Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more

Tim - Math, English and Science Tutor
I was an excellent student in both high school and college. My GPA in both was 3.8 or higher. I have earned A grades in every math class since my sophomore year of high school. I also consider myself an excellent writer, and I have also consistently earned excellent grades. I have also written several movie reviews for fun! If I'm not mistaken, I still have my notes and some textbooks from both college math and English. I often stayed after class or lab to help other students with their... Read more

I created the the Symmetry, Shape and Space course at Marylhurst University. A second title could be Geometry for Fine Arts students. This course is popular because I apply mathematics to art and nature. Spirals and the golden ratio are used to analyze art from the pyramids to Mondrian. Students count petals on flowers to discover Fibonacci numbers, 1. 1. 2. 3. 5. 8. 13. etc. Students work with compass, string and scissors to design geometric shapes in the same way that Euclid taught ab...

I have been a teacher in Oregon for the past 7 years and before that I taught in Colorado for 9 years. Even though I am a certified music teacher, I also have a Masters in Information and Learning Technologies which has given me the knowledge that I share with other teachers and students about how to incorporate technology to what I teach. It also provides me with the ability to seek and utilize websites and apps that can help aide children as they learn. Even though I am a music teacher, ... Read more

I'm a current college student finishing my last term at Clackamas Community College before I start at Portland State to major in Spanish and minor in education. Helping others learn difficult concepts, and overcome obstacles in their learning is a really fun and rewarding experience for me. Combining methods I learned from my own classes, as well as methods I learned in some of my education courses has been really helpful when I've tutored in the past. As a current student, I feel like I am a... Read more
Richard
German/ English tutor
I am a former Middle School/High School freshman level German language teacher. I learned German as a native English speaker, so I know it's not easy to learn another language, but it can be done. I had to travel to Germany to get proficient, and I recommend that to anyone who wishes to get very good at learning German, however I also recommend having a good knowledge base before embarking on such an adventure, as you will get so much more from the experience. I like to use active learning te... Read more

Caring, Patient Tutor, Let me help your child to read.
My teaching experience includes 15 years in the public schools as a certified teacher (substitute teacher) and an educational assistant/special education assistant. Initially, I received my California Teaching Credential,(I have updated with an Oregon Teaching Credential), with the intention of teaching my own class, but I have found that my preference is geared towards the individual student's needs. Over the years I have worked with both students who were struggling in the classroom and t... Read more
