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
Alec
Experienced Math/Science Tutor
I can teach most math subjects (pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, trigonometry, calculus, etc) and all science subjects (biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry - you name it!). I can teach all levels - from middle school to university-level material! I am a PhD graduate student and both science and math play a major role in my life. I am extremely comfortable with all science subjects and most math subjects. I have been tutoring since I found I had a knack for it when I was studying in c... Read more
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

Tom
Science, Excel and Math Tutor
I have been inspired by a few standout teachers from my youth. These teachers were able to get me to come an hour before school to practice math exercises to compete in the state mathmatics competitions in California. I won a 2nd place trophy for freshman competitors but was humbled in subsequent tournaments. I went to Sonoma Stae University and majored in Chemistry and Physics. I then did graduate work in education, but left to work in the industry, where I worked as a chemist at Hewl... Read more
