Mary
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist
I worked as a writing coach with a team at The Oregonian, in addition to writing editorials (opinion pieces) and working as a copy editor. My second favorite thing in life is writing. But my first favorite is helping other people make their writing clear and sharp. I never impose my ideas on students, but instead know how to help you figure out your writing voice, and feel successful in finding your own writing style. I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and took enough course... Read more

Gabriel
Understanding and patient tutor who explains in new ways
I have always been above average at math. I finished 2 years of calculus in high school (during which I tutored some class mates) but I'm also aware that gifts come on a spectrum. I've been given great opportunities that allow me to better connect with people that I am working with and don't make them feel bad. For example, I was in my second year of calculus at 17 years old. For many people who struggle at math, that would be intimidating, but a 12 year old taught the class. I've also worked... Read more

I also ask about how they feel about their classes, and what makes them feel that way. My priority when starting the tutoring process with a new student is to always make sure that they feel safe to make mistakes with me,... Read more
