Award-Winning SAT Reading Tutors in Portland, OR

Hi! I'm Alex, a freshman at Dartmouth College. I've pursued my academic passions, particularly writing and literature, history, and mathematics passionately throughout high school, and now I would love to pass on the knowledge I've gained to students who are eager to learn.

...Maine, where I majored in Rhetoric. I have been working with students for over 10 years, and I love the opportunity to not just teach new ideas, but to connect with the students and learn from them.

I love music of all kinds, the writing of George Saunders and...

...School was daunting at first but I settled in quickly. In my first full year teaching, I was assigned to the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) team.

While teaching, I like to use individualized...

...their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to figure out their own interpretations and make their own edits. While the reading and writing of books is my passion, I also have deep love for music, cats, and travel.

...concepts while also making the learning process enjoyable. As a current college student and fairly recent high school graduate, I can relate well to what my tutoring students are going through, and I am aware of their teachers’ expectations. I encourage all of my students to ask plenty of questions whenever they are confused, as that is the best way to learn. In my free time, I love playing the piano. I am primarily a...
