Political Science Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waimanalo, HI

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.

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.

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, includin

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 Hawaii-Pacific Islanders Club. My Bachelor of Arts in International Relations comprised of reading and writing-intensive courses that focused on subjects including history and political science. In addition, continuous progress on my 30-page thesis paper required for my major has refined my research and writing skills. While attending St. Francis High School, I assisted teaching reading and music to preschoolers at least two hours a week. 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 under

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

I have earned a BA from the State University of New York at Potsdam, majoring in history and writing. All throughout college I tutored various subjects which include history, writing, literature, earth science, and general biology. These experiences lead me to want to pursue my masters in education. I love teaching. In addition I have extensive skills in grammer and writing due to writing research papers and essays in various areas of study. I love teaching all ages. I believe in making learning hands on and also making learning fun and interesting. I am extremely patient, friendly and motivational. I love to see a child's face light up when they finally understand something. I believe that some children just need a little extra time to learn a subject and that all it takes is a patient and motivating person to help them and I would like to be that person.
