What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?

I love teaching hiragana and katakana, along with writing practice.

Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?

For me, inclusion resonates the most because being included and treated equally is an important thing to me. I want to treat people the way I want to be treated, so if I want to helped kindly and patiently, I would do the same to the person I'm helping.

What is your best advice for students on how to get the most out of their academic experience in college?

Take advantage of opportunities. Don't be scared to stand up and step out of your comfort zone.

Give us a movie quotation, song lyric, or line from a book that will motivate us in our learning.
