I am a student attending Central Washington University, completing programs in Music Composition, Music Education, and Mathematics Education. I have two years of experience with reciprocal peer tutoring in the areas of Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Music. My interdisciplinary experiences help me work with students from diverse and unique academic backgrounds, and enable me to present material in a variety of different ways. Most importantly, I believe in fostering a love for learning.

...I understand how difficult working within the system can be on a family. Also, how "neuronormies" can struggle with math and find it overwhelming. As a lifetime learner who originally obtained an AA degree in Behavioral Science (emphasis in Psych.); I went on to attain a BA degree in Speech Communications (emphasis in Rhetoric and Public Speaking) with a minor in marketing (emphasis in Sustainable Marketing), in Colorado, at MSU; I graduated Summa Cum Laude.......

...and will often make stuff up just to keep the conversation going. I started tutoring back in the 90's in a program called Start Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found some computer programs that did alphabet and word recognition with animation. I also worked in an after school tutoring program for high school students. It was a melding of tutoring and mentoring, trying to get some at-risk students into college by improving their grades....

...team. The subjects I tutored were writing composition, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects), music classes and Japanese. My top subject however is Japanese, especially as half I'm Japanese and my family moved from Japan to the US when I was 7. I communicate in Japanese at home, I attended Japanese language school on Saturdays, and I took advanced/business level Japanese courses in college. If you're looking for someone to tutor you Japanese, from...

...to AP Calculus. With a large background in science, I also tutor kids that are struggling with chemistry and physics. Generally, my favorite subject to teach is algebra. Often times this is when kids begin to doubt themselves or first struggle with mathematics, so I think its important to make sure they are really comfortable with the skills they will need. With two years of professional mathematics tutoring experience, I am able to help students...
