Tyrus
Math, Physics and Chemistry
I have always been interested in explaining things to expand people's knowledge. I once considered going into teaching, but at the time there were no jobs for people completing degrees in education. I once taught a course in materials science for the University of Portland and electrical circuits for Portland Community College, but there were not enough teaching opportunities to make a living. Now that I am retired, covering all living expenses is not a principal concern. I am interested i... Read more

Mary
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist
I worked as a writing coach with a team at The Oregonian, in addition to writing editorials (opinion pieces) and working as a copy editor. My second favorite thing in life is writing. But my first favorite is helping other people make their writing clear and sharp. I never impose my ideas on students, but instead know how to help you figure out your writing voice, and feel successful in finding your own writing style. I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and took enough course... Read more

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 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
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 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
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
