Three Rivers Tutoring Company started in 1999 when a family called to request that I tutor their son in math. I had taught this student the year before at Lake Oswego High School. They had somehow found my home phone number, figured I was tutoring, and called. I was not tutoring at the time, nor did the thought cross my mind. That family kick-started my business. Soon after, another family called. And another. And another. It was not long before I realized that I was providing a needed resource for the families of Lake Oswego and surrounding areas.
