Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gates, OR

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. 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.

My passion for numbers and formulas has taken me on an incredible journey. I graduated from Western Oregon University in 2007 with a BS in Business. From there I was able to have the opportunity to work as a Financial Accountant for the next 2.5 years. This has sharpened every area of my skill set and has allowed me to work in various atmospheres involving teamwork and critical thinking. My math and advanced formula skills were recognized by Senior Accountants and Managers and has allowed me to help other Accountants resolve complex issues. I love helping people achieve dreams and goals. I practice what I preach and throughout my life I had to overcome obstacles to reach personal goals that I set for my self. I love being around children and considerate to every learning style. I know from experience that the best way to teach children is to fine tune the teaching style to the child’s le

I have over 20 years experience in training individuals in materials related to their employment & career preparation. I've also worked as a CASA worker in Idaho and had to prepare reports for the courts/judges review to determine placement of at risk cildren. I was a career information counselor for Marsing High School, Idaho, for grades 7th through 12th. I've also spent many years writing research papers, business correspondence, business plans, articles for newspapers as a writer, editor and publisher, both as an employee, owner and contract writer and the mother of an autistic child. I would say that my style is one of direction. Helping students find answers, teaching them how to research for the answers and developing paths of choices to determine which one to take and determining the outcome of that choice or the alternatives.

I enjoy working with children. I am patient and versatile. I accept the challenge of adjusting teaching methods and adapting activities to accommodate students with a variety of needs in order to meet the objectives of a behavioral or educational plan. Every student is unique, having different needs and different learning styles. My goal is to help your child succeed in their academic world. While working as an Instructional Assistant in public schools, I tutored many students with learning disabilities who were struggling in school. I obtained a bachelor degree in Liberal Studies with a focus on the special needs of students in elementary and middle school. In an effort to help my students to succeed, I have tutored students in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. I have also assisted students in the management of attention difficulties, organizational and study ski

Teachings students one-on-one is the love of my life. I see progress in this format that is outstanding. Students can make several levels of progress in a short period of time. Providing a positive, constructive and enthusiastic environment is foundational to the success of the student. The teacher also must show by their actions that they are very interested in the success of the student. With positive interventions, there will be a positive difference in the life of the tutored child. The biggest motivation of my teaching career is to hold a high standard of expectation. I have a MA in Special Education, and a BA in Business Administration. I am adding to my teaching certificate an additional endorsement in middle level and high school math. I have home schooled all four of my children. Two of my children have BA degrees and another is currently in college. I teach an afterschool study

I am very passionate about teaching at every age level (e.g. my daughter is 7). I am patient and kind and believe that instilling self esteem is one of the most important aspects of learning. I have been awarded for teaching excellence and recognized for my ability to work with diverse groups of students. I have a Masters degree in anthropology (with minors in zoology and philosophy) and a Bachelors degree in zoology (with a chemistry minor) from Oregon State University. I have tutored high school students in math, science, reading, and writing for the Upward Bound program, was a teaching assistant in college biology laboratory and biological anthropology courses at OSU, and later a teacher of bioanthropology at Klamath Community College, OSU (online and on campus) and Western Oregon University. I was laid off in December 2009 due to budget cuts, but continue to present lectures and

I love learning and communicate that enthusiasm when I teach. I am patient and kind, and very good at breaking down assignments and problems to manageable tasks. I have a creative streak that enables me to devise interesting and effective ways to help students connect with the material. I believe knowledge is power and I strive to help all students reach their full potential so they can be empowered in their lives. While I have six years of classroom teaching experience, I've spent the 20 years since my MA in Counseling as a teacher and trainer for a variety of nonprofits. I have trained volunteers, developed manuals and curricula for children through adults, and offered seminars for as many as 200 people. My five years as a writing instructor for a community college honed my skills in all aspects of writing and drew on my BA in English, as well as my avocation as a writer. My back

I enjoy learning and try to pass along some of my enthusiasm to my students. I will work with the student to find the best methods for us to approach the material so he or she will have the greatest success. I believe that creating a structure assists in the learning process, but the structure may be different for different people. This is not to say that I impose a rigid schedule or formula to the tutoring sessions, but I do work to create of flow for the the study session which will consistently show the student his or her progress each time. After returning to college to get my teaching certificate I taught 5th grade for one year. I then taught at a high school in Salinas, California for four years. As an elementary teacher I taught all subjects except science. I taught various history and social studies classes to the high school students including World History, honors U.S. His

I benefited from the liberal arts education I received from the University of Puget Sound, which offered a diverse selection of classes and an exploratory environment in which to pursue my studies. For two years, I studied Chemistry and Biology while also taking classes in the Humanities. I eventually majored in International Political Economy and obtained minors in Spanish and Latin American Studies. During my undergraduate years, I studied in Oaxaca, Mexico and received a grant for summer research. Upon graduation I spent a year doing anthropology research in Peru on a Fulbright grant, while also becoming fluent in Spanish and learning a third language, Quechua. I am here to help students improve in specific subjects and excel academically as a whole. My greatest attributes are patience, perseverance, and hard-work. I always arrive on time and I take work and school seriously. I will b

Getting my Ph.D. in English has given me the ability to communicate clearly both verbally and in writing. During the last seven years I have been tutoring students at all grade levels, from elementary school through high school, as well as teaching classes in English at several universities. I have tutored children in test-taking skills (including math, vocabulary, and critical reading skills) for the SAT and for private school entrance exams. I have also helped students with their writing at all grade levels, on such common problems as grammar, clarity, and learning how to elaborate on one's ideas. I have always seen teaching as a matter of reigniting a natural curiosity which all students have, and directing it toward an academic subject. My priority as a tutor is to help students feel confident about their own ability to master the material. For each student this requires a different

My name is Julie.I am the elder sister.Linda has ALWAYS love kids. From baby dolls to working in the church nursery at the age of about six (in fact, any time she came up missing on Sunday mornings we knew to check the church nursery!), to getting married and looking forward to having children of her own.Linda demonstrates herself to be an intelligent individual.She is a hard worker as well.Whatever issue is before her, she rolls up her sleeves and gets the job done. And I know that this is just one of the areas where the kids feel safe with Linda because both of her girls have told me this in the past. They know for a fact that she loves them more than her own life, and if they ever need anything she will take care of it for them.

I enjoy helping children, young adults, and older people too, understand chemistry and science. I like coming up with new approaches to assist in grasping complex concepts and breaking these concepts down to easier ways to look at them. My approach is to allow the student to explain area where they are having trouble or need help. This gives me an idea of their understanding of the specific area. My approach is "relaxed with enthusiasm" to show how exciting science can be and how it relates to everything around us! I have tutored several high school and a couple of college students in first year chemistry. These include the typical areas of chemistry such as: electronic structure of atoms, the periodic table and properties of the elements, chemical bonding, nature of liquids, solids, gases, phase changes, stoichiometry, acid/base reactions, kinetics, metals and non-metals, complex and co

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. I am also licensed as a CPA and as a municipal auditor, and currently I teach CPA review exam preparation classes. Over the years, I have given many presentations on topics as wide-ranging as attention deficit disorder in young children and financial management of federal grants. I love the teaching role and hope to spend more time in this capacity as I slowly transition to semi-retirement.

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 matters. This makes me qualified to teach a variety of subject matters in a variety of situations. 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 distric
