Certified Tutors From University of Oregon

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...others, as I have in the past relied on tutors to get me through some tough topics. As for other interests outside tutoring, I am very interested in languages and linguistics, as I currently teach graduate and undergraduate linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University. Outside my day job, I run and bike, and I'm interested in...

...aced Calculus 7 (...just kidding about that last one). I have taken several graduate-level math courses and plan on continuing my academics by earning a Ph.D. in math education. (If it's not obvious, I have a thing for math.) I was a math tutor at my university for three years. I tutored education majors taking...

...listen and ask questions to understand all of my student's challenges as well as strengths in our target subject. My teaching philosophy is to bring the student to the point where they can in turn teach the material themselves. This is the hallmark of my approach. I look forward to working with you!

I know chemistry can be an incredibly challenging subject to tackle, but...

...writing, help them edit their work, and offer words of encouragement. I learned fun and dynamic grammar and writing strategies when I taught English Language Learners in Beijing, China for 13 months two years ago. In my free time I love to read, watch old TV shows, spending time with friends, and hiking around Tucson.

...to greater success in life; but Im also convinced that good writing is a skill you can learn, not simply a talent youre born with. Thats what makes teaching writing so important to me: I love to help students discover what theyre doing wrong in their compositions and what they can do to create writing...

...down the details of a complicated topic and then putting them back together to see the bigger picture. I love learning and helping students reach those "aha!" moments when everything starts to come together. Outside of tutoring and teaching I enjoy the outdoors. In the summer I love to hike, bike, and play frisbee. While,...

...algebra to test prep. When I was in college, I continued my passion and tutored freshman level mathematics and accounting. During my first year in Portland I was part of a tutoring company in which I tutored several students. Needless to say, math is my passion. As a student who has taken loads of math...
