PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pearl Harbor, HI

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 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.

Having taught SAT verbal for many years, I welcome the opportunity to work with students in preparing for the PSAT. 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

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 the Haw

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, and his

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. 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 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 also very friendly and like to keep a fun, warm personality while teaching or tutoring. I also consider myself to be a lifetime learner. I believe that when I have enthusiasm for learning it is contagious and the student will also have the desire to learn. 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

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 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. 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

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.
