Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Portland, OR

...University. I taught all levels of Math and Physics at Fairfield Prep for 29 years. Currently, I am teaching a course I created at St. Joseph's High School where I teach students to solve their own design problems. I give them basic materials and tools and ask them to build something. An example is a cardboard frame for a toy car with plastic wheels, powered by an elastic band and propeller. They learn to solve...

...ease. I want to help them gain confidence in the subjects where they lack it the most. I recently graduated from High School and am currently on track to get my Mechanical Engineering degree from UConn. As my major implies, I love mathematics and science, as those have always been my strong points, and thus, I love to teach other people in these subjects. I am also particularly skilled when it comes to the SAT,...

...a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that...

These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with people, listen actively, and provide thoughtful, student-centered support. Altogether, I bring a strong academic background, over two years of tutoring experience, and...

...ten years ago; that plus becoming the biggest fan of Tony Stark (Iron Man) led me to become an engineer and I haven't looked back since! I tutored when I was an undergraduate in college for college level physics and calculus. I've always enjoyed teaching and tutoring whether it's by helping a student step by step or helping them to come up with a creative solution. Now, as a professional I participate in STEM outreach...

I have tutored number of subjects such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics and higher level math courses. I believe that knowledge has no value unless you use it and share it. ... I believe that teaching is just more than training a student in a particular subject. It is about educating and helping someone acquire...

...a focus on Genetics, Genomics, and Development. My passion lies in healthcare, as I am currently preparing to attend medical school this upcoming fall. However, I have always had an interest in teaching. I started as a general chemistry TA, supporting students during problem solving sessions. Then, I helped teach our genetics lecture course, coordinating individual and group tutoring sessions that guided students in content application. This position transformed into a leadership role, organizing our...

...My goal in my classroom and with the students I tutor is to help every student master their subject matter in the quickest / most efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power...

...Mechanical Engineering. I'm also certified as an Engineer-in-training, and I'm working towards making the jump to Professional Engineer. My areas of specialty in tutoring are Math and Science topics, with an emphasis on Engineering (I'm told I'm one of those weird people that actually like to do math in their everyday life). My way of tutoring is finding the humorous angle on otherwise dry topics to make it easier and more fun to understand. Ouside...

...pursuing an Electrical Engineering B.S. Degree and am on the way to (hopefully) obtaining my Math PhD! I'm most passionate when teaching students about Math and Spanish using a bunch of tricks up my sleeve that many teachers may not use. I know many (current) students struggle with these topics but I'm here to spice learning up a bit. Traveling across the East Coast recently has shown me how many different learning styles students have...

I was fortunate to have many fine teachers and appreciate what their talents helped me achieve. Now I seek to live up to that example and impart that same curiosity and thoughtfulness to the students I am fortunate enough to tutor.

...this -- as I took it upon myself during my own education to understand different ways a concept works. By doing this, I ensured that a concept makes sense to me in many ways, therefore thoroughly understanding a concept. Not only do I like to provide different ways of learning to students for those who are confused in an already taught way, I promote students to discover different ways to understand material. From my experiences,...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...

...a Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering. I am a tutor right now as I look for a full time engineering position. Even after that occurs, I will still tutor because it is what I like to do.
