About Irwin


Bio

I'm a retired Engineer who has transitioned to a new career as a tutor. My specialties area math, chemistry and physics 6-12th grade. I enjoy the challenge of helping students figure out the material and problems themselves by asking the right question at the right time. I tailor my style to the specific students learning style. I guide them through the material rather than doing it for them.

I'm a retired Engineer who has transitioned to a new career as a tutor. My specialties area math, chemistry and physics 6-12th grade. I enjoy the challenge of helping students figure out the material and problems themselves by asking the right question at the right time. I tailor my style to the specific students learning style. I guide them through the material rather than doing it for them.

I've been a homework helper volunteer at the Beaverton Library for the past year and have coached my 2 daughters through high school in math and science. Both have graduated college with STEM related degrees and have started their careers. Prior to tutoring, I was an engineering manager for over 20 years during which time I learned the value of active listening. I employ the Covey approach of seek first to understand... which has worked well in both Engineering career and as a tutor.

I invite you to try one or two sessions with me to determine so I can demonstrate that I'm the right tutor for you.

Knowledgeable dependable and professional

Irwin really helped our family when our son got in over his head in Geometry. He was able to clarify elements of math that my son was missing at school. With weekly lessons he caught up in math and ended the year strong. Irwin was also able to answer Chemistry questions as well.
