Jack of All Trades, Master of Many
Hello everyone! My name is Sydney. I have a degree in Linguistics from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with a focus in translating and interpreting. I've been a private tutor since 2012, through which I've discovered a love for working with students one-on-one. In addition to private tutoring, I've worked at a learning center in Pearl City, HI, and spent a year employed as a para-professional tutor at Wheeler Middle School.

My son is doing better in Math because of Sydney. My son thinks she's smart and cool and gives her two thumbs up. She is our super hero.

Sydney really connected with my 14 year old daughter. This was the most engaged I have seen my daughter in a long time doing math. When she got done she said she enjoyed it and that she wanted to do it again. It was a like a light bulb went on in her brain which was great to see. Satisfied customer!! The things we enjoyed the most about Sydney were 1. Despite her young age she was able to command our daughter's respect and she was reliable. 2. She provided very detailed summaries of her lessons that kept us updated on what they were working on. 3. Most of all she made my daughter really believe that she can do this math and that she can be successful in this. We had Sydney for almost five months and she moved my daughter from an "F" to almost a "C" which is incredible in that short amount of time. She built a good foundation that will make things easier for our next tutor.
