Meet Miaki Fukuhara: SAT, ACT, & STEM Tutor.
As a Peruvian-born, California-native Cancer research fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I have been involved in freelance tutoring since 2019, inspired by my experiences with a tutor during my high school years.
I prefer a hands-on teaching style, aiming to build personal connections with my students. I want them to feel like they’re more than just clients; they’re my mentees. I encourage open conversation and questions, which helps me understand their unique learning styles. This way, I can tailor my instruction to suit their needs, ensuring they learn in a way that works best for them.
I aim for each student to achieve their definition of a perfect score, whether a 1500+ SAT score, a high percentage on an AP Biology test, or passing a weekly math quiz. While I provide students with the resources they need to reach these goals, my main objective is to boost their academic confidence at every level.
