LogicStudies S. - Portland, OR 97214 (28.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $70.00/hr.
www.logicstudies.com We see education as a meeting of minds, where every participant is on the same level. While a tutor may well have more knowledge of a subject than the student, learning is a communicative and collaborative process; the transmission of ideas can only happen when we acknowledge we each have something to learn from one another. Part of what makes Logic Studies so successful and distinctive is that we refuse to fall into the prescribed teacher-student dynamic. Never condescending and demonstrating mutual respect, the tutors at Logic Studies treat their students as peers, or coequals .

Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level.

Patty B. - Portland, OR 97224 (32.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am extremely individualized in my approach; by creating a Plan for each student based on a careful and non-threatening assessment of his/her needs, strengths and challenges. I feel very strongly about authentic and credible teacher reinforcement for every increment of effort and progress made toward each objective and goal within each respective student's Plan. I am also ardent about incorporating a method of Self Reinforcement for the student so that he/she can feel proud and successful about task attempt and/or completion; regardless of ultimate teacher or institutional feedback. I have taught and tutored at all levels ranging from Elementary through College in both "Mainstream" and "Special Education" environments.

Katrina V - Beaverton, OR 97006 (24.3 mi) - ACT Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge. I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.

Gilbert A - Beaverton, OR 97005 (27.5 mi) - ACT Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I am an adherent of the one-size-doesn't-fit-all policy. I always try to identify with each student's strength and weakness for a course and adapt to their pace. I make my teaching interesting by being passionate about it, well prepared for the class and also explaining concepts with humor and clarity while holding their interest and attention span. I do not make assumptions on student's strengths--I try to make sure they know what they are presumed to know. Oftentimes, it was helpful when I gave a crush course on concepts they are required to know. As we study together, we work to build student's confidence through understanding and command of the subject, alleviating their fear and making test taking a wonderful experience. Living, studying and working in Ghana, the UK and the US has given me the opportunity to meet people of different backgrounds interacting, impacting and learning fr

Sarah S - Portland, OR 97221 (28.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging. My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad.

Amanda S - Portland, OR 97220 (28.4 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.50/hr.
In college, I pursued a minor degree in English because of my love of English, reading, and writing. I love to proofread and edit. Being a sociology major, I had to write many papers, which fine-tuned my grammatical, spelling, proofreading, and editing skills. In law school, I excelled in and enjoyed legal writing courses. While I worked for Kaplan, I taught and privately tutored ACT students. As an attorney I have extensively utilized all of the above-mentioned skills. I enjoyed teaching and tutoring high school students for the ACT. I am best-suited for the older student. I like to establish a rapport for efficient use of teaching/tutoring time. The more comfortable a student is with his teacher/tutor, the more interested he becomes in the subject being taught/tutored. Some students need extra help, which I am patient enough to provide; however, some students need a little push,

Hannah M - Portland, OR 97214 (28.6 mi) - ACT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I believe highly in the effectiveness of one on one coaching. This enables me as a tutor to gauge a student’s understanding of the subject matter, as well as their past experiences in education—both positive and negative. I have also been trained to understand various learning styles, gauge a particular student’s style, and teach to that style. In tutoring writing, I asked students open-ended questions that allowed them to feel ownership in the learning process, and demonstrated that they are not incapable of writing effectively. Further, I believe that understanding a mathematical concept or writing effectively is not based on natural talent, but is a skill that is learned and practiced. I have a passion to see students become not only competent in their particular skills, but also confident in their ability to learn. At a Research University, I earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Lin
