SAT - Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Honolulu, HI

My tutoring experience has mainly focused on SAT / ACT prep and ESL (TOEFL). I have also been a high school / middle school teacher in social studies / history / humanities for the past 4 years. I'm now working on my Masters at UH-Manoa. My own SAT score is a perfect 2400 (800 for Critical / 800 Math / 800 Writing , which I am happy to show you proof of), but even more important is the fact that I know how to teach the material to students at ALL levels (those trying to break 1500 to those trying to break 2200 for the SAT). I've tutored SAT for a very large international test prep company as well as on my own and I have students who have had remarkable success in improving their scores. Flexible - it depends on the student's needs and preference. One size fits all teaching is poor teaching.

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.

I truly enjoy teaching and working with people; I am very personable, positive, and encouraging. I will also make the subject interesting and fun. I am starting my own SAT prep company this fall (see achieveexcellencehawaii.com). I am currently the SAT prep teacher (and upper school science teacher) at American Renaissance Academy in Kapolei. I have been tutoring various subjects for over 10 years, have about 6 years of teaching experience (with a focus on math, science, and ESL), and have taught numerous SAT prep classes and tutored a handful of students in SAT prep for other companies. I have been blessed to help many students raise their total SAT scores 300-600 points. I have a Master's Degree in Divinity from Azusa Pacific University (CA) and Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

As a graduate from the University of Hawaii with a BA in Economics I have a solid understanding of mathematical concepts from the courses I have taken while pursuing my degree. I speak both English and Japanese fluently. I also have extensive grammatical skills from writing essays and writing projects. During the latter half of my college career I worked as math tutor. Before I got into it as a way to bring in a little income, I would help my friends out for free when I had time off from my own studies. For me it is a very rewarding position because of the appreciation my clients showed for my help and the great relationships I built with them. I also got a lot of great food! When I meet with a new client I create a plan by finding out where they are having trouble with starting with the basics. I make sure each client is prepared with all the basic tools to succeed before moving on to a

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 teach to everyone with my best knowledge. I believe all children can do their best with their potential. I am patient and teach with confident to help your child to strong for success in the academic world. As a student pursing in more advance and abstract science, I had taken a lot of challenges to advance my education. I have earned a bachelor degree in chemistry, which lead me into a new learning experiences into any science and math.

Graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Mechanical Engineering. With that degree I have taken gain extensive knowledge in math and science subjects. With this knowledge I have tutored many high school students. I would say total tutor experience would be at least a year. My style of teaching is clear pictorial style. I try to teach concept through a visual way, using shapes, graphs, drawings,etc. I try to teach by example as well. I will try to give examples of how a problem is solve if a person needs it.

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 history. All of my students’ grades improved significantly within a month of tutoring (3x a week), and teachers often noted increased understanding and enthusiasm in the classroom. I have a true passion for teaching science and math, as well as a rigorous educational background and specialized research experience. I earned a B.S. in Biology, Marine Science, Chemistry, and Journalism, a M.S. in Biological Sciences, and PhD candidacy in Biological Oceanography. 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

I love teaching others and have worked with a variety of people, who were from any level of elementary through college. My favorite part about teaching is when a student has the “Ah- ha” moment, reminding me that anyone is capable of learning a concept with practice and guidance. I am available to provide some of this guidance for you, so that you can enjoy some “Ah-ha” moments too. I am an easy going and patient person. When I work with students, I try to find their common mistakes/misconceptions so that I can address them and help refine students’ mathematical thinking. I understand that everyone learns differently, so I will try to teach concepts in a way that they can relate to, hopefully making it a more interesting and fun experience. I have tutored various math subjects, ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus at the college level. I have tutored one-on-one and have also tutored in s

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 and have learned how to communicate effectively with students that are having a tough time with math. I specialize in math and science, but am also able to help with reading comprehension and all types of writing. I was the assistant editorials editor for the University of Hawaii Manoa newspaper, Ka Leo, and have worked with many writers to improve clarity and grammar. 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

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.
