Award-Winning Japanese Tutors in Connecticut

...native speaker of Japanese who was born and raised in Japan, I can teach both the language and the culture. Through my learning experience as a TESOL student, I learned a lot about teaching English. Since I learned English as my second language, I know what is difficult to non-native speakers of English well. I chose my undergrad major (Polish studies) because I love Chopin. I've been playing the piano since I was 4 years...

...time, until the goal - understanding, bound up in an achievable package - is reached. Above all of this, though, I know I am most grateful for my teachers - anyone who has helped me learn, from my parents and friends, to my actual instructors. The people who have taught me were some of the most kind, considerate, understanding, and accommodating people. Thanks to them I was able to discover not just what I love...

...and colleagues helping them achieve their objectives. I always found it rewarding to see faces shine during Aha moments of understanding and eventually see many of them improve their scores/performance. With regards to learning, I believe there are 3 keys: practice, practice and more practice! In other words, my message to you is be not afraid. Any seemingly complex knowledge can be learned with sufficient understanding and review. I am here to guide you every...

...also tutored Mechanical Engineering and beginning Japanese. I have enjoyed each subject I've studied; my favorite is Physics in that its study is so far reaching from sub-atomic quarks to black hole singularities. Overcoming my own difficulties with mathematics and English has encouraged me to help other people overcome their difficulties. I am very patient and try to make the assignments as interesting as possible to draw in students that are having difficulties with a...

...Decathlon, Quiz Bowl, and Speech/Debate. I received my Management Degree from Carnegie Mellon University in addition to quadruple majoring at Seton Hall University with degrees in International Relations, Modern Languages, Regional Studies, aand Liberal Studies (Business/History). I enjoy meeting people and helping them overcome any obstacles to achieve their dreams. In my spare time, I enjoy mentoring entrepreneurial startups, particularly digital and entertainment-related projects. I enjoy playing the violin, interesting board and card games, as...

...communication for both professional and educational purposes. I have also volunteered for seven years with my therapy dog in a literacy program at libraries and in special education classrooms. I believe that when learning is made enjoyable and interactive to the students needs, students are more fully engaged and can excel. I enjoy working with all levels of English ability. I have been speaking Japanese for 30 years and would also be able to tutor...

...where they need extra attention without feeling ashamed. I operate on a strengths-based, praise-heavy teaching style, 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 GPA. Before that, I...

...I taught in English immersion programs, teaching everything from phonics and essay writing to science and math. I had students of all levels: younger students who were still learning to read, write, and tie their shoes, older students attempting to enter international or American/British high schools and universities, and adults who wanted to brush up or continue to learn more. I enjoy working with students and seeing them learn and make progress. I like to...

...having learned Spanish primarily with my mother who is from Mexico. Since completing AP Japanese in high school, I have continued my own study of the language and culture mainly via online conversation practices. My experience is mostly in tutoring English, ESL, and TEFL. I completed my 100 Hour ESL/TEFL/TESOL Certificate with Oxford Seminars. With my multicultural background and academic experience, I am passionate about tutoring and teaching with patience and an open perspective. Since...

...Economics, and Foreign Languages. Whatever the subject, I am a proponent of the "Teach a man to fish..." approach: rather than just focusing on giving my students the answer, I enjoy helping them understand how to think about the concepts. Even if Trigonometry sounds dry, for example, I have seen how explaining it in terms of "pretend you want to hit the baseball farther than anyone else and you need to figure out what angle...
