Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Elizabeth, NJ

...my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them how it is derived so they acquire a good grasp of how it operates. Outside of school, I really enjoy being involved with music. I love singing, playing the drums, piano, and guitar. My favorite genre...

...7 years in Japan working as a liaison, policy adviser, and sometime interpreter/translator. However, the job I enjoyed most was as the chief of a team training Army units preparing to conduct joint exercises with Asia-Pacific partners. I really enjoyed teaching and sharing my experiences in order to prepare soldiers to succeed and bring the same enthusiasm to tutoring. The best way to remember something is to have it practically apply to you--I try to...

I want to tutor you! As a New Yorker and an aspiring English teacher, I want to pay close attention to your idiosyncratic means of learning to tailor an approach that is right for you. The teacher's organization is the key to both the student and teacher's success.

...as the culture and language. While I enjoy academics as a whole, my passion has been in the Japanese language and Psychology, both of which I have an extensive college education in. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. I believe learning another language is difficult enough on its own, so I aim to bridge the gaps in culture, native pronunciation, and enjoyment, through a relaxed, organized, patient, and encouraging approach. Consistency is...

I am an experienced tutor and teacher from Okinawa, Japan who recently graduated from Brown University and now lives in Brooklyn. I double-majored in economics and urban studies but most of my tutoring and independent teaching experience comes from high school math tutoring, teaching ESL to adults, and college application essay tutoring through Varsity Tutors. I was an ESL teacher for 4 years during undergrad, and also co-coordinated an adult ESL program in Providence, RI.

...Paterson University with a Bachelor's in Music and East Asian Studies, Japanese Focus. I tutor for both these areas, music and the Japanese language, and I enjoy both because they can be challenging and amazing to learn.

In my spare time, I like participating in Japanese culture activities, walking outside, movies, reading, and writing...

...DOE as a substitute teacher in New York City public, private, and charter schools, teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City!

...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 step of...

...When I immigrated to the US, I became interested in Japanese culture where there was Japanese television on Fridays. When those programming licensing ended, I turned to the internet. In the second semester in college, I took the opportunity to enroll in the first Elementary Japanese class. I was able to get an A in the class. I have taken all the required classes and have become proficient in Japanese. In addition to tutoring Japanese,...

...such as friends, peers, and class mates, and I have always enjoyed seeing their progress as students. My tutoring experiences include after-school assistance to those struggling in Ancient Greek at my former high school, to helping Juniors and Sophomores help ace the SAT. My specialty is language and history, with an emphasis on Japanese, English, Latin, US history and World History, but I am also more than happy to help out those struggling with Algebra...

...just keep working at it! As clich as it sounds, giving up is really the only failure you and I will ever encounter. As long as you are effective in your approach, you will make progress towards the goal you're working on. So enjoy the journey and take note of the milestones! Finally, and perhaps the most comforting thought of all is that you've already accomplished this, and now you're just doing it again. If...

I graduated Cornell University College of Engineering cum laude with honors, majoring in biological engineering. Following graduation, I worked in a cancer drug discovery lab for a pharmaceutical company. I have tutored students of all ages in a variety of subjects. I am passionate about teaching and really want to see everyone succeed.

...a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring, the processes to solve a particular dilemma, the steps would become second nature to the student. As I am comfortable with anything from Biology...

...some gap time in Japan and working back in NYC, I'm back at school at NYU, studying for a more general liberal arts degree. I'm great with standardized tests, SAT, PSAT, AP; if the College Board makes you sit in a room for it, I can probably help you out, and of course I have experience with New York's SHSAT. Most of my past tutoring experience was helping classmates with history, English and literature courses,...

...Neuroscience. I am currently continuing my education in Japan at Waseda University Graduate School of Sports Science to study sports physio-psychology.

I especially love teaching molecular biology because its...

...for the EIKEN (an English Proficiency Standardized Test), we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the interview stage of the exams. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, French, History and Linguistics. My passion and discipline for learning foreign languages were the driving forces I was able to achieve fluency for some of the languages I took the effort to learn to this day....

I am a native Japanese and have experience working in Japan. I have always been enjoying teaching both one-on-one tutoring and groups. Looking forward to seeing you.

...in Biochemistry. I switched my major from Biology to Biochemistry because I wanted to do more lab work. I have experience working as a trained math instructor. I started my tutor career after I volunteered in the elementary school event where children from first to fifth grade play games that require simple math. It was an amazing experience to see children solving math and says "I know this!" or "I can do this!". My favorite...

...Arts, with a focus on Japanese, sociology, ethnomusicology and theater. I was a camp counselor at Concordia College's Immersion Language Village's Japanese camp called Mori no Ike for two years. While there I taught students ages 8 to 18. Each student had varying Japanese knowledge and I was able to teach every one of them while speaking only in Japanese. So I am very comfortable with teaching Japanese in an immersion setting. My passion for...
