Experience Summary
I have helped people with their English-speaking skills off and on and am very skilled in spelling and grammar. I've been learning Japanese for going on three years, as well. I'm aware that it's not a particularly high in-demand language to learn, but I am more than willing to aid in learning it if it is desired. Also, having graduated high school, I have enough knowledge to teach kids about the basics of science, math, and English.
Teaching Style
On the whole, I look for a rather creative approach when it comes to learning and studying. I ask that students be skeptical in all they hear and read, so asking questions as a form of studying will be essential. Just reading a book or looking at flash cards for studying purposes can prove to be tedious and ineffective. And putting what's learned in context is always necessary if the subject calls for any everyday application.
Other Comments
I may have a lack of credentials, but what I lack in certifications, I gain in common sense and logic. These things are especially essential in this society if you hope to succeed. I'm willing to do my best to ensure that the student has learned plenty and comes away from it with a renewed sense of curiosity and wonder about the world.
