...my students in the subject they need assistance in. I went to school at NOVA where I majored in Computer Science. I'm currently go to UMGC where I major in Computer Science & East Asian Studies. I believe that there isn't just one style to teach students. I like spending more time to get to know my students to better understand how to help them. I've worked with ESL students and collage students for English...

...am a huge fan of traveling and skiing. I think traveling is a great way to both discover new places and reflect on where I'm from, and skiing speaks for itself whether in California, Japan, Austria, or Switzerland. Of course, I can't be on the road all the time, so for the 95% of the time that I'm at home I enjoy crossword puzzles, music, watching sports (especially the Lakers and the Packers), and finding...

...old elementary school where I taught Spanish to fifth and sixth graders. I truly enjoyed the experience and I hope I can help more people as a Varsity Tutor. I have been studying Spanish and Japanese since middle school and I have studied in Japan as well. I believe that learning another language helps open many possibilities such as being able to meet different kinds of people and work for the government as a translator/interpreter....

I'm a graduate student who studies economics and a little bit of history. I love to teach, and I adapt my tutoring style to each student I work with. I'm mostly easy going and like to check in regularly to make sure you're getting the most out of your sessions. Happy to help with test prep, economics courses, math courses, and more!

...I was young, I have been fascinated by science and the way the world works. My brother and I watched videos on astronomy, wildlife, weather, and much more. At University I chose to continue this passion by majoring in physics. As my family is well aware, I love annoying them with random facts about physical reality, or explaining how a physical phenomenon works. The joy of doing this translated into tutoring others in their studies....

...in Japanese to elementary school kids (1st and 5th grades) at a Japanese language school. I also have experience teaching Japanese to high school students in a summer program in Virginia. After a few years of teaching Japanese, I went back to school to learn more about applied linguistics and teaching. While I was working on my master's degree in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) at the University of Idaho, I taught First-Year...

I use multiple intelligences, multimodality and authentic integrated strategies to make your language learning journey one with ease, proficiency and fluency in four skills and fun!

...use my Japanese with my family and my peers. I also have an intermediate understanding of Korean, and I love helping people understand new concepts in language. I particularly enjoy conversation practice, because I feel the most rewarding part of language learning is being able to use what you learn with others in everyday contexts, which I hope to impart upon my students! When not studying languages or working part-time, I enjoy reading, card games,...

While in college, I was selected to be a Japanese Tutor and it was a great experience for me and those I tutored. I am here to be a resource to help you study Japanese! Japanese can be difficult to learn, but it will become a great asset to you and for your current/future career!

I have experience working with children as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and am quite comfortable designing games, activities, and crafts to enhance their learning. My experience ranges from working with special needs children to tutoring to teaching English.

...as to grow and develop as a teacher myself. I have learned so much about myself and subject areas by tutoring, and that helps me give even more to my students. I believe learning is at it's fullest when it is a collaborative experience. Although there are times when I need to directly provide information as a tutor (and to give students tools for retaining that information), I prefer to guide and question to help...

...and middle school. My bread and butter is phonics. I honed many of my public speaking skills as a past member of the local Japanese-English Toastmasters club, a conference speaker at AdieCon 2021, and many presentations for work, study, and church. My goal as a tutor is to help you enjoy the journey to your final destination by creating measurable goals to get you there. Seeing progress is so rewarding! This journey can get challenging,...

...and junior high students. After this, I spent time working in the Richland and Pasco School Districts as a Japanese coach and substitute teacher. I also spent time with the Columbia Basin College ESL Program, where I was a volunteer ESL tutor. In addition to these classroom roles, I spent time acting as an interpreter for Spanish, Japanese and English lectures on various topics and interpreted for local guides on tours aboard 800-passenger cruise ship...

My name is Kanon. I was born and raised in Japan and lived there for 26 years. Before joining Varsity Tutors, I taught various subjects including Japanese and I discovered that I enjoyed teaching as I get to learn new things from learners as well in each lesson. I am excited to meet anybody who is passionate to either learn the basic-to-advanced level Japanese or who are looking to practice real conversation in Japanese!

...creative writing which helps me explore my passions of writing and science equally. I have years of experience tutoring math and English, but enjoy learning about all subjects and disciplines. I am firm believer that the best way to easiest way to learn something is to learn to enjoy and it, however this can often mean different things for different students. I understand that any one style of teaching is not suited to every student...

...For a year, I travelled to over ten countries, observing their classrooms and educational environments. I completed a MAEdHD (Masters of Education and Human Development) concentrating in International Education and Intercultural Communications. Simultaneously, I earned a certificate from an accredited institute in TEFL/TESOL, teaching ESL to a range of ages from children to adults. After my second degree, I went to work putting theory to practice in classrooms, hands-on research, and educational programs. Students and...

...and am excited to share my expertise with you! My favorite thing about teaching in any subject is when a student has an "aha moment" when they finally understand a difficult piece of material after struggling with it. I know that every student has a different learning style, and I love working with students to find the learning style that works best for them to help them reach their full potential. I welcome students of...

...to positively influence an individual and to contribute to my community. While I enjoy tutoring almost every subject, I am most enthusiastic about English/Writing/Literature. Growing up, I loved to read and write, and it's always wonderful to be able to instill that passion in a student. No matter the subject, I believe that good tutoring should teach a person more than just content; it should also impart lifelong study and learning skills, so that the...
