Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Hillsboro, OR

...I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words,...

...I love to see them succeed academically and value the opportunity to be a part of that success. I tutor Mathematics, Physics, SAT Prep and, my favorite, Computer Science. I have experience putting Computer Science to use both in the classroom and in the software industry, years of exposure to Physics and Mathematics in the classroom, and my own experience preparing for the SAT to draw on. My grasp of these subjects is strong, and...

...with my fiancee and our dog Max. I'm in the process of transitioning into a career in software development, and am currently attending a coding bootcamp downtown. When I'm not wrestling with Ruby and JavaScript, you can find me exploring Portland parks or hanging out reading and playing video games. I think I'm a great tutor because I genuinely love learning, no matter the subject, and I think that kind of passion for learning is...

...up through Algebra II, middle and high school English & grammar, and the core subjects of middle school. My intent, when tutoring, is to responsively connect with students, so that they can engage in understanding their subject and acquire learning tools to attack new material confidently. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Math, and Social Studies. Studying U.S. and World History is a personal passion; delving into STEM topics, such as 3D printing, microbiology,...

...University of Oregon and an M.S. in Biostatistics from OHSU. My teaching style emphasizes writing and self sufficiency because I want to teach my students how to accelerate the pace of their learning, not just keep their head above water. I also seek to tailor my teaching to the individual so that they can meet their individual goals in academia My preference is to work with high school and college mathematics students. I have experience...

...I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe it's important to let students do as much of the work independently as possible so that they stay involved in the learning process, and I also find it valuable to relate previous knowledge to new material. But most of all, I just really enjoy the...

...This helped in my university environment because the diversity of the campus was quite large. I enjoyed this because I got to meet different people. Of course, physics and engineering is always my love. Many of my colleagues got together to tackle our problems together. I have taught many people and also learned quite a bit from others. I was part of a fraternity where I was part of the scholarship committee. This means that...

Hi there! My name is Gabi and I'm a 23-year-old from Southern California. After tutoring college students at my college, and working as an English teacher in Spain for one year, I know that tutoring and teaching is one of my biggest passions! I tutor psychology, algebra, and Spanish. I am friendly, fun, and highly responsible. I hope to meet you soon! ... When teaching a language, I think most of us learn better emotionally, rather...

...I am ready to help the student in the best way to address, assist, and solve any problem with all help needed. I usually spend part of the first session to define and outline which problems the students have. I follow the lessons of the teacher and add more examples that will be studied during the session. If I have the student for several sessions, at the end of each session I will lay out...

...learns differently and that the key to successful learning comes from a mutual understanding of a given pupil's ideal academic style. To this end, I try hard to find an approach that is tailored to the student's cognitive needs. I am comfortable tutoring the sciences (especially Anatomy and Physiology), math, French, the arts, literature, and essay writing. I really "geek-out" on biology and A&P because it never ceases to amaze me that the delicate and...

...have graduate courses in Reading and also in ESL. I enjoy teaching Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Math but my passion is English! Grammar, speaking, comprehension, and playing games to reinforce many skills is important. I am very upbeat, friendly, caring, and try to make learning fun for my students. I love to travel (my picture was taken in Mexico), paint watercolors, garden, snow ski, and take care of my two cats and two dogs....

...school to earn my Teaching degree. My favorite subject is Multivariable Calculus because it led me to realize that I wanted to help other people learn Math. I have taken college courses such as Number Theory, Analysis, Multivariable Calculus, Quantum Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Geometry, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, and completed a senior thesis on Differentiation Over Quotient Spaces. I am enthusiastic about applying Math to real life and finding new ways to make...

...we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate new discoveries, and the best teachers strive to develop a personal learning strategy for each student so they may succeed themselves. I've served two AmeriCorps service terms after college and recently moved to Portland May 2014 to seek new opportunities. I'm dedicated to helping others and look forward to getting to know...

...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...

...have found that kids of all ages have such amazing thoughts and ideas that often go unnoticed in their writing because they struggle with how to put words on paper. To learn to write well requires ongoing, detailed feedback from teachers who often have a student load of over 100 kids and simply don't have the time to provide such feedback. That is where I can help. I can work with you on an ongoing...

...the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society while at the University of Portland, and this past year was a TA for a statics & solid mechanics class at Stanford, which included holding office hours for students to help with homework and test prep. I have the most experience tutoring lower division engineering classes such as this (physics, statics, strength of materials, mechanics) but also enjoy and am comfortable with a wide array of math subjects...

...University Vancouver Writing Center. There I did both face-to-face and online consultations with students about pieces of their writing. We would discuss the papers ideas, argument, organization, flow, grammar mechanics, and citation style. When working with papers, I follow strategies that we were taught to use at the writing center, which include reading papers out loud to help find problematic sentences, doing reverse outlines to check the organization and effectiveness of the papers argument, and...

...concepts easier than their teachers. The best tutors are those who have a true passion for the subject and not someone who just have good grades (although I have both!). I want to help if you are confused, lost, or overwhelmed with all the information you have to know. When I teach, I like to be clear and organized, so I can effectively guide you through the complex concepts rather than let all the information...

...studies at Sunday school. I spent every summer working at summer camps, where I helped teach science and art history. In college, I tutored French and American Politics. I believe that teaching material to others is the best way to learn. So, for me, tutoring has always been intrinsically entwined with my own studies and thirst for knowledge. As a tutor, I try to pass on my philosophy of study and passion for knowledge to...

...it comes to Algebra and other math subjects. I have a lot of informal experience when it comes to tutoring and have been able to help a lot of my friends and fellow classmates through chemistry classes. I can be a great tutor because I can think of things in many different ways which makes it easier to teach different types of students .I would love to get the chance to tutor students and help...
