Logic Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Portland, OR

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

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. 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 strive to make math fun and meaningful. I work on concept mastery. I homeschooled my children through high school. I taught them through pre-calculus. I have taught group homeschool math classes for all levels and tutored individuals. I taught developmental math at a community college in Texas for three years. I tutor college level math also. I love all levels of math and all ages of students.

Math is my passion in life! I have tutored family and friends for many years in Math. I would like to become a high school Math teacher someday, and in the meantime, I would like to get more teaching experience. I enjoy making those who have struggled with Math feel like it is not overwhelming after all.

I like working with children. I also enjoyed observing the wide variety of ways the human mind processes numbers and the mathematical process. My mathematical teaching technique is to patiently observe how a student works and adjust my style accordingly. Even though mathematics comes off to many people as a rigid discipline. A thousand ways exist to teach and illustrate the same concept. I have a B.S. in Computer Science. I also have 3 years as a substitute teacher as well as 3 in the semiconductor field. I come form a family of educators (mother, uncle, great aunt). I college, I tutored many of my friends in higher mathematics (one of which attained a PhD in Electrical Engineering recently). I also recently did some volunteer work in Michigan tutoring Somalian refugees in Mathematics.

I have always found that one-on-one teaching is my forte. Even when I teach a class of 40 students, I find ways for them to work collaboratively, and so that I can also work with the ones that need the most help. I have been tutoring and teaching for 16 years, and I know all the tricks to being a good tutor, such as explaining a concept in as many possible ways in order to get the student to understand the concept. I have received high accolades as a tutor and teacher. This is what I was born to do. When I teach a class I have high expectations of the students. I believe this is important for them to learn what is expected of them, and so that they can succeed in the subsequent levels of math without falling behind. I started out as a student tutor in the early 90's in California. I finished my MA in mathematics in 2000 at Cal State Sacramento. I have been teaching the past 10 years (inc

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 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.

For various reasons, we all learn in different ways. Often times this is difficult to address in a classroom setting, forcing teachers to address skills by giving particular instructions (how to write a paper, how to solve an equation, etc.) thereby making education a project of memorization more so than understanding. I believe it is important for students to grasp the broad concepts of their subject manner, through their particular learning style, then applying these to specific objects as opposed to the other way around. This not only allows for students to achieve in various exercises, but creates a context by which students can relate to their subject, thus internalizing it and creating a solid foundation to move forward from. 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

As an educator, my responsibility is to ensure that my students not only learn the required information but also feel positive and invested in their subject. I am patient with my students and enjoy facilitating the learning processes. Each student is unique and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to help my students fulfill their potential. While a graduate and undergraduate student, I've had the opportunity to teach at the University of Georgia. I've taught a wide spectrum of classes and labs ranging from Physical Oceanography to Cell Biology. My tutoring experience has been concurrent with my teaching experience and has largely been for my own students. In addition, I've been responsible for grading and aiding in the writing of numerous undergraduate research reports.

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. 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.

My educational background and various positions in customer service have strengthened my time management and communication skills considerably. I take much pride in my work, always possessing strong attention to detail and a steadfast commitment to exceeding expectations. As a trained teacher I am familiar with one-on-one student tutoring and have a long-standing interest in education. Additionally, my teaching experience in Boston Public Schools included developing and implementing an after school math tutoring program for a small group of students. I created and followed specific lesson plans to increase student retention and develop self-esteem. 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. I believe that all children have the potential to be successful both ac

My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on helping them reach their potential and moving forward. During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutoring st

I am an adherent of the one-size-doesn't-fit-all policy. I always try to identify with each student's strength and weakness for a course and adapt to their pace. I make my teaching interesting by being passionate about it, well prepared for the class and also explaining concepts with humor and clarity while holding their interest and attention span. I do not make assumptions on student's strengths--I try to make sure they know what they are presumed to know. Oftentimes, it was helpful when I gave a crush course on concepts they are required to know. As we study together, we work to build student's confidence through understanding and command of the subject, alleviating their fear and making test taking a wonderful experience. Living, studying and working in Ghana, the UK and the US has given me the opportunity to meet people of different backgrounds interacting, impacting and learning fr

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 tutoring high school students for the ACT. 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,
