Alex West's Tutoring Services

I worked as a professional freelance tutor in Eugene, Oregon for several years. Now I am working up north in Portland, Oregon. Each summer, however, I take several weeks off from my tutoring business to work in Eugene at my job at TAG SEP. (No, I no longer do any tutoring in Eugene.)

My area of broadest and deepest expertise is mathematics; I hold a Master's in Mathematics from the University of Oregon. I also tutor statistics (just mentioning this for those who do not think of statistics as mathematics), physics, French and various computer skills such as use of E-mail programs, word processors and the Internet.

Less frequently, I have done many other things related to education or computers. I once tutored a very bright 8-year-old in some of the basics of inorganic and organic chemistry. I have instructed the employees of a company in the use of Microsoft Access (a database program). I have given English advice on, and proofread, college essays; I have been the computer systems administrator for a small private school, and once I was employed to transcribe French linguistics data from audiocassettes into text documents and spreadsheets on a computer.

Useful Resources

• If you are looking for a tutor in Portland in some subject that I do not cover, I recommend starting by calling the appropriate department at Portland State University, and seeing if they can help you. If that does not work, try the other schools in the Portland area (e.g. Reed, Portland Community College, etc.). If you have any further questions, drop me a note and I will see if I can assist you in some way.
