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. I have had experience in tutoring mathematics at local community colleges.

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 learning environment that allows students to believe in themselves and their ability to learn. I am laidback and patient and believe every child can be successful if encouraged to work hard and believe in their own abilities. 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 histo

In my own experience, the key to learning has been to find a "critical link:" that is, to figure out an angle that makes sense to my brain. It is one thing to be exposed to a subject, and another to understand, remember and easily employ what is learned. Everybody thinks differently, so the key is to discuss and explore the topic with a student until you see that they've experienced that "aha" moment. This is why tutoring is so important, in my opinion. This is the core of the approach I take to tutoring my peers, presenting ideas to professors, and to teaching younger students. I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Willamette University, where I majored in politics and minored in economics. I chose to work for a Bachelor's of Arts degree because it stresses a strong understanding of all subjects - this is the core of my approach to learning and education. During my senior year of

Since graduating from the University of Washington (with honors) in 2001 I have worked extensively in the field of finance. Initially I worked for one of the largest mutual life insurance companies as a product developer, focusing on loss prevention and hedging. After joining a regional Investment Advisory firm I helped develop a two tiered investment platform, focusing on both cash flow analysis and sector rotation strategies. In 2008 I decided to return to college to study accounting and economics. I have a BA from the Univ. of Washington (Geography), Series 7, 63, & 65 professional investment licenses, I am completing my Accounting Certificate (PSU), and I will begin working on my Masters in Economics in the Fall. Teaching comes naturally to me. I like to encourage students to focus on concepts and problem solving, rather than memorization. My easy going personality gives studen

I have taught both Micro and Macro Economics at Linfield College for one semester. I was a TA during my graduate work at Northeastern University and I also did private tutoring on the side. My TA responsibilities included tutoring for all undergraduate coursework in the Economics department as well as data research and computer lab assistance. I have worked as an economics consultant for the State of Oregon performing an investigation on the impact of the smoke-free workplace law on the restaurant and bar industry. I have taught at the college level which involved a great deal of formal lecturing. I believe in engaging the students with real world examples and situations pertaining to the economic theory learned. It is critical to get feedback and engage discussion from the students to best assess the concepts that are understood and those concepts that need more attention. I conti
