I am bilingual and bicultural, as well as being a native speaker/writer in both Japanese and English.
As a Predoctoral Teaching Associate at the University of Washington, Seattle, I have: Developed, proposed, and assisted in the teaching of JSISA242 “Introduction to Contemporary Japan” over the course of 4 quarters in 4 years; Managed class of 35 to 80 students from the US, Japan, Korea, China, among other nationalities and backgrounds requiring cultural sensitivity and strong communication skills; Provided constructive feedback on written assignments, organized and led class discussion, maintained gradebook and submitted grades, requiring high attention to detail.
I believe strongly that I am well-qualified as a tutor for Academic Writing. Both my personal experience being trained as a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington, along with experience gained through teaching and assisting undergraduates write better undeniably are benefits to my Writing skills.
