To educate is to improve.

My style is informal. Often the humanities are perceived as "stuffy" so I've found that if students feel comfortable, they are better able to grasp the material.
2 years experience designing and teaching various writing and literature courses. Specifically, I have taught 5 different sections of English 101 (Rhetoric and Composition) at a small college in Maryland. The course was structured so that each student received ample individualized instruction from me outside of class. I have taught Intermediate Expository Writing at the same school, a course that I built in such a way so that students read pieces by relevant writers that demonstrate different modes of writing (Definition, Process Analysis, Cause and Effect, etc.) and then practice writing in these various modes. At the University of Georgia I was enrolled in the PhD. program for Comparative Literature. There, I taugh ... read more

I care for your child's education almost as much as you.

Positive, individual. I ask leading questions helping the student to discover his/her own answer. Because I, myself, have ADHD my behavior challenged students ALWAYS do well in my classes.

Reading is one of my top subjects!

My teaching style is a combination of cooperative and collaborative teaching style. I like to engage my students in various ways of learning. I also instill in my students independent learning by giving them various learning tools to learn on their own.
At this moment, I am a volunteer English/English as a Second Language Tutor at our community library. I tutor two elementary students in Reading and Writing two times a week. The younger student has a hard time focusing. I tried variety of things to help her. When we meet, I ask her first how was her day so I would know if she is tired or how long her attention span would be. After I try to ask her to read a small book that she picks. Then as she reads I try to assess her difficulty. I write down words she can’t read. When she is done, I ask her to write sentences or a story with the difficult words. Then she draws about it. I read ... read more

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.

Pure. Positive. Energy ^__^ \m/

Learning needs to be enjoyable. When students enjoy what they are learning, that means that they are engaged in what they are learning. When students are engaged, they can better grasp the concepts being taught. I make sure to get to know my student's interests so that I can relate what they are learning to situations that happen in their own lives.
I have an Associates in Arts and Teaching degree from Leeward Community College on O'ahu. While completing my associates degree, I was a leader for an after school program for the Leeward YMCA where I worked with students in grades K-5. Lastly, I was a paraprofessional tutor for Iroquois Point Elementary School where I shadowed an autistic child from his general education classroom to his SPED classroom.

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 love working with children and adults!

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.
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.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I have always loved to read and look forward to many opportunities to do more of it. I enjoy the challenge of interpreting characters, events, and actions. I also appreciate the many writing styles authors/playwrights/poets employ to convey their thoughts. All of these interests fortify my ability to instruct others in the art of reading & help them enjoy its pursuit. Expository reading, however, is the bulk of most students' assignments, so developing prowess in that area is essential. I teach effective reading techniques in the summer and incorporate those principles in my instruction. Also, I believe that previewing information before beginning any reading assignment is the key to greater understanding of and curiosity about that subject.

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

More About This Tutor...

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
