Experienced, Enthusiastic and Patient Tutor

I have six years of tutoring/teaching experience, helping students come to a well developed understanding of the subjects they struggle with. Part of this experience includes a year teaching English in a classroom setting in South Korea. Through these positions I worked with students from the ages of 6 to 22, with varying levels of expertise and learning styles. Due to this I have developed an ability to work successfully with a wide range of students.
I am a patient teacher who works diligently to ensure the student's confidence and strength in the subject matter. I believe that there are many ways to approach a topic, and it is my duty to find the approach that allows the student to full understand. I worked to instill the skills the student's needs through thorough explanations, practice, and encouragement.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience ranging from housework to mechanical to clerical. I like to help individuals who truly want the help. I help my kids with their own homework and understand how difficult it maybe for other parents to help their children after working long hours. Adults wanting to relearn any subjects will be treated respectfully, as well as children of any age.
Learning through real-life examples is the best way to use what needs to be learned.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

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. I love teaching children and helping them to first realize their abilities and then to reach their potential. Many children are not able to even begin to develop their abilities because they do not have healthy surroundings. I want to help create a positive learning atmosphere so each child's learning experience is positive. I believe in working with each child as a whole person, who has unique dreams and talents. Through education I am able to open up their minds and let them explore the vastness of the world in which we live. I want to be one of the people who make a difference through the lives of children. I too love learning and am dedicated to be a life-long learner myself so that I c ... read more

I lived in Costa Rica in for 25 years and my Spanish is excellent. Because Spanish is my 2nd language I have some keen insights into how best to attack the grammar. I taught English as a second language while in Costa Rica and I have been teaching in a Dual language Program for the past 8 years. I feel competent to tutor students in the area of Spanish at all levels and to help Spanish speakers with their English skills.
I would be most comfortable tutoring if I had access to the student's teacher's syllabus, textbooks and /or student classwork, quizzes and exams. My goal would be to reinforce the areas that are being covered in the classroom to help the student achieve better understanding of the coursework.

A Little Bit About Me...

The voyage of deepening a child’s enthusiasm to write and read well is so delightful and satisfying! This revelation didn’t come in my writing courses in high school or college but when I taught my four children to read and write. Now that they’re all in college or graduated from college, I once again became available for tutoring. Several college and university students can attest that with my tutoring their writing has become stronger and their grades have risen. Meanwhile, I continued structured writing in the form of manuals, educational brochures and Power Point presentations for doctor offices.
Every child has a window of time when learning to write and read is at its peak. I’ve observed this can begin as early as three or four years of age. Yet the child who discovers his/her fascination with language at the age of eight is no less gifted. So I believe patiently leading chil ... read more

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 tu ... read more

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 diff ... read more

Educationally, I have a BA in Mathematics from Vassar College, a school where I achieved a high level of success graduating with high honors both generally and within my major. While this gives me the mastery necessary to approach all levels of math up to the graduate level, my teaching experience makes it possible for me to convey those subjects to my students. I began working one on one with students while teaching guitar in high school and since then have continued to facilitate students' learning at various levels. Most recently I've pursued experiential education working with kids on farms, backpacking trips, and canoe expeditions. I apply this hands on approach to education in the classroom as well, one that I found successful while teaching Linear Algebra to college freshmen my senior year.
For various reasons, we all learn in different ways. Often times this is difficu ... read more

At a Research University, I earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Linguistics and BA in Religious Studies. My study of linguistics and other languages illuminated my native language, English, and gave me a working knowledge of grammar. Further, through writing several research papers in both fields of study at University, I gained the ability to communicate in writing effectively. My greatest competency is in tutoring Writing and English, followed by other humanities. I have also tutored Math and Spanish. My academic pursuits have also been shaped by my international experiences; I have volunteered in Mexico and India, gaining language skills, cross-cultural experience, and strong interpersonal skills.
I believe highly in the effectiveness of one on one coaching. This enables me as a tutor to gauge a student’s understanding of the subject matter, as well as their past experiences ... read more
