I try to keep my lessons fun and lite, as when we are in a better mood, it is easier to digest information, and retain it. I never want my students to feel that they can'... Read more

Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more

Tim - Math, English and Science Tutor
I was an excellent student in both high school and college. My GPA in both was 3.8 or higher. I have earned A grades in every math class since my sophomore year of high school.

Dominika
Lewis & Clark Alum - Spanish, Russian, and Polish tutor
Hello! A little about me: I am passionate about teaching second languages because I believe it is great for brain development, maintaining memory, and expanding world-views. As well as teaching in small group settings, I enjoy one-on-one tutoring sessions especially since I believe personalized tutoring is the most effective and often most enjoyable way to learn a language!

Richard
German/ English tutor
I am a former Middle School/High School freshman level German language teacher. I learned German as a native English speaker, so I know it's not easy to learn another language, but it can be done. I had to travel to Germany to get proficient, and I recommend that to anyone who wishes to get very good at learning German, however I also recommend having a good knowledge base before embarking on such an adventure, as you will get so much more from the experience. I like to use active learning te... Read more
