Hello, I'm Eito and I currently go to Georgia Southern University as a D1 basketball player while maintaining a 3. 76 GPA. I am originally from Japan and I came to the United States when I was nine due to my dad's work. When I tutor, I will try to teach not just that subject, but also how to be successful in life. My dream was to become a D1 basketball player and my dream did come true, but no one knows many sacrifices I had to make to get here. Even after I made it, it is still very hard to maintain an above 3. 5 GPA while playing basketball. However, I am doing it now and I know how to do it. When I tutor, I would also like to show students what it takes to make your dream come true.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY PAST EXPERIENCES- I HAD A STUDENT WHO JUST GRADUATED FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY. WHEN SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I HAD TUTORED HER FOR FOUR YEARS, JUST ONCE A WEEK. SHE FINISHED GENKI 1 AND 2 (AP JAPANESE LEVEL) WITH NO HIGH SCHOOL JAPANESE CLASSES AND SHE WAS PLACED IN A THIRD YEAR JAPANESE CLASS IN HARVARD. SHE WAS THE ONLY FRESHMAN THERE. I HAD ANOTHER STUDENT, WHO BARELY PASSED THE FIRST YEAR HIGH SCHOOL JAPANESE. I STARTED TUTORING HIM WHEN HE STARTED SECOND YEAR, TWICE A WEEK. HE ENDED HIS SECOND YEAR WITH A B+. I HAD ANOTHER STUDENT WHO HAD STUDIED JAPANESE FOR TWO YEARS WITH ME WHEN HE WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. WHEN HE STARTED HIGH SCHOOL, HE SKIPPED JAPANESE I (FIRST YEAR) AND STARTED WITH JAPANESE II. AFTER A WHILE, HE GOT BUSY WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES AND HE HAD STRONG FOUNDATION (ACCORDING TO HIS FATHER), SO HE DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM JAPANESE TUTORING. I WAS HAPPY FOR HIM. A YEAR LATER I GOT AN EMAIL FROM HIS FATHER, SAYING “GOOD MORNING, CHIYO! IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, HOPING YOU ARE WELL AND HAPPY! I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ARE STILL IN SAN DIEGO OR HOME IN JAPAN, BUT XXXX IS HALF-WAY THROUGH HIS AP JAPANESE YEAR, AND WILL NEED SOME HELP FOR THE AP TEST. IF YOU ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE TUTORING, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. AND IF YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE, CAN YOU RECOMMEND SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU?” I WORK WITH ADULTS, TOO. I USED TO HAVE A CLASS AT SONY (UNFORTUNATELY, MY VAIO PEOPLE ARE GONE). I TAUGHT TWO CLASSES A WEEK AND AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF, FIVE STUDENTS TOOK THE “JAPANESE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST” AND ALL OF THEM PASSED THE BEGINNER LEVEL. IF YOU ARE WORKING FOR A JAPANESE COMPANY, BEING ABLE TO COMPREHEND AND COMMUNICATE IN JAPANESE IS HUGE PLUS!!

Hi, my name is X. Shi and I go by Edward. I just graduated from University of Utah with a double major in Video Game Design and Japanese. I've been doing volunteer work for the English Language Institute of the University for a couple of years because most of the students there are Japanese. Thus, I've constantly communicating with Japanese for years. I also took the Practical Japanese Exam (J-Test) and got an A-.
I can teach you anything about Japanese so come to my sessions!

I have taught two students before, one for Spanish and the other for math. I can teach students of all ages, and I also have experience being a TA at a nearby Chinese school. I have also worked as a volunteer for a Microsoft program that focuses on teaching kids how to code. I've maintained a high GPA for all 4 years, and I have also participated in a host family program in Japan for 3 weeks, so I am very familiar and passionate about the language. I am a native speaker of both English and Chinese as well.
