...tutoring with Varsity Tutors! I am currently a senior at Old Dominion University majoring in Biology with an interest in Wildlife Biology. However, I have a high interest in languages, as I have been studying Japanese for 10 years, Chinese for 2, and Italian for the past year!

...in Japan as an English teacher for the Japanese government. Now that I am back in the U.S., I am excited to begin working with students and sharing how improving your language and writing skills can lead to world travel.

I work to create a welcoming environment where my students can find...

My students include business people (Microsoft, Boston Scientific, Bosch,...

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!

...was born and raised in Japan. After attending Meiji Gakuin University in Japan, I moved to the United States. I am able to speak, read and write both Japanese and English. I have two young sons, and I have taught them how to speak and write in both English and Japanese--they are bilingual. I am easy going, friendly and very patient.

I operate on a strengths-based, praise-heavy teaching style, and make my students feel like stars (because they are)! I also am trained in mindfulness-based techniques to help children with any anxiety or behavioral issues that get in the way of learning. I have a Master's...

...I have time, I am a huge fan of traveling and skiing. I think traveling is a great way to both discover new places and reflect on where I'm from, and skiing speaks for itself whether in California, Japan, Austria, or Switzerland. Of course, I can't be on the road all the time, so for the 95% of the time that I'm at home I enjoy crossword puzzles, music, watching sports (especially the Lakers and...

...it my academic focus. I continued to learn as much about language as I could and studied Italian, Korean, Serbo-Croatian, and Classical Japanese along the way. I turned my attention back to Latin at the end of college and studied it in a whole new light. My mission is not to simply teach languages, but show students how fulfilling and rewarding it is to create a connection and understanding with other cultures.

...to make sure that the student is truly learning and figuring things out for him or herself with just a small nudge in the right direction. Too often students become reliant on a tutor for the answers, and it is important that the student really learns how to think so that he or she can become a critically thinking, self-sufficient individual in the future. Because students are often being tutored in a subject they find...
