About Me

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look over my tutoring profile. I am recent graduate from Pacific University's Graduate School of Education who is excited at the prospect of working with students to help them achieve their goals academically, as well as promote the necessary skills and character traits that will serve students professionally as they ponder their future navigating a complicated, contemporary marketplace. I utilize student-centered approaches when instructing and when assessing students, working with the student to find what authentic and engaging activities will tap into the student's intrinsic motivation. I am a data-driven instructor who monitors and collects information constantly to ensure that a student is always on track to reach their personal goals at a rigor that improves their personal proficiency in the subject at hand.

Q&A with Derek

My personal belief is that no such relationship exists as that of student and teacher. When two or more people come together to learn anything, all people involved are capable of teaching and learning from one another. This is a student-centered approach that emphasizes the use of activities which integrate the personal experiences of the student with the subject and concepts under consideration.
