I am a graduate of Oregon State University with a B.Sc. in Biology and three years of experience as a lab technician in pharmaceutical research and development. I also have nine years of tutoring experience, spanning 1st grade to 4th-year college, and I am the founder and lead tutor at Central Oregon Tutoring, a tutoring agency connecting Central Oregon students with the highest quality academic mentorship available. Subjects I have tutored include Pre-Algebra and Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calc and Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, Reading, Writing, and standardized test prep, among others. When starting out with a new student I will sit down and talk about any specific problem areas in their classes to see which aspects of their learning should be emphasized most during our sessions. Additionally, I dedicate 1-2 hr a week per student to making study materials and upcoming test or quiz prep problem sets. I am passionate about teaching and I value my time spent tutoring as preparation for a teaching position later in life. All of the study materials I create will be culled directly from content discussed in a student's class so your time will be spent focusing on the material most relevant to your learning.
I was born in Central Texas where I lived for the first 12 years of my life before moving to Bend, OR where I have spent the last 19 years. Some of my hobbies include camping, hiking, and most outdoor activities, typical Bend-ite stuff! I have an immense appreciation for learning and teaching, and I take my role as a tutor very seriously. I strive to ensure not only a satisfactory grade but also a lifelong appreciation for the pursuit of truth and knowledge, an appreciation that is crucial to maximizing academic performance but more importantly helps one to achieve their own long-term intellectual potential. Please take a look at my profile and if I sound like a good fit send me a message, I look forward to working with you!
