Hyo
Friendly and Knowledgeable Tutor with 15+ Years of Experience
In 1998, I started tutoring 3 young kids just to earn extra money as a high schooler, and by 2002, I was doing this as as a full time career with 20+ regular students. Who would have thought that tutoring would become my passion? Throughout all these years, I have taught kids as young as 4 years old to college students. I absolutely love that even when I tutor the exact same subject 20 times, each time is new and interesting because each student has a different personality, learning style, a... Read more

Susan
M.Ed/Retired experienced and patient teacher (online only)
As a retired high school math teacher, I have over 23 years of classroom experience helping students make sense of math. I quickly assess why a particular topic or problem is confusing for each individual. Sometimes it only takes a session or two to make math come into focus for a person. Other students may need ongoing support or someone they know will be available when they get a particularly difficult assignment. It gives me great satisfaction when students achieve self-confidence. I h... Read more

Irwin
High school Math and Science Tutor
I'm a retired Engineer who has transitioned to a new career as a tutor. My specialties area math, chemistry and physics 6-12th grade.

I guide them through the material rather than doing it for them. I've been a homework helper volunteer at the Beaverton Library for the past year and have co... Read more
