Varsity Tutors can enroll you in Kansas City Japanese lessons. We can enroll students from Park Hill High School, Rockhurst University, and other area schools in Japanese lessons to help them try to increase their understanding. We can also enroll adults who are trying to improve their language education in Japanese lessons. Students face a new set of challenges when trying to learn a language, and they may not receive all of the guidance they need in a typical classroom. Additional resources such as online classes and private instruction can help you reach for your language learning goals.
Since the mid-20th century, no nation other than Japan has used Japanese as a first or a second language. However, there are more than 127 million people that speak Japanese. Knowing Japanese can be beneficial to your professional career, as companies that communicate and work with Japan look for employees who are able to communicate with their foreign colleagues. It can also be helpful to know Japanese if you ever plan to travel to Japan for a vacation. You will be able to better navigate the country and will be able to connect with the Japanese culture on a deeper level.
What Concepts Can Students Learn from Kansas City Japanese Lessons?
Some key concepts that students can learn from Japanese lessons are sentence structure, nouns, verbs, pronunciation, common phrases, and essential vocabulary. When it comes to sentence structure, the only strict rule of word order in Japanese is that verbs must be placed at the ends of sentences, unlike many Indo-European languages. English has a subject-verb-object word order. Japanese has a subject-object-verb word order. For example, the English sentence "I drink coffee" in Japanese would have the word order "I coffee drink." Japanese nouns are not gendered, numbered, and don't have any article aspect.
All of these concepts can be learned from using Japanese lessons. We can get you enrolled in two types of lessons: private instruction and classes. You can choose from online or in-person private instruction. You may decide that you could benefit from using both lesson types to help you reach for your goals. Each type of lesson offers you the opportunity to learn from an expert Japanese speaker.
How Can Kansas City Japanese Lessons Help Me Improve My Understanding?
Whether you choose to enroll in one, or both, of the lesson types, you can benefit from learning with additional resources. Enrolling in a class provides you the ability to interact with your instructor and other students in a virtual classroom setting. When you can see, hear, and speak to your classmates and professional instructor, you have the opportunity to ask questions and collaborate in a supportive group environment. You may also improve your retention of information by helping your classmates learn concepts. One-on-one sessions with your instructor can be scheduled if you are finding certain concepts more challenging.
A Kansas City Japanese tutor can provide you with undivided attention from an experienced Japanese instructor either online or in-person. Private instruction allows for every session to be catered to your individual needs and learning style. Your instructor can learn what style you prefer to use when learning and use the style you like in each section to help you try to improve your understanding. They can also help you identify your areas of opportunity so that you can focus on trying to improve your performance in those areas.
Private instruction and classes provide you the time and environment to focus on learning Japanese. You need to practice your skills on a regular basis in order to understand and learn more quickly. By interacting with a Kansas City Japanese tutor or an instructor in a class, you can practice your skills with the feedback and help of a qualified professional.

With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes...

...order to get the most out of it, students should be challenged and take full advantage of all of their educational resources. It's very rewarding to see a students succeed and reach their goals through hard work. I most enjoy teaching life sciences and writing, but I have a diverse background in many areas. In my spare time, I enjoy running, reading novels, baking (and eating) bread, and spending time with friends over coffee.... I believe teachers should be mentors and advisers rather than lecturers. The best way to learn is to discover, and so teachers should provide resources and guide students in the right direction without actually handing them the answers to difficult problems.

Briana: Kansas City Japanese lesson instructor
...4th-12th in math, English, reading skills, study skills, and English and reading ACT prep. My specialty in math is in helping students who struggle with the abstract nature of math to understand why the steps are the way they are, and in helping to improve the student's fluency with math vernacular. Because I come from a verbal background, I work especially well with students who excel at verbal subjects, but struggle at math.... My philosophy for teaching largely lies in giving children the tools they need to feel in control of their education. Rather than approaching education as a series of directions to be followed, I work to see that my students understand why they are doing what they are doing, and how one lesson connects with the next to build their overall education. Students who feel in control of their learning are free to pursue their educational interests both inside and outside of school.
