I’m an experienced tutor with over five years of teaching experience across a range of subjects including math, computer science, Japanese, Kubernetes, psychology, and homeschool support. I have real-world experience working with students of various ages, backgrounds, and learning styles. I’ve lived in Japan for ten years, studied Japanese at the college level, and am fluent in both English and Japanese; I’m also KCNA and CKA certified in Kubernetes and have hands-on experience building and managing real clusters. My background includes one-on-one tutoring, volunteer teaching, and structured lessons designed to help students understand material deeply rather than just memorize procedures.

In my tutoring practice, I focus on creating a supportive, structured environment tailored to each student’s goals. I emphasize clear explanations, practical examples, and patient guidance, whether helping students with foundational concepts in elementary math or advanced technical skills like Kubernetes. I’ve worked with homeschool learners, neurodiverse students, and international students, adapting my methods to each individual’s needs and pace. My goal in every session is to build confidence, encourage curiosity, and help students achieve measurable progress toward their academic or professional goals.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have over five years of experience teaching Algebra 1 to students at different skill levels. I focus on helping students understand core concepts such as variables, equations, inequalities, and graphing rather than memorizing steps. My lessons are structured, patient, and adapted to each student’s learning style. I work to build confidence and problem-solving skills that prepare students for higher-level math.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have extensive experience teaching Algebra 2, including functions, systems, polynomials, and logarithms. I help students connect new topics to earlier algebra skills, making complex ideas more manageable and logical. My teaching approach emphasizes clear explanations, step-by-step problem solving, and exam readiness. I support students with diverse learning needs and focus on building long-term confidence in math.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I am KCNA and CKA certified with real-world experience building and managing Kubernetes clusters. My lessons are hands-on, guiding students through deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting applications on live clusters. I teach Kubernetes concepts clearly and practically, focusing on industry best practices and real use cases. I tailor lessons for beginners, certification candidates, and professionals transitioning into DevOps or cloud-native roles.
Computer Science

Computer Science

My Kubernetes (K8s) lessons are highly practical and focused on real-world skills, not just theory. Students learn by building, configuring, and working directly on a real Kubernetes cluster, gaining hands-on experience with core concepts such as pods, deployments, services, networking, and troubleshooting. As a KCNA and CKA certified instructor, I teach industry best practices and exam-relevant knowledge while adapting lessons to your experience level and goals. Whether you’re preparing for certification, transitioning into DevOps, or strengthening your cloud-native skills, I provide clear explanations, guided labs, and a supportive learning environment that helps you gain confidence using Kubernetes in real scenarios.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have over five years of experience teaching elementary math to students with a wide range of learning styles and backgrounds. I focus on building strong foundations in number sense, arithmetic, and problem-solving through clear explanations and hands-on practice. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and confidence-building. I have experience working with homeschooled, neurodiverse, and international students, adapting lessons to each child’s needs.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have over five years of experience working with homeschooled students across multiple subjects and grade levels.

I lived in Japan for ten years and have taken college-level classes in Japanese, giving me both practical and academic experience with the language. I focus on real-life communication, clear grammar explanations, and cultural context. I have experience tutoring Japanese for learners at different levels, adapting lessons to individual goals. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and confidence-focused.
Linux

Linux

I have practical experience using Linux for development, system tasks, and server environments. I teach essential skills such as command-line navigation, file management, permissions, package management, and basic system administration. My lessons focus on hands-on practice so students become comfortable working in real Linux environments. I adapt explanations to beginners and intermediate learners, emphasizing clarity, confidence, and problem-solving.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I teach artificial intelligence through hands-on project work, guiding students in building real applications using tools like Claude and other modern AI systems. I developed a Chrome extension called Ulearn, a YouTube quiz app that demonstrates how AI can power interactive learning experiences. Lessons focus on practical skills such as prompt design, integrating AI into apps, and turning ideas into working projects. I adapt to each student’s level, whether they are beginners exploring AI or creators wanting to build useful tools.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have over five years of experience teaching pre-algebra to students preparing for higher-level math. I focus on core skills such as fractions, decimals, ratios, integers, and introductory variables.
