Brett, 2 lessons with MathewOf all my years in school, I have never had someone so helpful as Mathew has been. He is extremely knowledgeable in not only Japanese, but concepts and language as a whole, as well as new and efficient teaching methods. I was worried at first because I know next to nothing about Japanese, and I know it is a huge undertaking to teach from scratch, but he handled this very well, with many ideas of how to approach the situation.

I am currently a freelance translator (e.g., safety data sheets for a chemical production company) My experience comes not only from teaching but also having lived abroad.
Prior to François Hollande's inauguration, I lived in Romilly-sur-Seine in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France, where I worked as a "professeur," taught English and Japanese, as well as assisted in Calculus taught in English. My passion for language, art, and teaching has always been invaluable towards achieving my...

Of all my years in school, I have never had someone so helpful as Mathew has been. He is extremely knowledgeable in not only Japanese, but concepts and language as a whole, as well as new and efficient teaching methods. I was worried at first because I know next to nothing about Japanese, and I know it is a huge undertaking to teach from scratch, but he handled this very well, with many ideas of how to approach the situation. He is very accommodating and patient, and knows how to adapt to the style of the student. He puts his all into the lesson and explains things very well. He even stayed nearly an hour later than the scheduled time helping me without charge! I seriously cannot recommend him enough, and will be looking forward to working with him much more in the future as our lessons progress!

Knowledgeable, Personable
This was the first meeting so we discussed my goals, started with simple phrases and I found out what I needed to study for vocabulary and which written form I should learn. We also discussed the Japanese culture, things I should be aware of when in Japan, food etc. I look forward to learning with Mathew.

Excellent tutor of Japanese and maths.
Mathew is an excellent tutor of both Japanese and maths. He has a passion for teaching and a remarkable grasp of the cultural nuances of Japanese as well as an appreciation for the technical challenges of learning a non-European language. He is accommodating, adapts his style to changing student needs and genuinely cares about your progress in mastering a difficult subject. He is well-prepared, flexible and generous with his time. His versatility (mastery of three disparate languages--English, French, Japanese plus skill in maths and composition) is a bonus at test time as he's willing to take time away from the subject you may have hired him to tutor and answer ad hoc questions about others.
