Hey! My name is Richard! I'm new to tutoring but I'm hoping to learn with the people I meet and work together to get the best result possible. I've spent the past couple of years living in Japan, speaking primarily Japanese, and teaching English as well as variety of other things. Teaching is fun because every person is a new challenge. How can I relay what I know to them in the most effective way? How can I get them to progress? What can I do to improve myself to help the people I teach to...
Hey! My name is Richard! I'm new to tutoring but I'm hoping to learn with the people I meet and work together to get the best result possible. I've spent the past couple of years living in Japan, speaking primarily Japanese, and teaching English as well as variety of other things. Teaching is fun because every person is a new challenge. How can I relay what I know to them in the most effective way? How can I get them to progress? What can I do to improve myself to help the people I teach to be happier and see the results they want to see?
Plus while I help others grow and grow myself I'm bound to become friends with some of the people I teach. That's the best part. The friendships that are made along the way. Even if me and that person don't necessarily become friends the experience at least becomes a good memory.
I was a Japanese Honors student throughout high school and took AP my senior year. Within a year of graduation I moved to Japan for a period of 2 years teaching in primarily Japanese. Almost all associations during those 2 years were done in Japanese.
What makes me different from other Japanese tutors is that not only have I formally studied but applied and continued my Japanese study for 2 calendar years in Japan with very limited opportunities to use English. I turn 21 this year so middle school and high school aren't too long ago for me. If you want a logical and understandable break down of Japanese I can do that. I also will be able to provide opportunities to speak with native Japanese speakers.
