Award-Winning AP Japanese Language and Culture Tutors

Janice ...from pre-kindergarten through high school. Most of my experience is related to preparing my students for standardized tests, focusing on useful test-taking strategies. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am more geared towards math and science subjects. I encourage my students to become comfortable using a variety of methods to solve problems. This decreases their chance of getting stuck on difficult problems. Helping my students make connections between similar...

Chris ...Physics, beginning at Patrick Henry HS and later at Grossmont and Cuyamaca Community Colleges. I worked at Mesa College in the Math and Science Tutoring Center, where I also tutored Mechanical Engineering and beginning Japanese. I have enjoyed each subject I've studied; my favorite is Physics in that its study is so far reaching from sub-atomic quarks to black hole singularities. Overcoming my own difficulties with mathematics and English has encouraged me to help other...

Yunhui ...things I enjoy about tutoring is the ability to see students accomplish their goals. I still remember how excited I was after one of my students was able to say a complete sentence in Chinese. When tutoring, I am very patient. I am learning English, so I know what it's like to be a language learner. In addition, I am able to find creative ways to explain Chinese grammar. In my spare time, I enjoy...

Yoshi ...of Baruch College. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Operations Management, with a minor in Spanish. Since graduating, I've tutored people of all ages, with varying levels of proficiency (i.e. beginners, etc.) In addition to grammar and literature, I've helped my students improve their conversational Japanese in everyday situations. My lessons also incorporate elements of Japanese culture, especially pop culture and anime/manga, and history. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano, painting,...

Andrew I have taught intellectual property law for the past two years and SAT preparation for the past 10 years. I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.... My teaching philosophy is to help empower students to stay calm and use what information they know to arrive at the correct answers on tests through good game theory and deductive reasoning

Brandon ...the opinion section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy. I derive happiness from seeing others grow and contributing to the lifelong process of education, so I find tutoring to be an appropriate outlet for this passion. In...

Jonathan ...the National Honor Society. Throughout college I was involved in the Emergency Medical Services as a first responder. I've taken many different courses in many different areas, from computer science to Japanese. I believe it's important to have a solid education in today's world, and as a tutor I emphasize the importance of being prepared for tests. I want to make sure the students themselves can rehearse what they have learned, and that they themselves...

Keeley ...During my time in college I was the president of my all-female a cappella group and had the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Kyoto, Japan. In my free time I love to cook (I have worked in a couple well-known New York restaurants), read, sing, play piano, explore cities, eat, and travel. While I am comfortable working with students of all ages, I prefer to tutor K-8 or high school students preparing...

Geneva ...I have spent the past 2 years working in Japan as an English teacher for the Japanese government. Now that I am back in the U.S., I am excited to begin working with students and sharing how improving your language and writing skills can lead to world travel. I also am excited to teach/tutor Japanese language and share the culture I learned with students here. I am a very interactive tutor. I work to create...

Isaac ...don't dare to say aloud. Tutoring can help us make the most out of the steps along the way to those goals. Let's work together – to become better students, leaders, workers, friends, parents, siblings, children, and people. Be it at work, at home or at play, we all can improve. Let us challenge ourselves to never have a maximum potential in any area of our lives. As a teacher & tutor for over ten...
