Dear Parent, 
Thank you for taking an interest in my math and test preparation programs.
As a math and standardized exam preparation teacher/tutor of 15+ years with experience ranging from Arithmetic to Calculus to SSAT / SAT / ACT / GRE / GED / Praxis Test Prep (all sections), I am familiar with the sequence and scope of the math concepts and test preparation skills a student needs to know to reach goals in middle school, high school, college and graduate school.
As a former student, I understand how maddening math and test preparation can be! The primary duty of a tutor is neither to dispense textbook information nor to regurgitate a teacher’s lecture. Rather, it is to mind-meld with the student and tap into the recesses of the young person’s learning personality. It is only after a teacher / tutor gains insight into this learning personality, unique to each child, that a tutoring relationship can begin to reach its optimal potential. Successful tutoring must involve a student-centered teaching approach, and rely heavily on hands-on interaction.
A daunting roadblock to student comprehension of higher-level concepts is the clashing of this learning personality between instructor (of whom 80% are concrete sequential) and student (e.g. abstract random) which too often results in school anxiety and parental dissatisfaction. With Oahu student-to-teacher ratios escalating, let personalized tutoring sessions save your child hours / days / weeks / months of unnecessary frustrated confusion by unleashing his or her unlimited analytic potential to engage higher-level learning endeavors. No complex terminology! No abstract symbolism!
