Peter T.
Private tutor in Monmouth, OR
Education
Hi! I'm Peter! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering with a 3.87 GPA. My specialties have always been math and grammar, but more recently I have added Spanish to my skillset after living in two Spanish-speaking countries and teaching English to Spanish speakers. I also can tutor and have tutored in other subjects, but these have been my focuses.
Experience
I tutored math and English throughout high school and college, which was always a very enjoyable and rewarding experience for me. Regarding my math experience, I graduated high school with a 4.00 GPA and won the Calculus Award, and then took five college calculus classes beyond high school in the course of my study of engineering. Upon graduation from college, I got the first job I applied for at a civil engineering firm in Seattle, where I worked for just over a year. At the end of this time, and after some self-reflection, I decided to leave this job in order to study Spanish and teach English in Mexico. After almost a year in Mexico, I continued teaching English in Ecuador for three months before coming back to the United States. During my time in Ecuador, I started teaching English online to Chinese students through a Chinese company called VIPKID. I am currently teaching with VIPKID today and throughly enjoy my time with these Chinese students. It's so much fun to teach a student who is bright-eyed and ready to tackle a new subject! My method is to assess my student's knowledge and learning aptitude, then apply this in a unique way to lead them through the learning process. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My learning style was different from others in school, so I fully understand that every student has individual needs and preferences.
