Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Blaine, MN

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.

...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, or head outside and...

...and tutoring experience, and I'm excited to work with you to address your specific needs! I was born in Denver, CO, and grew up in a small ski town called Steamboat Springs. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and moved to New York to study philosophy at Columbia University. After college, I spend two years teaching English in the public school system in Japan before going back to Columbia to complete...

...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 day! My method involves...

...Japanese on my own and eventually studied business at the graduate level at UCF. Informally I study history and culture and love to read. I taught English, Reading and Writing in the Japanese public school system for nearly 5 years from 2001-2006 and know well the satisfaction that comes from seeing a student succeed. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and at this moment am taking an online digital marketing course through the University...

...Bachelor's of Science and Bachelor's of Arts and my majors are Physiology and Japanese respectively. I am also fluent (reading/listening/writing) in Cantonese and mandarin Chinese because of my upbringing. Half of my childhood education was received in Hong Kong and the other half was in Australia. Because of my multicultural upbringing, I have a strong passion in helping students to learn a foreign language and culture. I understand the challenges that may come with being...

...through high school. I was very engaged in the community as I played soccer for a Japanese academy since I was 5 years old until I graduated high school. I would consider Japan home as all of my friends still live there along with my family. As a passionate advocate for the Japanese language and culture, I am thrilled at the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise as a Japanese tutor. Having immersed myself...

...and Computer Science. I spent a few years in Japan as a volunteer, and one of the things I did was teach English conversation, in groups from as many as twenty-five to as a few as three. I'll be earning my JLPT N1 certification later this year -- Japanese is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also enjoy mathematics. I am a firm believer that the ability to do well in studying comes not...

...an important goal was to introduce Japanese and American students, exchanging cultural and linguistic information, and especially creating long-lasting friendships. I enjoy being able to pass on my knowledge to students who are eager to learn about the language, as well as share my personal experiences and offer advice to those interested in doing study abroad programs in the future. To plan my sessions for teaching or tutoring students, I first test their level of...
