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

...and so on. My goal with tutoring is to help people find the way they can understand something, allowing them to continue independently in the future. My peers and I enjoyed this so much that we started a volunteer program for NYU undergraduates to tutor in elementary schools. This has further exposed me to a large array of teaching and learning styles which I try to draw on when understanding how to help teach. This...

...I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching pace to...

I love working with students and helping them to reach their goals! Learning should be intriguing and engaging, and I take pride in making it so for my students. While I am very familiar with elementary, I also love literature and psychology at the middle and high...

...in college this semester, I firmly believe both my coursework and past tutoring experiences will fuse to create a wealth of knowledge both academically and personally from a student point of view. Being a student myself allows connections with the student to be made, for often the pressure of exams and grades can be stressful, which is something I can personally relate to. Academically, the coursework I have taken thus far will be more than...

...a unique college education. Both my bachelor's degrees were interdisciplinary and allowed me to take classes across the social sciences and humanities: anthropology, history, English, political science, sociology, philosophy, economics, geography, etc. I did not learn strictly history. Rather, I learned how to question history and how to apply all the facts and dates to the real world. Social studies is about who we are as human beings and why human actions occur. It is...

...I also have excellent communication skills as well, so I am very comfortable working with new people. Outside tutoring, I like to spend the majority of my time outdoors, whether it's out on a hike, doing something active, or just relaxing. I'm also an amateur computer programmer, and I like to work on small projects in my spare time. Currently I am working on designing a plane and programming it to fly using a arduino...

My teaching experience ranges from mentoring children ages 3-5 years old in developing their language and literacy skills, to tutoring college students who are tackling tough Chemistry topics, and all ages in between. Not every student learns the same way, so I introduce material in different ways until it becomes relatable to the student. Enthusiasm and encouragement are important in order to keep students engaged and interested, and these are the tools I use to...

...tutored students in basic math such as arithmetic and algebra. I have a love for languages. I am an American Sign Lanuage interpreter and I speak conversational French. My philosophy for learning is learning should be fun. This happens when the teacher knows what teaching style works best for the student.

...progress in education. I am very consistent and patient with my students. As a tutor, my strength lies in supporting, motivating and encouraging students along with teaching them the importance of discipline and staying focused on studies. I have noticed that for some students, the actual problem is not the subject/curriculum, but that they need help with time management and study skills. I try to teach students how to learn better and faster by managing...

...studies from Northeastern Bible College. I moved on to teach in classrooms, churches, small group settings, swimming pools (as a swim instructor) and even in my own home. As a homeschool mom, I teach my own children and am preparing them for college. I believe that if learning is boring, frustrating or upsetting, it's not being done right. We can do better! So my personal goal is to help students enjoy their road to excellence.

...evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have gained.

...think my tutoring reflects that. My teaching philosophy is simple: find out who your student is, and teach them. Just them. They are the most important person in the room, focus on just what they need. Outside of teaching, I love leading crafting classes at my local libraries, knitting, reading, TV, movies, exploring new foods and places, and dogs. My favorite things to do include walking my dog, read, or create art with stained glass...

...tutor. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, but enjoy tutoring English writing and grammar the most. I love to read, so I want my students to feel as passionate about reading as I do. I also have a background in languages, which allows me to tutor foreign languages. I have traveled many places and been around many cultures so I feel this has made me a stronger teacher. I like to push my students...

...as well as working with elementary-aged students in various summer programs. My philosophy of teaching is that students are able to grow and succeed when provided with learning opportunities in which they feel safe, comfortable, and engaged, so it is my first priority to get to know my students, understand their feelings on the subject and what they consider to be their strengths and weaknesses, and then design learning opportunities that are specifically designed for...

...with and train employees, and I believe this function greatly helps my ability to work with a variety of students as a tutor.
