Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Portland, OR

...believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil,...

...in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years.

...originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my...

...has garnered a reputation of being overly difficult. Yes physics requires math, as this is the language of physics, but it is not insurmountable with the proper instruction. To be successful in physics, one must have guidance to utilize their math and intuitive skills to understand the most intriguing science available to high school and/or beginning college students. I look forward to helping you succeed in a field of science that opens doors to almost...

Hello everyone! I love to learn and I love to help others learn. I'm a BS in Physics and I'm confident I can help with any math or physics.... When solving math and physics problems the best place to start is with the fundamentals. Sometimes I have to start with, "So what happens when you let go of your pencil?" Or, "When I divide by ten on this side what do I have to do to...

...find it very rewarding to teach and help students learn, especially, when it is a subject they are not comfortable with. This is due to many students thinking that they are just unable to learn a subject that they struggle with but I believe anyone can learn anything if they have the desire and the are committed to work at it. Outside of teaching I enjoy playing games of all types, such as video games...

...of scientific and technical disciplines, including: physics, astronomy, mathematics, and computer programming. As regards my teaching philosophy, I believe in building on what a person already knows, teaching general principles first and then focusing on how they apply in specific instances, and ensuring that once students grasp a particular concept, they also become confident in their ability to solve similar problems on their own. In my free time I enjoy running, practicing Yang Style T'ai...

...scientific subjects, as it is important for advancing our society. Furthermore it is fun to learn how things work. I hope to make it fun for students as well.

I have over 30 years of experience working with students who need support in their math classes. It is my favorite way to engage with students and with math. I like to make sure students see how ideas are connected, and help them to understand rather than memorize.

...Hampshire College, a college famous for its unorthodox teaching style, I garnered a strong understanding of how to interest my non-mathematical peers with complex scientific subjects. Many undergraduates, fresh out of high school, have developed a strong distaste for the exact sciences, often a consequence of having never been introduced to the interesting fringes of what physics and math seek to describe. My approach to tutoring is a patient, step by step process which seeks...

...rather from lack of proper interpretation of students questions. Taking the time to understand the students area of difficulty and approaching it in the manner the student feels comfortable works very well in allowing students to see why their particular way of thinking may not be correct, rather than telling them what the right method or answer is. I love to tutor Physics as well as many areas of Mathematics and engineering courses. I am...
