Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Bergen County, NJ

...Because of the practice I gained as an undergraduate, and as a classroom teacher, I now tutor SAT Critical Reading, Writing, Literacy, History, and Japanese. Writing is my favorite subject to tutor. I enjoy the fact that even the most dense research assignment asks the writer to take a stand. Very few subjects ask for a student's opinion, but writing asks for just that. I like guiding students to figuring out the right answer, instead...

...hopefully engage you or your young learner in the material involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to...

...Freelance Computer Technician and Computer Modeler/Builder for eight years, tutored hundreds of students free of charge for eight years, and doing research about ten hours a week. After graduation, I took my first full time job in Japan as an English teacher. The reason for this was because I wanted to feel my independence but in the most extreme fashion imaginable.

...language course meant full immersion from day one. For the slightly bolder students like me, taking two different, intensive languages courses during the same time period meant constant brain hiccups at the most inopportune moments. Why could I only think of pinyin for the Chinese characters that I had just spent twenty minutes memorizing? And why did I blurt that out in Japanese to my English speaking family? Was I ever going to be able...

...years there as an ESL instructor, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of students: everyone from small children to retires. While it was great helping students to improve their test scores, translate their presentations, and boost their communication skills, I feel my most valuable contribution was cultural exchange. Even if it was just for moment, I'm happy that I encouraged locals to look past the stereotypes and see foreigners not as alien...

...While there I taught students ages 8 to 18. Each student had varying Japanese knowledge and I was able to teach every one of them while speaking only in Japanese. So I am very comfortable with teaching Japanese in an immersion setting. My passion for Japanese is in speaking and listening and immersion teaching lends itself well to learning these skills. In my spare time I like to play video games like the Legend of...

...have a love for Biology, but a love for every science. I hope to start a Masters of Science abroad in the following fall. Humans are so lucky to have a capacity for reason, so we can explore the infinite content of the universe. I love to draw out that love for learning in students, even ones who seem to feel discouraged or insecure in their lack of understanding. All people have a capacity to...

I've also taught English in elementary schools in Japan, and worked online and in person with kids and adults in ESL and Japanese. I have experience tutoring for standardized tests as well.

I am a rising third-year student at Trinity College Dublin, and I am working towards a degree in English Literature. I have a lot of practical test-taking and study skills to offer, particularly in high school and middle school academics and standardized testing! I also consider myself a well-rounded student, so though my passion lies in English and writing, I love to teach math, science, and history subjects as well!
