Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Honolulu, HI

Flexible - it depends on the student's needs and preference. One size fits all teaching is poor teaching. 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.

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 also worked extensively with children from Japan who struggle with English. I can explain English words and grammar in Japanese and well as read and write Japanese . 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 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

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. 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.

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

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 labs, and I was only a freshman! By studying in their research groups, I gained the experience necessary to intern at Sea Life Park Hawaii. In fact, I was published in 2007 after working for Dr. Charlie Cox in the Chemistry Department. Recognizing the need for more hands-on research experience, I found another opportunity with another professor in cellular biology. In addition to conducting this research, I co-wrote the research proposal for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. This was an honor, for we were awarded funding for the project! 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 di

I have had many years of leadership experience. I believe this leadership experience allows me to work well with and lead others. In college, I participated in several cultural clubs on campus. I was the Fundraising Chairperson, Luau Food Chairperson, and eventually the President of the Hawaii-Pacific Islanders Club. My Bachelor of Arts in International Relations comprised of reading and writing-intensive courses that focused on subjects including history and political science. In addition, continuous progress on my 30-page thesis paper required for my major has refined my research and writing skills. While attending St. Francis High School, I assisted teaching reading and music to preschoolers at least two hours a week. Based off my leadership experience, I believe the best way to help others improve in anything is to individualize their needs. In order to do this, it is best to under

I taught English as a second language in South Korea for three years and am now teaching elementary here in the US. I enjoy working with children. I enjoy the challenge of finding the best way for them to learn. I am a believer in traditional education such as memorization, drill, and of course skill practice. My favorite thing to teach is reading/phonics but I am interested in tutoring other subjects as well.

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.

I love teaching all ages. I believe in making learning hands on and also making learning fun and interesting. I am extremely patient, friendly and motivational. I love to see a child's face light up when they finally understand something. I believe that some children just need a little extra time to learn a subject and that all it takes is a patient and motivating person to help them and I would like to be that person. I have earned a BA from the State University of New York at Potsdam, majoring in history and writing. All throughout college I tutored various subjects which include history, writing, literature, earth science, and general biology. These experiences lead me to want to pursue my masters in education. I love teaching. In addition I have extensive skills in grammer and writing due to writing research papers and essays in various areas of study.

I enjoy working with students who are willing to learn. My drive to be a tutor happens when that light bulb goes on and the student finally is getting it. The satisfaction and accomplishment the student feels is what keeps me going. My philosophy ensures that students understand and are able to replicate the work I am helping them with. Some tutors just make sure the work gets done and is correct. I make sure the student is able to reproduce the correct answer on their own for future homework and tests. I'm an easy going person who has a passion for making sure the students I tutor either catch up to their peers or surpass them. Since middle school, I've been tutoring younger students afterschool as a service to my community. With about 12 years of experience tutoring, I have found various ways to make learning easy and fun.

I have been a substitute teacher for three years. I will be starting at a private elementary school in August. I have two masters, in business administration and education. Before I became a teacher I worked in accounting as an accounts payable/receivable clerk, accounting technician and then as an accountant. I love teaching and working with children. I believe all children have the ability to learn. Each child has his or her own way of learning. I am easy going and patient when working with students. My goal is to provide the best education possible using differentiation. I believe all children are able to learn and meet their potential if they are provided the appropriate tools.
