| Description |
Hello, my name is Jean Ren. I am a senior undergraduate student at Cornell University double majoring in economics and Asian studies. Because I have always been interested in Japan and have a love for almost everything Japanese (food, music, pop culture...), I started my study of Japanese immediately upon entering university and took Japanese courses up until last semester, Spring 2010 of my junior year. For that semester, I studied abroad at Sophia University in Tokyo for 4 months, and thus had to switch from Cornell's Japanese curriculum to the one offered at Sophia University. My last Japanese course completed at Cornell was JAPAN3301, labeled as 'continuing intermediate Japanese'. The textbook we used was 'An Integrated Approach to Intermediate Japanese', which we finished half of. At Sophia I placed into 'Intense Intermediate Japanese', which used (and finished) the same textbook, but to be honest I felt this course was extremely poor in comparison to the ones I took at Cornell. It was unorganized, the instructors were apathetic, and there was very little emphasis on speaking and listening. It just did not live up to the quality of the courses I was used to at Cornell, to the point where I am afraid that my Japanese ability may have even declined in some areas. I desperately wanted to take and pass the JLPT 1 test this December, but was not prepared for what a joke and waste of time my Japanese instruction at Sophia would be. I have many textbooks, Kanji books, JLPT books, and an electronic dictionary at my disposal, yet try as I might to self-study I feel that no matter which method I try to take, it is always extremely inefficient. I'm looking for a private Japanese teacher to gauge my current ability level, and from there help prepare me for the JLPT test (if it's near impossible for me to be prepared for level 1 by December, tell me and I can change it to level 2).
Because I have a busy course schedule this semester along with a job, I prefer online instruction through video and emailing because it would be more efficient. Also, I am pretty sure there are few if not none private Japanese tutors available in Ithaca, NY.
