Teaching
I've been teaching Go for at least five years now, and over that span of time my teaching has continually improved. These days I get a lot of very positive and flattering feedback (thank you~).
I believe it is important to focus on concepts and real understanding rather than case-by-case tactical explanations. It is just the same for academic studies, and really life itself - and speaking of which, let me just throw it in here that Go not only provides deep mental and personal cultivation, but also is really analogous to life!
I believe that more so than just a having deep understanding of Go, teaching it requires the ability to put oneself in the student's shoes. Furthermore, with a little creativity, a Go teacher can complement explanations through use of various fun and relatable analogies and metaphors - it is very important to comprehend and discern the situational as well as the long-term needs of the student.
As for English, I've taught a few people in the past, but for the most part have just started tutoring in early 2013. For both Go and English (I can also tutor Japanese for very low-level beginners), I have some typical formats in which I teach, but can teach in any other format as well - I am open to mostly anything.
RATES...
...are open to discussion!
But in general, for real-time lessons, I charge about $20/hour. Travel time/expenses not included.
If you have any questions, please, feel free to contact me!
You can email me, contact me via my other social media, or even easier - fill out the "Talk to Yuki" form on the right sidebar (it can be found on the right, close to the top if you scroll up a bit)
This page is still under construction, and will eventually include more details and links to other related information and sources of credibility such as past lessons, feedback and more!
