Hello! My name is Ria and I'm a native Japanese speaker born in Kyoto. I moved to Hawaii as a child and have recently graduated from University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in neuroscience. 

I'm very excited to teach students on Eigox, as I love teaching and watching my students improve over time and most importantly, enjoy the learning process. I will try my best to make my lessons as engaging, personal, and fun as possible! 

I'm a very punctual, patient, and dedicated tutor.  I will make sure to deliver adequate lessons to each students to meet their individual needs and communicate along the way.  My strengths include  pronunciation, vocabulary, and Eiken Preparation, as I have acquired Eiken Grade 1. 

I enjoy listening to music (particulary oldies and British rock), watching movies, reading, and writing.  I would love to discuss these things and more - I look forward to meeting you!
