Debbie
College English Tutor • +32 Subjects
Coaching (or in other words, coming alongside people as a tutor) has been a passion of mine for several years. I have coached in many areas of life alongside all ages of students. I have coached in the arenas (no pun intended) of figure skating, life skills, ESL, and Japanese.My experience, particularly with the Japanese language, has come through my interest in the culture and language of Japan. I studied the language, first at a university level, and then I studied in Japan with an International Language School and one-on-one with indigenous teachers. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to successfully communicate with Japanese people who had no ability to speak English.
Ratek
Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects
Japanese is one of many languages that are considered hard to learn, but are you having fun while doing it? In addition to Japanese, I'm also well versed in the realm of math. Math can be another subject where you are afraid to make mistakes; I'm here so we can make those mistakes together and learn from them. Are you in an environment where you can laugh at your mistakes and correct yourself afterwards? If not, then lets continue learning together! Learning should consist of laughs because you'll continue to learn throughout your entire life, so lets make your experience learning Japanese a fun one!

Monika
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +10 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications Public Relations, with a Japanese minor and certificate from Brigham Young University. I lived right outside of Tokyo, Japan for half of my life, spending time getting to know Japanese relatives and learning about the culture. I also lived in Sapporo, Japan as a young adult service missionary and taught English classes to Japanese natives. Upon returning to the U.S. after my service mission, I taught Japanese to young adults preparing to live in Japan as service missionaries. I have always enjoyed sharing with others, the love I have for the Japanese language and culture. I am a lifelong learner and believe there is power in knowledge. When I'm not tutoring, I love reading good books, going on fun dates with my husband, and enjoying the outdoors.
Wataru
AP Music Theory Tutor • +5 Subjects
Hi! It's Wataru. I am originally from Japan and have been living in New York since 2000. I had a career as an industrial newspaper pressman/editor in Tokyo so that I know newspaper level strict grammar and manner of business speech. I watch anime and I can talk about Japanese subculture with you if you like.I have been teaching Japanese language in person and online. I have taught from beginners to JLPT N3 certificate prep students. I've taught American, Canadian, English, Indian, German, Australian, Mexican, and so 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 make them feel at ease and they have fantastic travel in Japan.
Sensairanay
Environmental Science Tutor • +4 Subjects
I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a minor in International Social Justice. Since high school, I have tutored students of all levels in Japanese, reading, and essay writing. During the pandemic, I worked for a private school teaching core subjects and specialized interest topics to students with Autism. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Environmental Science, Japanese, and Math. In my experience, students have more retention in a subject and more fun when learning in a manner that connects to their interests. Education is important for a successful path forward in life. In order to help students achieve their goals, I believe it is important to teach with excitement and passion.
Maria
Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
Hi! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor pursuing a dual degree in psychology and exercise science to study sports psychology! I like to curate my teaching style for each student based on what works best for them. I firmly believe that not everyone has the same learning approach, so I want to ensure that you are passing your classes and attaining new information that you can use in the future. I understand what it's like to struggle in some aspects of school, and I am more than happy to share how I cope with difficult subjects and information. As a high schooler, I have tutored in the past, teaching ages from 4-18 years old. I can tutor a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, but the social sciences, hard sciences, and English are where I excelled the best. I hope to be a graduate student instructor in the future, and tutoring for Varsity Tutors will be an excellent opportunity to prepare! If you want to know more about how to apply to colleges and impress your dream schools best, I am more than happy to guide you! I understand how tough the application process can be these days, so allow me to be a lending hand.
Bailey
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +4 Subjects
I am a current student at Brigham Young University. I am studying to receive my Bachelor of Global Supply Chain Management. Before college, I lived in Japan, tutoring people of all ages in English and would have group conversations (Eikaiwa) with them. I also tutored privately with anyone with the desire to learn. After returning home to America three years ago, I have tutored over 300 young adults ranging between ages 18-25, assisting in their Japanese language learning. With a focus on tutoring languages, I am most passionate about Japanese. Having over four years of experience teaching both English and Japanese, I enjoy and excel in helping all improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. I enjoy being able to meet students of all personalities and helping them meet and overperform their expectations in learning. I belive that anyone can learn new skills which can help all kinds of aspects of their own future. No matter strengths or weaknesses of an individual, I can promise each a personalized learning experience as I believe that adapting to one's learning style is key to accessing the highest potential in gaining new knowledge. When I am not studying or teaching Japanese or English, I enjoy watching football and movies, and also listening to music.
Victoria
AP Japanese Language and Culture Tutor • +2 Subjects
I tutor Japanese language and occasionally Japanese culture along with it. I am a graduate of the University of Mount Union, earning my Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Language and Culture, and a Graduate of Ohio University in Athens with a Master of Arts in Asian Studies. During my third year attending Mount Union (2017), I studied abroad in Nagasaki, Japan, from late March to early August.I have worked teaching 7th to 9th-grade students Japanese for a program in my hometown called Kids in College. During my time working within the program, I asked what the students wanted to learn, and improvised my schedule to their choice of what they would learn. Between 2018 and 2020, I was involved with the Japanese Cultural Hour at Ohio University. This included scheduling events, fundraisers, and planning budgets for the year. During my time working at the Japanese Cultural Hour, an important goal was to introduce Japanese and American students, exchanging cultural and linguistic information, and especially creating long-lasting friendships.I enjoy being able to pass on my knowledge to students who are eager to learn about the language, as well as share my personal experiences and offer advice to those interested in doing study abroad programs in the future.To plan my sessions for teaching or tutoring students, I first test their level of proficiency, then ask what they would like to learn before the end of their teaching or tutoring sessions with me. I employ creative activities to engage my students and employ the use of educational videos for students to be given an understanding of the different aspects of Japanese culture.In my spare time, I love to attend choral performances (if any are occurring), lead the congregation by singing for my local church, drawing and taking nature pictures while walking in nearby parks.
