink in.

Hello! I have been teaching/tutoring for almost 10 years now and have worked with students from elementary levels to doctoral levels.

I have my PhD in neuropharmacology and my undergraduate degree is in neuroscience and psychology. I am a published author with six manuscripts in top tier peer-reviewed journals, a book chapter in preparation and have lectured at a large variety of invited speaking events. I have taken many many science, math and psychology courses. I love to learn and love to help other people learn both basic and complicated topics. If you are struggling, I've been there, and am here to help!

I am passionate about helping students become confident, thoughtful readers, writers, and speakers. With graduate training in communication and experience teaching public speaking to college students, I focus on clear explanations, practical feedback, and step-by-step support. I help students strengthen essays, organize ideas, improve academic writing, and build the confidence to express themselves clearly.

I am a current undergraduate student at Washington State University. I will graduate with a BA in Humanities and I plan on returning to either Washington State University or Western Washington University to get my post baccalaureate degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. After earning my second BA, I plan on attending graduate school with the hopes of obtaining my clinical PhD and becoming an audiologist. I love learning and plan on attending continuing education workshops throughout my career. I have previous tutoring experience that ranges from tutoring students with learning disabilities to helping my fellow peers in college. I tutor in all levels of Spanish, English, Grammar, Reading, Biology, and Public Speaking. I currently work as a receptionist at a company in Portland and I feel very happy and rewarded at my job. In my personal time, I enjoy jogging and plan on running a half marathon some day. I also enjoy cooking as I am gluten-free and have fun experimenting with different recipes which sometimes turn into disasters. I love getting to know people and cannot wait to meet new faces and share knowledge!

Every student has a different set of obstacles that can prevent them from doing their best in a class. That is where I can help! I have a masters in physics and have taught physics classes as well as tutored students in physics and math. It is important to identify which areas are causing you difficulty. Once you get on the right path you will improve your grades and have a deeper understanding of your studies.I love physics, but I understand not everyone does. I am here to help you get the most out of your classes. With teaching experience and a good understanding of how to create a successful strategy to succeed in physics courses, let me help you do your very best!

I am currently a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Anthropology. As a student myself I know the importance of getting the right instruction and guidance. Whether you are struggling with a simple concept or a prospective college student grinding to get that standardized test score, I am here to help and provide valuable tips, thinking strategies, and tricks so you ace that test and reach your academic goals. My expertise is tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics and the math/science sections on the ACT.

I am a graduate of Washington State University. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, with dual minors in history and psychology. I have taught English as a Second Language (ESL), both conversational and written, for several years. I have worked with small groups and one-on-one with adults and children from beginner through advanced levels. I have a gentle approach to teaching and do my best to show caring and respect toward my students. I want to make them feel comfortable and feel free to make mistakes. I seek to discover the type of instruction that can benefit students the most and tailor lessons to their individual needs. I also bring with me experience outside of my 'corner of the world,' traveling abroad to Italy, where I immersed myself in its wonderful culture. I hope we will meet soon and have a great lesson!

Hello! I am currently a graduate level student that will begin work towards my Human Health and Environmental Systems MPH at Oregon Health and Science University in the fall. I held my first tutoring job in high school, where I spent after school and summers working with local elementary school students on reading, writing, and math skills. I loved the rare chance to see the look on a child's face when a tricky concept they had been struggling with suddenly made sense.More recently, I have been working at the Washington State University Vancouver Writing Center. There I did both face-to-face and online consultations with students about pieces of their writing. We would discuss the papers ideas, argument, organization, flow, grammar mechanics, and citation style. When working with papers, I follow strategies that we were taught to use at the writing center, which include reading papers out loud to help find problematic sentences, doing reverse outlines to check the organization and effectiveness of the papers argument, and teaching the sandwich method of using quotes to help students avoid overusing other people's words.My favorite concept to explain from my time working at the writing center is how to use semicolons! Many people are both confused and scared by that particular piece of punctuation, but it's actually fairly simple to get the hang of if explained in plain language (rather than what I think of as 'grammar language'). I always enjoyed having regulars that came in stop me to show off their effective use of a semi-colon in a paper, when they have previously been too uncomfortable to use it.While I have not previously tutored in sciences or standardized testing, I am very knowledgable in the sciences due to my degree in Environmental Science and can share testing strategies that help avoid making mistakes and falling for trick questions. I believe a tutoring session should be a discussion, rather any type of lecture, where you should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or let me know if something isn't working. Personally, I struggle in math and never thought I would be able to get a degree that requires the math skills that my BS did and MPH will. However, I now believe that anyone can succeed in any subject, as long as the information is presented in ways that they can understand and they put in the hard work needed to make success happen.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from Washington State University, I am dedicated to igniting curiosity and fostering a love for science in my students. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I specialize in AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus, among other subjects. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging environment where students feel confident to ask questions and delve into complex concepts. I tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs, ensuring they not only master the material but also recognize its significance in their lives. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about scientific advancements and exploring nature, which continually fuels my enthusiasm for teaching and sharing knowledge.

My goal as an educator is to set my students up for success. I try to address the individual needs of my students and cater to their different learning styles. I am genuinely invested in helping them meet their goals. I have developed a flexible teaching style that is designed to develop critical thinking in conjunction with course content. In addition, I train students to think broadly and encourage students to identify multidisciplinary approaches to solving problems. In addition to over 15 years of college teaching experience, I also possess rich, relevant, academic credentials, having achieved a Ph.D. from Washington State University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of California Santa Barbara, and I possess a wide variety of wet lab and computing skills, which allows me to design coursework and exercises for practical and conceptual learners. I am truly passionate about education and want to help students obtain their academic goals. I am available to tutor students across a broad range of STEM subjects.
