Tutoring Specialties

EL (English Learners)

Bio

I believe students learn best when instruction is engaging, differentiated, and tailored to their individual strengths and needs. I value creating a supportive environment where meaningful feedback guides growth, encourages confidence, and fosters lifelong learning. I have a background in Applied Mathematics and Linguistics, specializing in the English, Spanish, and Japanese languages. I am committed to guiding each learner’s growth, helping them develop the skills and mindset needed for both immediate achievement and long-term excellence. I strive to build positive, trusting relationships with students by fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every learner feels valued. By creating this foundation, I empower students to take risks, ask questions, and engage confidently in their learning. I enjoy exploring diverse cultures, languages, and creative pursuits such as reading and exercising, and I bring this curiosity into my teaching.

Teacher Specialization

I specialize in tutoring mathematics, English as a second language, and Japanese. I have a bachelor's degree in Asian Studies and a master's degree in Linguistics.
