Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Blue River, OR

As an Art Director, Graphics Designer continually working with communications - including tutoring clients and co-workers in how to frame their messages and sometimes in software use, I think I have crossover skills which would be of use to your students. I love teaching and working with students of all ages. My goal is to address the areas of difficulty and to instill confidence and an experimental attitude in my students. I think that if a student is advised of ways to solve problems and given the tools to search out answers, they do better in all areas of life.

I believe in diversity in teaching styles because each student is unique and each has different abilities in various areas. As a substitute in the Woodburn School district I could pick up material quickly and teach in various teaching styles depending on the classroom. After graduation, I taught on a transitional teaching license. I taught in the Woodburn School District. I then went to Japan and taught English as a second language. I grew up between Bolivia and the United States and speak Spanish and English fluently. I took statistics in university and taught math in Spanish from time to time as a substitute for the Woodburn School District. In Woodburn I taught a self contained classroom for a while. I had to teach ELL students Social Studies, Math, Language arts in both Spanish and English and science. As a substitute I taught all kinds of classrooms including all subject

As a student of the College of Science, I excel both at detail in quantifiable information , and the ability to translate professional speak into everyday language. I excel in English, Science, and Psychology. I have been tutoring for five years and homeschool my 8-year-old stepdaughter. I take the time to assess each students learning style and tailor the material to their individuality. This makes learning fun and memorable. I am patient, easy-going, and able to quickly adjust to changing moods of students. Hands-on learning is my favorite way to teach.

I have taught grades first through sixth in Phoenix, Oregon and in Redmond, Oregon. I taught in two magnet programs, one was with an emphasis on early childhood best practices with a focus on literature, writing, and creative projects. The other was with intermediate grades using Mini Society, a program incorporating economics. I also was an instructor for the Home School Program through the High Desert Education Service District. I was the facilitator for Talented and Gifted Programs in Redmond School District for many years. I also have a Handicapped Learner Endorsement and have worked with children with learning disabilities.

My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12. I have recently applied for and been accepted as a mentor in the Deschutes County COPY (Central Oregon Partnership for Youth) program, and have gone through a 6-hour mentorship training program as a requirement of the program, in addition to fingerprinting and a criminal background check. My Bachelor of Science degree gave me a strong math background, and I have significant experience in writing technical documents, and proofreading reports. Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hop

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a primary focus in International Business, a secondary focus in Marketing Management and a Minor in Speech Communication, along with a certification for Economics through Lunds Universitet in Lund, Sweden, where I spent a semester abroad. I have just returned from Lausanne, Switzerland where I spent the past year teaching English, interpersonal skills and nonverbal communication to two Suisse/French children, ages three and five, who had no previous knowledge of the English language. My academic and professional training combined with my passion for helping others, has equipped me with the necessary tools required for a highly successful and rewarding teaching career. My teaching style involves a large degree of listening and patience. I strongly believe that each student requires a unique teaching style, tailored to his

I am a lover of English - good writing and good grammar never go "out of style." As such, I love to instill a love of reading in those whom I teach. I am a visual learner, but this does not preclude my keen awareness and full acceptance of other modes of learning. I am someone who holds herself to a very high standard of efficiency and accuracy, but I try to convey the need for these in a student by having fun with the subject at hand, be it English, Theater or Business. My proudest day is the one when a student has that "Aha!" moment and grasps the gist of the subject they are attempting to learn, and then finds joy in what they have learned. I graduated with two bachelor degrees(in English Literature and in Theater Arts). I had planned to continue my graduate studies to obtain my Oregon Teacher's Certificate. Due to legislation, there was a radically decreased need for teachers. I deci

After several changes in intended career direction and four years of general education with an pre-engineering emphasis, I have earned my associates degree and transfered to the University of Oregon as a pre-math major. I expect to have my bachelor's degree in two years and am doing so with tutoring as an occupation in mind. I own a small business, am familiar with independent contracting, do photo manipulation freelancing in my spare time and am enthusiastic about the possibilites Advanced Learners may hold for me. I volunteer with the Friends of Oregon Wilderness, and am an assistant organizer for the Bend hiking meetup group. I expect to be volunteer tutoring GED candidates for COCC in the next few weeks. I strive to understand the underlying concepts in every piece of mathematics I do. I wish to inspire a similar understanding in my students by asking questions that provoke them to r

I think of myself first as a teacher, but I think the best teacher is inside the students head. I will strive to provide the tools and the foundation necessary to empower the child to problem solve and succeed in the descipline. Each of us have the ability to be great in this subject; however, too often the methods used to communicate finance and accounting are not appropriate for each student. I will work toward providing an enriching environment for your child to learn. As a financial professional, I love working to assemble interesting transactions that provide a high impact to those involved. My education is in Economics and Finance, and many of my jobs have included consulting, analyst and trust accounting activities. During my career, I have had the opportunity to work with many other professionals and manage and train individuals looking to enhance their careers.

My teaching style will vary according to the task at hand. For example, in teaching or tutoring basic, knowledge-based subjects, my approach is more structured and gear towards building knowledge and mastery of the subjects at hand. In preparing students for educational success, my style is adjusted to the student. That is, every student is different and unique, and will demonstrate his or her own natural learning abilities. In this respect, I work closely with students to discover those intangibles that motivate and inspire them to learn. I can definitely teach young people the skills they need to be successful in their education and in life in general. I have over 35 years experience teaching at the university level including courses in statistics, research methods, medical sociology, writing, and numerous other topics. I have also conducted management training to public service

Nothing excites me more than seeing someone understand something about how the human body works, because I think the human body is fascinating. All the functions that our body must perform at all times for us to live is amazing. My style as a tutor is to try and talk the student through whichever process is in question, and then try to explain the material in a new way. I try to simplify what is being learned, and then the student can build on what he/she understands. My goal is for the student to understand the material, not just get through the process. This is what I love to talk about and teach, and will do whatever I can to make you love to talk about physiology as well! I am a graduate from Gonzaga University with a Bachelors of Science degree with a major in Human Physiology and plan to attend the University of Colorado for my masters degree in Integrative Physiology.

I am a graduate from Georgia College & State University with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. As a chemistry graduate, I am very familiar with the subject. In addition to my own academic achievements, I tutored mathematics and chemistry at Georgia Military College for 3.5 years. My tutoring experience has given me the skills to help students of various backgrounds reach their academic goals. I am a patient and laid back type of tutor. I like to make students feel comfortable around me and realize that I have a genuine concern for their academic achievements. I believe all students learn differently, so it is always my goal to find the method in which the student learns. I believe that all students can reach their academic goals given the proper opportunities.

As an advanced student in highschool algebra, my teacher chose me to tutor one struggling athlete and one girl trying to raise her B to an A for acceptance to an Ivy League University. In discovering their different learning styles, I was able to teach my students in a way they understood. Seeing the light in their eyes as they figured out a problem gave me a passion for teaching. Your student is capapble of learning; it is my responsibility to discover their learning style and present the material in a way that he or she understands. In addition to completing accounting courses for my B.S. in Accounting, I completed two courses in Child Development and Education, and all college level math courses through Calculus. I have tutored students in math since 1989. At Juniper Elementary in Bend, OR, I was a Good News Club teacher and volunteered as a reading specialist working to improve r

I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching style to meet the learning style of a student. I am patient and comfortable explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways. I believe I have the creativity to help any student find a way to make sense of his or her material. I believe firmly in experiential education, in which subject matter becomes alive to the learner through activities or other practical approaches. I believe that students with all ability levels can master the subject matter with the proper support and the right approach and I believe that I am perceptive enough to be able to find such an approach for any student. I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying leve

Over the last nine years I have pushed myself to succeed in academics. In 2010 I graduated with my masters degree in biology. During this time, I gained a strong understanding in many areas of science and math. I have experience writing research papers, laboratory reports, abstracts, grants, and oral and poster presentations. I have mentored students of all ages in science and statistics. In order for students to retain what they learn, I beleive that academics should be interesting and applicable to real life. I also understand that not all students learn alike. Mentoring students in sports and academics has enabled me to adjust to the learning style of the individual. I am compassionate and dedicated to the needs of the student and understand that learning can be frustrating at times. I can help students succeed in academics, offer them encouragement, and jump start their futures.
