Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Beaverton, OR

...found that the key to good tutoring is to realize that every individual student is different. My tutoring philosophy is that tutoring should by no means follow a one-size-fits-all approach. In my tutoring practice I focus on treating students as unique individuals, determining what is effective for each student, and getting to know each student's particular academic needs and goals. When it comes to SAT prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more...

...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, the student is excited because they...

...am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering. Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and...

My ultimate goal is to help my students truly...

I'm a former mathematics student at Lewis and Clark College, where I worked as a tutor.

...in after school programs. This experience was incredibly rewarding, as the evidence of my daily work could be directly observed, and the difference I was making seemed to have a real impact. This opportunity prompted me to continue tutoring. My experience working in a high school showed me how different each student’s ability in any given area can be. The understanding that each student learns differently and therefore requires a different approach was an important...

...full time teacher, I primarily worked with students who struggled in math. I enjoy working with those students, even though at times it can be difficult. After teaching math full time for a few years, I will be working on going back to school to pursue a career in applied mathematics. That means I will have homework too!

...a clear, intuitive understanding of quantitative subjects. It's all too common for folks to struggle with math and even stress out about it. I hope to help more students to realize that math isn't scary. The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible. Once we unlock your intuitive quantitative skills you will find things like math and...

...classmates on backpacking and outdoor trips. I worked as a tutor and/or a teaching assistant for more than three years during school and always enjoyed doing it. I love to learn about everything, and being able to pass on that love on learning is a big part of why I tutor. I believe that memorization often takes the enjoyment out of learning and always try and use my time teaching to develop deeper understandings of...

...that there is no one correct method of tutoring. Indeed, it is to my advantage to work across the age groups, because it has allowed me to develop my style of tutoring, which is entirely student driven. By that, I mean I go into a tutoring session ready to respond to what the student needs. As a tutor, I am not the primary educator, but rather someone who offers what a student might not necessarily...

...Being able to help others is truly wonderful, and I hope I am able to push students who are having a difficult time in the right direction.

From basic elementary math to college-level math courses, I am able to get to know...

I have experience working with nontraditional students as well...

...one simple quote is exactly how I view teaching, tutoring and coaching young minds to realize their true potential. Each situation is different and not one style will work on every student. It takes a collaborative approach between the teacher and student throughout the learning process. Patience and understanding on the part of the teacher and trust on the part of the student are the fundamentals to fully comprehending any given topic.... Students are smart in...

...was a teen. I just love interacting with kids and teens and helping them learn. I have had the pleasure of seeing so many students either get excited over learning something new and having their world open up that much more or having a student finally have the a-ha moment when a difficult topic suddenly makes sense. I look forward to working with you and your family to achieve your learning and education goals.... Caring about...
