As a Japanese-American who spent most of my childhood in Japan, I have a deep understanding of both the language and culture. With an MBA from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Science from UC Berkeley, I bring a structured yet adaptable approach to tutoring, drawing from my experience teaching Japanese to high school and college students. My teaching style focuses on what matters most to each studentwhether it's conversation, grammar, or cultural nuancesmaking learning both practical and engaging. I visit Japan annually and stay immersed in the latest trends through Japanese streaming content and food culture, which adds a dynamic, real-world perspective to my lessons
