I am a former high school teacher with eight years of teaching experience. My Hawaii state teaching license is for Social Studies, grades 6-12. I am also educated enough in some science subjects that I would be effective tutoring that as well. I am a former teacher rather than a current one because I have chosen to step away from the profession. This choice was not due to my lack of interest in teaching, however, but more of a frustration with the education system. I am not a malcontent, I.
