Alipio Gayo
Los Angeles, CA

UCLA Graduate with 4 years of teaching experience

I lived and taught English in Japan for 2 years. There, I taught myself Japanese (without a teacher). My teachers were the Japanese locals. I would listen to Japanese people in my daily life, take notes, and use the language back onto the Japanese people. I am particularly interested in Kanji and creating unique mnemonics.

Matthew Ortiz
Riverside, California, 미국

University of California Riverside Alumni, Passionate 5 year+ language learner

I have been studying Japanese for the past five years and I would love to pass down the knowledge I recived and kept throught the years. I also know that teaching is a core value in understanding anything especially a language so I knew tutoring would be a great job for me. Being able to conversate with people who also want to learn the same subject is just a wonderful sight to see and experience. Going through several Japanese courses throught college and even before that self studying the language has given me the ability to teach and help many of my fellow classmates.

Alisha Yanos
Las Vegas, NV

Passionate Tutor who likes to make learning fun and easy

Being part Japanese, I took Japanese all of high school to not only learn the language but to learn the culture. Since graduating high school, in order to retain the information I had learned, I am a strong believer of the phrase “use it before you use it”. Learning Japanese is one of the hardest languages, but it can be fun to learn and very rewarding.

Tasha Waldorf
Tucson, AZ

Japanese Language Teacher for All Ages & Adult ESL Teacher for Japanese Speakers

I graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor's in Japanese and also received an Associate's of Arts in English from Crafton Hills College. I currently teach Japanese to all ages online on Varsity Tutors, and volunteer at my local Japanese Language School to help with teaching students of all ages in Japanese. In addition, I have earned a teaching certificate (TEFL). This was a 120-hour course which included a course on teaching English as a foreign language and it's structure; while it was specifically for teaching ESL, the bulk of the course focused on the methodology I would need to work as a teacher. I did this so that I can better teach Native Japanese students English, and though I love to teach Japanese the most, I felt that earning a teaching certificate was the best way to learn methods about teaching a language and helping my students as their tutor! Along the way, I learned a lot about teaching, its methods, lesson planning, and how to teach language in general. I love teaching students of all ages, making engaging and fun lessons, and spreading the passion, love, and knowledge of Japanese!

Matthew Anderson
Westwood, CA

Mechanical Engineering Junior at UCLA

Ever since I was born, English was my native language. Living in Indonesia, I went to a school where Chinese was taught, therefore I could read the characters with minimum difficulty. However, without any knowledge of Japanese, I started self-study in early 2019 using Duolingo and other resources mainly from Youtube. Although I started learning for fun, I became engaged and mastered the language in a year. After traveling to Japan several times, I am able to communicate with native speakers. In my community college, I converse daily with my Japanese peers, understanding the foundation of the language up to the slang and being able to read and write. It has been almost 3 years of my self-study, and I hope to continue learning while also sharing my knowledge with other people. My passion for languages has extended over the years, as I volunteered to teach kids in Indonesia who couldn't speak English, and I lead the International Students Club at my college, helping international students with their language barrier, to connect with one another despite our differences.

Melissa Fason
Russellville, AR

Beginner Japanese Grammar & Conversation Tutor

I have studied Japanese in a university setting for over three years, and I have experiencing living in Japan. I often read books and listen to media in Japanese as well. English and Japanese are vastly different languages with very different cultures behind them, so it can be difficult for native speakers of one to learn the other. When I began my study of Japanese, I learned the basics from a non-native speaker before I moved on to learning from native Japanese speakers. From my own experience and observation of other learners, I honestly believe this is the most ideal way to begin learning. There are some finite details in grammar patterns, vocabulary, and culture that are generally only noticed by the people that had to learn it all later in life. As a native English speaker, I can bring these finite details to the table and explain them to you in depth so that you can truly understand how it all works.

Tim Jensen
Minneapolis, MN

Recent College Graduate, Language Tutor

I have been studying Japanese for six years. I began studying Japanese independently in high school, then took four years of intermediate and advanced language classes at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I worked as a Japanese tutor at Carleton for three years, transitioning fluidly between in-person and remote teaching as COVID demanded. I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Japanese Language and Literature. My connection to Japan and the Japanese language is very personal, as my grandfather was born and raised in Tokyo, and immigrated to the US after WWII. Learning Japanese has enabled me to learn more about my grandfather's life, deepening my connections to my family history and culture. I am also an avid manga reader, and love the films of Hayao Miyazaki. Regardless of where you are on your language learning journey, I am excited to be sharing my passion for Japanese. Learning a new language can be daunting, but I know firsthand how rewarding the experience can be. 一緒に頑張りましょう！
