In May 2018 I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Asian Cultures and Languages, before then I was an exchange student in Taiwan, where I studied at the prestigious Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages in Kaohsiung. During my time at Wenzao, I took multiple classes on a variety of subjects, which were all taught in either Chinese or Japanese. Due to this long term interaction with native speakers, I can effectively communicate in a way natural to a native speak...

Ryan walked me through the steps I needed to take to complete a java programming project for school. He took time to prepare the material before meeting with me and explained everything in detail.

For the past four lessons, Ryan helped me start, and finish, my Computer Science project (in Java). He was very patient, responsive, and had quite a flexible schedule. He knew exactly what I was trying to output onto the screen, and effectively explained it. Rather than just doing the entire project on his own, he showed me examples of what was expected, and showed me how to apply it to my code. He knew exactly what he was teaching me, all while being effective, thorough, and patient. I am beyond happy with my final project, and I would highly recommend Ryan as a tutor.

Ryan has been helping me with precalculus. He is very patient with me when I don't understand something. He is also very good at explaining steps to solve a problem.

Ryan's got some great stories and relates to the struggles of an English speaker learning Japanese and he knows Chinese too. Super cool dude.

Ryan helped my son understand a semester's worth of geometry in two hours as well as helped him prepare for his test. I definitely recommend him.

Ryan is extremely knowledgeable with an understand of the process and challenges of learning Chinese as a second language, rather than as a native speaker.

Ryan is very helpful with teaching me Japanese. He is very thorough and actually taught the majority of the lesson in Japanese which really helps me click better with understanding. If I ever have a question, he clears it up quickly for me to better understand. He uses visuals/pictures and that is also very useful in learning. I highly recommend his lessons to anyone who is looking to learn the subjects he teaches.
