"I used to be a struggling student. No matter how much I studied, nothing worked. I spent long nights rereading the same material and still failed my exams. Everything changed when I created my own study method, inspired by Japanese learning techniques and my own experience. The first time I used it, I ranked first in chemistry. That moment completely changed how I learn.

I graduated from Bergen Community College with a 4.0 GPA in science and math. I was on the Dean’s List, received Phi Theta Kappa honors, and served as President of the STEM Student Union. I later earned my degree in electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers with a 3.98 GPA, graduating summa cum laude in the top 1 percent of my class and joining the IEEE-HKN honor society.

Now I help students who feel stuck or overwhelmed. My focus is on building simple learning systems that actually work and help you gain confidence.

I have several years of tutoring experience. In Japan, I taught Japanese to international students from Harvard and Brown and to business professionals through MySensei. In the US, I tutored at the Cerullo Learning Assistance Center and as a freelancer. I helped one student raise his Physics I grade from an F to a B plus, and guided another from failing the JLPT N1 to finally passing.

I also offer Japanese conversation sessions. I was born and raised in Japan, and my goal is to help students sound natural by improving word choice, flow, and rhythm. These sessions are great for casual conversation, business, interviews, school prep, or anime discussions.

For example:

Textbook Japanese

レストランに行きたいです。

Resutoran ni ikitai desu → I want to go to a restaurant

Natural Japanese

ご飯食べに行かない？

Gohan tabe ni ikanai → Wanna grab food

Both are correct, but the second feels more real. Most teachers stop at the textbook version. I help you speak the way people actually do.

You can book me for study coaching or Japanese conversation! :)" less...
