I am a recent college graduate from the University of Oregon. I have spent the last 4 years studying pure mathematics and obtaining a physics minor.I tutor both math and physics, however, math is very much my favorite. I love to approach problems from several different angles and figure out which makes the most sense for each individual student. I also think using visual applets and allowing the student to grasp an intuitive feel can help the student become an expert test taker. I also enjoy time management strategizing. I have spent my last 4 years as a D1 acrobatics & tumbling college athlete, so I truly feel like a time management expert.In my spare time I love exploring Oregon, and traveling anywhere I get the opportunity to go.

I grew up in Sonoma County, CA, and after running around and having a few adventures after high school, I returned to the area and settled into college life at Sonoma State University. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, minoring in Environmental Studies with a focus on environment-based education. I then moved up to Portland and attended the Graduate Teacher Education Program at Portland State University. I received my Master's degree in Education in 2009, and have been working with students in an educational setting ever since (taking time out here and there to have a few children of my own!). I did my student teaching in 3rd and 5th grades, and have done some substitute teaching in grades K-8. I worked as a paraprofessional in a significant needs program at an elementary school, and have taught 7th and 8th grades at an online school.I value education, and believe in teaching students how to seek out the answers, rather than just providing the answers for them. Every person is capable of learning, and one of my favorite things as a teacher is seeing the light in a student's eyes when they have figured something out; and seeing their confidence grow when they realize they can do it!

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Oregon with a special interest in children's literature. I have over 6 years of tutoring experience, both privately and through an agency, for grades K-12 and just about every subject.From 2010 to 2012 I worked as a private tutor, focusing primarily on reading and writing, but also helping a few students with math ranging from 5th grade fractions to freshman algebra. I have worked with students as young as 3 and as old as 16.From 2012-2014 I worked with Northwest Behavioral Associates in Bellevue, WA as a tutor for children on the autism spectrum (teaching everything from grammar to social fluency to self-help skills), so I also have extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum, including OCD, ADD, PDD-NOS, and Aspergers. I am not intimidated by tricky behaviors!I have experience tutoring English language learners (ELL) and assisting with test prep and organizational skills.I am currently in training to become an AMS-certified Montessori 3-6 (Primary) teacher and have assisted in a Montessori classroom since March 2016. My philosophy on working with children is one of deep respect for the child's personhood, development, and need for independence.After taking a brief hiatus from tutoring to get established in my Montessori training I am once again assessing interest and hope to build a clientele for tutoring sessions beginning in January 2017, after the holidays.

Why, hello. As you've seen above, my name is Karl and I'm originally from the great Northwest. I moved out to New York originally to take advantage of an exciting opportunity to work towards the development of a safe and effective vaccine for the HIV virus. I've stayed because of the vibe of excitement and competition in the city. It truly does push you to be your best. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the ever-changing NYC landscape, stumbling about the internet learning whatever it has to teach me, studying politics both as an art and a science, as well as my guilty pleasure of watching the NFL and the occasional Newcastle game.As an HIV vaccine researcher for several years, I was taught many obscure facts and techniques. As a specialist in assay development (making up new experiments), I created even more. All of these techniques and ideas had to be passed on to the next generation of researchers, so I spent much of my time developing techniques to teach topics on which my pupil knows little to nothing to begin. Further, this information had to be passed on with no margin of error, as a single deviation between tests can render any and all data meaningless.In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do).Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular LSAT question might be, but rather why it is so. I don't simply warn you that question X of practice GRE Y is a trick question; I show you how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn how the numbers are combined, so too the placement exams will lose their bite once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think.The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show you the tricks that DID work for me, but I can also help you find the tricks that WILL work for you. The test prep books, and the cookie-cutter classrooms, must remain generic so that they can work, at least on some level, for all of the students who might read the book or take the class. With 1-on-1 tutoring, we will be able to create personalized strategies for preparing for, and eventually taking, the exam in which you are interested that are able to maximize your personal and unique set of knowledge and abilities. I look forward to helping you to find your personal path to success!- Karl

Education is the foundation of success. Everyone can be a great student provided they get the support they need. This means that every single person has the capability to be successful. I do not believe that anybody is "bad at math", some people simply learn in different ways or have not been given the chance to fully engage the subject to understand completely.I believe in teaching holistically, teaching understanding; I believe it is most important to understand the material on your own. Someone can tell you how to answer a problem, but the student will only progress when they can reach the solution on their own. I enjoy patiently helping a student discover their own path to the answer. With someone to help out if the student deviates from the right direction, I believe each and every student can achieve their learning goals.Since graduating from Connecticut College in 2010, I have worked as a teacher to students of all ages: from 3 on up. I have taught in the US, in China, in classrooms, at summer camps, in the outdoors, all over. I have a liberal arts background. I graduated with a focus on Chinese language, but studied history, philosophy, math, science, art, music, and literature among other subjects.I look forward to helping you find the success you know you can achieve.

In my experience, I have found that everyone is capable of excelling. As a tutor, I see myself as a guide through unknown terrain. The journey across is yours to make; I am just here to help you get to your destination. I have been tutoring since High School working with middle school students to improve their reading and writing abilities. In college, I would help draft essays and research papers. Although I can tutor a variety of subjects, my specialty is with the language arts. I can tutor at all levels of reading and writing on whatever type of reading or writing you are engaging in, be it creative or academic. However, my favorite subject to tutor would be public speaking. Most people hate speaking in front of a crowd, and I used to count myself among them. What changed was that I realized no one wanted me to fail. The crowd was there to listen to me, and they all were rooting for me to get my ideas across clearly.Some final notes about myself: I received my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and my Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Merced; outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing video games like DA:I or SCII, and watching Anime and TV shows online; my favorite Anime would be either Fruits Baskets or Escaflowne; I also like to sing.

I am a writer and freelance editor living and working in Portland, OR. I’ve spent the bulk of the last decade studying Philosophy, English, Cybertheory, and Professional Writing at Portland State University. I favor science-fiction (particularly military and cyberpunk) but generally enjoy any story that is interesting and well told. I also enjoy writing and editing for the screen– it is not the medium that intrigues me, but the content.

Hi! My name is Mason and I am currently a medical student at OHSU. I have been tutoring for 10 years, and worked throughout college as a math tutor.I've been living in Portland for two years, and am a Oregon native, growing up in Bend. When I am not in school I enjoy spending time outside hiking and running.

I am a University of Portland graduate and currently a registered nurse. I double-majored in Nursing and French Studies. As a nurse of seven years, I worked in neuro and trauma critical care, and medical intensive care. I enjoy traveling in different countries, and have worked with children and students in Mexico and Uganda. I am a bit of a language nerd; growing up in a Russian-speaking Ukrainian household, studying French, German, and Latin in high school, and also learning some Spanish, Korean, Swahili, and Luganda on my own. I have been a Sunday School teacher, a French language immersion school teacher assistant, and I have also unofficially tutored students throughout the years in a variety in subjects. My favorites are English (reading and editing), and anything medical that pertains to my career. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I've spent a great deal of time living and traveling outside of the USA, mostly throughout Latin America. I believe learning new languages can open so many doors and teach you so much about other people, places, cultures - and more about yourself! I am passionate about helping others learn a new language and have spent a significant amount of time dedicated to education. I've lived and studied in Uruguay, Mexico, and Chile and I received my BA in Spanish and Latin American Studies from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After college I taught and worked in the education realm in both Peru and Mexico City. Most recently, I've spent my time in the US working for educational nonprofits like Teach For America and the KIPP charter network. I love teaching and learning - I believe everyone has their own learning style and am always happy to get innovative and find new learning techniques to ensure you're getting the most from your learning experience. Outside of teaching, I own my own small business which allows me to travel to Mexico a few times a year. I also love being outside hiking with my family and pup!
