Japanese Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sun City, FL

Business casual-- Organized teaching without a serious atmosphere. I spent a year studying Japanese in the United States, before moving abroad to Japan and attending a Japanese university. There, though I did not take formal Japanese classes, I took classes taught in Japanese, and spent my days learning and interacting with native speakers. In addition, I self-study using various other resources.

Japan has always been close to my heart. I am a high beginner and can tutor with the basic hiragana, katakana and very basic kanji, as well as a bit of grammar and some vocabulary. I am currently a student at the University of South Florida, seeking a Bachelor's degree in German Studies. I have some background in International Studies, specifically with Latin America and some in the Middle East. Predominately, however, I have done foreign language studies from a young age. I began studying Japanese language, culture and custom at 14 and have a basic understanding of it. I studied German for two years in high school and went on to live as an exchange student in Northeastern Germany for one year during my Junior year. While I was there, I attended a German high school, lived with a local host family and gained near native fluency throughout the course of my time there. I am a native Spani

I focus on the four skills of a language when teaching - reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In addition to tapping into each of these areas when teaching, I also like to include cultural studies, since I am a firm believer that one can only become a master of a language if they have mastered that language's culture, as well. - Reading and Writing: I start teaching by focusing on romaji, which is Japanese spelled out using letters from the Roman alphabet. After you have mastered Japanese pronunciation, I will begin to exposure you to katakana and hiragana, which are the phonetic symbols used to spell out Japanese words. Finally, after having a firm grasp on katakana and hiragana, I will teach you kanji, which are these Chinese characters that are integral parts of writing and reading Japanese. - Listening and Speaking: Since I am a native speaker, the Japanese that you hear

I have taken classes in Japanese speech training in a technical college. After having MA, I taught the subjects as “Speech communication”, “Intercultural communication” and “Communication and manners at hospitality industries” at several universities and nursing colleges in Japan. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan, and a native Japanese speaker. I have relocated from Japan to the United States and I am fluent in both Japanese and English. I specialize in teaching Japanese and intercultural communication. I have been a Japanese language teacher for foreign students since I was studying at a university in Japan. I was a private tutor for foreign students who aimed to enter colleges and universities in Japan for more than 10 years. I also have 7 years of experience working for Japan Airlines as a cabin attendant and went overseas in more than 30 countries, so I have abundant inter

While not fluent in Japanese, I have taken 3 years of high school level courses and am familiar with the expectations thereof. I have passed the kanji kentei through 8th kyuu and passed 9th with a perfect score. I have tutored 1 student privately in Spanish for 2 years, and she went from failing her class to passing both the AP and IB exams with a 5 and a 6, respectively. I have also tutored small groups in Spanish for one semester ranging from high school introductory level to AP level. I have also tutored for one semester of ASL at the college level, and one semester of Japanese at the high school introductory level. I aim for all tutoring to be done in the target language, but I recognize that this is unhelpful for many students. Nevertheless, I will start out only using the target language, but will switch to the students' preferred language upon request.

I love my students, put them first, and put developing rapport with them as a high priority. I maintain eye contact, smile, and speak respectfully. I make lesson plans in advance; however, I allow students some freedom in choosing the order of activities. When questions come up, I try to lead my students to an answer by asking questions in return. I provide regular testing to determine when they have mastered a concept and are ready to move on. I inspire my students to be confident and creative. Then they are motivated to improve academically. Here are some examples of my teaching style, taken from my teaching practicum through my college English Education program. My twelfth-grade honors class gave their teacher rave reviews when I substitute taught a lesson on Macbeth. The text was my guide, and I wanted my students to be guided by the text to new discoveries. Later, I led this class

In high school, I was a member and officer in peer leadership. Our organization organized school events, attended clinics/workshops (brain damage/anti-violence), and tutored younger students. During my years at Ursinus College, I was a double major in International Relations and Child Psychology until my junior year, when I found it too difficult and almost impossible to graduate with both majors. I decided to focus on I.R. in my undergraduate years, planning to later attend graduate school for a master's in elementary education. For the past 6 months, I have been teaching English in South Korea. I have been taught by a variety of teachers in my collegiate as well as high school and elementary years. Some of the most influencing teachers have been those who told me that as a teacher, one can never stop learning. So, when teaching children, I bring my own unique style, but I also fi

As a teenager, I became an Eagle Scout and was a peer mentor (Big Bro./Big Sis.). I am an Earlham College graduate with a BA in Japanese Studies. After graduation I went on a study-abroad program to Japan and taught English to junior high students, and tutored elementary students in Japanese upon returning to the U.S. I was a counselor at a camp for teenage boys with behavior issues where I provided therapeutic action and wrote daily individualized reports. I have assisted in two classrooms and instructed P.E. at a Montessori school. I lead a classroom of lower elementary students (6-9 yo). I have extensive experience tutoring, teaching, and managing individual and groups of children. Each child is unique and learns in different ways. By being an active participant, children are able to 'construct' their education more impressionistically, with the understanding that auditory and visu

Teaching and tutoring, while similar, are actually two distinct practices. While teaching presents a subject to a large group of students, tutoring requires the tutor to work with an individual to determine his or her strengths and weaknesses, and go forward from there. As a tutor, it is extremely important to identify an individual's needs and work together accordingly. I am currently a middle school math teacher in Hollywood Florida. Prior to accepting my current job, I taught English in Japan for two years. My teaching experience, along with a liberal arts education at Emory University, has primed me to be a successful tutor in a variety of different subjects.

I have been to several trainings on teaching methods and how to become the best teacher. Through my own experience, I know that all students are capable of learning, but each has their own unique way of doing so. I like to incoporate visual and hands-on activities and when possible, teach in an informal setting. I like to provide an atmosphere of fun and excitement while teaching a subject. I like to provide as much positive feedback as possible and add humor to my lessons. I find that students respond better if you can make them laugh because a smile goes a long way! I have an extensive background in various areas, such as Science, Technology, and Swimming Instruction. I have always enjoyed teaching and helping those who are struggling in a particular subject. During the past 6 years, I have helped students in their reading skills, vocabulary, elementary math, science and computer techn

I attended the University of Florida where I earned a BS in Mathematics and took a heavy science course load to prepare me for further medical school prerequisites. I have established a solid understanding of the core sciences as well as an exemplary command of mathematics. In addition, I have had multiple experiences aiding foreign students improve English as their second language. I have a passion for the reliability and order of involved in Mathematics. I have found that when broken down into a method that students can understand, math becomes much more manageable. If we interpret the nebulous vernacular of mathematics into simple English, most students will find it to be less difficult.

After graduating cum laude from Yale University with a PhD in Eating, I interned for two years at Dunkin Donuts, fine tuning my skills in eating pastries. I've also spent two summers eating in various food malls, specializing in China One, Chick Fil-A, and Baskin Robins. I have tutored students Overeating, Pizza, and Alka Seltzer. I believe all children can enjoy eating broccoli. I find this works best if the broccoli is smothered with cheese and accompanied on the plate with something fried. I have found that overeating is a very effective way to teach the student dangerous gastric consequences. I demonstrate this by ordering pizza, allowing them to eat as much as they want, and then immediately afterwards giving them free reign to various quarts of ice cream. I know I can make a difference in every students' stomach.
