Portland, OR Math Tutors

I like to approach math topics in multiple ways so the student can not only understand the topic but also start to develop their own methods to approach new topics with confidence.

I have taught or tutored math for decades. My approach is different than other math teachers in that I have students first write the words for all of the steps. This method helps students see why they are they doing a step and why can they do a step. Most math teachers work example after example and expect the student to learn inductively. I teach deductively and students, especially ones who have struggled in math, do very well with this new method.

I teach elementary school and do many lessons hands on. I will find different ways to help you learn elementary math, and reading.

I have taught math in elementary, middle school, high school and college since 1985. I got a bachelor of science, a master of science and a master of education. I have more than 30 years of tutoring experience with all math subjects from K-12 and college.

Also I tutored math standard tests, such as SSAT, PSAT, SAT I, SAT II, ACT, GRE, GMAT... I can tutor students either around their school math curriculum and homework or advance math study.

My students enjoy learning math with me and get into top private schools and colleges.

If you're stuck on concepts or just feeling totally overwhelmed by math in general, let's work together to find a way for these concepts to make sense and feel relevant for YOU. Once they click, they click, and I think you'll find that understanding and solidifying some foundational concepts will make the rest of your coursework much more manageable.

I focus on the ‘why’ first, and then the ‘what’. I focus on making number sense. Working with me is a exercise in reason and thinking, not just arithmetic. I focus on methods that will allow students to be successful in math and in life.

Hello to all math lovers. Im very good at working with students and adapting to their learning style to make the learning process move smoothly and effectively while still keeping the students interest in the subject. I have a lot of passion for math and I like to think it rubs off on my students. I have a bachaleors degree in Civil Engineering from University of Houston and have mastered math courses such as calculus 1, 2, and 3. Partial differential Equations, Linear algebra, as well as statistics, Structural Design, Material Design, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Statics, Dynamics, as well as other math intensive courses. Im very good with people and like to attack problems from many different angles until we find what works.

Math can be hard. I have tutored dozens of students and helped them to have a deeper understanding of math. I have flexible hours and will cater to your needs.
