And now I'm rocking it in medical school! I would not be who I am today without the empowerment Kate gave (gives!) me; it's not just study tools and help with topics that stand out for me, but even more important, the way she helps me see that women can be (and are) awesome at math and science. That confidence is something she has instilled in dozens of young women like me and it's been incredible to hear from some of them over the years about the ways she helped each of us find our path, our voice, and our success in math/science!

From the owner: Core specialties: adult students, neurodivergent students…read more 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.

Scott has built a really well organized and structured tutoring business. For me, this is a big plus as it has made their teachers and content more credible in a world of unreliable tutors who typically post their vague tutoring services on Craigslist (I know you've all been there). It's been really nice to call North Avenue Education 6 months after my exam and ask for some quick advice. The tutors never forget you and are always willing to lend a helping hand. A few pieces of constructive feedback: - Have a little bit of cushion in between sessions, so that you have time to review notes before a session or in the event your previous session runs over - Have both a structured and more free-flowing option when tutoring in english and writing. While these sessions were useful for me, I found them challenging at times, because I felt my instructor was trying to apply a tutoring methodology that didn't work for me. Be flexible! - Have open study space and/or office hours (which they do now, so yay! I am very excited about this.) All in all, I give North Avenue a 5 despite the feedback above, because I am really impressed with how much they care and want to improve their services. At the end of the day, that is the most important thing to me in a tutoring service! Thank you North Avenue!
