About Me

Hi! I'm Rina
I'm a bilingual English and Japanese tutor with a strong academic background and a passion for helping students feel confident in language learning.

I grew up in an international school since I was 0 years old and started studying abroad in the US at age 13. I am currently in college learning mechanical engineering.

I have taken the TOEFL with a score of 110, the ACT with 28, and the SAT with a score of 1350.
I have only taken the Eiken of/to level, level 2, but I am willing to help with higher levels.


I’ve studied in Japan and the U.S., so I understand the challenges of language learning from both sides. I am able to study any material the students bring, at any level and at any age.

Whether you're preparing for the TOEFL or Eiken or just want to speak better English or Japanese, I’m here to help you make real progress and enjoy the process, too.

Let’s set your goals together and start building the skills that matter most to you.

English communication skills. Become a more confident and successful communicator
Improve your ability to confidently and successfully communicate in English. This means not only building grammar and vocabulary but also developing communication skills and strategies. Many courses focus only on linguistic competence (grammar exercises), but communication involves so many other competences, including discourse competence (structuring and connecting your ideas); sociolinguistic and pragmatic competence (politeness strategies; using tact to discuss difficult situations; influencing; persuading etc); and strategic competence (using strategies to help maintain clear and fluent communication when you don ́t know the ideal way to express your ideas). I also specialise in listening skills and strategies, such as developing phonological awareness to help develop your ability to process fast speech. Other specialisms include pronunciation, with objective to help not only clear and fluent speech, but to aid listening ability too.

Eric
Economics, English, and Business Tutoring. Assist with mastering concepts: Understanding Tools and Mechanisms
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students tackle subjects that can feel intimidating at first but are incredibly rewarding once you start to understand them. Whether it's Economics, English, or Business, I’ve seen firsthand how small breakthroughs can lead to big moments of confidence. In Economics, I love taking complex concepts like supply and demand, market structures, and economic policies and breaking them down into something that makes sense. I've had many students who started feeling lost, but once we worked through a few examples together, they realized that economics isn’t as difficult as it seems—it’s all about understanding the patterns and relationships. When it comes to English, I’ve helped countless students refine their writing and communication. Whether it’s crafting a compelling essay, improving grammar, or just feeling more comfortable reading difficult texts, I've been there with my students through every step. The best part? Seeing the growth from struggling with basic concepts to confidently expressing themselves in writing and conversation. And in Business, I’ve worked with students ranging from those who dream of running their own companies to those looking to ace their business courses. Together, we dive into the foundations of marketing, management, and finance, and I love seeing those "aha" moments when the dots connect. It’s such an exciting field because it’s all about real-world applications, and I make sure to tie lessons back to the skills students need for future success. What I’ve learned from tutoring in these subjects is that each student has a unique learning style, and my goal is always to tailor the experience to what works best for them. Whether you need extra help preparing for an exam, want to polish your writing, or are looking to understand how business really works in the world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
