Susan
Experienced Math Tutor Specializing in Algebra
I graduated from Cal Poly State University with a B.S. Degree in Mathematics. After working in the corporate world for many years, I shifted my focus to teaching. I worked as a teacher's assistant in several elementary classrooms for six years, helping students in small group settings. My passion for numbers and problem-solving ultimately led me to become a math tutor where I could work one-on-one with students. I now have over ten years experience as a successful math tutor with knowledge of... Read more

Brenda
English tutor, test prep for new SAT and ACT, homework help.
My goal is to help students feel successful and confident in their school assignments, test preparation, and college applications. As a tutor and a mother, I have seen a great deal of anxiety over these pressures, which often hinders success. I want to help students enjoy learning and be proud of what they have produced, whether it’s a college essay, a research paper, or a literary analysis. My greatest satisfaction is to see students more relaxed and self-assured when they walk out my door, ... Read more

22 Years Teaching Elementary Students
After teaching for 17 years in education, I have had many children who have been categorized as ADD/ADHD and on an IEP. I also have taught many children who did not have an IEP for ADD/ADHD, yet had a difficult time focusing their attention towards academics.

Top-Notch Acoustic Guitar Lessons from Professional Musician
I have 35 years experience teaching acoustic guitar. I am an expert teacher of beginning and intermediate students of all ages. I have a unique, proven method that focuses on not only getting the student playing the music he/she loves(no matter what style), but also on establishing basics and on the development of playing that will last a lifetime. I grew up teaching music to my brothers, and my approach has remained supportive, respectful and fun. Believe me when I say that I can teach you ... Read more
Marc
Lifelong Learner
I'm half artist and half academic. Learning is terribly important to me, but so is self-expression. I encourage my students likewise to learn as much as possible about what interests them, and I encourage them to express themselves. I've been tutoring for over fifteen years, mostly adults at college level, but I have also taught adult English-language learners and special-ed high school students. I most enjoy working with students who come from very different backgrounds than I do. I m... Read more

Eric
Experienced ESL teacher ready to help you reach your goals
I have taught students of all ages and all skill levels in my over 15 years' career and one thing I've learned - I love helping people reach their ESL goals. Whatever the goal, we can map out a path to help you reach it. I've taught large classes and small - small is the most rewarding and the most productive for the student's goals. How do I do that? By creating engaging lessons tailored to the student and their goals. Yes, we use some standard texts. Yes, you will need to study. But it w... Read more
Joel
Tutor who has patience and has great customer service skills
I have tutored in the past. I have tutored people of all ages from young kids to adults. I enjoy it when my students learn how to do something that they did not know before. When I leave the student, they will have a better understanding of their computer. I do have patience and great customer service skills (listening, understanding, explaining, and demonstrating). I want to share my knowledge with someone who wants to learn. I want to make a difference in both our lives. So, you ... Read more
Eli
Experienced Spanish instructor and tutor with near native fluency
I began learning Spanish shortly after high school and fell in love with the language after nearly two years of being frustrated and wanting to give up. I slowly finished my bachelor's degree while working and taking time off to live abroad in Mexico where I met my wife. After that I completed my Masters degree in Spanish while teaching undergraduate Spanish courses at Portland State University where I am now an adjunct instructor. I mainly tutor during the summer months and I have limited... Read more
