I am a Princeton University 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 to know my students and look forward to working together with them!

Hi! It's Wataru. I am originally from Japan and have been living in New York since 2000. I had a career as an industrial newspaper pressman/editor in Tokyo so that I know newspaper level strict grammar and manner of business speech. I watch anime and I can talk about Japanese subculture with you if you like. I have been teaching Japanese language in person and online. I have taught from beginners to JLPT N3 certificate prep students. I've taught American, Canadian, English, Indian, German, Australian, Mexican, and so on. Teaching is one of my way to feel the joy of supporting people. I'll help you master the language and dive into Japanese culture and subculture. Once you start to think in Japanese, you will notice that your way of communication changes. English is good for business, law, and science while Japanese is more about sharing feelings. The waiters in Japan may be reluctant to serve your table, but my students prepare well to make them feel at ease and they have fantastic travel in Japan.

I recently graduated from Yale University with Honors in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, where I also completed the Shen Curriculum for Musical Theater and pursued graduate coursework in producing and production management at the David Geffen School of Drama. Alongside my academic work, I have cultivated extensive experience in tutoring and college consulting that reflects both my organizational skills and my passion for helping students discover their strengths. Since 2018, I have tutored high school students in a variety of academic subjects, and since 2020, I have worked as a college counselor, guiding students through every stage of the admissions process. My students have gained admission to schools including UCLA, UC Berkeley, the University of Washington, UC Davis, and others. I particularly enjoy helping underclassmen identify academic and extracurricular opportunities that align with their interests, often creating personalized "college projects" that highlight initiative, leadership, and unique passions. My approach is student-centered and holistic: I aim not only to strengthen academic performance but also to build confidence, curiosity, and a sense of purpose.

I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.

I am a graduate of SUNY University at Albany. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Japanese with a minor in History in 2010. Since then (and even before as a sub) I have predominantly been teaching in the New York City public education system. I had worked as a substitute teaching assistant since 2008, moving between dozens of NYC public schools before finally settling in late 2011 at M.S. 216 George J. Ryan--an incredibly diverse middle school in Queens. During my tenure in the school system I have spent time teaching students from Pre-K to 12th grade, from all cultural background and socioeconomic statuses. Regardless of whom I have taught, I have always enjoyed it, partly because I often learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Regardless of the subject, I love teaching, and I find it to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful activities, which cliched as it may sound, really can make a difference in people's lives. Besides teaching, I am also keenly interested in the human body, specifically biomechanics, kinesiology, and rehabilitation through movement. I am currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis, which I should finish in 2018. Hobbies: art, books, sports, reading, music, writing

Everybody learns, and everybody learns differently. The importance of pedagogy, the practice of teaching, cannot be overstated. It is not enough to share knowledge; knowledge must be communicated. This is the philosophy by which I have tutored and by which I currently tutor. With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my students learn, so that they can do so most efficiently.

From an early age, I have been fascinated by the power of learning and the joy of teaching. Growing up, I spent countless hours helping my classmates with their schoolwork, finding immense satisfaction in witnessing their understanding grow and their confidence soar. This passion for education led me to pursue a career in tutoring, where I could combine my love of learning with my ability to connect with and inspire others. My approach to tutoring is grounded in the belief that every student possesses unique strengths and learning styles. I strive to create a supportive and personalized environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and actively engaging in the learning process. I believe in fostering a growth mindset, encouraging students to view challenges as opportunities for growth and to persevere in the face of setbacks. Over the years, I have had the privilege of tutoring students from diverse backgrounds and with varying learning needs. I have learned that effective tutoring goes beyond simply conveying knowledge; it involves understanding the individual student, their motivations, and their challenges. I have also discovered that tutoring is not a one-way street; I learn as much from my students as they do from me. My commitment to tutoring extends beyond the classroom. I actively seek opportunities to participate in professional development workshops and conferences, staying abreast of the latest pedagogical research and best practices. I also maintain a strong network of fellow tutors, collaborating and exchanging ideas to continuously improve my teaching strategies. I believe that tutoring is not just a job; it is a calling. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the task of helping students unlock their potential and discover the joy of learning. I am committed to providing each student with the support, guidance, and encouragement they need to succeed in their academic pursuits and beyond.

I am a certified Middle School Math Teacher with three years of classroom and tutoring experience, and a Korean and Japanese language instructor with over 15 years of teaching experience. I hold four Bachelor's degrees earned through dual-degree programs at two universities, with academic backgrounds in Korean, Japanese, Education, and Business, as well as an MBA and a TKSOL certification. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear and manageable steps in both math and language learning, tailoring instruction to meet each student's individual needs.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in History from Princeton University and a Master's in Music from Yale University, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects, with particular specialization in history, academic writing, and politics. My teaching philosophy centers on breaking down difficult concepts into more accessible and digestible forms of knowledge. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, utilizing creative methods to enhance understanding and retention. My dedication to helping students succeed is reflected in their improved confidence and performance. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring different cultures through music and language, which enriches my teaching and connects me with my students on a personal level.

I am an undergraduate student at University of Alberta. Japanese is my native language and I have been using English for the past 15 years, so I am fluent in both the languages. I have experience in volunteering at a bilingual preschool, as well as working as a professional interpreter.
