About
I was born and raised in Japan but I am a dual citizen and I am here as an American with an insight of East Asian culture, Politics and so much more. I have been tutoring students since I first started Highschool. At the time I taught Japanese students English, age range starting from 8-22. I prepared curriculum based on the individuals. I am planning to use this experience into tutoring here on this platform.
