LogicStudies S. - Portland, OR 97214 (8.6 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $70.00/hr.
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 . www.logicstudies.com

Jessica H. - Portland, OR 97229 (9.5 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $55.00/hr.
I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the final stages of my dissertation for a doctorate in psychology, so I am always actively learning, too. My aspirations are to become a professor in higher education upon acquiring my Ph.D.. I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel like he

Mary Ellen E. - Milwaukie, OR 97222 (11.9 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of working with various cultures, ages and achievement levels. Due to my certification and years of experience I've taught every subject area in grades K-8, worked with high school students in language arts and sciences, assisted with study skills and test preparation and taught reading to adults as well as other college level classes. I have a reading endorsement and a counseling psychology certification so I am versed in Special Education issue also. My satisfaction comes when my students understand a concept, gain confidence as a learner and a person and reaches their full potential.

Tammy Jata B. - Oregon City, OR 97045 (21 mi) - Life Science 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.

Michael K - Vancouver, WA 98661 (2.2 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $55.50/hr.
Teaching for 11 years in deaf education, I have enjoyed seeing a growth in my students’ math academic progress in middle school and high school level. Most children who are deaf have a delay in language learning. A deaf child who uses sign language, English is not their first language. Math, reading, and writing are the three academic subjects that require special goals with appropriate lesson plans to enhance each student’s weakness in specific areas in mathematics. Math It is my responsibility to understand each student's weakness in math and I need to take them further in understanding this subject area. Graduating from three different institutions, I have earned two master and a bachelor degrees – MS in Biology and MA in Special Education, and BA in Biology. Math and Science have my main strengths in earning the degrees. Being deaf since birth, I have learned a lot about deaf peopl

Andrew S - Portland, OR 97211 (5.7 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $42.50/hr.
I have had experience in tutoring mathematics at local community colleges. I have also tutored chemistry, physics and many medical subjects informally. I have finished classwork in a medical program and have assisted with many classes, mostly in physiology related courses. I enjoy tutoring, especially with motivated people. I have much experience in translating difficult academic problems to meaningful skills. I still don't have my times tables memorized but can demonstrate difficult fractions and imaginary numbers to others. My experience in laboratory, design and classroom settings allows me to illustrate complex concepts meaningfully. I enjoy working one-on-one to help facilitate deeper understanding. I would consider working with special needs children or those with learning disabilities.

Dena C - Portland, OR 97210 (8 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I am a people person. I love children, I love creativity, and I love being helpful and useful. I believe everyone is unique and creative in their own way and that everyone has a little writer hiding inside of them, waiting to be discovered and tell the world their stories. I believe that reading and practicing writing is the best way to improve your craft. Being inspired from famous writers and wondrous stories is the key to opening up the writer within you. I graduated from the University of Portland on May 3, 2009 with a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing. I also achieved a Minor in Philosophy. I am passionate about people, ideas, the creative process, and being useful and productive in our changing world. My tutoring experience has only been for the past two years assisting a high school girl with her college essay writing. I’ve assisted in the crafting of speeches and

Keith A - Portland, OR 97215 (8.9 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I have found that fostering various learning styles is a key to allowing diverse populations of students to flourish in whole group, small group and individual learning situations. It is my belief that the foundation for creating a life-long learner of mathematics is to help them discover, through various modalities and the use of manipulatives (when appropriate), the underlying concept that allows the child to attach meaning to the numbers, symbols, shapes, etc. they encounter. I child will feel a sense of “ownership” for a mathematical concept when they can explain, in multiple ways, a mathematical procedure, pattern, relationship, etc. I have been an educator for 20+ years. My primary focus over the past 14 years has been elementary mathematics. I have extensive training in pedagogy and content for mathematics instruction. In 1996, I started on a path to become an educator of teache

Dominique F - PORTLAND, OR 97239 (9.6 mi) - Life Science Tutor - $39.00/hr.
As a biochemistry undergraduate student, I was selected to be an organic chemistry workshop leader. As a workshop leader, I meet with students on a weekly basis to complete difficult organic chemistry problems and answer any questions that they may have. In addition to the workshops, I was also asked to be a teaching assistant. As a teaching assistant, I work closely with professors to establish grading guidelines, and use my knowledge of organic chemistry to grade for a course of over 200 students. I am very flexible in my teaching style, and delivery of information. Some students know exactly how they learn, while others are unsure. I will always adapt to an individuals learning style. Although it is sometimes difficult to determine how a student learns best, it is important to recognize these differences among individuals. It is my goal to make sure that each student leaves a tutor se

My four years at Willamette University taught me to think critically and communicate well. I was expected to have an outstanding level of written communication skills and I honed these skills throughout my education, especially while researching and writing my senior thesis. I have excellent grammatical and verbal skills and a deep love of language and all things foreign. My International Studies major allowed to me to study a broad range of subjects including history, politics and economics as well as studying French for four years. I would be comfortable tutoring students in any humanities courses including but not limited to English, French and European, World and American history. I am enthusiastic and encouraging and I believe that a positive attitude and self-confidence can get you anywhere. When working with students and children I try to create a positive, encouraging, relaxed le
