LogicStudies S. - Portland, OR 97214 (19 mi) - ACT Tutor - $70.00/hr.
www.logicstudies.com 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 .

Christal C - Portland, OR 97202 (16.7 mi) - ACT Tutor - $43.50/hr.
As an experienced teacher I am dedicated to the success of each individual student. One-on-one time is crucial to the development of self-esteem and academic success.

Hannah M - Portland, OR 97214 (19 mi) - ACT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
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 in ed

Sarah S - Portland, OR 97221 (19 mi) - ACT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad. My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging.

Tami W - Troutdale, OR 97060 (20.7 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I love teaching and working with children. I love English. I love seeing the expression in the eye of a student who finally understands the concepts. I know what it is like to struggle and get frustrated. In Jr high I was tutored in English and math. Once I understood the concepts there was no stopping me. I would love to help your student the way someone helped me once. I am a patient, kind and loving mother. I believe English is the corner stone of education, and the key to future success. Many times a loving teacher, who takes the time necessary, is all a student needs to succeed. As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class. I changed my major in college because I knew English was my calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Warner Pacific. I enjoyed my classes and did extremely well.

Amanda S - Portland, OR 97220 (20.8 mi) - ACT Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I am best-suited for the older student. I like to establish a rapport for efficient use of teaching/tutoring time. The more comfortable a student is with his teacher/tutor, the more interested he becomes in the subject being taught/tutored. Some students need extra help, which I am patient enough to provide; however, some students need a little push, which I am firm enough to provide. In college, I pursued a minor degree in English because of my love of English, reading, and writing. I love to proofread and edit. Being a sociology major, I had to write many papers, which fine-tuned my grammatical, spelling, proofreading, and editing skills. In law school, I excelled in and enjoyed legal writing courses. While I worked for Kaplan, I taught and privately tutored ACT students. As an attorney I have extensively utilized all of the above-mentioned skills. I enjoyed teaching and tutorin

Katrina V - Beaverton, OR 97006 (24.9 mi) - ACT Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I recently graduated with honors from PSU and have a strong desire to work with and help children. I have a passion for literacy and believe it has the power to change lives. I am a single mom of a 14-year-old son and have also volunteered with the African Women’s Coalition to tutor African Refugee children. Working with the children transformed my life and taught me the importance of knowledge. I am known for my amazing listening skills and empathy. I am a student of Non-violent communication and use it at every opportunity. I love to teach with symbolism and visual techniques. Most of all I find it is important to listen to the child and see how they need to be taught and adjust to their comfort levels. I feel that patience and compassion for different cultures is also key to the student’s success.
