Steve
Neuroscience PhD
I love to teach. My style, which got me A's in undergraduate and PhD school, is to extract the key concepts from a topic. This not only made it interesting but made it more natural memorizing lists of things (something I was never good at). Not only that, I feel my training method has helped my retain knowledge in my career as a Neuroscientist. Passing exams is one thing, but when people look to hire they want you to be fluent, confident, and (above all) interested in what you do. I ... Read more
Shohei
Math and Japanese Tutor!
Hello! I am Shohei. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. I have been tutoring at Portland Community College since this April. I have helped students who were studying for the GED Math Test in class and also outside class for those who needed extra help. I took various approaches to break a problem into understandable/solvable chunks for the students. I really enjoy tutoring when students start to see something that they haven't thought about. I enjoy sharing everythi... Read more
Tim
I'm a college graduate looking to use my knowledge to help!
I recently graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a double major in Physics and Math. I have been an avid learner my whole life and love the beauty found within the sciences. Numbers and I have always gotten along, so math has always come naturally to me. Physics is just math in disguise so it seemed natural to pair the two in college. I like physics more because it tends to produce results that are more tangible than simply equations. I was a Lab TA for physics throughout my entire col... Read more

Carlos
The Right Personal Connection Can Lead to the Right Brain Connections
Allow me to quickly describe my own educational history. I attended Santa Clara University directly out of high school because Dad, my adoptive father, thought I'd make a good engineer like himself; this was mostly because I had a superior aptitude for math and was pretty good at drawing and computer programming, at least for that time. I attended school there for a year and a term before I began experiencing health problems--since resolved--and tried to switch to performing arts, and my pa... Read more
Zachary
Mindful scientist with a passion for teaching
We all know the world faces a plastic waste problem. Science is a vehicle to overcome global challenges like the plastic problem and I am pursuing my PhD to research how fungi can decompose plastic in compost. My passion for science came from nature, researching as an undergraduate, and tutoring my friends. I particularly enjoy helping provide that unique moment of understanding and how people light up when they see how something works. You don't have to become a scientist to appreciate it ... Read more
