...I worked for the Japanese Exchange and Teaching Program in Fukushima, Japan. Here, I taught English to elementary and junior high students.

I was born and raised in Japan, and moved from Yokohama to Texas in 2017. I understand how challenging learning another language can be as I myself didn't grow up in an English speaking environment.

...found the right person to help. As an artist, I enjoy using imagery and interaction with students to make sure they stay engaged visually, physically, and mentally. This helps especially with those who have dyslexia or need help retaining attention. I also enjoy creating custom worksheets and stories for each child so they have a more personalized experience.

...fields. I also hope to continue my linguistics and Japanese studies in graduate school in the future. My favorite subject to tutor is linguistics because it is such a relatively new field, and it leaves so many opportunities for learning for both the tutee and the tutor. I believe teaching and tutoring plays a large role in shaping a person's passion for learning, and sometimes just one good experience can change your whole perspective on...

...with a BA in Japanese and Linguistics, I spent time in Korea and Japan. For the majority, 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...
