Caitlin
Current Undergrad Student, Asian Studies Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

As an Asian Studies major at Duke, Caitlin engages with Japanese language in an academic context that goes beyond textbook dialogues — she understands how kanji, hiragana, and katakana each function within the writing system and why particles like は and が trip up English speakers. She walks through sentence structure and honorific levels with cultural context that makes the grammar patterns memorable.

Connor
BA University
7+ Years Tutoring

Triple-majoring in Japanese, linguistics, and computer science at UMass Amherst, Connor brings both fluency and analytical rigor to teaching the language. He unpacks grammar patterns like particle usage and verb conjugation groups by connecting them to the underlying logic of how Japanese sentences are built — making new structures easier to internalize and recall.

Yuxuan
BA University of California-Berkeley
8+ Years Tutoring

I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I tutored my roommate and one of my underclassmen in Organic Chemistry. Finally, with a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Calculus

Crystal
MS Northern Kentucky University • BA Northern Kentucky University
1+ Years Tutoring

Crystal minored in Japanese Language and Culture at Northern Kentucky University, so she brings both formal study and genuine cultural curiosity to teaching everything from kana writing to grammar fundamentals. Her day job as a K-12 reading and ESL instructor means she's trained to break down unfamiliar language structures for learners at any level — a skill that pays off when explaining Japanese concepts like sentence-final particles or basic verb tenses that have no English equivalent. Rated 5.0 by students.

Zhaleh
BA Carnegie Mellon University
1+ Years Tutoring

Zhaleh is actively studying Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University, which means she's navigating the same kanji memorization strategies, grammar particle distinctions, and reading comprehension challenges her students face. She breaks down tricky structures like て-form conjugations and は vs. が usage in ways that make the logic behind the language click.

Nicholas
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

Mechanical engineering at the University of Dayton doesn't obviously connect to Japanese, but Nicholas's systematic problem-solving mindset lends itself well to breaking down kanji radicals, verb conjugation groups, and particle logic into repeatable patterns. He's also genuinely social and talkative — a trait that matters more than you'd think when practicing conversational Japanese, where comfort with speaking aloud is half the battle.

Shona
BA Johns Hopkins University
7+ Years Tutoring

Shona's semester abroad in Seville proved that immersion reshapes how you learn any language — a lesson she carries into teaching Japanese, where she emphasizes building comfort with sentence patterns and particles through active use rather than translation drills. Her AP Japanese Language and Culture tutoring draws on both her structured math-trained thinking and her own experience navigating a second language in real-world settings. Rated 4.9 by students.
