Roy T - Gresham, OR 97030 (38 mi) - C++ Tutor - $55.00/hr.
My learning and teaching preference is reading/writing. I adjust to students who are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. I like to use examples to drive concepts home, to make them relevant to my students' lives, and to ground these concepts in reality. Examples include, say, how geometry is used to create movie 3D special effects, or how algebra is used in sound editing in a sound studio.
I also intersperse jokes and puns to help the student relax and be assured that (s)he is in a safe, secure environment for comfortable learning. I have been tutoring subject listed on my resume for about 11 years. Currently, I tutor 1) primary grade children in language arts, 2) one adult in computer programming skills (algorithms, MS SQL Server 2008, Java), and 3) through a couple of tutoring companies. I conduct tutoring in groups, one-on-one, in-school, and in-home.

Thomas W - Vancouver, WA 98686 (39.1 mi) - C++ Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I like to start by encouraging the student to demonstrate what they know, and then give them a little nudge of guidance when they come to something that confuses them. If they're really stumped, then I try to teach them first from a conventional standpoint, then switch to a more example-based explanation. There is almost always an example or an analogy that can explain something that is confusing a student. Sometimes it takes a few examples before you find the one that makes sense to that person, but with a little patience it becomes easily understandable for the student. I received a BS in Computer Science, software engineering, and a minor in Mathematics. I worked for one year at the TLC, or Teaching Learning Center, where upper classmen would tutor other students taking courses they had already taken and done quite well in. I tutored mostly computer courses (programming, excel, e

Caleb T - Portland, OR 97202 (46.7 mi) - C++ Tutor - $59.00/hr.
As both a math student and tutor, I believe the most effective approach to learning is for the tutor to act as a guide, allowing the students to make the important connections. I am very patient and have good communication skills. I am a senior at Reed College studying mathematics. While at Reed I have worked as both a grader and a tutor. Having graded assignments, I can quickly grasp multiple ways to approach a problem and give commentary where necessary. I also have experience working at an alternative school as a math tutor, with students who have trouble succeeding in traditional learning environments. Furthermore, being a current student and having recently taken the GREs, much of the material is still fresh in my mind.

Ryan K - West Linn, OR 97068 (51 mi) - C++ Tutor - $43.00/hr.
My teaching philosophy is to combine clear objectives and relevant content with a playful approach that encourages interest, exploration and successful learning. For focused tutoring or one-on-one help, I like to use and work through examples. I also like to ask general questions and questions *almost* like those that are assigned. For example: Where do you think this type of chemistry is important? Considering this problem in your book, what happens to the system if this quantity if doubled? The intent is to go beyond rote memorization and try to get students engaged. In graduate school, my teaching work included leading discussion and lab sections in organic and general chemistry. Duties included preparing and delivering presentations, review of class concepts and homework problems, and office hour help sessions to ensure student understanding and success passing tests.
