Jerry
Experienced college math teacher
I have been teaching at Reed College since 1989 and now am looking to do some tutoring beyond that venue in anticipation of retiring soon. In light of my work experience, probably I am best suited for now to work with advanced high school students or college students, or with precocious younger students. My teaching method starts with trying to find the student's points of strength and understanding, and then building on those to address challenges or difficulties. I enjoy helping peop... Read more

Providing Reading and Writing Support for all Ages
My teaching experience began in Seattle in 2005, where I worked with diverse groups of students in low-income neighborhoods to provide them with garden-based education in schools and after-school centers through a small non-profit, Cultivating Youth.

Since then I have taught English in Southeast Asia, worked to assess grassroots education efforts with a large ... Read more

Guitar, Music Theory and Writing/Literature
Music and academia have been the two most positive and consistent forces in my life, and I get a huge kick from spreading that joy to others.

In college, I inherited a guitar and haven't looked back. I began performing as a guitarist in Brooklyn, NY in 2010 and actively play in Portland. I teach all styles to begi... Read more
