Learn East Asian History from a Research Assistant
The history of Korea, Japan, and China are rich and intermingled. With my Magna Cum Laude Bachelors in Asian Studies focusing on Japan I can teach you about Japanese art, language, architecture, philosophy, religion, economics, development, and generalized history. I am currently working as an assistant to a Sacramento State Professor conducting research into migration patterns of South Koreans displaced by the Korean War. I can teach you about the development of Korea- about the K-wave, and the subsequent relationship they have had with Japan. I also am working as a teaching assistant and auditing courses to explain North Korea's sociology. Learning about Japan and Korea would not be complete by understanding the philosophies passed on from China. The development of the worlds current largest economy powerhouse has influenced every country in the world. China developing Africa is a recent interest of mine as it is a new form of colonialism.
I can teach you about ancient East Asia, and I can teach you where it is believe the countries are heading.

4 years of private tutoring at Sierra College and Sacramento State UniversityCurrently working as a Research Assistant analyzing migration patterns of South Koreans due to displacement during the Korean War.
Currently working as Teachers Assistant that provides after class tutoring to 200 students.
I will start you off with the development of Buddhism and Hinduism in India, and branch out towards the development of Confucianism in China. I will help you develop an understanding of Japanese Zen, and the relationship that Japan has had with its combination of religions. I've tutored many in the development of religions and philosophies, and it is important that both are intermingled within Asia. I help foster a safe environment to ask questions and become further enlightened within this subject.
Let us work together to unpack biases, and develop a better understanding of Asian Philosophy.
This is a Asian Philosophy 101 course so no prior knowledge is needed.
Experienced personal tutor and teacher of 2 years, specializing in the adults who want to improve their comprehension of topics! All ages welcome, as I can make things fun and friendly while ensuring results. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student- want to ace an exam? Want to communicate with family members? Want to talk to that person in class? Or do you just feel like you don't understand some topics and need review? I can answer any question you have, and will be happy to assist with homework or other tasks to ensure you can catch up in courses, or get the generalized support you deserve.
Our goal is to communicate- I want to communicate with you!
Lets set goals and start talking now!
Over the course of my college career I was devoted to learning about how religion manifests within Asia. So many things seem to be philosophies rather than religions- is there a difference? Let us learn about it together!
I have taken over 10 religious studies courses of my own volition, and have tutored religious studies to several college students after gaining my degree. I can break Hinduism down- what is atman? Who are the gods? Are there several sects? Who was important to the movement of religious tolerance in India? How has this affected the development of the country? I can explain the spread of Buddhism as well as the messages behind it. I plan to explain the story of Siddhartha and how it caused a ripple effect. Taoism, Shintoism, Islam and folklore will be delved into. The growth of Christianity within Korea, and China may also be explored if the student finds interest in the topic. My main concern is to explain religions across Japan, Korea, China, and India, but that is not to say that the religions have not touched the entire world. This is through the lens of Asia, but it can be applied to understand religious growth within the U.S. as well.
No question is too small, let us conquer one of the hardest concepts together!
My biggest fear when I started Japanese was making mistakes and being teased by others. It happened a lot, but I continued to pursue Japanese for the last 8 years of my life. I know what its like to make mistakes, and I know how nerve-wracking it is to try to do something new. I want to help you in the basics as I feel confident I can teach you how to read, write, and apply basic Japanese to your everyday life. I can teach you tips, tricks, and give you the insider scoop on how to prevail and become a proud student of the Japanese language. Even if you have not even googled how to do Japanese I can start you at the absolute basics.
Lets learn together, and I can tell you about my experience abroad!

"Online Turkish Lessons with a Guaranteed Speaking Practice with a Turkish Teacher 🤓 / Over 6 Years of Experience 👨💻 / Easy Learning MetHello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾

Islamic studies (jurisprudence, doctrine, biography, hadith) and teaching the Qur’an with Nooraniya to Muslim children in Europe and America in ArabicHello and welcome.. The child in Europe and Western countries loses his connection with the Islamic religion. If his parents leave him to a Western school, he will greatly stray from his Islamic religion. There must be an alternative to the Western school that does not teach the Islamic religion at all.. The alternative here is online. We can, with the help and power of God, in an easy, gentle and interesting way, God willing, make the child love his religion and give him the religious information in jurisprudence, belief, behavior, hadith and biography necessary for any Muslim. Do not hesitate to contact me when needed. Our children are a trust with us, and we will be asked about them on the Day of Judgment. May God protect us and them from the temptations of this world.
