Tim
I'm a college graduate looking to use my knowledge to help!
I recently graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a double major in Physics and Math. I have been an avid learner my whole life and love the beauty found within the sciences. Numbers and I have always gotten along, so math has always come naturally to me. Physics is just math in disguise so it seemed natural to pair the two in college. I like physics more because it tends to produce results that are more tangible than simply equations. I was a Lab TA for physics throughout my entire col... Read more

Let's learn about history and music together!
History and music have been my passions since high school. I found enjoyment in seeking out the controversial viewpoints in major historical debates, especially surrounding U.S. foreign policy. On the music side of things, I took jazz guitar lessons and formed my own band. We played around town, eventually recording some of our own material. In college, I continued pursuing both of these passions in college while adding in tutoring. To apply what I was learning as a music major in the communi... Read more
Steve
"Retired" PhD economist, still an active academic researcher
Have taught economics at universities -- micro, macro international and econometrics -- while doing research. Then I concentrated on research. Instead of my research interests narrowing over time as usually happens, the research path before me broadened. Now -- "retired" -- I retain university connections. Understanding economics is difficult for most students, at least partly evidencing the difficulty of teaching economics to classes comprised of students with diverse backgrounds. One outco...

Experienced College-Level Tutor and Professional Writer
Between my resume and my education, I know what it takes to make writing eloquent and compelling. I love helping YOU discover what "good writing" means and using your new skills to get high marks on essays and on exams. I don't proofread and edit your work; I guide you on your path to making your writing better so you can be successful on your own. I am a grammar nerd with a love for MLA (and experience and respect for APA), the oxford comma, and crafting a thesis you can support with solid ... Read more

Noemie
Undergraduate Student With Experience in Volunteer Tutoring
I am currently an undergrad at Lewis & Clark college looking to help younger students succeed. Tutoring has personally helped me succeed in school through one-on-one learning, which gave me confidence in subjects I held insecurities about. Without tutoring, I don't think I would be as successful in academics as I am today, and I want to provide the same opportunity to other young students. I have worked as a volunteer tutor through Reading Partners-- where I worked one-on-one with element... Read more
