About

👉 Trial lesson $25 👈 6 years experience. Currently offering new students up to 1 trial lessons at a discounted rate of $25. Please mention this at the time of confirming a lesson with me **Until February 15th only** *Online tutoring sessions only.* Do you want to learn Japanese? Are you looking to improve your writing & comprehension skills? Message me to organise a 5-10 minute consultation where we can discuss your learning goals. I work as a teacher in Japan and as a tutor online to students worldwide. I have over 6 years of experience teaching and tutoring, including creating lesson/study plans, tailoring sessions specifically for each student, and monitoring their progress. I received 13 years of Australian schooling, I also have a Bachelor of Digital Media, a Diploma in Photography & Photo-imaging, and a Diploma in Advanced Japanese Studies. My teaching style: Not only do I aim to embed a deep understanding of the subject material into each student, but I also have knowledge of the ins and outs of Queensland's curriculum; I can help significantly with deconstructing, understanding, and appealing to assessment criteria to help students achieve improved grades. Instead of telling students how to solve a problem, I use probing questions that guide them to figure out the solution. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are at the core of Australia's curriculum. Once a student is comfortable with these skills, they'll quickly realize there's nothing they can't understand.

Reviews

My grade 10 daughter has been studying English and Japanese with Matt, and I couldn't be happier with his teaching style and with the fact that she's getting As and Bs in English now... I have seen a big improvement in both my daughter's grades and just her overall attitude towards school. She looks forward to her tutorting lessons now and seems so much more confident about her school work. Thank you Matt, I'm so glad we found you!!
