"Educational Background

I hold a Master's Degree in Asian Studies from Florida International University, where I studied Japanese culture, language, and history in depth. Additionally, I received a certificate from the Professional College of Chado in Kyoto, Japan, specializing in the Japanese Tea Ceremony, which has allowed me to explore various cultural aspects of Japan and apply them in teaching environments.

Previous Tutoring/Teaching Experience

I have been actively involved in education for several years. Currently, I serve as a substitute teacher for Kelly Services and I am a current tutor with Ignite Reading, where I support students in developing reading and literacy skills. My teaching approach emphasizes personalized learning, adapting lessons to meet each student's needs and fostering a supportive environment. In my tutoring, I focus on interactive engagement, using storytelling, visual aids, and practical applications of cultural and historical knowledge to make lessons dynamic and engaging.

Contextual Details

I have taught students of various ages, ranging from elementary school children to adults. I have worked in both classroom settings and one-on-one tutoring, providing tailored instruction to meet the individual needs of students. My experience includes volunteer work at cultural events, where I introduced Japanese traditions and history, as well as providing online tutoring for students looking to improve their language skills." less...
