Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving Stockton, CA

...a year and a half. I became proficient in the Japanese language and fell in love with the language and culture. Upon returning from Japan, I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and took 16 credits of Japanese. I am extremely passionate about teaching, and am able to assess the needs of each individual student. I am a great communicator, listener, and will do anything to help my students succeed! The subject I am most...

...to take feedback constructively. I feel that as a teacher/tutor it is my job to make sure that they are able to utilize my feedback to help them grow and develop as well as learn from their mistakes. If it is one thing we can all learn that is to not continue to make the same mistakes. I also believe in the philosophy that learning should be fun and students should "want" to learn rather...

I am a senior at Kent State with a major in Interpersonal Communications and a minor in Japanese. I love communicating and assisting people and also determined to to help people achieve their goals.

...at home and in school. I lived in Japan for several years and studied Japanese language in the US for over six years. I enjoy playing the guitar, violin and drums. Other hobbies of mine include camping, hiking, training for triathlons, soccer, traditional Japanese martial arts and learning new languages. I'm a very friendly and honest person. Whatever difficulties you might be having with your language studies, we will conquer them together. I bet you'll...

...patience to handle these situations. Teaching is just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming (c++, matlab, LISP/Scheme), Dynamics of Systems, and Mechanics of Systems.

...my calling. In my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions in organic chemistry to pragmatic analysis, is achievable. It's my...

...on. Teaching is one of my way to feel the joy of supporting people. I'll help you master the language and dive into Japanese culture and subculture. Once you start to think in Japanese, you will notice that your way of communication changes. English is good for business, law, and science while Japanese is more about sharing feelings. The waiters in Japan may be reluctant to serve your table, but my students prepare well to...

...a second language in Japan, something I have already done and loved. My tutoring style is to work with my students toward a common goal and to help them learn to the best of their ability. The classes or sessions that I teach tend to be more involved, rather than just a lecture for my students, as I believe --and it has been proven in studies-- that students learn the best in more discussion-based settings.

...writing skills. I tutor reading and writing (at an elementary school and ESL level), and I also teach the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT. I am a native English speaker and have received in A's in all of my college-level writing classes thus far. Every student has different strengths and learning styles, so I always welcome any resources or suggestions that can make our sessions even more effective. Please feel free to contact...

...to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring, the processes to solve a particular dilemma, the steps would become second nature to the student. As I am comfortable with anything from Biology to History, and from Arithmetic to Algebra,...
