Elementary School Earth Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Honolulu, HI

I prioritize learning the fundamentals. I also teach study habits and strive to help the student so that they can continue to excel without my help. Throughout high school I was a teaching assistant at Iolani during the summer for English Language Learners. While attending Harvard University, I volunteered in a after school program in Boston's Chinatown community teaching second and third graders from low income families. There I helped them with homework and developed projects with fellow counselors to enrich their learning. Throughout my whole learning career I have tutored many of my own friends primarily in math and science.

10+ years of experience working as an ESL teacher, camp counselor, teacher's aide, and after-school tutor. Patient and enthusiastic educator! Currently employed as an Environmental Educator with the Hawaii Nature Center while pursuing my M.Ed in Elementary Education from Chaminade University. Love teaching and love kids! I love teaching and believe that students benefit most from lessons tailored to their specific needs. I am patient and enjoy working with my students to determine which subjects areas they are confident in and which subject areas they struggle with. Learning should be an active process that allows the student to use a variety of materials e.g. worksheets, computer programs, textbooks, games, etc. I am a creative, flexible, dedicated educator and love to see my students progress through their studies.

I love teaching and working with both children and adults. I have learned to cater my teaching style to the individual's learning style, and age level. I am available to provide outstanding quality tutoring to students. Tutoring children and adults I prefer and excel in the subjects of English, Reading, Writing, English as a Second Language, Science and Basic Math. I am very outgoing, organized, and reliable. I know how to make learning "FUN," and when learning is "FUN," it is well retained and not such an arduous task for students. I believe in using concrete abstract models and real life visual aids when teaching or tutoring. I have over 13 years of combined teaching and private tutoring experience of both children and adults. I have a diverse educational background with a primary focus in Biological/Health and Social Sciences, as well as English and Literature. I have excellent

I believe that each child learns most effectively in a different way, which much be found to further consider a teaching style. Basically I love working with interested questioning minds. I try to inspire students to be self learners -becoming first inquisitive, and then solvers of their own inquiries. Massive amounts of work are required and it is best if the student of science is interested and inquisitive if all the material is to be grasped. I have tutored privately various students at the college level for short terms in elementary physics(<200 level), chemistry(<400 level), mathematics(<500 level), and biology(<300 level). I have also tutored part time in English and SAT preperation for nearly a year (<12 hours a week) with certified tutoring services, a small company here in Honolulu. I have earned a B.S. in mathematics from a university with extensive coursework in the hard scie

Teaching is as much a process as learning. It can be carried out most effectively only when it's driven by self-motivation. I'm in teaching because I want to be. It brings me joy... gets me excited in the morning going to work. Such zest in easily reflected in the way I teach. My students feel my enthusiasm; they witness my taking a personal interest in their learning. In a dynamic cycle of influence, we fuel each other in our educational mission... be it thorny tests, understanding of concepts, or simply, having fun. More important than anything else, my ears, and heart are always open to them... they teach me how to teach. An ideal juxtaposition of East meets West is vested within me, and lives through the knowledge of cultural ethnology, protocols, and languages of inter-continental roots. I am experienced teaching multiple subjects kindergarten, primary, secondary, tertiary, includin

I love science and because I am excited about science, students I have taught previously have enjoyed the subject as well. And if I can assist them in understanding the material, they will be empowered to become problem solvers. I have an easy going personality which makes me approachable to students. My teaching mantra is "There are no stupid questions". I enjoy helping children and young adults succeed in their classes because as a result, they will have a positive influence in society. I believe that fostering scientific skills in students will lead them to generate solutions to the various problems that face humankind. I hold a B.S. degree in Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry, and an M.S. in Human Cytogenetics with my thesis project conducted in the area of apoptotic signal transduction.

I enjoy teaching and strive to make my teaching sessions enjoyable for both tutor and tutees. I love to get the reward of the wide-eyed look that illuminates the face of somebody who has understood a difficult subject; I achieve this reward by approaching the same subject from different points of view thhat may illustrate better the "stuff of life that make things tic"(Biology and Chemistry.) I was born in Costa Rica and I have lived half of my 46 years of age in Hawaii. I am a Marine Biologist with more than 23 years of experience teaching diverse subjects (including Biology, Chemistry, and Spanish) to students, volunteers, tutees, and the general public at the College, and High School levels.

Do your science or math classes have you frustrated? These subjects can be complex, but I have over six years of experience turning them into manageable, even fun, topics. I use analogies, case studies, current events, and that student’s particular interests to keep subjects interesting. I tailor my lessons to the unique learning styles of each student. My students learn by gaining a true understanding of the subject and not by regurgitation of random facts – memorized information alone tends to be forgotten immediately after the test. In addition, my background in journalism has honed my ability to synthesize information and convey complex information in a straightforward manner. Over the past six years, I have been a collegiate instructor, a private tutor, and a tutor for elementary, middle school, and high school students in science, math, reading comprehension, writing, and his

I believe that the best way to teach is by integrating the artistic with the rational and have even founded a non-profit organization that is dedicated to teaching sustainability and systems theory using a combined approach. I hope to provide students with examples of interconnectedness in order for them to be able to synthesize information presented during lectures and readings with other aspects of their lives. I'm a very enthusiastic, patient, and inquiring teacher. My joy comes from building confidence and empowering students with the methods to tackle any problem. I have been a teaching assistant for six semesters at University of Hawaii at Manoa where I earned my Ph.D. in Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, and have taught a variety of writing intensive biology and microbiology labs. I’ve also had extensive tutoring experience since I was an undergraduate in biochemistry

For the past two years, I have worked for a fast-paced software development company. I have learned about many new technologies and have proven to be a very good student. Prior to my experience as an IT Administrator, I was an undergraduate research technician at the University of Washington. I had received two prestigious research grants -- EIP/McNair Presidential Scholar and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Internship. These awards allowed me to conduct my own research regarding gene flow amongst wild capsicum species found only in Bolivia. I have no recent experience as a teacher or tutor. From my previous work experience, I have had the privilege of assisting others utilize the power of technology to help them achieve their goals. As an IT Administrator, I would present creative software solutions to our end-user by using tools that they already possessed. In my spare time, I have

Teaching requires a patient, easygoing individual since not all students learn at similar speeds. There is not one single way to teach, so it is important to encompass different approaches. With this realization, I will teach with an open-mind to strive for effectiveness and success. I will be respectful of my students at all times, even during times of struggle. Pulling through obstacles is what builds character and perseverance, and I know I have performed my job when the student achieves his/her goal of further understanding. Often times, children only begin to tap into their potential when someone else believes in them first. I will be that believer, so that soon each of them shall grow into his/her own motivator. When I was a freshman in college, I knew that my future was in my hands. I befriended and contacted my chemistry professor and zoology advisor. I worked in both of their la

I am currently finishing my first year in my graduate program, MEdT Program (Masters in Education Teaching). I have so far spent 12hrs a week in the classroom for the past year. I have taught several solo lessons a week while at Campbell High School and Ilima Intermediate. I am efficient in one-on-one teaching situations students who need extra attention and assistance. I specialize in Social Studies subjects, but am proficient in secondary level math (Algebra) and some natural science. I enjoy working with young learners very much and would love to tutor outside of the classroom setting. My teaching style is based on an inquiry-based learning method. I do not give students answers. I ask them the right questions to get them to figure out the answer themselves. I also encourage the student to ask the right questions themselves as well. I am very patient and encouraging.
