Tutor with a passion for teaching and learning
I'm originally from Anchorage, AK. I've lived in Portland mostly for the past seven years, while in undergraduate and graduate school at Lewis and Clark College and Graduate School of Education.

Throughout my professional tutoring career, I have taught stude... Read more
Zack
Licensed Teacher for Math, Chemistry and Physics!
Hi There! I'm Zack! I'm a physics and chemistry instructor at a private high school.

Abigail
Experienced Tutor in ESL/ESOL and English
Learning can be fun as well as focused and productive. With each student, I work to achieve that balance by getting to know you first in order to build a cooperative work relationship. And then setting clear goals. My methods include assessing a student's level at the beginning, and then setting clear, measurable objectives in order to focus our tutoring sessions. I like to return to the student's goals and ascertain whether we have achieved those goals or not throughout our time together. C... Read more
