About Us
Given the impact of learning loss on our students, we know that the status quo won’t cut it in terms of getting kids back up to speed. Depending on where they live and family income, kids may struggle to get tutoring support from their school or surrounding community. Hawaiʻi Tutoring was launched as a solution to this challenge, and we believe all kids deserve a chance to succeed.
David Miyashiro
Executive Director, HawaiiKidsCan
As a former public school teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that caring educators and mentors can have on struggling students, especially in helping them build confidence. I’ve also worked in the government, political, and non-profit sectors, so I know that resources and programs are not equitably distributed or accessible. That is why I’m so excited about Hawaiʻi Tutoring, as the program was intentionally designed to address these needs. While big issues like learning loss can seem daunting, collaboration between like minded partner organizations can bring real hope and results.
Hasan Ali
Founder & CEO, Air Tutors
I grew up in K12 schools surrounded by barbed wires and was lucky enough to attend UC Berkeley where I taught general and organic chemistry to fellow Cal undergraduates and grad school students. It was at Cal where I felt educational inequity and thereafter understood inequity as I tutored at the elite private school and boarding school communities while I applied to medical schools.
My ambition in life is to bring those affluent community resources to all students and I started Air Tutors to be the vehicle through which all students, everywhere, are able to find inspiration from mentor-minded educators like I have in my life. We want all kids to have the opportunity – no matter where they live – to recover from learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and get ahead to achieve their potential.
