However if you can tolerate it and see that she is only pushing your child to improve then she is a excellent teacher. Some of the things that fly out of her mouth is like parents of long ago that didn't let the kids get away with anything...

As someone who actually took her class I can say that it wasn't worth it. I took over five years of…read morelessons and I can say that her "scolding" is more than what should be accepted, unless of course it is fine to ask a child whether they have a learning disability as an insult. She tones down her "scoldings" when there are other people around, especially parents, and often shames you in front of the other students. You should not ask your kids to tolerate her, especially for something as insignificant as piano, although she would have you believe otherwise. She's verbally abusive on a good day, and Lord save you on a bad day. I still have nightmares from my time with her and cannot even sit on a piano bench without my muscles freezing. The class just sets you up to accept being abused as if it is the norm. Talk to your child and please don't dismiss their concerns. She places the fault on the child for the way that she acts rather than taking responsibility for the poor way that she treats them.

I've never been one to splurge on lessons for ocean recreational activities until I started SUP…read more Most places in Hawaii are too busy trying to handle multiple clients at the same time, meanwhile I'm floating away into the ocean. I took a SUP lesson with The Surf Professor in Kaneohe and was able to see Chinamans Hat for the first time in a very special way. Ian was calming and his instruction was clear. He taught me about reading the ocean and being able to identify areas I should avoid based on how the ocean behaved on the surface. As we paddled out further he gave me a brief Hawaiian Landscape Mythology talk of what we could see. I was even able to ride a small rolling surf which I'd never thought I'd like. Hands down best SUP lesson I've ever had. I'm planning on taking a surf lesson with The Surf Professor soon. If you want a more personalized experience away from the usual tourist mayhem, this is the guy to go to. Long session to be able to really learn. Personalized lesson based on what you want to get out of the lesson and affordable price.

I have to mention, first of all, that the instructor was one the biggest reasons I was able to…read morefinally get my Driver's License at 28 years old, and on my first try at the road test, too. Each session was about an hour long, and was well worth the time and money spent. The instructor was never late, and the courses we took always had us finishing on time (something very important in my busy schedule). We only drove places that I felt comfortable with, starting off on the surface streets, then proceeding to the main roads and finally the freeway. The instructor teaches good driving habits in terms of turning, changing lanes, controlling the speed of your vehicle, etc. Yes, he did take the wheel and readjusted my course a couple of times in the first session, but that's because I was veering off center! It's comforting that he pays enough attention to do this, and his vehicle is also equipped with a brake on the passenger side, just in case. It didn't take me the amount of time that I thought it would to get comfortable enough to take the road test, and the instructor was kind enough to recommend cutting the number of sessions. You know you're dealing with a good guy when he willingly sacrifices paid sessions because he knows you no longer need his services. Overall, I'd recommend Haskell's to anyone learning to drive, at any age (teens or adults). The instructor and his wife are both great people and extremely easy to work with. No complaints here.

Kapunahala Elementary School is where I spent my grade school years and where our daughter Kimmee…read morealso attended. What makes this school so great is not only it's convenient location which is less than a block away but the consistently great administrative and teaching staff that has become a standard here over the years. The academic and human values learned here has stuck with me throughout my life and helped me in my development as I moved on in life and into the tough world of being a teenager. One of the best programs at Kapunahala Elementary when our daughter was attending there was the AGT(academically gifted and talented) which started to mold her interests which later became a career in performing arts. Our daughter Kimmee went on to join the touring cast of the Broadway hit musical Miss Saigon, was on the original Broadway cast of Mama Mia and later cast on the Discovery channel's popular children's TV show HI-5. It's hard to make a fair conclusion when you only know of one place but through personal experience and results the assumption that Kapunahala Elementary is the best place to send your kids might not be all that wrong.
