Abby tutored my HS Senior daughter in preparation of her ACT test this last December 2016 with the…read moregoal of raising her overall score, especially her math. Abby relates very well to young adults, my daughter said she covered a lot of information, explained it very well and kept the pace right at what she could integrate (given our short timeframe.) She was familiar with both SAT & ACT testing formats and gave her valuable tips which assisted her in raising her ACT score 3 points which put my daughter in scholarship range. I would recommend Abby to any student or parent needing assistance-particulary our experience with math. THANK YOU Abby!

From the owner: Hello neighbors! My name is Abby Larson and I am a professional tutor in Multnomah Village. I offer…read morespecialized, effective tutoring in math, the sciences, Spanish language, and SAT/ACT prep. As a tutor, I not only prepare students to reach their academic goals, but also serve as a mentor, helping them to discover their own ability to learn, persevere, and grow. I also provide strategies for academic success beyond high school, focusing on study habits, organization, and personal goal setting. Lessons with me are comprehensive, interactive, and fun. I understand that different learners need different modes of teaching; therefore, I tailor my lessons to students' specific needs. I am experienced in teaching for different modes of learning and learning disabilities. Lastly, I work with the student and their family, keeping parents informed (via weekly email updates) on their child's goals, progress, and homework, as well as our plan for upcoming lessons.

Laura is fully invested in building my daughter's literacy skills. After nearly two years of…read moretutoring, my daughter's reading skills are at age level and her spelling skills have become much more solid. Laura is trained in a number of programs, which allows her to be flexible in her approach to ensure that her interventions are tailored to my child. The most important thing that has happened since my daughter began tutoring is that she has become much more confident, not only in her skills but in her ability to advocate for herself. Thank you, Laura, for all of your hard work! "She is an incredible tutor and an incredible person who has helped me make sense of words." My 11-year-old daughter's quote

I'd been exploring using NWRC for nearly three years for my son when I finally pulled the trigger…read moreand enrolled him. I'm so grateful I finally made the decision because it's made an even bigger difference than I thought possible! NWRC's team is consistent, conscientious, and detailed. They got to know my son (both through their extensive testing, and also by working so closely with him one on one) and due to their, and his, hard work he finally broke through a number of issues he'd be struggling with when it came to reading. He now reads above grade level and is able to experience more success in other areas of his education as a result of finally having strong reading skills. If you're on the fence, just go ahead and enroll. You absolutely will not regret it.

If your first thought is "it's too expensive"- you are not alone. Did we love spending this much money? No- but the quality of instruction at NW reading clinic is really top notch. No amount "regular tutors" were going to help our daughters achievements in the way that Northwest Reading clinic was able to. She progressed significantly in the Time that she worked with Northwest Reading clinic, and we will be doing another few months this summer again to help her further progress. If your child has challenges in reading, run, don't walk, to their website now and get your child evaluated. You will be glad you did. (and our daughter loved both of her tutors Tutors!!!)

I've been studying Spanish with Gail for the past few years, focusing on conversational classes,…read moreand I can't recommend her highly enough. What sets Gail apart is her ability to tailor each session to your specific needs, interests, and level. She doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all approach, which makes the learning experience feel both relevant and engaging. Gail creates a comfortable, supportive environment that builds confidence in speaking, which is often the hardest part of learning a language. She is incredibly reliable, always prepared, and consistent--something that really matters when you're committing to long-term learning. Beyond that, she has a great ability to challenge you in the right ways, pushing your skills forward while still making the process enjoyable. After three years, I've seen meaningful progress in my fluency and comfort level, which is a direct reflection of her thoughtful, personalized approach.

When I started with her, I could barely string words together, now, we have real conversations about life. Gail is a fantastic teacher and has the patience of a saint! She also meets you where you're at and tailors her teaching to your needs and goals. I HIGHLY recommend Gail for private Spanish tutoring. I can't speak highly enough of her!!!!!

First thing that needs mentioning, this school offers parents $50 for 5 star reviews. It's on the…read morefront page of their welcome kit. So keep in mind most of the reviews you will read i've been heavily influenced with free tutoring in exchange for positive reviews. My experience with the school was unimpressive. From the very beginning all they wanted to talk about was the payments and how much it was going to cost they didn't seem concerned with offering up any information about how the school runs. It felt like an extremely rushed process Focus was always around money. The intake person that we dealt with did not seem like she was that interested. Acted bothered by my questions almost. While we were in there the place seemed very disorganized. They claim to have a maximum of three students per teacher but they're all lumped into one noisy room. One of the main reasons I chose this place was because of its overwhelming reviews but now that I know that those reviews are bought and paid for and after my initial experience we chose to go a different route.
