Estelle
I am an ESL teacher with 10 years of experience

After that experience I knew without a doubt that I wanted to be an English teacher as my career. After returning to the states I completed my master's in TESOL. I have taught and tutored both community and academic English learners in the Portland area for the last eight years. I absolutely love meeting new p... Read more
Donny
writing tutor, acting coach, speech criticism
I can coach you through character building, relaxation exercises, vocal warmups, and running lines. More importantly, I can help find what the character is doing in the scene.

I am a college graduate with a degree in English literature. This means I have lots of experience with reading, writing, proofreading, and editing essays. I completed two years of a credential program for teaching when I realized I wanted to do my individualized teaching/instructing, and left the credential program. If there is one thing that I have learned in my life so far - it is that each person has a different learning style, and I will try my best to work with you and develop a meth... Read more

Thomas
Political Science Professor with 10+ Years of Experience
I taught courses in political science for more than ten years. It was not a matter of addressing students in a large lecture hall. I interacted with students in settings that facilitated discussion. My students learned to make arguments and to defend them. The courses that I taught included all the major subfields of political science, but they focused on the American political tradition. Where appropriate, I assigned readings from primary sources, because I found that these require a... Read more
