Janae: Laguna Niguel tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a software engineer with a degree in Computer Information Systems and a minor in Chinese. Currently I am working towards going to graduate school for computer science. I studied abroad in Beijing, China, for my junior year of high school, where I took intensive Mandarin Chinese courses, immersed myself in the local culture, and traveled throughout China. During the summer before my sophomore year of college, I was awarded a Chinese Flagship study abroad scholarship and took 400-level Chinese courses at National Taiwan University. I can read and write with both traditional and simplified characters. Tutoring has given me many wonderful opportunities to engage with disciplines that I am passionate about while guiding students in becoming better learners. My primary experience has been tutoring elementary and middle school students in humanities subjects and math. In addition to this, I have tutored primary and secondary school students in Mandarin Chinese both privately and as a teacher's assistant for two summers at a Chinese school in my hometown. Beyond academics, I enjoy reading, drawing, traveling, cycling, watching films, and cooking.
