Hanna
Mathematics and Physics
Since I was a little kid I've always loved being in school and through tutoring I seek to inspire the same love of learning in my students. I have been a volunteer assistant, tutor, and homeschool teacher over the past six years. These experiences taught me about how students learn and retain information, and how to get students engaged. During college I tutored for the Natural Science Division at Pepperdine University and privately with subjects including: algebra, geometry, precalculus, c... Read more
Mara
Writing Tutor for Elementary/High School/ College
Writing shouldn't feel like getting teeth pulled at the dentist. Or picking paper shreds out of the grass with a garbage grabber. (I've done that—it's no fun, believe me.) Maybe it feels like that for you now, but I hope to help you find ways to find words much less painfully. My name is Mara, and I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Literature, and a minor in Education. I am now working towards a masters in Book Publishing at PSU. Writing has been my passion since I... Read more

Stephen
Experienced art teacher who focuses on skill and technique
We make art because it lets us communicate the things inside us that language has difficulty describing. Sometimes it is deep love for a parent, spouse, friend, or child. Sometimes it is wonder and awe at the beauty of nature and the world around us. At other times it is a suffering inside that is hard to deal with. For all these reasons to describe our emotions, often when we start creating something, our hands are unable to translate what our minds can picture. They might be able to creat... Read more
Mary
Experienced teacher, tutor, and long-term student
Hi, I'm Mary! I graduated with a PhD in Clinical Psychology and am currently working as a psychologist in the Portland area. During graduate school I taught several psychology courses and helped students not only with course material but also with written and verbal communication skills, improving study habits and study strategies, and learning how to take tests. The courses I taught had anywhere from 20-125 students and I worked very hard to make the material understandable and relatable, an... Read more
