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！

Yoko Seto
Florissant, MO

A guaranteed breakthrough in learning Japanese!

I have nearly 50 years of teaching experience. While in Japan, I was a prominent English teacher at preparatory schools. Since coming to the US, I have taught Japanese in-person and online for the past two decades. Despite not being the most accomplished English student in my school days, I understand students' struggles. With my wealth of experience and knowledge, I can teach students at any level and with varying needs. Online teaching is particularly advantageous as it allows students to schedule their classes to meet their goals quickly and efficiently.

Anna Walter
Rapid City, SD

Your Civil Engineering, Japanese, Mandarin, or College Essay Writing Tutor

I grew up speaking Japanese at home, which gave me a natural familiarity with conversational Japanese from an early age. Additionally, I attended Japanese school every Saturday when I was younger, where I developed basic written skills, including reading and writing hiragana, and katakana. Beyond my academic background, I have traveled to Japan multiple times, which has deepened my understanding of the language and provided me with valuable insights into Japanese culture, customs, and everyday expressions. This first-hand experience allows me to share cultural nuances with students, helping them not only learn the language but also understand its context in real-life situations. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your conversational skills, I can help you build confidence in speaking, reading, and writing Japanese while providing insights into the culture that are essential for mastering the language.

Making Japanese Learning Fun!

I have been studying Japanese since 2016. I have had lots of experience working one-on-one with native speaker tutors to achieve a natural sound. I know what I don't know, and I know how to use circumlocution and context clues to express myself when I don't know specific words! I also have a lot of fun with mnemonic devices, and I have some interesting and unusual resources to share that have helped me on my language journey (Youtube channels, reading material, etc.) I have spent a total of 4 months living in Japan (study abroad in 2017), and I continue to pursue opportunities to practice my Japanese. I frequently get complimented on my Japanese :)

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.

Kool Ito
Oswego, NY, アメリカ合衆国

Akita International University Student/Exchange Student of SUNY Oswego, Senior: Comics and Hotspring

Firstly, I am a native speaker of Japanese. When students speak, read, and write Japanese, I can immediately notice and advise what is weird from the perspective of a native. My hobby is reading comics and using SNS, so I am also familiar with slang and young generation words, and of course, Japanese culture. I am happy to teach and talk about what students have interests in Japanese. About my Japanese qualification, I have a "Japan Kanji Aptitude Test level 2", so I am also good at kanji(Chinese Characters). And I have experience getting the highest grade(A+) on the Japanese language essay test for university entrance examinations, so I can also teach writing. In terms of teaching experience, I was a project member teaching English classes at my home middle and high school for one year. Besides, I went to clam school from elementary school 5th grade to high school 3rd grade(13th grade), so I also have experience with one-to-one instruction. Therefore, I can understand the feelings of not only teachers but also the students. I am an exchange student from Japan, age 24. Thank you for showing my bio, and I hope I can have a great lesson with you!!

Yanli Pan

I am a native Chinese speaker who grew up in China. I majored in Japanese at Henan Normal University, which specializes in training teachers. After graduating from college, I worked as a Japanese patent translator in Beijing for 8 years. I am a professional Japanese speaker.

I worked as a Chinese and Japanese tutor for two years at Northern Virginia Community College while taking classes there since I came to the U.S. in 2019. I helped students understand their class materials and any confusion they had related to homework or Chinese and Japanese as languages. I understand that both Chinese and Japanese are hard languages to learn for English speakers. I always praise my students' progress. I share my experience learning two foreign languages to encourage my students to keep going.

Autumn Edwards
Northampton, PA

Teacher by day, artist by night (UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE)

In "Japanese", we will be diving into the extensive world that is Japanese language. You will learn grammar structures, verb conjugation, vocabulary, reading, and listening comprehension in a conversational context. I have studied Japanese for the last 6 years. In high school, I was self taught, studying from a variety of language learning textbooks until I graduated. In college, I was finally able to take official classes which ranged from beginner to advanced, and I was the only student of my class to complete the highest level of the course: independent study. During this study, I composed a 12 page paper and a presentation entirely in Japanese while once again conducting my own lessons. Before the pandemic, I traveled to Tondabayashi, Osaka in 2019 as a part of a student exchange program to become immersed in Japanese language and culture. I was able to make lasting relationships with friends and host families who I am still in contact with today. Following my college graduation, I have been working as an online English discussion leader with an organization that specializes in student exchange between the US and Japan. Through GPI US I have been able to meet even more students who are excited to learn about language and culture, and I hope that through this platform, I will be able to help you do the same!

Honge Sakiko
Highland, NY

Japanese Teacher and Montessori Educator

I was born and grew up in Japan. I had all my education from Kindergarten to College in Tokyo. At the of 25, I moved to New York and received a Master of Science Degree from New York University. I worked as a licensed Teaching Assistant at a local public school in New York for about 10 years. I am currently working at the Montessori of New Paltz as a Teaching Assistant with Early Childhood Assistant Teacher Credential. I also had experiences teaching the Japanese language to English speakers online and in person by creating my own curriculum. In addition to my career with education, I have had experiences working for one of the major Japanese broadcasting companies as an On Air Radio Reporter from New York City to Japan to talk about the different aspects of American and Japanese lifestyles. Since Japanese is my primary language and is now widely spoken, and I speak English well to communicate with non-Japanese speakers, I would like to help open up amazing opportunities for the students who want to learn Japanese, which not only involve the language, but also its culture including traditional events, lifestyles, and healthy diet.

I studied Japanese for several years, culminating in a degree in Japanese studies. I hold an N2 level JLPT certification, the second highest level of certification offered by the Japan Foundation, an organization backed by the Japanese Ministry of External Affairs. I initially studied Japanese as my minor in University but found that I was far more suited towards Japanese than my major, so I switched. I am very passionate about the Japanese language and culture and always happy to share what I know with others. I am currently preparing to take the exam to receive the N1 certification next year and believe that the teaching of others is one of the greatest ways to study the basics. .

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!
