Personally, I'm fascinated by the mechanics and psychology of storytelling and the way stories shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us.

That's why I encourage a practical and hands-on approach to learning the art and science of creative writing.

...and making it relevant, not simply on a global level, but on an individual one as well. This means not only asking the question, "How is this idea relevant to the modern day?" but also to pose to your student, "How is this relevant to you, to your individual life?" When one does the latter, one not only cultivates an intellect, but cultivates a relationship as well, and that is key to effective pedagogy.

Combined with teaching Japanese entirely in the Japanese language, my teaching methods focused on interactive activities and applying learned knowledge through fun games and practicing the content to retain understanding.

I know that struggling with a subject can be incredibly frustrating and stressful, and math & science topics in particular are a difficult topic to master for a lot of people. The pathway to mastery involves figuring out what your learning style is and identifying key areas of misunderstanding. Knowing exactly what you're struggling with is the first step to finally understanding it. I want...
