Award-Winning Japanese Tutors serving White Plains, NY

...Education. I have worked with younger people since my first volunteer work at a public school on the south side of the Chicago in the early 90s. I have been a teacher in public schools for the last 10 years, but was a teacher both in Japan and in New York City before I began my current position. Generally my expertise lies in mathematics but I am confident in my abilities in helping students complete...

I've been tutoring since I was a freshman in high school, and I'm looking forward to continuing with Varsity Tutors. I believe learning can be fun, and never a chore!

...checking out my personal statement. My name is Masaya and I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate. I majored in Political Science and International Relations in college and graduate school. Besides English, I also speak fluent Japanese and Chinese. Over the past a few years, I have taught Mandarin to all ages, and Japanese to college students. I also served as a Teaching Assistant at my university. I love teaching and spreading knowledge! Through Varsity Tutors, I...

I am a rising third-year student at Trinity College Dublin, and I am working towards a degree in English Literature. I have a lot of practical test-taking and study skills to offer, particularly in high school and middle school academics and standardized testing! I also consider myself a well-rounded student, so though my passion lies in English and writing, I love to teach math, science, and history subjects as well!

...of which I have an extensive college education in. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. I believe learning another language is difficult enough on its own, so I aim to bridge the gaps in culture, native pronunciation, and enjoyment, through a relaxed, organized, patient, and encouraging approach. Consistency is key when it comes to any type of learning, therefore I aim to ensure that all students receive a punctual and dependable tutor...

...sure that every student that I work with leaves with an understanding of the content that I teach them. I do not only have my students strive for excellence, but I want them to find what they love about learning overall. Especially, in a subject they are struggling with. It is important when you are teaching a child that we get them invested in their own education. It is not enough for a teacher to...

...teach via Skype to help busy people learn Japanese. I have been teaching Japanese for 25 years, here and abroad. As a professional teacher, I've taught beginning to advanced students, privately, and at universities such as Harvard, The Ohio State University, Indiana University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Hawaii. My students include business people (Microsoft, Boston Scientific, Bosch, IBM), State Department candidates, military officers, spouses, college students and younger children. While my...

...multilingual and multicultural background, in my considered opinion, is the little helpmate for building up my experiences above all things. Before taking graduate courses in teaching at New York University, I have gradually found my dual interests in business and education, which could've appeared to stand opposed to each other. I never overlooked my obsession of teaching languages in different areas and settings. I started tutoring several students Mandarin Chinese since high school, and until...

...involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring,...

...United States or Japan. From September 2014 through July 2015, I worked as a tutoring specialist for a company. I tutored students ranging in age from 13 to 50, in various subjects such as calculus and chemistry. While I enjoy tutoring students in all of the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves). Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate...

...Bachelor of Business Administration in Operations Management, with a minor in Spanish. Since graduating, I've tutored people of all ages, with varying levels of proficiency (i.e. beginners, etc.) In addition to grammar and literature, I've helped my students improve their conversational Japanese in everyday situations. My lessons also incorporate elements of Japanese culture, especially pop culture and anime/manga, and history. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano, painting, traveling and learning different cultures and...

...New York. Japanese government funded me in 2017 to make a Japanese textbook, "Japanese in 30 Weeks Romaji Course". With this textbook I will show you the most powerful tool to reproduce inflections of other 10,000 Japanese verbs automatically and correctly. It is the standard Japanese, as spoken in Tokyo, which is understood by anybody in Japan. This is our exclusive and quickest method and I am very excited to introduce you the methods!

...NYU in TESOL and Foreign Language Education, and I've put that into practice during my teaching: elementary ESL and high school Japanese and English/ESL. I've also taught English in elementary schools in Japan, and worked online and in person with kids and adults in ESL and Japanese. I have experience tutoring for standardized tests as well. I believe that we can work together to construct knowledge instead of just lecturing at you while you memorize...

...I love learning and want to show others the joys of learning too. I think one of the greatest things as a tutor is seeing the face of someone you are tutoring when they have a "eureka" moment. Although most of my tutoring experience has been in biology, I love reading and so am happy to tutor in verbal reasoning or any similar subject. I look forward to working with all of you!

...and corporate clients. I conduct both one-on-one and group tutoring lessons focusing on reading, writing, and speaking, with a particular focus on business vocabulary for my corporate clients. I also impart knowledge on Chinese and Japanese cultural norms and practices as an integral part of my lessons. I am fascinated by everything I have learned of Chinese and Japanese language and culture and I would love the opportunity to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with...

...a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material. In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being an avid Redditor. My dream in life is to travel...

...in the past seven years. In high school, I tutored elementary and middle school students in math and general homework help. As a general chemistry tutor at Cornell University, I guided students through problem sets and exam preparation. To effectively do so, I integrated the knowledge and skills that I had gained through my own experience as a student in general chemistry as well as in other disciplines. While a teaching assistant for a nutrition...

I am very versatile and have a background of teaching students from various backgrounds and on many different subjects. I have taught English abroad to five year old students, and have also worked with college students as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Hawaii while in graduate school. I am passionate about helping people grow and learn and looking forward to working with you!

I want to tutor you! As a New Yorker and an aspiring English teacher, I want to pay close attention to your idiosyncratic means of learning to tailor an approach that is right for you. The teacher's organization is the key to both the student and teacher's success.

...as a classroom teacher, I now tutor SAT Critical Reading, Writing, Literacy, History, and Japanese. Writing is my favorite subject to tutor. I enjoy the fact that even the most dense research assignment asks the writer to take a stand. Very few subjects ask for a student's opinion, but writing asks for just that. I like guiding students to figuring out the right answer, instead of telling them. Working with students and prompting them to...
