I am currently working towards a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from Western Oregon University. I tutored for two years in a campus tutoring center at Chemeketa Community College and have also done private tutoring. I tutor various levels of math, from elementary to calculus and I will be expanding my selection as I take more classes. When I tutor, my goal is to give students the confidence to do math on their own. My philosophy is to make sure that the subject is understood well enough that the student eventually become self-sufficient in the areas being learned. My hobbies besides math are reading, writing, sewing, playing instruments, and learning languages.

I am currently finishing up my Freshman year at Western Oregon University near Salem. I am studying right now to become a middle/high school science teacher. I would like to be a chemistry teacher in the future. While being pretty proficient in chemistry I am also well versed when it comes to Algebra and other math subjects. I have a lot of informal experience when it comes to tutoring and have been able to help a lot of my friends and fellow classmates through chemistry classes. I can be a great tutor because I can think of things in many different ways which makes it easier to teach different types of students .I would love to get the chance to tutor students and help them to better understand and grasp the materials put before them.

I was born and raised in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I attended George Fox University for my undergraduate work. I earned my Bachelor's of Art in Writing/Literature and Religious Studies. I also had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Paraguay. After taking a year off to save up money, I returned to school at Western Oregon University, and I earned my Master's of Art in Teaching. Two days after receiving my diploma, I was offered a job to teach here in Arizona.I have always had a desire to learn and grow and I wish to inspire that desire in others. This is why I became a teacher. This is my third year teaching in the Vail School District and while there have been challenges, I have never had such a rewarding experience. When the light bulb moment happens with a student, it is the best feeling in the world. Throughout my experience as a Teacher, I have found that not all of students learn the same way, and that some take more time to grasp certain concepts. I know that this feeling can be discouraging for a student because I felt that way in certain subject areas. I strive to keep an open mind and positive attitude in all that I do.In my spare time, I try to catch up on my reading. I also enjoy a good Netflix marathon, especially when I have ice cream or pop corn available. If I am feeling extra energetic, you might find me on a run or a hike.

I am a graduate from Western Oregon University with a BA in American Sign Language Studies and a minor in Forensic Psychology. I have taught students from the ages of 5-65 in a wide variety of subjects. I have special experience with individuals in the Deaf and DeafBlind community and with individuals who have special needs, such as autistic students and those with processing delays, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and IEPs. I treat all students and parents with respect and I ask that I also be treated the same way. My contact hours are between 10am-6pm Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. Please understand that if I do not immediately respond to a message, I am engaged with another client and will respond at the earliest convenience. I look forward to getting to know you and your student.

I've always thrived in an academic environment. I love learning for the sake of learning, and in turn love helping others on their educational journey.My teaching philosophy is centered around building a deep understanding of the material, I have my students complete problems themselves and offer support and explanations when there is a question or a gap in their knowledge. I spend a lot of time thinking of ways to visualize complex topics, and finding ways to communicate over a wide range of learning styles.I am one of those who needs tactile, auditory and visual methods of learning to really deeply absorb a topic, so I try to listen to my students and approach their lessons with the lens which fits them best. I love big concepts and like to connect simple skills to the larger picture in a way that stops anyone from coming from a lesson saying "Why should I learn this?". No matter how old they are, or whether they are passionate about the subject, learning is a joy and I hope to impart that lesson above any other to my students. :)

Hi there! I'm a licensed elementary school teacher with a heart for helping kids grow in their love for reading and learning. I earned my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Western Oregon University and hold certification to teach English to students who are learning English as a second (or third) language. Over the years, I've taught elementary school and pre-school, and I spent two years working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. This experience deepened my understanding of how every child learns in their own special way. I'm excited to partner with you and your child to make this school year full of confidence, growth, and joy!

I love working with people to help them develop a better understanding for mathematics so they can reach their goals. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from UC Santa Barbara and a Master's degree in Teaching from Western Oregon University. I have been working with adult math students at a local community college for over 15 years and now I teach at Western Oregon University. I've also taught at the middle school and high school level in Oregon.As a tutor, I hope to help students who need extra time and an extra resource to succeed in their math pursuits. I have helped students who are taking independent study classes, students who are behind in their public school classes, and students who are studying for state exams.I know that most people don't share my love of the beauty of mathematics, but I hope to convince them of how math is such an important part of our everyday lives. Just as it is critical for people to be able to read in today's society, it is equally important for people to be mathematically literate.

As a certified teacher in Oregon with a Master's in Teaching from Western Oregon University, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive in subjects such as Algebra, Chemistry, and Geometry. With over 20 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I utilize interactive methodologies that encourage student engagement and critical thinking. My goal is to make complex concepts accessible and enjoyable, helping students build confidence in their abilities. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to guiding them on their academic journey. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring science-related hobbies that further ignite my passion for education.

Hello! I am a post-doctoral neuroscientist with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University at Albany in New York and my Bachelor's of Science is in Psychology and Biology from Western Oregon University. I have been mentoring and tutoring high school, undergraduate, and graduate students for over 10 years across a variety of scientific disciplines. I love all areas of biology and use chemistry and math on a daily basis with my job, while I also have a degree emphasis in studio art from my undergraduate institution, which provides me with a broad background of expertise. I also have extensive public speaking experience and have mentored several people in developing/refining this skill. Additionally, I have done considerable work in writing mentorship ranging from college application essays to manuscripts. I have edited all my undergraduate's medical and graduate school essays, and I'm very proud that all of them have been accepted into a program of their choosing.I pride myself on figuring out the unique style of learning that each student has, and then break down the material to enable him/her to enhance academic confidence and success. I encourage communication on both ends and believe that hard work and success on the part of the student should be rewarded in order to further reinforce the new learning behaviors.Outside of science I avidly pursue photography and culinary arts. I love nature and hiking, rafting, kayaking, camping, sports, anything that gets me outside. Now that I'm done with school I hope to re-establish my creative side and refine some of my studio art skills. I am also learning botany this year while planting my own garden for the first time.

Everyone has the ability to learn. Finding the way to help people learn is my passion and talent! I received my first teaching certificate in 1990 from Western Oregon University and began teaching elementary school full time in 1992. While raising my 4 children, I substituted in grades PreK-12. I have experience tutoring basic skills in math and reading for ages 3-adult learners.In 2014 I received my Master's degree in Education Information Technology from Western Oregon University. I am currently a part time technology teacher in grades K-5. Finding online activities to increase learning and motivation is a big part of my job and I have a collected a vast amount of free internet resources to help students achieve their learning goals.The most effective way to tutor/teach/coach is to ask questions to help the learner think about the process needed to solve a problem or learn a skill. Relating the learning to student interests is important for motivation and understanding. For retention I find it helpful to have the student reflect on the skills they have learned by demonstrating their learning in a variety of ways.Outside teaching, I enjoy singing, camping, walking, my family, and my two beagles. I am looking forward to hearing the interests and stories of my students while tutoring.

I hold a Masters Degree in Education, a Bachelors in American Sign Language/Minor in Linguistics, and am currently working on an additional Masters in Educational Technology. I've taught preschool for four years and as an elementary Teacher for the last 5 years. In addition, I taught English as a Foreign Language in South Korea for a year to ages preK-High School.

I want to to know the true, love the good, and enjoy the beautiful in a way that makes me hopeful about life, helpful to others, and thoughtful about the future.
