Gina
Well Rounded Tutor Specializing in the Earth Sciences and Writing
Hi! My name is Gina. I have a bachelor's degree in Physical Geology and master's degree in Geology.

I have only had 3 lessons of Japanese with Gina, following 3 months with another teacher in Las Vegas. I feel that I am already making progress. She understands my goal and adapts her teaching to my needs. I am having a great time. One month has gone by since my last review and I cannot believe how far I have come. Gina is very attuned to my capabilities, adapts the pace of her teaching to my pace of learning. She is an experienced teacher and a great one.

My child is a high achieving senior in high school. Even though he does well in school, I did not feel he was able to interpret literature at a college level. Gina was able to quickly identify the problem and taught him how to heighten his understanding with some pretty simple reading techniques. After 3 sessions he is actively practicing these techniques on his own and is even showing my younger daughter what Gina taught him. I am now confident my son is ready for college next year! Thank you Gina!

Finding Gina as a tutor for my son was the best thing we ever did. He had to go to school online due to illness. With Gina's help he was able to finish his classes. She is highly knowledgeable and very patient.

Learning Japanese language and characters in a fun and relaxed way. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I really enjoy our sessions together.
