About Jacob
I am currently a mechanical engineering student, and I studied Spanish throughout middle school and high school. I served a mission in Japan for a year and a half and worked very hard to understand the language and culture and learn how to communicate naturally with natives. Throughout high school I taught piano and swim to children, which helped me understand how different students learn and how I can effectively support them and help them improve. I also taught English and some Japanese while in Japan, so I gained some experience with how people acquire language.
I'm dedicated to being a reliable tutor by being prepared for sessions, staying organized, and having consistent communication so we're both on the same page. I enjoy teaching and am committed to creating a non-judgmental, encouraging environment where students can find confidence and success, both in and beyond the classroom.

My approach to teaching Japanese is based on the natural Japanese that I experienced while living in Japan for 1.5 years. Since Japanese can be quite difficult to learn as an English speaker, I work to build confidence in students by giving them conversation, grammar, and vocabulary practice and supporting them with easy-to-understand explanations and relevant examples. I believe in the importance of using language to communicate ideas and learn about new cultures, and my aim is to help students increase their ability to express themselves in a foreign language.
During lessons we'll review previous concepts, go over new material, and practice what we're learning. I teach everything from basic kana, pronunciation rules, and grammar structure to intermediate grammar patterns and natural speaking/listening. I'm a firm believer in trial and error in language learning, so I create an environment where students can practice and make mistakes free of judgment.
As a basic grammar resource, I use A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar (日本語基本文法辞典) and BunPro. If the student is currently in classes, we'll base lessons on class materials and topics currently being covered.

Jacob is an outstanding teacher! Jacob was our neighbor and taught piano lessons for our oldest child and swim lessons for three of our children. Jacob was always encouraging and able to adapt to the student's needs. He was responsible and cheerful. I highly recommend Jacob as a tutor!
