Fluent Japanese Tutor!

While I was living in Japan, I taught Japanese to non-Japanese speakers in both one-on-one situations and in groups. After arriving in the United States, I have continued to offer one-on-one and group lessons. I can especially relate to those that want to learn Japanese, since I struggled similarly as I learned English. The lessons that I taught ranged from 30 minutes to an hour, according to the preference of my students.
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 alphabe ... read more

My comments on tutoring Japanese : 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.

Japanese is one of my top subjects!

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.
