Alexi
Chinese Tutor in Kaneohe
I currently tutor a 23 year old Chinese adult in Mandarin because his parents decided not to teach him in order to help his learning of English. He regrets their decision and is now trying to learn it. Chinese is a very difficult language and I enjoy helping other students to grasp all the complexities of the language. I am currently tutoring several adult students over my lunch break at work in the language. I focus on not only speaking Chinese, but also reading and writing. I have stude... Read more

To teach is to learn twice (Joseph Joubert)
I have always loved learning and that love doubled when I started teaching. I realize that in the process of teaching, you also learn. There is an exchange between teacher and student which is invaluable to both. In life, I've always thought the most effective way to teach was by example. The words you say don't matter unless your actions reinforce them. I also feel you can only be an effective teacher if you are willing to listen and learn from your students. Everyone's thought proces... Read more

I am an experienced organic chemistry tutor living on Oahu. After earning both a bachelor's and master's degree in philosophy, I completed a post-baccalaureate program at Harvard University. I then worked as a teaching assistant for organic chemistry at Harvard for two years. My favorite part of teaching is working with students and helping them understand the material. Organic chemistry has the reputation for being a punishingly difficult subject, but I see it as my goal to help student's re... Read more

Julie
Japanese Tutor
I'm a Freshman studying Japanese at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I've taken the language placement test and was placed in JPN 301 in my first semester of college. I have taken Japanese classes ever since I was in elementary. Japanese is only spoken with my family so I took over 10 years of classes and four years of Kimono Culture to understand the language. My goal is to help students learn how to read, write, speak, and understand the culture. Feel free to contact me because I want... Read more

Having Fun With Mathematical Relationships

I have written two books on the topic. Since retiring from my university position, I have begun working with individual students who need help with their math studies. As a tutor, my emphasis is on helping students to make sense of mathematics in an engaging way. I use visual materials, manipulatives, and games to make the ... Read more
