Are you looking for a kind, friendly, patient, and supportive tutor? Look no further! Hi, my name is Aya. I’m a native Japanese speaker. I have lived in the United States for 5 years and in Hong Kong for 8 years, so I speak English fluently and some Cantonese. I live in Fukuoka now. I enjoy watching American TV series and movies, gardening, cooking, reading books, handcrafting, hiking, playing video games, and traveling when I'm able to. I’m interested in history and psychology. I have specific knowledge of how to teach students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and Asperger's syndrome (ASD). I teach ages 12 and up. I have experience working as a caregiver at a nursing home and I also worked at a freight forwarding agency in an airport where I handled cargo documents. I teach Japanese in English, especially for beginners. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Beginner level* I mainly use the textbook "Irodori." The textbook can be downloaded at no cost.
