Hello! I am a freshman pursuing Bio-engineering at the University of Washington. I am proficient in a multitude of STEM subjects and I love teaching and working with students. Let me help you excel in your academic pursuits!

...after returning to the US, but have discovered not only do my ESOL teaching skills perfectly apply to JP teaching, but it's a ton of fun. I also have extensive experience with special needs students. I was the deputy campus manager for a private, special needs school in Seattle that focused on 1:1 education for high school credit retrieval. My experience working with such a vulnerable group of students deepened my empathy and ignited further...

...graduating from the University of Washington, I majored in Japanese Literature. During my time as a student I also interned at a language school in Japan, studied abroad in Hokkaido, Japan, and volunteered as both an ESL and conversation partner. I have recently been hired on by the government JET Program and will be moving to Japan this summer to teach English. I want to help student achieve both their English and Japanese proficiency goals.

...and Japanese. I am a native Japanese speaker who has attended the Seattle Japanese School for 12 years and can listen, speak, write, and read fluently. Outside of teaching, I love to participate in school clubs, outdoor activities such as hiking, cook (once in a while), and just enjoy every opportunity I get! I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and that with enough practice and confidence building, they can eventually increase...

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...

...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 with fluency and a critical/analytical eye. This...

...that in order to get the most out of it, students should be challenged and take full advantage of all of their educational resources. It's very rewarding to see a students succeed and reach their goals through hard work. I most enjoy teaching life sciences and writing, but I have a diverse background in many areas. In my spare time, I enjoy running, reading novels, baking (and eating) bread, and spending time with friends over...

...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...
