Life has surely been hard on all of us lately. Learning has not been as productive as it used to be either. But, I'm here to help. I love teaching and I love being able to see kids "get it" after struggling time after time. I've been an elementary teacher for over 16 years and I wouldn't want to do anything else. I live on the Windward side but teach on the Westside. I've traveled that far for my entire career just because the students, parents, and staff are awesome and they are what motivates me to continue teaching halfway to the other side of the island. Math can be tough but it doesn't have to be and it surely doesn't have to be bo

I am an educator with three years of teaching experience in Honolulu as a 3rd-grade special education teacher. I hold certifications in Special Education (PreK–12) and General Education (K–6). My strengths include early literacy, math support, and helping students make meaningful progress toward their IEP goals. I am especially passionate about teaching children how to read and developing their word attack skills to support long-term academic success using evidence-based strategies.

I have a teaching license and my bachelors in elementary education! I am passionate about teaching and helping kids grow their “toolbox” of knowledge and studying skills they will use throughout their schooling!

I explain first the mathematical concepts and then the methods. I have degrees in master of science in teaching mathematics from Ateneo de Manila university, and Master of Arts in mathematics and Doctor of Philosophy in mathematics from the university of Hawai’i at Manoa. I have taught mathematics for over 30 years.

I have 24 years experience supporting students with unique needs of all ages and ability levels. My area of expertise is with individuals who require support in many domains of development. I have a strong skill set in applied behavior analysis and evidence based instructional practices for students with significant needs.

I started tutoring in 2023 as a recent graduate in Bachelors of Arts in social sciences from local non-profit organizations. I also helped peers in general academic requirements. I wanted to become a tutor to be self-employed with flexible hours. I hope to fulfill a hobby in tutoring the youth to polish my resume.

As a licensed special education teacher with experience across Hawaiʻi, Washington, and Texas, I bring over six years of teaching and tutoring expertise to every session. I specialize in creating individualized, engaging lessons that build confidence and measurable academic growth. Whether supporting early readers or middle school learners, I focus on meeting each student where they are, using data-driven strategies and a caring, student-centered approach that nurtures both skill and self-belief.
