About Arlene May


Bio

Hello there! I have over 15 years of tutoring: 70% of my students are K-12th and 30% are college/adult students looking to review biology or writing or even math. Initially, tutoring was a side gig to get me through college but since I've graduated, I have decided to continue tutoring. Tutoring has been so rewarding and I like to continue being part of someone's academic journey.

Hello there! I have over 15 years of tutoring: 70% of my students are K-12th and 30% are college/adult students looking to review biology or writing or even math. Initially, tutoring was a side gig to get me through college but since I've graduated, I have decided to continue tutoring. Tutoring has been so rewarding and I like to continue being part of someone's academic journey.

everyone is family so everyone is treated with respect and understanding. I just want to make sure I do my best to help my student succeeds. Tutoring is also exciting because you become involved in different ways of teaching and learning.

I can provide the various ways I know that work well but I am also very patient. It is important to always have someone who recognizes which part of the topic is the weakness because after overcoming this weakness, it is smooth sailing!

This is my field! I love biology! Bio means life and -ology means 'study of' so the study of life is appreciating the big picture but also understanding the little pictures.

I do have the most experience working with K-12th. As a certified substitute teacher from Hawaii, I have worked with children with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. I am also a professor at two community colleges in Oahu, Hawaii with the mathematics and science division. My courses are anatomy and physiology and medical terminology.

Please reach out to me if you feel we can work together =) We can discuss schedules and lessons... and possibly start working together.

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have worked with 19 elementary schools in the past 10 weeks. All students have gotten at least one letter grade improvement in his/her report card. I work one-on-one with teachers to ensure the student has a specific improvement. I am incredibly enthusiastic with my passion to teach and I prefer to tutor one-on-one because I know how the importance of keeping one's attention span in check. I have provided my own assessment worksheets that are taken when I first meet at student so, at the end of a few weeks, we can take this assessment again and see what has improved and what needs to be worked on. I work well with touching base with my students' teachers to ensure how she or he is progressing in class and what I can do on my own to help improve understanding and grades.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My son liked a lesson with Arlene. She was very friendly and organized person. I was not sure how much my son could learn in 60 minutes, but Arlene dud a great job covering more details than I expected. Great tutoring experience!

First Lesson with Arlene May

Our 9-year-old son had his first math lesson with Arlene and she was very helpful. She took a lot of time on the front end, before the lesson, to make sure her lesson was at an appropriate level (not too hard, not too easy), and it was. Our son enjoyed his first lesson and requested additional lessons with Arlene.

Very knoledgeable and passionate about teaching and tutoring

Arlene was very knowledgeable. She made me feel that my daughter was in good hands. Shes kind and nice but very strong headed about her passion to teach. She let myself and my wife sit in while teaching so we would know exactly whats going on with our daughter and her lessons. She answered all my concerns. Very happy right now

Knowledgeable and patient

Arlene is an excellent tutor. She Tutors my daughter Sage in math. My daughter says learning from Arlene is fun. Not only is she learning and understanding her school work, but also having fun at the same time is a bonus. I can already see my daughters improvement in math after the first few sessions. Sage gets excited on days when she has tutoring with Arlene.
