My comments on tutoring Math : I am very comfortable with math, having taught it at all grade levels. I have even tutored adults for SAT prep and occupational testing. I enjoy the subject because of the diversity of students who seek help in it. My goal is to remove the mystery of the subject, address its subtle presence in everyday life, & make it an area of comfort for reluctant students rather than an area of dread. At every opportunity, I try to make it fun, not frightening.

I consider myself a facilitator of knowledge, encouraging my students to discover answers for themselves. To me, the process of acquiring knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. With gentle prodding, building on what students already know, they progress quickly through problems and/or assignments. Students know much more than they think they know. Because they are doing their own thinking, they're already invested in the process. When their answers come, they own them. This increases their confidence in tackling more challenging work & in realizing their own potential. The knowledge is out there, waiting to be discovered. It is this discovery that makes teaching and learning so rewarding.
I have taught over 20 years in private & public schools in Hawaii & one summer in Michigan. My experience ranges from elementary to college level. I have also tutored SAT pre ... read more

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 like to find the way that each individual child learns. Everyone has a different way of learning. I am very engaging.

I love working with children and adults!

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 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 small groups. I earned a BS degree in Mathematics Education and am anxious to put this degee to good use with teaching. For the past four years, I have had various positions as a tutor/teacher, particularly in math. These are some of the positions I have held before: After School Tutor, Tutorial Assistant at BYU’s Math Lab, Student Athlete Tutor (Trigonometry, College Algebra, Calculus), Supplemental Instruction Facilitator, and a high school Student Teacher.
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. ... read more

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.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient and knowledgeable in the subjects that I tutor. In over two years of experience I never received a single complaint from a student. In fact, most of my students have praised my ability to cover subjects in great technical detail as well as simplifying complex subjects into very understandable terms. I carefully analyze whether the student has a technical or terminological issue with a subject before beginning my explanations. My favorite method of instruction is via simile which I find helps students absorb knowledge by finding practical applications in their everyday lives. However, the diverse student body I have gained experience with has provided me with many different approaches of conveying knowledge to my students.
I started tutoring at the Hawaii Pacific University Tutoring Center in March of 2008. They certified me as a tutor, and I quickly earned the ti ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient teacher and good at picking up non-verbal cues from students when they don’t understand. I like to have fun with students because I believe that learning is most effective when students are engaged and interested. However, I am very focused and insist on students paying attention and staying on task until subject mastery is achieved. I understand children very well being a mother myself. Each of my children is different and learns differently. I understand that each student is unique and should be appreciated for his/her strengths. I teach students how to use their strengths to make up for their weaknesses. I inspire them to be the best that they can be.
