Tammy Jata B. - Oregon City, OR 97045 (38.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I have taught for 30 years. Five years ago I began tutoring when my daughter was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder. I feel like I can do more as a tutor than a classroom teacher. My heart lies with these kids and I want to do everything I can to help make them a success. I create an individual course of study for each child based on their learning style. I help kids understand their homework and teach them how to study so they get more out of the time they are spending in their school work. I teach reading comprehension and fluency. My students typically see a two to three year jump in grade level after just a few hours of tutoring. I tutor children with ADD, dyslexia, sensory disorders, dysgrahia, autism, aspergers, and other learning disabilities. If you want only the best than call Blueberry House.

Eileen C. - Lake Oswego, OR 97035 (48.5 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have mentored and facilitated the learning experience of over a thousand students. I have been teaching for 20+ years. I prefer to work with small groups or one-on-one because I believe that the student's education is maximized in this type of learning platform. I love to teach about art, art techniques, art history and sewing. I have a good ability to tutor in history and social science related topics since these areas are always a component in art and culture.

I have taught and tutored at all levels ranging from Elementary through College in both "Mainstream" and "Special Education" environments. In addition, I have a great deal of experience teaching and tutoring ESL and Law Students at the college and post-graduate levels. In conjunction with the instructional piece, I have designed, authored and implemented curricula in all of the above areas.

Nina G - Detroit, OR 97214 (4.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.00/hr.
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.

Kristina D - Sisters, OR 97759 (39.2 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
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

Carey M - Woodburn, OR 97071 (42.6 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $36.50/hr.
Helping students be successful is the most important aspect of teaching, in my opinion. Each student is unique in his or her learning style. A teacher's job is to find the way in which a student learns best and to encourage them to think on their own. Students must think about and discover for themselves in order for learning to be truly meaningful. I am someone who will help guide a student in this direction. I graduated with a BA from Willamette University with a major in history and minors in math and Spanish. I then attended Willamette's MAT program where I earned a Masters in Education with endorsements to teach middle and high school mathematics, social studies and ESOL. I have taught at Woodburn High School for 6 years now in the mathematics department. I have taught a range of mathematical levels: from pre-algebra through Advanced Placement Statistics. Throughout college

Barbara B - West Linn, OR 97068 (43.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I have extensive experience as a provider and manager of human services in the field of mental health, and am recognized for my contributions to the field of children's mental health both locally and nationally. I write items for the Association of Social Work Boards licensure exams (LCSW) in order to keep my hand in cutting edge clinical topics and to contribute to my first love: clinical services.

Tracey T - Milwaukie, OR 97267 (46.7 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I am a patient, creative person, with an ever-present sense of humor. I have a strong work ethic, and consider academic success as both a great necessity and a great gift in a child’s life.
My goal is to make learning fun, as well as successful. Once a student feels success, the fun then comes naturally. I try to build confidence and self-esteem in children through academic success, as I believe they are irrefutably linked.
My hope is to be the teacher that is remembered, the one who made a positive academic and personal impression. Ultimately, I hope to help your child achieve his or her academic goals, to meet your parental expectations, and to share a love of learning. As a tutor, I offer a variety of experience and skills, including two bachelor degrees, BA in English and BA in French. My advanced skills are in the language and language arts areas, but I am qualified to t

Kathy H - Lake Oswego, OR 97034 (47 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I have been very passionate about teaching struggling students, particularly in the area of reading. From 2000-2004, I taught struggling 8th grade readers and could see the impact that being behind in literacy skills has on students. Although I had already returned once to PSU in order to add my special education endorsement to my teaching license, I decided to return again to PSU and complete the Graduate Reading Program. I have also worked as a Title 1 Reading Specialist at the elementary level as well as a supplemental services provider within the public school setting through No Child Left Behind. Throughout the last 10 years, I have tutored students at both the middle and elementary school level in writing, spelling, reading and math. I am very driven to help struggling students be successful in school, as I had a child who struggled and I believe if given the adequate amount o

Christopher K - Lake Oswego, OR 97035 (48.9 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $38.00/hr.
My main work experience is as a teacher of English as a Foreign/Second Language. From an early age, I was driven to understand cultural differences. For 15 years I taught in a number of overseas countries, including Japan, Korea, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Poland. I taught all ages, ranging from 8 through adult. I taught grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, reading and writing, and lots of conversation, and was responsible for assessing their performance.
I also learned Japanese and am conversationally fluent, so I am able to teach the rudiments of the language. I also have tutored adults locally with basic computer skills. Currently, I am preparing for graduate studies to obtain my Master’s in Teaching and state license so that I may continue teaching English and Language Arts at the secondary level. I strive to promote tolerance and cultural understanding. I believe it is

Education has been a major focus of my life since I was in middle school and decided I wanted to be a teacher. In middle school and high school I worked one-on-one tutoring peers and younger children in all subjects.

After graduating I have substituted in K-12 public and private schools in Alaska and in Arizona. I have also taught English in Mexico and in China. I recently finished a 4th grade long-term substitute position in the Alhambra School District. I strongly believe that children are our most precious asset and our hope for the future. I am passionate about helping children learn and grow through education and extracurricular activities.

Jay A - Beaverton, OR 97007 (53.7 mi) - Social Studies Tutor - $41.00/hr.
As a Language Arts teacher, I am well versed in many conceptual approaches to learning and mastering reading and writing. I have accompanied my teaching experience with a Master's Degree in English and Writing, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in communication. My teaching career began in New York City, but I am proud to have called Portland my home for the past three years, where I have been teaching English at a middle school in Beaverton. Teaching comes as natural to me as parenting, the key is to set high but achievable goals, as well as firm expectations and boundaries. I have been regarded as a favorite teacher these past three years, and many former students come to visit me on their own time every week. I am patient, easy going, and considerate, but I do expect a level of rigor and effort that pushes my students to do their best. I come from the "Balanced Literacy" school of though
