FAQs

Do I need to register my child?

No, tutoring is drop-in. However, first-time visitors may be asked to fill out a quick intake form.

Is tutoring one-on-one or in groups?

We offer both. Students often receive one-on-one attention depending on availability, and may also benefit from small group learning.

Can students get help with homework?

Absolutely! Our tutors are available to assist with assignments, test prep, and concept review.

Is tutoring available in other subjects besides Math and English?

Currently, we focus on core subjects. Additional support may be added based on student needs and tutor availability.

Land Acknowledgement
Palama Settlement stands on the Native Hawaiian ancestral lands of Kapālama and Honolulu. We acknowledge that in 1893, Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom under duress to prevent bloodshed. We honor the generations of Kanaka Maoli whose knowledge systems and lifeways continue to steward the ʻāina, wai, and lewa, protecting the lāhui to this day. With a deep sense of kuleana, we integrate Indigenous values and traditions into our programs and services, fostering a community rooted in respect and resilience.
