About Brad

Bio

“What a child can do in cooperation today he can do alone tomorrow” (Vygotsky). I try to provide students with material understanding and foster critical reasoning so they might become more conscious, independent thinkers. Bringing knowledge and a considerable capacity to connect with students, I am seeking the opportunity to provide excellent instruction and motivation to inquiring minds toward the improvement of the community.

I have a B.A. and M.A. in English literature. I've taught...

“What a child can do in cooperation today he can do alone tomorrow” (Vygotsky). I try to provide students with material understanding and foster critical reasoning so they might become more conscious, independent thinkers. Bringing knowledge and a considerable capacity to connect with students, I am seeking the opportunity to provide excellent instruction and motivation to inquiring minds toward the improvement of the community.

I have a B.A. and M.A. in English literature. I've taught middle school and high school math and English for 11 plus years - I've also had extensive tutoring experience (over 20 years), from 10 year olds to adults for the GRE. I pride myself on my flexibility in teaching concepts and my receptivity to different ideas. I would love to teach you and learn from you as well.

I graduated from Punahou in 99 and I'm currently a math kumu at Kamehameha Schools, Kapalama. I've also taught at Damien High School in town and at Assets High School. (In Pasadena, CA, I taught at Southwestern Academy.) I look forward to doing my best to help you understand the material--no matter the subject!

From 2014-2019, I've been volunteering in South Africa running math workshops for local teachers in rural, underserved areas with a non-profit called Teachers Across Borders to help raise the level of education in the country. 2020 was a no go because of Covid, sadly, but I hope to continue volunteering in the future.

Thanks for the view!

GRE

GRE

I have taken the standard GRE and subject GRE before. I scored a 620 on verbal, 780 on quantitative, and 5.5 on analytical writing (all 87th percentile which confirms the greater challenge of the verbal section); my literature score was 610). I have a M.A. in English literature and have taught extensive math at the High School level (all the Algebras, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus). GRE math is something I have tutored a student on in the fall of 2011. She did spectacularly.
