I have a great passion for helping students, young or adult, succeed in their pursuits to learn. Struggling during school has given me a unique perspective on how to tackle and guide those who may have similar road blocks and might not have found the right person to help. As an artist, I enjoy using imagery and interaction with students to make sure they stay engaged visually, physically, and mentally. This helps especially with those who have dyslexia or need help retaining attention. I also enjoy creating custom worksheets and stories for each child so they have a more personalized experience. Having Japanese as my second language allows me to better understand how to break a language down so it is easier to understand and learn. My main goal after every tutoring session is for any student I encounter to leave with more confidence in themselves to succeed even when I'm not present. If any of my students no longer need me and can manage on their own, I will consider my job complete.
