Core specialties: adult students, neurodivergent students About: I have 4 years of tutoring experience and have worked with students ages 8 to adult on numerous subjects, from elementary math to high school level algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have helped students who were behind in math to catch up to their classmates, and worked with many students who lacked confidence in math, helping them discover and work with their strengths. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent students and adults looking to further their careers. I individualize my approach to each student’s unique needs, rather than sticking to one approach or curriculum. I can guide students through homework or test prep exercises given by a teacher, but I can also design a pathway to help students catch up if they need additional support outside of homework. My demeanor is always friendly and nonjudgmental, responding with curiosity so I can get to the heart of any lack of understanding and address it with clarification tailored to the student’s needs. I make frequent use of visuals and real-world examples. I share my enthusiasm for math learning with all students, encouraging their curiosity, while also bringing an attitude of empathy for their struggles. My rate is $40/hour. Lessons are typically an hour long and may take place once or twice weekly or as-needed. I can teach virtually over Zoom or in a location of your choice within the Portland area (such as a library, cafe, or in your home.

All of our professional full-time tutors have over 30 years of experience in teaching at various levels and hold at least two earned doctorates. We tutor students from elementary school through post-graduate studies in a variety of subjects and tests. Our approach is conceptual in nature; therefore, we are able to explain and teach the fundamentals of every subject in multiple ways. We do not reiterate classroom teaching, which, for the most part, is procedural and non-retentive. We endeavor to convey understanding instead of rote. We consider every student's personal needs in education and customize the lessons. We do not perform "canned" teaching.
