About

Hi there! I'm Hotaru — a high school student from the U.S. with a passion for learning and plans to pursue a career in medicine. I love helping others feel confident in what they’re learning through tutoring.

I tutor all levels of math (up through calculus) and also enjoy working with students on reading and writing — especially as an editor on the Schoolhouse Blog Team! I'm happy to support language learners in beginner Japanese as well.

When I’m not tutoring, you’ll probably find me reading, running, or baking something sweet. :)

I really appreciate your help; I was able to study for my math quiz tomorrow and have you to guide me + help answer my questions! You were super friendly + fun as usual - thanks for your time! Also, thank you so much for being super patient + understanding about my internet connection issues earlier! I can't wait for the next session!
