We work with teachers in Hawaii and the Philippines. Before a teacher works with students, we require a Philippine LPT or Hawaii teaching license, a bachelor's degree, two or more years of experience with references, a demo class and live interview, and a background check no older than 6 months, renewed every year.
Individual teacher profiles will be added as teachers are hired.
About
A Hawaii tutoring company with a straightforward promise.
SerrDee Melo Tutoring Service is a Hawaii tutoring company. The company is owned and managed by Jonathan Serrano, who is the sole member and manager and handles all management and operations.
We offer live, one-on-one online tutoring for K-12 and college students, with Adult Business English as our specialty.
We built this company with military and Hawaii families in mind. Jonathan serves in the U.S. Army, and that background is part of why military families are a priority for us: when a family moves or a parent deploys, the lessons can come along. Hawaii families get a locally owned business that schedules in Hawaii time. We also welcome mainland U.S. families and adult learners.
