LogicStudies S. - Portland, OR 97214 (8.6 mi) - PSAT 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

Katrina B. - Portland, OR 97224 (16.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I lead students in the direction they desire by encouraging voice within their writing. Voice gives way to ownership of each individual's writing; one feels directly connected to the writing process by engaging with their voice. I support all writing styles and offer direction in relieving writer's block. I am open to the individual's choices within the writing process and provide support and the means for the student to succeed. I can help you with grammar, spelling, fluency, thesis preparation and development. 10/11-Present Tugard-Tualatin School District, Portland,Oregon

Hannah M - Portland, OR 97214 (8.6 mi) - PSAT 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

Paul M - Portland, OR 97214 (8.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $42.00/hr.
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 difficult to

Kurt C - Portland, OR 97202 (9.7 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I strongly believe that an education that leads with concepts instead of rote is the surest route to lifelong success. This is certainly the method that worked for me, and I find that, without the conceptual grounding, a student will not get as much out of necessary practice exercises. Thus, when I am working with a student on a subject, I tend to approach the concept foremost, creatively using a wide range of examples and descriptions to elucidate it. This is the best use of my time with a student, instead of just correcting their exercises. It also requires the confidence of the student to know that they can fully grasp a concept first, and then put it into practice, so I like to encourage that personal confidence. Throughout my education, I've found that broad academic interests have led me to pursue a wide range of subjects simultaneously. My undergraduate degree is a double major in

Tyler R - Portland, OR 97229 (10 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $40.00/hr.
Having graduated from a liberal arts university, I know that being well-rounded is very important in life. I graduated from Whitworth with a BS in Math and minors in Spanish and Computer Science, so I know what it is like to learn complex subjects. I have tutored my peers along with students younger and older than myself, as a mathematician and a Spanish speaker. I led a Spanish Live Lab for two years and informally tutored math for four. Also, I have a great deal of grammatical knowledge from writing research papers in math and computer science and Spanish. I love teaching and relating to people. I know from personal experience that one good teacher can change the way a student views an entire subject. I am easy-going, friendly, and patient. I believe that all students have great potential and should be given every opportunity to fulfill it.

Katie V - Portland, OR 97229 (10 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $41.00/hr.
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

Sarah S - Portland, OR 97221 (10.4 mi) - PSAT 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.

Peter B - Portland, OR 97225 (10.5 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $39.50/hr.
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 students for GED and continuing organizational skills. 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 he

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

Stephanie D - Beaverton, OR 97006 (10.8 mi) - PSAT Tutor - $39.00/hr.
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 high school I tutored math and science at a middle school for one year, and prior to this spent several years babysitting and assisting elementary school-aged children with their studies. Though my experience is limited to tutoring, it came easily to me and I am confident that I can help others better understand what I have already learned. As a student that has earned consistently high marks and test scores, I am in a great position to do this. 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 bra
