Award-Winning Japanese Tutors in Pittsburgh, PA

...a broad range of subjects, I'm especially interested in working with students to improve their writing so that they can communicate complex ideas in a way that is both stylistically and technically proficient. I also enjoy teaching trumpet to aspiring musicians. I graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in anthropology and global health, and have worked in both the not-for-profit and for-profit worlds in New York and throughout East Africa. In my spare time,...

...Japanese in college I decided to make it my academic focus. I continued to learn as much about language as I could and studied Italian, Korean, Serbo-Croatian, and Classical Japanese along the way. I turned my attention back to Latin at the end of college and studied it in a whole new light. My mission is not to simply teach languages, but show students how fulfilling and rewarding it is to create a connection and...

Konnichiwa! My name is Atsuya Yoshida and I am a Japanese language teacher and a language learner. I hold a Master's degree in Second Language Acquisition and a Bachelor's degree in Education. I would like to make learning a language a positive experience and I want my students to enjoy the diverse culture through learning languages.

...with success and ease. My experience and background includes a B.S. in Chemistry, Undergraduate teaching as well as a Masters of Arts in Teaching (Secondary Science Education) and over five years as a Chemistry instructor at an independent college prep high school. I worked as an undergraduate tutor, tutor at a large learning center, and one-on-one private tutoring for many years. I love to adapt my teaching method to fit my student's needs! If you...

...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 students' learning...

...a TA for Physics II: Electricity and 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...

...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 is in literacy education. I have worked with students from as young as Kindergarten through the college level in reading...

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.

...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.... The material should be...

...in Japan, I worked part time and eventually full time at an English Language school. Upon finishing my Master's, I decided to stay in Japan and pursue my career there and found my first job at Japan's largest advertising agency Dentsu. About a year later, I was later recruited to join Dentsu's sister company The Goal which is a fashion advertising agency. I spent about 10 years living in Japan before returning back to 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 rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work. If you're looking for a more creative approach to language, that's what I provide. I have plenty of books and media that I've used myself to further my own studies.... I believe in going with the flow of nature. One must walk before they can run and crawl before they can walk.... I like 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 so they will get the most out of their time with me. After all, the students are why I'm here.

...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 enjoy singing...

...of experience serving as a literacy tutor and community volunteer for the Regional Service Corps AmeriCorps. Through my studies at Heritage University I have received training in GLAD strategies, differentiated instruction, "Love and Logic" classroom management, formative classroom assessment, and inquiry-based science instruction. I completed my student teaching assignment in a 6th grade life science classroom where I based my lessons around the Washington state standards and the FOSS science kit program. I believe that...

...of Macalester College, class of 2008, with BAs in Japanese and linguistics. 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...

...math. I've also worked with elementary and middle school children in Atlanta, specializing in English, Social Studies and Math. My teaching style uses what the students are interested in and goes from there. I try to think of problems and examples that students can relate to and that will benefit them as opposed to outdated and uninteresting examples. I will work as hard as the student, but as such I expect my students to work...
