Kōkua Learning's goal is to reach as many students in need of tutoring as possible and to provide them with the best tutoring available from caring teachers and tutors

In case you're interested, here's what clients have to say about their experiences with Kōkua Learning:

Our son was having a hard time with math and he wanted to take the Armed Forces test for enlistment. We used the Kokua Learning group to help our son with his math foundation. We were very happy with the results and the entire team at Kokua Learning group was so helpful and professional in every way. I am happy to say that our son has retaken the test and passed with flying colors! Thank you for the GREAT and caring tutor and your support! I would recommend this group to anyone!
Thanks,

My daughter has an easy time at school.  In fact, too easy.  Although she did not have to put forth much effort in the early elementary grades she continued to progress.  I became a bit concerned when she reached grade 4.  Suddenly, subjects began to challenge her a bit.  She still maintained excellent grades, but her casual approach to education began to catch up with her.  From her past experience and habits, she no longer knew how to truly apply herself now that she needed to do so.

 
I sent her to Kokua Learning hoping that Mr. O'Connell would be able to reach my child at her natural ability, give her the proper skills she needed, and challenge her to truly apply herself.  She needed some individual attention and coaching to change her outlook on her education.
 
Michael did an excellent job tutoring her in both math and language arts.  He took the time to get to know my daughter and her ability level.  He individualized a program that challenged her and made her realize what she could really accomplish.  Michael gave her the skills and more importantly the desire she needed to achieve.

Michael O'Connell tutored our two children, 8 and 10, in preparation for the SSAT entrance examination for private schools on the mainland. Both of our children were accepted to multiple schools of their choice.  Michael has a wonderful disposition and our children responded well to Michael's teaching technique. Michael's technique made learning interesting and enjoyable which captured our daughters' attention and interest. We highly recommend Michael O'Connell as a private tutor to young children.  He is a patient and gifted teacher to whom our children responded well.
