Teacher: D
I am a senior at Oakland University and major in Japanese Language and Literature. I am a certified Michigan CRLA Tutor Association Level 1 Tutor, and am CELT/TESL certified as well. I have studied Japanese since 2005, and completed my student teaching for CELT/TESL in June 2009.
I am now currently working with Project Upward Bound as the English Tutor. Project Upward Bound is a program that identifies “At-Risk” students within the Detroit Public Schools system that have potential to go somewhere in life. We then take the student in and provide them with a network of support that they otherwise would not have in an effort to prepare them for college. I strongly believe that given the right support and opportunity, anyone can excel in life!
I recently completed the Student Teaching to students of ESL in June 2009. I greatly enjoyed the class, and am sad that it had to end! I taught Advanced English as a Second Language to Latino students from my area for 2 months. I kind of still wish I could be teaching there but eh C’est la vie.
As for my teaching style, I like to talk to the student beforehand to see what level they are at and where they can improve. I cater to the student’’s level on an individual basis and work with them to strengthen pre-existing skills while helping them develop new ones. Let’s work on it together!
yasu said: Hi, it is yasuyuki.
Could I just join and listen to you? because I am interested in how you teach Japanese.
I know you are good because I've heard yours both on the messenger and youtube.
I wonder maybe it'd be good too if I could say things in my Japanese to other people.
How's your kitty by the way? posted 5 months ago
D said: Yeah Sure Yasu! The more the merrier. This is going to be a beginning class though, so please don't get bored! You are also more than welcome to offer pronunciation tips as well! posted 5 months ago
