"I strive to create a productive learning space for non-traditional learners. As a non-traditional learner myself, I take an interdisciplinary approach to education and wanted to expand and develop methodology that embraces this idea.

Math is a language, and we get to further discover what our natural world is telling us when we know how to understand it from different perspectives. I draw from parallels between verbal reasoning and mathematical reasoning for the makings of a unique teaching approach that capitalizes primarily on pattern recognition. The strength of a student's learning experience is dependent on their ability to make connections across disciplines. This not only contributes to their overall mental flexibility, but this approach also welcomes non-traditional ways of thinking about math and the world around us. Feel free to reach out with your inquires at any time. I'm happy to help!"

I offer basic overview of theJapanese language including the following components: 1. Instructional support for reading, speaking, listening, and writing. 2. Formal instruction of the Hiragana, Katakana, and Japanese adaptation of Chinese Kanji. 3. Colloquial as well as traditional methods of speaking. 4. Cultural norms in Japan
