Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Cleveland, OH

I am a senior at Kent State with a major in Interpersonal Communications and a minor in Japanese. I love communicating and assisting people and also determined to to help people achieve their goals.

I have an M.Ed in Special Needs and Inclusive Education. I have worked for the past several years one-on-one with with neurodiverse students, particularly those with autism and ADHD. I primarily work with students in teaching executive functioning and life skills. I like to empower students through self-knowledge of their diagnosis and taking ownership in developing their own strategies that work best with their unique learning styles.

...calling. In my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions in organic chemistry to pragmatic analysis, is achievable. It's my job...

...Japanese, and am a researcher for both departments. From high school to the present day I have tutored people 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...

...in China. The experience was so wonderful I didn't want to leave it. However, I had an opportunity to teach in Japan, but the global pandemic closed that route. Regardless, I still seek to teach. Teaching is not only for the peer but for the instructor. Each student has troubles in various areas, but it is easy for me to point them out and teach them properly. English is my main subject to teach, especially...

...did serve as substitute teacher in Los Angeles and spent two months working at a language magnet school teaching Japanese. I bring both experience in the collegiate classroom and from several trip to Japan to my tutoring in Japanese Language; as a tutor I want to bring all this experience to help students further their passion and understanding of Japanese language and culture. I am also available to tutor in math, a subject I continue...

...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, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I...

...such as calculus and chemistry. While I enjoy tutoring students in all of the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves). Physics is 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...

...History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In...

...serve as the editor of the 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...

...my goal to teach English as a means to have students think more critically about their own identity, the identities of others, social, cultural, and global issues rather than merely as a subject to read, write, and memorize. My teaching philosophy is centered on encouraging students to use all of their senses in the learning process. I know from professional and personal experiences that experiential learning is critical in order for students to process, retain, and...

...learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am open and flexible to hearing feedback from the students and their parents in the interest of maximizing student learning. While my background...

...I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

...in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in an intensive language and emersion program. During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage 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...

...I developed during my studies. Having learned through past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style. I aim to make the learning experience feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity for self-improvement. Outside of tutoring, I indulge my addiction to crossword puzzles and enjoy foreign language studies and practicing guitar in my spare time. I believe...

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...

...Montana, and graduated from University of Montana with a Bachelors of Art. Despite being born in the United States, I 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...

...am also a current graduate student enrolled in the Linguistics program at Boston University. I am a life-long lover and learner of language and hope to share my passion for the languages I have devoted much of my time and career to, Spanish and Japanese. I aim to help my students succeed in their language learning goals and achieve fluency and competence in all aspects of language learning. When not studying, I love to read,...

I am a very passionate learner and I would be delighted to share that love for learning to other students. My empathetic mindset, work ethic, and persistence for success is what I value most about myself and how it can positively impact others.... My philosophies behind teaching are that there is not a single method to learn a subject, but multiple approaches to learning it. My belief is that using all the resources acquirable will lead...

...two years, I returned to KU where I earned a master's degree in the history of philosophy and was also awarded the outstanding graduate student award as well as the outstanding teaching assistant award for that year. I then transferred to the Ohio State University, which was at the time ranked 10th in the world in my chosen field of study, philosophy of mind and cognitive science. After obtaining my second master's degree in that...
