I have extensive experience in working with gifted and talented, also difficult-to-manage children and adolescents—sometimes the more “onerous” the better! I have been helping children, young adults, and older adults for 25 years and counting. I do child and family counseling as well as academic tutoring and mentoring. I also work part time for the State of HI DOE as a tutor in their SPED division.
I am also under contract to the Veteran’s Administration for my work with disabled vets. This is passionate work: academic and counseling assistance. This group of adults deserves our full support as they have given a permanent measure of their devotion to our country.
I am a belly dancer and teach Persian dance as well. Dance/Music makes my mind flexible. My degrees are in Psychology, with concentrations in medicine and pharmacology. I keep current via continuing medical education at John's Hopkins University Medical School, and the Universities of Pennsylvania and Virginia's medical schools online. I am in the process of becoming certified in herbal medicine and aromatherapuetic medicine so that I can offer people complimentary medical choices.
I also do home schooling. I am $40.00 an hour and located in Honolulu. I have: computer systems, textbooks, a large lovely lobby for family members who wish to wait during sessions, I am multilingual, and computer proficient in both PC and MAC in all software commonly used and am skilled with most hardware issues.
