Experience / Qualifications

4 years of private tutoring at Sierra College and Sacramento State University
Currently working as a Research Assistant analyzing migration patterns of South Koreans due to displacement during the Korean War.
Currently working as Teachers Assistant that provides after class tutoring to 200 students.
I will start you off with the development of Buddhism and Hinduism in India, and branch out towards the development of Confucianism in China. I will help you develop an understanding of Japanese Zen, and the relationship that Japan has had with its combination of religions. I've tutored many in the development of religions and philosophies, and it is important that both are intermingled within Asia. I help foster a safe environment to ask questions and become further enlightened within this subject. Let us work together to unpack biases, and develop a better understanding of Asian Philosophy. This is a Asian Philosophy 101 course so no prior knowledge is needed.
Over the course of my college career I was devoted to learning about how religion manifests within Asia. So many things seem to be philosophies rather than religions- is there a difference? Let us learn about it together! I have taken over 10 religious studies courses of my own volition, and have tutored religious studies to several college students after gaining my degree. I can break Hinduism down- what is atman? Who are the gods? Are there several sects? Who was important to the movement of religious tolerance in India? How has this affected the development of the country? I can explain the spread of Buddhism as well as the messages behind it. I plan to explain the story of Siddhartha and how it caused a ripple effect. Taoism, Shintoism, Islam and folklore will be delved into. The growth of Christianity within Korea, and China may also be explored if the student finds interest in the topic. My main concern is to explain religions across Japan, Korea, China, and India, but that is not to say that the religions have not touched the entire world. This is through the lens of Asia, but it can be applied to understand religious growth within the U.S. as well. No question is too small, let us conquer one of the hardest concepts together!
The history of Korea, Japan, and China are rich and intermingled. With my Magna Cum Laude Bachelors in Asian Studies focusing on Japan I can teach you about Japanese art, language, architecture, philosophy, religion, economics, development, and generalized history. I am currently working as an assistant to a Sacramento State Professor conducting research into migration patterns of South Koreans displaced by the Korean War. I can teach you about the development of Korea- about the K-wave, and the subsequent relationship they have had with Japan. I also am working as a teaching assistant and auditing courses to explain North Korea's sociology. Learning about Japan and Korea would not be complete by understanding the philosophies passed on from China. The development of the worlds current largest economy powerhouse has influenced every country in the world. China developing Africa is a recent interest of mine as it is a new form of colonialism. I can teach you about ancient East Asia, and I can teach you where it is believe the countries are heading.
My biggest fear when I started Japanese was making mistakes and being teased by others. It happened a lot, but I continued to pursue Japanese for the last 8 years of my life. I know what its like to make mistakes, and I know how nerve-wracking it is to try to do something new. I want to help you in the basics as I feel confident I can teach you how to read, write, and apply basic Japanese to your everyday life. I can teach you tips, tricks, and give you the insider scoop on how to prevail and become a proud student of the Japanese language. Even if you have not even googled how to do Japanese I can start you at the absolute basics. Lets learn together, and I can tell you about my experience abroad!

Teacher with more than ten years of experience, I have lived, studied and worked in Greece, Spain and England. My experience with both languages has given me the ability to teach other people in a dynamic and professional way. I offer to learn about your goals, your level of English, Greek or Spanish and thus design personalized and direct classes so that we can achieve your goals together. My greatest satisfaction is communicating with my students in the languages I have already taught them. I teach the classes online because I also work for the cruise line. I greatly respect my students and their goals, but I always make it clear that mutual respect, mutual schedules, and mutual commitment are the only three points that I try to have in common with my students, since those points reflect that we are going to meet our goals. I love to bring up topics about almost everything, doing pronunciation exercises. I truly believe that if we use what we do throughout the day to create an increasingly extensive vocabulary and we are persistent, I think that in a short time we can achieve very good results. I am a specialist in breaking the ice and creating the best closeness or complicity to get the most out of my dear students, I assure you that learning English, Greek and Spanish will be fun and one of the best experiences you will have!!!
