Learning is Always New

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.

SAT - Verbal is one of my top subjects!

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.
I truly enjoy teaching and working with people; I am very personable, positive, and encouraging. I will also make the subject interesting and fun.

Expereinced SAT / ACT/ GRE tutor with perfect scores

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.

My comments on tutoring SAT - Verbal : I have many years of experience preparing high school students and adults for the verbal section of the SAT. I enjoy every section of the test, even though some are more challenging than others!

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

The best successes come after their greatest disappointments

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 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 am a ... read more

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 understand the way others think and work from there. I will apply this idea to any student I may be able to help. By individualizing their needs, one may tap into the knowledge of students and open their minds to new ways of learning. I am patient, open-minded, and believe in positive reinforcement to support anyone. My top priority is not to give away answers but to share understanding and open-mindedness about different ways of thinking.
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 t ... read more

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, a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 har ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 th ... read more

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.

Each student is unique and has their own learning style. It is vital to teach the person according to their unique needs and abilities. I am a compassionate, caring teacher who loves children and also the material. I also believe that a big block to learning is often either confidence or study methods they have been taught in past. Through guidance and encouragement, these both can be greatly improved. I work very well both one on one and in groups.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from every degree I have. I tutored students maths/sciences for 8 years, and I also taught High School English for one year. I worked as a national park ranger for 14 years, in which I gave daily multiple professional talks on many subjects and also taught children and wrote/gave puppet shows. I also worked for Emory University School of Medicine and Florida Institute of Technology. I counseled homeless ... read more
