...own studies. I studied English, Italian, and Japanese languages and literature, and taught classes in the Humanities and French and Italian departments. Prior to that, I received my B.A. in Comparative Literature from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. While at Clark I also completed undergraduate and graduate-level coursework in Education, which included a great deal of hands-on teaching and tutoring experience outside of the classroom. I worked with elementary, middle and high school students in...

...Japan, first as part of a study program through Green River College at Kogakuin University, and later as an official exchange student at Nagoya University of Foreign Studies, where I worked as a Language Lounge tutor for local students.

I am passionate about learning languages, self...

I have been teaching ESL for three years in Nevada and Korea. I would love to help your students reach their their full potential in any language. I also have experience with reading and writing having volunteered in New York classrooms and helping friends with their troubles.

...and also studied broadly while in university, with coursework in mathematics, cultural studies, economics, and business. The subjects I tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material....

...being pretty drained from squeezing out all my energy to help my friend understand the material. But all was paid off when she finally understood and even scored above average in that test the following week. Even while studying in UW, I took time to shadow local high school teachers and enrolled in programs that gave me hands on experience teaching other students. I wasn't successful all the time, but whether I failed to help...

...has been assisting ESL students with English, and I worked as a junior high school teacher in Japan for two years before returning to the U.S. I've assisted college students with literature comprehension and essay writing, as well as adults and children with everything from business English to the fundamentals of grammar. I have also studied Japanese for twelve years, honing my skills through translation and editing and assisting fellow students however possible. My core...

For four years I taught English in Japan to grades K-9, and what I learned was most important in teaching is to simply have a relationship with the children and be patient. Not everyone learns in the same way or at the same rate, and it's sometimes just an issue of finding a method that clicks. ... My teaching philosophy is to lead the student through the problem, and, as much as possible, to let the...

...well. As a student, I have come to the realization that students don't do well in classes that are strictly lecture based. Students learn in several different ways, and I will adjust myself to those learning styles, whether auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or some combination of the three. I will commit to teaching students that are seeking furthering their minds and intelligence. Generally, I tutor students from grades K-12. The subjects I tutor are as follows:...

...3.99 GPA. I scored a 7 on the IB SL Math, IB HL Biology, and IB HL English exams. I'm currently the Assistant Head Coach and route setter at a local rock climbing gym, as I pursue prerequisites for my graduate program in Mechanical Engineering and prosthetic design. I have a passion for teaching and learning, and think the pursuit of knowledge should be a life long journey. I would love the opportunity to help...

...twelve and I'm very passionate about what I do. I'm knowledgeable in the way social structures and language relate in Japan, and as we go through the study of the language together, you'll get to know some history and culture to further increase your understanding of the context of the Japanese language. I am an avid crafter, linguist, and reader in my spare time: I knit and crochet. I dedicate most of my time to...

...were not being taught to question and think for themselves. Students in Korea were taught to memorize information. They were not taught how to think critically or to ask questions. They were taught to be obedient and to trust what their elders told them. I was shocked because this was against everything that I believed an education should be. I want my students to think outside the box and to think critically. I do not...

...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.

...to play 7 instruments and I produce electronic music. I'm knowledgable in Computer Programming, Math, Music, and Physics. I'm passionate about providing support to those who have stress and anxiety around STEM. I struggled for a long time as a student and I understand just how stressful school can be. Because of this I try to bring as much positivity and encouragement to my tutoring sessions as possible. I believe it's important to acknowledge, forgive...

...and want to share my insights and study skills I've learned over the years. I have extensive tutoring experience as I worked as a Peer Tutor and Conversation Partner at Dartmouth's Academic Skills Center. In addition to my strong mathematics background, I am also very passionate about languages. I'm fluent in three languages (Korean, French and English) and can also speak conversational Spanish and Japanese. Feel free to contact me if you want an enthusiastic,...

...Japanese. After completing undergraduate research at Osaka University before graduating from the University of Washington with lots of time on the Dean's List, I spent 6.5 years working in Japan as an English as a Foreign/Second Language teacher in both public school and private language schools. I also have experience teaching and tutoring Language Arts, Reading Comprehension, and Grammar. To be a teacher is much more than lecturing in a classroom. Effective teachers approach instruction...

...of words. I am interested in what makes a statement good and powerful and invokes feeling and thought. Primarily I studied Japanese at university, but I also studied English, literature, and mathematics, and I consider these studies ancillary to one-another. Japanese, though, is my main interest. It is my playground, the language that tickles me most for some reason. If you are a student of Japanese, I expect you have already felt the frustrations involved...

...in seeing people I teach understand those concepts and love to see the faces of students when they understand a concept they couldn't have until then and the confidence they get from it. I primarily teach primary-school level mathematics 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,...
