Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Roseville, CA

...sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!

...and waves). Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students. For me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

...graduate of Macalester College, class of 2008, with BAs in Japanese and linguistics. While languages and language itself are my first love, I enjoy working in a variety of other subjects as well. As a student and a teacher, I prefer working from the fundamentals to memorizing facts; I feel that understanding how and why something works is a more interesting and effective method, and helps nurture critical thinking, an essential life skill. I look...

...college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my students learn, so that they can do so most efficiently.... The material should...

...map. I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs. Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather than trauma. In each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural world....

I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work. If you're looking for a more creative approach to language, that's what I provide. I have plenty of books and media that I've used myself to further my own studies.... I believe in going with the flow of nature. One must walk before they can run and crawl before they can walk.... I like to...

...I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that will improve on their own methods. I enjoy the challenge of finding novel ways to help students make...

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors degree at Indiana University Bloomington, majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Psychology and Japanese. I tutor multiple subjects, but I enjoy tutoring Algebra and Japanese the most.

Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the Guitar, Photography, and playing Badminton.

After graduate school, I headed to Japan to live and teach ESL for two...

...Center Writing Consultant where I assisted students in academic writing. By far one of the most rewarding milestones of tutoring is the moment you witness the student satisfied with the achievements you have helped them accomplish. Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic success and achievement. I enjoy tutoring in ESL, Chinese, Writing, and beginner Japanese. Aside from tutoring, I am a musically inclined individual who...

...language for four months. On campus, I tutor other students, oversee Japanese conversation circles, and participate in extracurricular translation. This past summer, I taught English at a high school in Hokkaido and once again lived with a host family. Language allows us to connect with people in new ways! That's why I teach Japanese with a focus on connection with other people in class conversations, groups, and exercises that emphasize speaking in addition to the...

Half of my childhood education was received in Hong Kong and the other half was in Australia. Because of my multicultural upbringing, I have a strong passion in helping students to learn a foreign language and culture.

...pace at which their English ability increased was mind-boggling. I also studied the Japanese language while living there, gaining fluency in both text-book Japanese as well as day-to-day conversational Japanese. After returning from Japan, I had the opportunity to move to China for the remainder of the year and once again teach English as a volunteer. I taught almost exclusively 1st and 2nd graders, and it was such a stinking blast! I prefer to do...
