About Me

Hello, my name is Hoshi. I am a Japanese tutor who loves languages from childhood, it gives me a great joy to listen to what people are passionate about and their life stories as well. I enjoy anime, movies, music, books and cooking. By the way my favorite animal is cats.

Education

Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. State University of New York at Potsdam. What I dedicate for whole my university years is how to teach, translate and proofread.

Experience / Qualifications

Over 14 years of teaching experience for students of any age (7 – 60 years). I have been teaching Japanese from beginner to advanced level.

Private students, university students, a consul and his family. I found that many people who made a great improvement in Japanese have three commons. One is a hobby they are into. Second is a desire of communication of how they would like to talk if they were fluent in Japanese. Third is a notice that heart matters.

I have helped students to prepare for Monbukagakusyo scholarship and JLPT exams by my experience as an examiner. Proofreading is one of what I dedicate my heart very much, respect what you wrote and do heart-to-heart proofreading to make your essay/document perfect in the way you wish.

Hoshi-San was very kind, polite, and understanding. She is a spectacular woman. I really enjoyed my time with her.
Hoshi is amazing. She is very friendly, reliable, and enthusiastic. My kids really enjoy her and I feel grateful to have found her!
Would you like to know what level your Japanese actually is? Would you like to know which part of your Japanese is in need of extra work? I will stay brutally honest to support you for upgrading Japanese efficiently. Like "no pain, no gain", weak points could be the sweet spot because it has the space to grow once you know what to do and how to work on. My schedule could be flexible so please feel free to contact me!
This online conversation class is for those who would like to try often and talk more. You are the main person in my class, so please let me know what you would like to talk about, your hobbies that make you stay up, your future job hunting in Japan, everyday life, etc. I am all ears! Shall we 挑戦?
Welcome to my class! Please tell me what you aim with your Japanese study, for education, for JLPT, for traveling. Also tell me how you have studied Japanese. I carefully think which method and materials would work best for you. My class is customized for you and I am not the type of tutor who uses same materials for anyone. Before class time I devote preparing class for you and after class I will dedicate extra time for review to make your next class to be better. I know how to study Japanese and guide you to what you aim for (please take a look at my profile). I expect you to work hard, really hard, not only during class but before and after as well. I might ask you do homework to strengthen what needs extra practice. If you have a question that you noticed after class, contact me. Once you decide to take my classes, please trust me, study very hard for what you dream to get and make great effort for yourself. I have got your back!

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass?

English essays: writing, proofreading & expert advice for clear, persuasive, and well-structured academic writing success
Writing a strong, well-structured essay is a skill that takes time and guidance to perfect. Whether you're struggling with argumentation, structuring, clarity, or just need someone to proofread and refine your work, I’m here to help. After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL with top marks (7s in HL Essays and IO) and achieving High Distinction (80+/100) in my university writing, I know what it takes to craft essays that are clear, persuasive, and academically strong. In this class, I will help you with everything from brainstorming and structuring to refining your writing style and improving grammar. Our first session will be focused on understanding what you need—whether that’s detailed feedback, proofreading, or general writing advice. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized approach to improve your essays. Expect constructive criticism, clear explanations, and a focus on making your writing as strong as possible. I am looking for students who are willing to learn, improve, and take their writing to the next level. Every session will be tailored to your goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way!

Math Tutor in Spanish or English - Mathematics Programme - Key Stage (Develop problem-solving skills and enhance strategic reasoning)
Math is a powerful tool in our daily lives, especially in the current digital age. This class is designed to help students navigate mathematical concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and enhance strategic reasoning. The course content varies based on the students' grade level or key stage, covering topics such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics (or data handling), and calculus. The class will employ various teaching methods, including interactive lessons, hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and technology-enhanced learning tools. It can integrate core mathematical concepts with an orientation toward AI applications, helping us to understand how math underpins the technology that powers artificial intelligence.

Homework help and lesson deepening course
For some students, homework help in the evening (over a fairly short period of time, often an hour from time to time is enough to create a method that allows the student to improve their work by themselves) may be a necessity. What can also be useful is the deepening of the lessons through small exercises and clarification on the gray points of the courses. What I am proposing here is this help, multidisciplinary until the start of middle school, then, in middle school or high school, in all subjects with the exception of mathematics and possibly physics. I can particularly help in French, history geography, English, SVT, Spanish and geopolitics. The purpose of this course ranges from the simple explanation, reformulation and relearning of a misunderstood course to the development of the student in a given discipline. To do this, I do multiple application exercises, followed by corrections and more theoretical parts if necessary.

The Great Qur’an for non-Arabic speakers with Tajweed rules (teaching reading using the Noor Al-Bayan or Nouraniya method)
We are guided by the student's goal #If the student’s goal is to learn to read the Qur’an according to the rules of Tajweed with memorization # Divide the class into two parts. The first ten minutes of class 8 are spent teaching and repeating the verses until they are well memorized. Then we move on to reading in an easy and simple way using interactive books and educational games. After completing the reading curriculum, whether Noor Al-Bayan or Al-Nooraniyah, we begin studying the rules of Tajweed as well in a very easy and simple way # using interactive books. If the student’s goal is to read the Great Qur’an correctly according to its rules and not to memorize it, we start with the reading curriculum with interactive books and educational games, and after completing the curriculum, we begin to complete the recitation and study the rules of Tajweed. # I open the camera while the camera is on, and the student must open the camera
