Elementary School Study Skills Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Honolulu, HI

At this moment, I am a volunteer English/English as a Second Language Tutor at our community library. I tutor two elementary students in Reading and Writing two times a week. The younger student has a hard time focusing. I tried variety of things to help her. When we meet, I ask her first how was her day so I would know if she is tired or how long her attention span would be. After I try to ask her to read a small book that she picks. Then as she reads I try to assess her difficulty. I write down words she can’t read. When she is done, I ask her to write sentences or a story with the difficult words. Then she draws about it. I read the story back to her. I try to involve all her senses from visual to verbal in her learning process. The other student has a hard time in comprehension. I try to read the book with her and ask her questions about it. I get her excited. Most of the books she r

I like to make my tutoring sessions productive by encouraging students to work hard to complete the taste in order to receive a reward in the form of a game or something they enjoy doing. I am very thorough in correcting assignments and make sure they fully understand the concept they are working on. I am very helpful in stimulating critical thinking for creative writing assignments. I have experience with pre k to 8th grade tutoring in Math and English tutoring to help students prepare for Iolani and Punahou entrance exams through Dr. Takahashi Juku.

I have experience in being a student in both business, math, science and language arts. I hired tutors for my children and I tutored my children but I have not begun to tudor myself. I am looking forward to the experience of tutoring and hope that each experience is fun and worth the money. If not, I will refund the money. I am an informal teacher because I do not yet have the experience teaching in a formal setting accept for writing lesson plans for language arts. Otherwise, I am looking forward to working with adults and children on their studies because they need the help.

I like to find the way that each individual child learns. Everyone has a different way of learning. I am very engaging. I have tutored in San Francisco and worked through the SFUSD for over 5 years and also for the MDUSD for over 3 years. I have worked with small groups, large groups and with individual children. I ran my own home daycare center where we had educational learning time every day and also had a lot of activities throughout the day.

I teach how to learn, and encourage a love of learning, as well as teaching the subject. I base all my lessons on the value they allow the student to impart to society, both economically and ethically. I encourage students to welcome responsibility and empower themselves as learners. I've taught creative writing to Japanese university students in English only (songs, stories and poetry) for two years, and ESL to all ages in Japanese society for 22 years. In America, I taught freshman public speaking, composition, and literature at the university level. My students have gone on to top-level universities, and placed first in prefectural level speech competitions.

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. 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 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

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

Anyone can be taught anything as long as they are sincere in learning that thing. There is no one style of teaching that works for everyone. Any teacher worth their weight in salt would know that you have to first understand the student in order to teach them. Sometimes the teacher will need to teach the student how to learn. I am dedicated to help others to better and empower themself through teaching and various learning processes. I have taught ESL at my church and enjoy helping others to overcome perceived barriers to learning. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Organizational Leadership and Development and feel strongly to helping people become better leaders as well as better people. The best way for this to happen is through listening, talking, and understanding the students' goals.

I like to teach language because I was also a English leaner before. I can understand the feeling and difficulty that students might have since I have the experience of learning other language. I am patient and also passionate. My goal is to provide fun and effective lessons to students. I will try my best to create or adapt materials for students. I have earned BA degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. Throughout my course of study, I studied linguistics and effective teaching methods for learning second language.

I'm a 25 year professional accountant with a CPA license in CAlifornia and Hawaii. I attended public schools and local community college before going on to graduate with high honors from the University of Hawaii. I moved to the mainland and worked full-time while obtaining my masters degree from USC. I've helped my 19 year old son through high school (he has a learning disability in math) and my 21 year old daughter with her business classes. Both my parents were teachers and I enjoyed teaching as well. I've had good teachers and I know how important it is to be a student of your students and to know your stuff so that you can be effective as a teacher. I consider myself very patient, a good listener, and someone who can explain matters in multiple ways so that a student can understand and relate what they are learning to real life situations.
