Yasushi
Tutor with experience
I have been tutoring over 10 years. I just love to help students to learn. I basically try to help students understand what they need to learn in each subject. If they struggle in school work, I emphasize basics skills first and then try more. When they understand what they are studying at school, I encourage them to study further. Because of one on one learning system, I can explain each topics deeply so Students can learn a lot more than they do in school. I have successfully helped m...

I am very lucky to have Yasushi-san as my tutor in Japanese. On our first meeting, we discussed my goals and I showed him my books. I explained to him that after meeting my relatives in Kagoshima and Hiroshima, Japan for the very first time last spring, I fell in love with them as well as the country. When I visit Japan again, I would like to be able to speak fluently with my relatives. Yasushi-san is originally from Gifu, Japan. This city is located in the middle of Japan and was the site of many fierce battles among the warlords prior to the Edo period. He attended the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut and has been in the United States for over 20 years. He majored in biology and chemistry and currently enjoys tutoring all levels of math. Fortunately for me, he can also teach Japanese. He is a very talented individual who has black belts in both Japanese and Chinese martial arts. This is our present routine: We meet or I telephone him to read a news story written in simple hiragana that is comprised of several paragraphs. Yasushi-san reads it back once I’ve read it so I can listen to the correct pronunciation and phrasing. I ask questions about the vocabulary or we discuss other topics such as Japanese food, customs of Japan, and the historical significance of cities. Some of the articles I’ve read in Japanese have been about stolen bees, a plant explosion, and an avalanche. It has been a wonderful learning experience and I recommend Yasushi-san to anyone interested in supplemental studies in math or Japanese.
