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

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

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

To educate is to improve.

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 taught foundational Western Literature, with an emphasis on Epic Poetry from Homer to Dante and including Cervantes. I had originally planned to pursue Asian American litera ... read more

The best successes come after their greatest disappointments

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 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 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.

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 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 prep in English and math and instructed English As a Second Language for Hawaii Pacific University in their summer exchange programs with Asian countries. During the summers, I teach the Brown Reading Systems at private schools, most recently at I'olani. I have experience with both highly motivated and at-risk high school students, active military, and adults. During my years of teaching GED prep, I covered the four core subjects with focus on language arts and math.
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 alread ... read more

Pure. Positive. Energy ^__^ \m/

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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, in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
