Len
Widely published editorialist teaches essay-writing
I bring 20+ years of coaching and editing staff writers in American newsrooms as well as 15 years as a professional journalist, for which I shared the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing. I coach high school as well as college students in all forms of nonfiction: from the personal essay to thesis-level arguments. Separately, I engage adults on book-length memoir-writing projects. My process is simple: It's all about sorting through, narrowing and sharpening the idea before writing. Word... Read more

Jerry
Experienced college math teacher
I have been teaching at Reed College since 1989 and now am looking to do some tutoring beyond that venue in anticipation of retiring soon. In light of my work experience, probably I am best suited for now to work with advanced high school students or college students, or with precocious younger students. My teaching method starts with trying to find the student's points of strength and understanding, and then building on those to address challenges or difficulties. I enjoy helping peop... Read more

In addition, I have tutored high school calculus and other math classes. I love working through problems with students and seeing when they grasp the methods and are able to apply them to solve new problems. I enjoy working with students at all stages, ... Read more

Adary
Tailored learning for success from a top-10 US university tutor
- $60 / h
- Lake Oswego , Oregon ( 97035 )

My focus when I tutor is on tailoring the learning process to each of my students; my goal is to develop students' learning abilities and skill sets so that eventually they will not need to have a tutor in that particular subject. The goal is that students will learn to apply strategies they learn from me to all manner of problems and not just the one or two or three that is on their assignments. I try to provide detailed reasoning/proofs behind concepts that we cover, although in different s... Read more
