Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Roseville, CA

...BassiriRad and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering and Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University. I enjoy tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, 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...

...me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula...

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.

...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 to...

...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 a tutor is to understand...

...each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural world. My goal is for you to develop a comfortable rhythm using unfamiliar vocabulary and the ideas behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test day! My method involves students in developing their own ways of learning and exploring what makes sense to them. We...

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...

...taken the time to nurture my passion for the Japanese language and culture. During college, I spent two semesters in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in 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...

...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 it is an educator's most important task to help children gain a love for learning. If learning is fun, hands-on, and informative, it will be more likely that students will take an active role in their education and strive to reach further. As Rudolf Dreikurs said, “The...

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors degree at Indiana University Bloomington, majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Psychology and Japanese. I tutor multiple subjects, but I enjoy tutoring Algebra and Japanese the most. I believe that everybody should be able to get the education that they deserve and the attention and help in order for them to achieve that. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the Guitar, Photography, and playing Badminton.

...As I progressed through undergrad and graduate school, I expanded my tutoring repertoire to include French and Japanese, two languages I have studied extensively, while obtaining my teaching credential in Music. After graduate school, I headed to Japan to live and teach ESL for two years, before heading back to Silicon Valley to purse a career as a music teacher. I'm super excited to be your ESL, French, Japanese, or Music Theory tutor! I find...

...also have extensive experience working one-to-one with students from my position as a Learning Center Writing Consultant where I assisted students in academic writing. By far one of the most rewarding milestones of tutoring is the moment you witness the student satisfied with the achievements you have helped them accomplish. Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic success and achievement. I enjoy tutoring in ESL, Chinese,...

...On campus, I tutor other students, oversee Japanese conversation circles, and participate in extracurricular translation. This past summer, I taught English at a high school in Hokkaido and once again lived with a host family. Language allows us to connect with people in new ways! That's why I teach Japanese with a focus on connection with other people in class conversations, groups, and exercises that emphasize speaking in addition to the passive skills necessary for...

...17 years. As a professional musician, I have played in several Broadway musicals such as Miss Saigon, West Side Story, and Cinderella. I'm excited to share my knowledge about music whether if you are just learning how to read music or trying to be better. I specialize in percussion instruments if you want to learn how to play the drums! I'm also happy to work on your Japanese study. I can practice conversation or writing/...

As a person who learned a second language, I can relate to many difficulties that students experience. I am happy to help and share my experience. I am a native Japanese and have experience working in Japan. I have always been enjoying teaching both one-on-one tutoring and groups. Looking forward to seeing you.

...figure out the question they have, methods to solve the question/problem, and answer(s) to the question. My function as a teacher is not to provide the answer, but to help students learn by themselves, so that they can foster their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or/and to schedule a lesson. If you have specific areas you want to cover or resources you could provide, please let...

...with no real student engagement, so I seek to change that. I am a graduate of the University of Washington with degrees in Japanese History and Korean Language and Linguistics, with minors in Japanese language as well as Linguistics. I work as an editor and localizer in my spare time and am also an avid gardener and needleworker. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my favorites are Japanese and English. Communication is of utmost...

...have proven my effectiveness! I also have experience helping with presentations, design, and public speaking. I can also help you learn Japanese! I've been taking Japanese for two years now and will be studying abroad at Waseda University in Tokyo, so I'm prepared to help with any beginner-intermediate level topics. My integrated knowledge of linguistics in English and Japanese helps me make learning as simple and intuitive as possible. I hope we can work together...

...am also fluent (reading/listening/writing) in Cantonese and mandarin Chinese because of my upbringing. Half of my childhood education was received in Hong Kong and the other half was in Australia. Because of my multicultural upbringing, I have a strong passion in helping students to learn a foreign language and culture. I understand the challenges that may come with being in a new country or just simply trying to learn a new language! Let me help...

...teach English as a volunteer. I taught almost exclusively 1st and 2nd graders, and it was such a stinking blast! I prefer to do full immersion when teaching English, and that has produced incredible results. In high school, my favorite subjects (besides my art classes, of course) were by far my English classes. Out of all of the core classes, English and Writing classes were always the ones I excelled most in. I didn't always...
