Lualualei Math Tutor

Tutor Information

About

I have worked as a teacher and substitute on the Leeward coast of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. As teacher and tutor, I truly think that all of us can learn, even though we all learn differently. My main subjects are Math and Science. I think mathematics lays the groundwork for clear and logical thinking in every area, and science shows us the discipline of testing our assumptions and current thinking, and opening our minds to new information, wherever it may lead.
