Zachary
Mindful scientist with a passion for teaching
We all know the world faces a plastic waste problem. Science is a vehicle to overcome global challenges like the plastic problem and I am pursuing my PhD to research how fungi can decompose plastic in compost. My passion for science came from nature, researching as an undergraduate, and tutoring my friends. I particularly enjoy helping provide that unique moment of understanding and how people light up when they see how something works. You don't have to become a scientist to appreciate it ... Read more
April
Love to help with spelling, reading and science!
Hello Everyone! My name is April, and my day job is the dental field. I have taught in the field of dentistry and can offer tutoring services in anatomy, biology and dentally related subjects. However, I don't limit myself to the sciences; I love helping with spelling, reading and grammar.

As a student in grade school, I was invol... Read more
Nicole
Passionate Science Tutor
I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia in Microbiology. While there, I worked as both a TA and a tutor where I was able to aid in students' learning.

I am currently working on a masters in nutrition and research. I have been studying science for over 5 years, and I have taken a variety of classes including organic chemi... Read more

Geology is not Rocket Science
I was born to be a geologist. As a kid I was fascinated by natural disasters. When it came time to pick a major geology was the natural choice. After earning a BS in geology at Boston College and an MS in geology at Syracuse University, I have been a professional geologist for over 20 years. At BC I did a senior thesis in the neutron activation analytical laboratory.

Mandarin Chinese! Fun and Practical. Start Speaking Right Away!
Dear Students, My name is Steve, and I am located in the Portland area. I lived abroad in Taipei, Taiwan for 7 years and studied Mandarin at the Mandarin Cultural Center University.

David
New Middle/High/College Tutor Specializing in English and Drums
Hello there! My name is David W. and my wife and I currently reside in beautiful Beaverton, Oregon. I am new to tutoring, but have always loved seeing the process of learning and seeing the progression that a person can go through as they're learning a new skill or simply seeing that "eureka" moment when everything starts to click! Experiencing those feelings myself, I want to bring that experience to anybody wanting to learn or break through those barriers that seem impossible to climb. It... 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
