...also a pre-medical student, and am currently applying to medical school. I tutored throughout high school for several hours a week, and when I became a senior I supervised other tutors as president of 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...

...1.5 years tutoring English in Tokyo. In 2012 I took a seminar in Texas for Accelerated Language Teaching Methods that covered the methods used by the Canadian Institute of English (CIE). I use these methods (including Audio-lingual method & Total Physical Response) in my LIVELY tutoring sessions. I play Jazz saxophone (gave lessons/played a few live gigs in Tokyo), so I love audio learning methods. My day job is Web Development but my fun job...

...it to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful activities, which cliched as it may sound, really can make a difference in people's lives. Besides teaching, I am also keenly interested in the human body, specifically biomechanics, kinesiology, and rehabilitation through movement. I am currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis, which I should finish in 2018. I started tutoring in 2012, when I went back...

...by specific rules and, sometimes, exceptions. Through divergent thinking and debate of dialogic points of view, students are pushed outside their comfort zone and are pushed to think for themselves. To teach is to learn and I encourage my students to teach themselves, teach each other and to teach me. My experience enables me to better understand different approaches to engage students and their diverse learning style via reprisal of ideas, verbal reflection and progression...

...with students. I have nearly four years of experience with tutoring kids and teenagers from an age range of 8-18. I try my very best to help the student understand what they are doing. Whether it is homework help or understanding a subject, I want the student to truly understand for themselves rather than have the work done for them. My method is to have them understand the "why" in concepts rather than just the...

...in Chinese language and literature and while I do not have a minor, I have also extensively studied Japanese during my college career. Due to me being a full-time student, I currently have no tutoring experience, but I did often assist my classmates in their studies and they seemed very receptive to my assistance. In the future, I plan to return to school to earn a Masters degree in Translation/Interpretation, but in the meantime, I...

I am 21 years old. I am from Japan, and have been studying in the US for 3 years. I have been helping students learning Japanese language as a assistant of Japanese classes for a year in Hawaii and Florida.

...and teaching. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and have also studied Japanese, German, Brazilian Sign Language, and Italian. I would describe my teaching philosophy as friendly but structured. I use lesson plan organization techniques including lesson plan outlines and back-up activities in case a certain activity does not go as planned. I also am familiar with teaching methodologies, learning styles, and how certain methodologies are appropriate for certain learning styles. Outside of Academia I...

...and China. I have a wide variety of experiences and am very well traveled. I have worked in an educational setting for over 3 years and have served as a tutor in various capacities throughout my career. I have proven my ability to tutor through the improved successes of my students and the adoration of their parents. I have a wide variety of knowledge in all areas of social sciences and have taken Graduate courses...

...dissolve and conquer any and all challenges you may experience in the learning process; (4) succeed in your language goals; (5) learn in a productive and safe learning environment! Everyone learns in a different way, and I believe that it is the purpose of a tutor to help students in the way that works best for them. Discussions and making plenty of examples is pivotal in learning Japanese. I am also a big fan of...

...Carnegie Mellon University. I enjoy tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one 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,...

...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 learning easier. Illustrating how these subjects can be fascinating and relevant out in the real world can help ignite interest in a struggling learner. In my spare time I like...

...first discovered tutoring while an undergraduate student at the University of California, Irvine, helping international students improve their English skills. As I progressed through undergrad and graduate school, I expanded my tutoring repertoire to include French and Japanese, two languages I have studied extensively, while obtaining my teaching credential in Music. After graduate school, I headed to Japan to live and teach ESL for two years, before heading back to Silicon Valley to purse a...

...Japanese. I believe there are two things more important than any other to learn: critical thought and understanding. The two go hand in hand. Only by understanding something can we engage it critically, and only by thinking critically can we truly understand something. My goal as an instructor is help my students gain these skills. I don't want to just bark, "This is correct. End of discussion." I want my students to know why they...

...be fun. It all depends on the approach you take. During my time in Japan, I continued to study Japanese myself, passing the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency test. Preparing for the different levels of the test constantly reminded me of challenges people can come across trying to obtain a goal. When I have free time, I like to catch a new movie (or an old one that's new to me), take pictures,...

...Japanese. I was a TA for Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism at MIT, and I tutored in math and science in high school. I scored a perfect score on the SAT Math section twice, and have taken 11 AP tests with an average score of 4.7. I believe the best way to learn math is through challenging problems, and gaining confidence in yourself when you find that you understand those problems. I am passionate about...

...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. My goal is for you to develop a comfortable rhythm using unfamiliar vocabulary and the ideas behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test...

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.

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...
