...my age and younger, and I have experience working with refugee/ELL students; I have collected 2 years of experience. Though I can tutor several subjects, I am most passionate for Japanese, and feel it is my true calling. In my experience helping those who want to learn a foreign language like Japanese, I have found that scaffolding, or building off of, your interests in film, food, literature and culture has a profound and positive effect...

...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, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students'...

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.

...music teacher. I'm super excited to be your ESL, French, Japanese, or Music Theory tutor! I find that the one-on-one environment of tutoring is truly special because of the tutor-student relationship that can develop over time, and the learning and growth that can happen in such a setting. I love interacting with my students and helping them directly, and I love seeing students meet their learning goals. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy...

...class of 2008, with BAs in Japanese and linguistics. While languages and language itself are my first love, I enjoy working in a variety of other subjects as well. As a student and a teacher, I prefer working from the fundamentals to memorizing facts; I feel that understanding how and why something works is a more interesting and effective method, and helps nurture critical thinking, an essential life skill. I look forward to helping students...

...opinion section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy. I derive happiness from seeing others grow and contributing to the lifelong process of education, so I find tutoring to be an appropriate outlet for this passion. In my...

...my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students. For me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the...

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors degree at Indiana University Bloomington, majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Psychology and Japanese. I tutor multiple subjects, but I enjoy tutoring Algebra and Japanese the most. I believe that everybody should be able to get the education that they deserve and the attention and help in order for them to achieve that. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the Guitar, Photography, and playing Badminton.

...to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs. Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, 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...

...in mathematics, cultural studies, economics, and business. The subjects I tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material. I view learning as equipping myself with different tools...

...making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular 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...

...love Japan, travel abroad often, and I'm fluent in both Japanese and English. I use both fun and easy techniques to teach complex languages such as Japanese or English. Many instructors throw textbooks upon textbooks at the student, which makes you feel overwhelmed and in a lot of cases give up. Instead, I use methods and skills that you can easily pick up and learn fast whether it be through webcam or in person. My...

...to make sure that every student that I work with leaves with an understanding of the content that I teach them. I do not only have my students strive for excellence, but I want them to find what they love about learning overall. Especially, in a subject they are struggling with. It is important when you are teaching a child that we get them invested in their own education. It is not enough for a...

...interpreter from Japanese to English and English to Japanese. I have lived and worked in Japan as well and would be able to teach about the culture of Japan and how it compares/differs from that of the United States. I have taught Japanese from elementary schoolers to adults and adjust my teaching method to have a personalized experience for each student. I have received a 5 on the AP Japanese Language and Culture Exam and...

...mathematics but I am confident in my abilities in helping students complete homework in all academic areas. I like teaching math because over the years I have built up a great deal of insight into different ways to explain core mathematical concepts and relationships. As a tutor I like to find a baseline where my student feels confident and build on that confidence. I believe in practicing success but learning from failure. Outside of academia...

...I decided to make it my academic focus. I continued to learn as much about language as I could and studied Italian, Korean, Serbo-Croatian, and Classical Japanese along the way. I turned my attention back to Latin at the end of college and studied it in a whole new light. My mission is not to simply teach languages, but show students how fulfilling and rewarding it is to create a connection and understanding with other...

...graduate ('19) where I majored in East Asian Studies. My academic interests center around language learning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean as well as history, anthropology, and media studies. I have worked as a college advisor for high school students in the United States and have also taught English in Japan to students of all ages. Beyond these academic interests, I enjoy playing cello and guitar, cooking, reading, and drinking all kinds of tea. I'm excited...

...practices. I graduated in 2013 from Utah State University (USU) with a BA in Political Science: International studies with a minor in Japanese. In addition to having taken the Japanese language courses offered at USU, I also attended the 2009 summer Japanese language program at Middlebury College in Vermont, studying intermediate Japanese. The Middlebury language program is like a boot-camp for language learners, students sign a contract at the start of the summer program, agreeing...

...lesson will be a time for fun. We play games, play shopping / haircut / restaurant and more to simulate that you are living in Japan. You can also see some Japanese cultural background through the lesson specially learning from native Japanese. I use original handmade materials for my lessons. I am always excited to see my students speak with their own words in Japanese! Same as for my art students, I am excited to...
