...to many of Japan's beautiful cities and neighboring countries while learning about the language and culture. Although I have enjoyed my experience in the classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis.

...and make my students feel like stars (because they are)! I also am trained in mindfulness-based techniques to help children with any anxiety or behavioral issues that get in the way of learning. I have a Master's degree from the University of Southern California (USC), where I graduated as a Dean's Scholar with a 3.98...

...via Skype.

...most of my undergraduate career and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tutoring is one of my passions because I love learning and want to show others the joys of learning too.

...learning. I will strive to help my students become successful, not only in their studies, but also in their path to becoming responsible, caring adults. This is my goal as an educator.

...to fish..." approach: rather than just focusing on giving my students the answer, I enjoy helping them understand how to think about the concepts.

...helping students who struggle with the abstract nature of math to understand why the steps are the way they are, and in helping to improve the student's fluency with math vernacular. Because I come from a verbal background, I work especially well with students who excel at verbal subjects, but struggle at math.... My philosophy for teaching largely lies in giving children the tools they need to feel in control of their education. Rather than approaching education as a series of directions to be followed, I work to see that my students understand why they are doing what they are doing, and how one lesson connects with the next to build their overall education. Students who feel in control of their learning are free to pursue their educational interests both inside and outside of school.
