I'm graduating next year with my master's degree in addiction counseling. I have obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and have experience tutoring English (ESL) in an Asian country (Japan) where Japanese children want to learn English. I enjoyed teaching or tutoring children who want to learn and I like to help them in order to succeed. I believed that education is very important for everyone to be successful.

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...

I'm interested in tutoring students in mathematics and/or computer science, as I enjoy both subjects thoroughly, and think that a good understanding of those subjects is useful to anyone, no matter their interests.

...States, where I completed a Master's Degree in Psychology. This transformative experience broadened my understanding of immigration issues, multicultural competencies, and bilingualism. Driven by my passion for languages and my journey as a bilingual immigrant, I pursued training in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and PLE (Portuguese for Foreigners). Through my work, I provide students with the tools to comprehend their own learning processes and language comprehension. I empower them to construct new...

...My teaching philosophy centers on a communicative approach, allowing students to express themselves freely while adapting lessons to their individual needs. I have also taught at a high school, where I guided students through English grammar, composition, and creative writing, and improved average test scores over five consecutive years while doing it! I'm also a children's book author and translator for TV and print. I'm excited to take on new learners and help them find...

...and are definitely necessary for my success in college. While my degrees are related to science and language, I also love to write which makes editing essays enjoyable for me. Helping students in reading and writing is something I believe I can excel at, along with more basic math concepts.

For instance, I love playing video games, Dungeons and Dragons and board games with my friends. I also play tennis and soccer regularly and played soccer with an intramural team last year. Otherwise, I love to read for fun, in addition to the occasional academic article on American or...

...tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with...

...into a writing tutor, allowing me to coach my students into becoming stronger writers. In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics.

I have worked with over 500 students in preparing...

...spent two semesters in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in an intensive language and emersion program. During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students...

I tutor multiple subjects, but I enjoy tutoring Algebra and Japanese the most. I believe that everybody should be able to get the education that they deserve and the attention and help in order for them to achieve that. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the Guitar, Photography, and playing Badminton.

...creative initiative that I developed during my studies. Having learned through past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style. I aim to make the learning experience feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity for self-improvement. Outside of tutoring, I indulge my addiction to crossword puzzles and enjoy foreign language studies and practicing guitar in my spare...
