My name is Ryan D! This is my fifth year teaching middle school math in Oregon. I was born in Vietnam and moved to the U.S. when I was 14. I graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescents Development (Preps for Teaching) and Mathematics. During my schooling, I spent two consecutive summers interning as a teaching assistant for a local school district’s Summer Program. During my internship, I had the opportunity to support students with Algebra II (year 1) and Algebra I (year 2) concepts. My internship opened my eyes to real classroom experience and solidified my choice of going into a teaching career. I also learned from the teachers with whom I worked how to break down complex topics with examples that younger students can understand.
Before I was employed at the current District, I obtained a MEd: Secondary Mathematics at Portland State University and an Oregon Initial Teaching License: Secondary Mathematics. During my graduate school year, I was a student-teacher at a High School, teaching Math II (Algebra II and Geometry). Through those experiences, I have gained practical experience that has shaped my abilities to impart wisdom and encourage my students.
Teaching has always been my biggest passion. I believe that my patience, enthusiasm, and passion for the subject are three of the aspects of my personality that make me an excellent Math tutor. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson! Can't wait to learn with you.
