Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Newton, MA

Hi, I'm Lilli. I'm an English Reading and SAT/ACT Tutor based out of Brookline, MA. I also have experience working with elementary-age kids in classroom settings.

...as a tour guide and English language instructor in Rome, Italy. I grew up in Springfield, MA and earned a B.A in Japanese Language and Literature from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. After graduation, because of my continued desire to learn more about foreign education, I traveled independently throughout Europe and Asia. I settled in the metro Boston area thereafter, pursuing a diverse career in the areas of business, education consulting and teaching.

I am an ESOL student at the University of Rochester in the U.S.! I studied in Japan and China before. I am a big fan of learning about different cultures! I like to play the piano and paint when I am free.

...in Neuroscience in the fall at Johns Hopkins. I have been tutoring high school students outside of class in college and involved in STEM academics and research mentorship as well as a translation program from and to English outside of class. I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully. I would be willing to help with any of these subjects, with math, science, and languages...

...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 look forward to contributing to...

...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...

...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 synthesize new information. In Macedonia, for two years, I had the freedom to take calculated and creative risks in the classroom without fear of consequences from colleagues or supervisors, and because of the freedoms I had...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

...you to address your specific needs! I was born in Denver, CO, and grew up in a small ski town called Steamboat Springs. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and moved to New York to study philosophy at Columbia University. After college, I spend two years teaching English in the public school system in Japan before going back to Columbia to complete my pre-med requirements. I enrolled in medical school in...

...a music teacher. I'm super excited to be your ESL, French, Japanese, or Music Theory tutor! I find that the one-on-one environment of tutoring is truly special because of the tutor-student relationship that can develop over time, and the learning and growth that can happen in such a setting. I love interacting with my students and helping them directly, and I love seeing students meet their learning goals. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I...
