Best Portland Tutors

Hello! I have been helping students get excellent scores on the LSAT for more than 15 years. During that time, I have helped 100s of students maximize their potential and get into the law schools of their dreams. I'd love to help YOU do that too! The primary thing that sets me apart from the majority of LSAT tutors is my extensive experience and training as an educator. Like many tutors, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT (3 times) and I worked really hard to earn those scores.... Read more

At this point, due to rising cases of the virus, I am only accepting students online. I have a couple of random evening times for ?math emergencies.? I have morning and early afternoon times. Due to the time difference, this works very well for East Coast students online. A bit about me... I didn't start out with the thought of being a teacher. I followed my heart...my passion for math. I have a Master of Science in Teaching Mathematics and I emphasize the teaching. I have been teach... Read more

I love to learn and to help others learn, a pleasure I had for nearly forty years as a college instructor in writing and literature at The College of Wooster in Ohio. Although I taught many classes in these subjects, much of my teaching was done in one-on-one conferences on how to write for a variety of purposes: explanations, arguments, analyses, research, poetry and fiction. I worked with writers from those having basic difficulties to sophisticated seniors working on complex research pap... Read more

I've had experience teaching and tutoring math as a grad student in math, and currently work as a math tutor at the community college. It's been very gratifying to take students who are struggling with math to the point where they are crying and get them to feel better about their progress. I try hard to prepare students not just for the class they're currently taking, but also give them a good background for future math classes. One of the stumbling blocks for some students is simple lack o... Read more

Hi future students and parents!!! My name is Aki, and I was a Physics/Calculus teacher at a small private school located in San Diego. Now, I've relocated to Portland and am a full time tutor, dedicating all my attention to the success of each and every student I have. I've started tutoring in 2012 at a prestigious tutoring facility. There I had the opportunity to teach a group of high school students SAT and ACT while creating materials for the AP tests. This experience made me realize how... Read more

Hi, I'm Marisa! I was born and raised in Japan until the age of 13, after which I moved to Oregon. In Japan, I attended an international school, where I grew up speaking both languages. I spent a total of 19 years of my life in Japan and consider myself bi-cultural. I understand the intricacies of each culture very well, which I think is an integral part of learning a language. Our thoughts determine how we speak. I graduated from the State University of New York - Binghamton with a degree ... Read more

I received my Bachelor's degree in art history, graduating with a 3.93 GPA. I love academia and research so I continued in the same field, earning a Master's degree (3.90 GPA). As a graduate student, I had the opportunity to teach undergrads, and found the experience very rewarding. I loved helping students hone their critical thinking skills so that they could go on to apply those skills in other academic disciplines as well as their everyday lives. As a museum professional, my field require... Read more

Hello! My name is Judy, and I love both teaching and learning languages. I majored in German as an undergraduate, and I lived in Germany for more than three years, both in the North (in the city of Kiel) and in the South (in Munich/Muenchen). I returned from Germany to the United States to earn my master's degree in teaching English as a second/foreign language.

Bonjour ? toutes et ? tous, My name is Meghan and my experience in French includes years living and working in France, teaching at the college level, and both undergraduate and graduate degrees in French studies. After years of immersion in the French culture, I am bilingual and am even mistaken by French people for being French. As a language learner myself, I can attest to the advantage of taking lessons with a non-native language speaker, since a native speaker does not remember the pro... Read more
