...language and culture. While I work as a freelance Japanese translator and have worked as a governmental liason between Japan and the US in the past, I still try to improve my Japanese on a daily basis today.

...writing tutor, allowing me to coach my students into becoming stronger writers. In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics.

My specialty in math is in helping students who struggle with the abstract nature of math to understand why the steps are the way...

...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.

...is my goal to teach English as a means to have students think more critically about their own identity, the identities of others, social, cultural, and global issues rather than merely as a subject to read, write, and memorize. My teaching philosophy is centered on encouraging students to use all of their senses in the learning process. I know from professional and personal experiences that experiential learning is critical in order for students to process, retain,...

...subjects such as calculus and chemistry. While I enjoy tutoring students in all of the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves). Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to...

...college.I serve as the editor of the opinion section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy.

I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs. Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather...

I recently moved to D.C. after graduating from Brown University with a B.S. in Chemical Biology. While in college, I had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant for both introductory and upper-level biochemistry courses, which I truly enjoyed.

I look forward to hearing from and meeting you!

...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 helping students work...

...that they can ace their exams! Many students doubt themselves when they reach an obstacle in their learning journey, and I believe it is important to understand that it is only temporary.

I have previous experience tutoring middle and highschool students, covering...

...memorize it. I hold both a BS and MS in Materials Science and work full time as an engineer, where I use the same math and science concepts I teach every day. Over the years, I've worked with students from 5th grade through college and beyond in mostly STEM focused areas, with emphasis on math, physics, and chemistry. I've also helped students in areas like financial accounting and real estate management. While most of my...

...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 music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc....

First, I would have the student tell me what they want to learn and why they wish to learn it....

...really learned to enjoy and appreciate the small class sizes our school offered (from 1 to 6 students). I think one-on-one lessons are very beneficial for students, and I would love to continue teaching here. Before leaving for Japan, I enjoyed working as a susbitute for Katy ISD. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in history, and I also feel very comfortable teaching grammar, reading, writing, editing, and Japanese....

...language and culture nurtured from a young age. When I moved to Japan in 2010, I also got caught up in some of the more modern aspects of Japanese culture that inspire many learners on their path, including modern and retro video games, anime and manga.
