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!

Kainoa

Japanese Tutor • +1 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County pursuing a BA in Asian Studies. I'm an aspiring world language educator, passionate about global citizenship and intercultural exchange. On my journey to fluency in Japanese, I've had the pleasure of assistant teaching a college-level intermediate Japanese class, tutoring high school students of mixed levels, preparing study guides, quizzes and tests, as well as teaching a few lessons. I've also had the unforgettable opportunity to travel to Japan twice on language exchange, where I stayed with a host family and got to use my Japanese with my family and my peers. I also have an intermediate understanding of Korean, and I love helping people understand new concepts in language. I particularly enjoy conversation practice, because I feel the most rewarding part of language learning is being able to use what you learn with others in everyday contexts, which I hope to impart upon my students! When not studying languages or working part-time, I enjoy reading, card games, dance, theatre, and playing viola and ukulele.

Lewis

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

As a tutor and teacher, it is always my goal to present material as clearly as possible and, whenever possible, have students think out for themselves what the problem at hand is and what possible solutions are. I have worked with a wide variety of students including children and adults, native and nonnative speakers, with various goals for improving their English language abilities, foreign language, math skills and other challenges. I hope students find me approachable and that I will work hard to help them get through any obstacles in the topic they choose to have me teach or tutor them. I certainly can put myself in the place of others, as I have in the past relied on tutors to get me through some tough topics.As for other interests outside tutoring, I am very interested in languages and linguistics, as I currently teach graduate and undergraduate linguistics at Northeastern Illinois University. Outside my day job, I run and bike, and I'm interested in astronomy, nature, history and Shakespeare!

Mary

Academic Coaching Tutor • +56 Subjects

I currently work for an afterschool enrichment program (Best Brains) tutoring elementary English and math, and I have 4+ years of experience as a private ESL tutor for both children and adults. I am working toward my Masters of Science in Secondary English Education and ESL at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Literature and Japanese, and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Arts in Japanese Language and Literature. I began tutoring while I was in high school, assisting with algebra homework. In college, I volunteered as a kindergarten reading assistant through a program called Start Making a Reader Today. I later volunteered while in graduate school at a local high school tutoring students in beginner Japanese. I have also been employed by the University of Wisconsin as a Teaching Assistant, and taught in Religious Studies and East Asian Studies. In all cases, it has been a pleasure watching students progress in their academics and to see them grow as young scholars. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because of the feeling of connection that language can bring. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the smiling face of someone the moment that they finally "get" something they've been struggling with and watching their confidence boost. In my free time, I host a small book club, pen pal with friends around the world, and try my hand at new recipes.

Shelby

Algebra Tutor • +53 Subjects

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology and English. Since then I have worked in various capacities in education, both on the curriculum development side and in formal classroom teaching. I worked as a lab instructor for Genetics and Evolution courses in Duke University's Department of Biology, and developed and taught science programs for the Duke University Center for Science Education. I also spent a year and a half teaching English conversation and writing to high school students in Japan. I have a passion for science education and am currently working to understand and improve the way science is taught in American schools. I place a high value on education and believe that in 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.

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am here to help others on their path to success in whatever areas they feel they are struggling in. If there is something I can do to help you out, you can bet that I'll give 110%!I have the most experience in teaching/tutoring English as a second language and Japanese, though I have tutored in English and writing as well.Right after graduating high school, I lived in Japan for two years as a volunteer, teaching English to the communities I lived in. I taught people anywhere from 5 years old to 65 years old, and I loved every minute of it! I had a great time with all of my students, and the pace at which their English ability increased was mind-boggling. I also studied the Japanese language while living there, gaining fluency in both text-book Japanese as well as day-to-day conversational Japanese.After returning from Japan, I had the opportunity to move to China for the remainder of the year and once again teach English as a volunteer. I taught almost exclusively 1st and 2nd graders, and it was such a stinking blast! I prefer to do full immersion when teaching English, and that has produced incredible results.In high school, my favorite subjects (besides my art classes, of course) were by far my English classes. Out of all of the core classes, English and Writing classes were always the ones I excelled most in. I didn't always enjoy reading and writing, though, so if you're not sure you like these subjects, or think you aren't very good at them, I totally understand! I've been there too, and I hope that I can help change your mind!

Sai-ya

College English Tutor • +23 Subjects

I love children and children tend to love me. I have years of experience working with kids of all ages as a teacher, a social worker, and a psychotherapist. I understand the motivational and self-confidence issues that interrupt many children's learning, and work to build a solid, trusting relationship with my students so they can feel comfortable acknowledging their mistakes and the places where they need extra attention without feeling ashamed. 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 degree from the University of Southern California (USC), where I graduated as a Dean's Scholar with a 3.98 GPA. Before that, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of California in Irvine. I recently returned from 8 months of teaching English and Math to elementary-school students in Ecuador, and currently work in K-3 classrooms as a literacy specialist at a public elementary school in Santa Rosa. I teach children to read and write, which is such an essential skill!When I'm not teaching kids or traversing the globe, you can find me in a yoga class, reading a fantastic novel under a big tree, tending to my vegetable garden, or having a latte with my grandma.
