The academic...

...effective communicator with them when it comes to being clear in my explanations, listening actively to students' questions and concerns, and providing constructive feedback to help them improve. It has helped me to learn about every students learning styles to meet their individual needs. Because some students can learn better by using visual aids, hands-on...

...friends with math or physics problems, and during my last year of school, I led a tutoring class for general physics with calculus. My friends and the student I tutor have mentioned that I do a good job of explaining topics in different ways than the instructor did in their classes. I also try my...

...vast amount of real-world experience in a number of different fields. As such, I know exactly why different concepts are important to master, beyond just being able to pass tests and how they are used in real life. This is important because I believe it is critical for a student to understand why they are...

My goal in life is to create functional beauty and to share that beauty with others. The beauty of mathematics and language are a few examples of beauty for which I hope to share my passion while also helping you succeed in your studies.

I am a computer scientist and mathematician with a passion for STEM disciplines. Sharing my passion and knowledge with others brings me great joy and a sense of purpose and community. Teaching is both a science and an art form, and catering to different learning styles is a strength of mine.

...Art. I spent several years traveling internationally before coming back to pursue an AAS in Paramedicine. I am currently enrolled in the program at OHSU here in Portland. My experience teaching is wide-spread and varied. I have done everything from teaching English in Thailand to 8th and 9th graders to teaching college-level EMT classes. Including...

...experience comes directly from the Community College level, tutoring students in subjects ranging from basic math, up through Calculus 1. Academically, I am a recent graduate (cum laude honors) of Portland State University with a B.S. in Sociology. I am also a member of Alpha Kappa Delta (the international honors society for Sociologists and Sociology...

...Science and Engineering. My Bachelor's is in nanoscale science with a concentration in biology. My major consisted of many very physics-heavy classes, as well as lots of biology and math classes. I also took several chemistry, engineering, and computer science classes. My year-long research project that I did for my senior year was a bio-statistics...

...as well as a minor in Secondary Education. I currently am looking into Masters of Education programs because I plan on being a Mathematics teacher. During my undergrad I worked as a tutor both privately, as well as employed by Portland Community College. During this time I worked with a wide variety of students ranging...

...answers. I work with the student and what they know, and we build on that knowledge to answer his or her question. This way of tutoring helps him or her to become more self-sufficient and capable of doing these problems and reasoning the problems out for himself or herself in the future.... I feel that students have the knowledge to solve any problem; all you have to do is guide them to what they already know.

...helping students become more confident in these subjects. While at Purdue, I have volunteered with the Women in Engineering Program and would love to work with young women interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. I have two years experience tutoring students in math and science through the Math Lab at Clackamas Community College and...

...have two years of experience with reciprocal peer tutoring in the areas of Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Music. My interdisciplinary experiences help me work with students from diverse and unique academic backgrounds, and enable me to present material in a variety of different ways. Most importantly, I believe in fostering a love for learning.

...for the last 4 years, and have found it to be incredibly rewarding.

...making Math easier for students to understand, and realize that helping students make sense of the logic is imperative to success. I use a variety of methods while tutoring, including the use of manipulatives and dialogue to help students gain concrete understanding of topics. While not in school, I enjoy singing and playing my piano...

...of the most frustrating subjects for students. I like to show students that math doesn't have to be painful. In order to do this, I will often start with a basic problem that has an intuitive answer, identify the concept behind the problem, and then expand the concept in order to solve more complex problems....

...for the past 7 years. My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The second most exciting thing about mathematics is that moment when something totally...

...statistics and freshman chemistry for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to...
