Award-Winning Japanese Tutors in Phoenix, AZ

...graphics and stop motion animation. When it comes to education, I have experience tutoring young children and teenagers in the past through programs such as the Upward Bound Trio. I believe tutoring allows students to explore the possibilities of a particular subject and when it comes to self-expression and art-making, tutoring can also help young artists discover which artistic path they wish to explore. I am looking forward to helping others pursue their passions and...

...Teach for America's core beliefs: that all students should have the opportunity to receive an excellent education; that every student is capable of succeeding; and that family income should not determine a student's academic success. After my two-year commitment to the corps ended, I moved to Japan and taught English through Phoenix Sister Cities. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with students ranging from preschool to adult. I enjoyed traveling to many...

...an intensive language and emersion program. During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies...

...a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Calculus There are three things I love about tutoring. First, tutoring allows me to solidify my mastery on the material I teach, as I believe one can learn more by explaining concepts to other people. This leads to the...

...listen to the problems they have and work with them specifically with the concepts that they need help with in order work them through it. I wholeheartedly believe that the Japanese language is a rewarding language to study and that it can be much easier and more fun than many people initially think. Outside of this field of study, in my spare time I like to play video games and read up on interesting subjects...

...Arts in Creative Writing and French and a minor in Art History. I have been tutoring/teaching for almost ten years. I have worked with people of all ages, from elementary school students to retirees, in different parts of the world. I am also a writer, translator, and ESL/ELL teacher. I love learning and am currently studying my fifth language. Most of all, I love sharing the excitement of learning with fellow learners!

...worries on that score. I want to see students pursue what makes them happy, and if what makes them happy happens to align with the subjects I adore, I think we'll get along grand. Slight personal details about me, I'm what one might call a "mystery geek," and I consider myself to be an amateur Sherlockian. I watch anime -- besides simply enjoying the medium, it makes for surprisingly good Japanese listening pracitce -- play...

...Magnetism at MIT, and I tutored in math and science in high school. I scored a perfect score on the SAT Math section twice, and have taken 11 AP tests with an average score of 4.7. I believe the best way to learn math is through challenging problems, and gaining confidence in yourself when you find that you understand those problems. I am passionate about learning, and I hope I can share that passion with...

...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...

...enjoy tutoring students in all of the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves). Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students. For me, hearing "Oh, that makes...

...section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy. I derive happiness from seeing others grow and contributing to the lifelong process of education, so I find tutoring to be an appropriate outlet for this passion. In my free...

...in certain ways. However, no one person learns the same way as anyone else. We can make general methods to teach many students a bit, but to really learn something, the learning process has to become more personal. I always try to take a preliminary period with my students why they want to learn or to improve in something. By understanding what they want from tutoring, I can tailor my lessons to how they learn...

...cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am open and flexible to hearing feedback from the students and their parents in the interest of maximizing student learning. While my background is in secondary science education, my passion...

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.

...to have students think more critically about their own identity, the identities of others, social, cultural, and global issues rather than merely as a subject to read, write, and 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...

I have loved science ever since I was a kid and watched The Magic School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in...

...While languages and language itself are my first love, I enjoy working in a variety of other subjects as well. As a student and a teacher, I prefer working from the fundamentals to memorizing facts; I feel that understanding how and why something works is a more interesting and effective method, and helps nurture critical thinking, an essential life skill. I look forward to helping students work towards reaching their full potential. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and moved to New York to study philosophy at Columbia University.
