I am a graduate of Willamette University, where I earned my BA in Psychology with a minor in Mathematics. Currently, I am preparing for the Actuarial Science certification exams by taking classes at Arizona State University. I tutored students from a variety of academic backgrounds at my previous university, primarily in quantitative methods like Applied Statistics. Although Statistics is my favorite subject to tutor, I also very much enjoy other math topics like Calculus and Algebra, as well as writing and Psychology. I take a foundational approach to tutoring by focusing on the individual building blocks of a topic; I identify which of those building blocks a student is comfortable with and which we should work on together. Once those building blocks are established, we can more easily transition into the next levels of the topic. Most importantly, I work with a student to create a plan tailored to their individual learning style and needs. When I am not studying or tutoring, I like to spend my time reading, hiking, exploring the sights in Arizona, traveling, and visiting my family back home in the Pacific Northwest!

I am a recent graduate from Willamette University, with a BA in Biology and Spanish and a minor in Chemistry. My teaching experience began as a teacher of horseback riding and horse trainer, where I learned how to work with a wide variety of learning styles. I also studied abroad in Panamawhere I researched poison dart frog behaviorand Spain, in addition to working in a bilingual English/Spanish elementary classroom. In the journey to learn Spanish myself, I have made many connections that make learning new languages more understandable and less daunting. I love working through the subtle adjustments which can make an essay powerful, and stepping through the processes of math and algebra. When not in an academic setting, I'm known as a lover of animals, books, and physical activity.

I have always loved helping my teammates and classmates learn and understand any issue we happen upon, from French conjugation to the economic shortfalls of the former Soviet Union. I am deeply interested in History, Literature, and Politics. Upon the completion of my graduate work, I hope to earn a commission as a JAG officer in the Armed Forces. In high school, I was a 3 sport Varsity Athlete captaining my football team freshman and senior years, as well as being a wrestler and track runner. I played Rugby for Gonzaga during my undergraduate career, and many of my hobbies today involve athletics and the outdoors such as hiking and skiing.

My name is Jade (they/them). I graduated with my B.S. in Physics in 2023 and I love to learn about the physical world. I have tutored high school, college, and even graduate-level physics and math.

I am a graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University obtaining my degree in Environmental Science & Engineering. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Willamette University in Biology with minors in Physics and Spanish. I have taught several basic biology and aquatic microbiology classes to middle and high schoolers, as well as mentored high school and undergraduate interns on independent research projects. Microbiology is my favorite subject to tutor, as it is always a joy to see students discover this unseen world that exists right under our nose! My teaching philosophy is to present the subject to my students in a way that places the knowledge into a context that is relevant for them and to lead them through complex concepts with real world examples. In my free time, I like being active and enjoying all that Oregon has to offer, whether it be running, swimming, hiking, or camping with my dogs and am currently training for my first triathlon!
