Award-Winning Japanese Tutors in Seattle, WA

...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 want my students to believe everything I tell them just because I am the teacher. I don't want my students to just accept things...

...Japanese for twelve years, honing my skills through translation and editing and assisting fellow students however possible. My core belief is that education should be fun. Learning from textbooks and standard memorization techniques can be difficult, especially when the material is presented in a way that is not particularly interesting or captivating. Flashcards and textbooks are fantastic learning tools, but in my experience, supplementing them with games, songs, television shows, or anything else of interest...

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 their understanding and feel confident in what they are doing.

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 student discover the answer on their own.

...for some reason. If you are a student of Japanese, I expect you have already felt the frustrations involved in learning it. There are so many traps and deceptions, but I suspect you also feel the allure. I want to tell you that it is alright, and that together we can build in you the skills to jump over the pitfalls or pull yourself up when you find the bottom of one. For ESL learners,...

...crafter, linguist, and reader in my spare time: I knit and crochet. I dedicate most of my time to Japanese, but I've dabbled as well in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Irish Gaelic. I read anything from classic novels to soup cans. I think learning in a subject is never complete, especially when it comes to learning a foreign language. As a student myself, I'm very in tune with the struggles of native English speakers in...

...hands-on teaching and tutoring experience outside of the classroom. I worked with elementary, middle and high school students in after-school programs focused on improving their English language skills as well as their study skills. I taught SAT prep with a non-profit organization for two years, planning and teaching lessons to small groups of students on a weekly basis to help them master the skills needed to achieve high scores on the Verbal and Analytical Writing...

...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.

...their minds and intelligence. Generally, I tutor students from grades K-12. The subjects I tutor are as follows: elementary math, middle school math, pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, physiology, science, Japanese, piano, and music theory. I really enjoy teaching piano and music theory because it just so happens to be my passion. I learned how to play the piano when I was six and have yet to stop. Apart from academia, I attempt to go...

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!

Hi there, I'm a recent graduate in Electrical Engineering with a strong background in math and computer science. I have a passion for teaching and am excited to help you along on your way to success.

...me hands on experience teaching other students. I wasn't successful all the time, but whether I failed to help or not, I saw myself always worrying for the students and wanted to come up with more ways to help students improve and understand. As of now, I have switched gears and am looking for ways to combine my love for drawing and biology in the context of education where I try to create educational graphics...

...and have recently chosen to return back to the United States. To be a teacher is much more than lecturing in a classroom. Effective teachers approach instruction like coaches do. They set clear expectations. They set clear goals that connect to student's experiences so that their learning has clear connections to student lives. They provide their students with the tools and opportunities they need to identify their learning gaps and overcome them. They foster a...

...examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material. I view learning as equipping myself with different tools to better understand the world. With this attitude, studying became truly exciting for me, and making education more accessible and fueling curiosity have become my passions. In my free time, I like to indulge in my hobbies: reading, cooking, laughing with my friends, adventuring in YouTube, and...

With regards to learning, I believe there are 3 keys: practice, practice and more practice! In other words, my message to you is be not afraid. Any seemingly complex knowledge can be learned with sufficient understanding and review. I am here to guide you every step of the way. When I am...

...passionate about English, History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find...

I previously tutored math and Japanese in high school and...
