Eve M - Homeschool Tutor In Portland OR - Local or Online
Hi there! I am a writer and educator based in Portland, OR. I have a B.A. in English from UCLA. I love to read creative nonfiction, literary criticism, poetry, and philosophy. I also write poetry and creative nonfiction. Currently, I am completing a portfolio at Independent Publishing Resource Center, here in Portland!
Experience
I have worked as a writing tutor for students in elementary school through college for 5 years. This includes in-home, working at a center, and online. I have experience working with students with special needs, including ASD. My primary specialty is writing and English, but I can also tutor for Social Studies/History (all grades) and elementary school Math. My goal is to build autonomy in students to ensure their long-term academic success. One way I achieve this is by using the problem-posing method of education. This means the lesson forms based off of the students questions and the student and tutor work as a team to problem solve, as opposed to all the answers coming from the tutor. I think it is important for students to take the lead in beginning to answer their own questions and seeking solutions to the things that confuse them to cultivate academic resilience. Feel free to reach out for any questions! Thanks!
