Language Lessons in Pacific, WA. It's your time.

Through my experience as a youth ambassador to the island of Shikoku, studying at University in Tokyo, tutoring Japanese as a Resident Assistant for 2 years and working at a Japanese contemporary art gallery, I feel with my diverse set of experiences I am able to clearly communicate and make either setting a new foundation or building off one a fun experience!

I began learning Japanese at 15 years old where I studied as a Rotary Ambassador in an agriculture village for one year. Having never studied the language prior and in a small community with no English speakers - I feel I created some unique and fun ways to learn a language and really make it stick!

Although with my experience now working bilingually at a Japanese company, I am also conformable helping students with a good foundation of the language already deepen their understanding.

I am able to teach reading, writing and speaking!

I took 8 years of Spanish classes and lived in Ecuador where I used Spanish on a daily basis.

My teaching philosophy is to help students engage in learning. I find that a personal connection to new information makes it more engaging and meaningful, and students remember it better too. It's also more fun.

That being said, if learning is more readily achieved for your student through other methods, we will do whatever works best. I cater to results, because my ultimate goal is the student's success.

Hello. I am a Chinese woman fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

I grew up in China and lived and went to university in Japan. Coming from the north of China, I speak very fluent and standard Mandarin Chinese. I have great confidence in my standard (dialect free) Chinese and Japanese pronunciation.

I feel confident that with learning two foreign languages (That would be English and Japanese for me) I have acquired the language skills that have allowed me to understand how best to study and teach a foreign language. At present, besides teaching my 3 children Mandarin Chinese, I also have students whom I serve as their tutor for in both Chinese and Japanese.

I teach vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation. I teach conversation and use everyday examples.

I have a BA in Latin and Greek. It is true that these languages are “dead” and can be difficult to learn, but they are still useful in the modern world. An intensive study of Latin, for instance, provides a fundamental understanding of the language through the explanation of many grammar topics. This results in a fuller understanding of English grammar and vocabulary. It is good to develop the discipline required to learn Latin in high school and beyond.

In addition to tutoring, I teach Latin from scratch. I have typed up a series of Latin Outlines based on college course material. Outlines are divided into three sections: Grammar, Vocabulary, and Exercises.
