Hello and Welcome!
My name is Lorenzo Portin. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Japanese Studies. I
have extensive knowledge in history, geography and politics dealing with Asia
and the United States, especially when it deals with Japan. I love history,
politics and philosophy. I am also well versed in the Japanese language. I can
read and write as well. My Japanese knowledge and expertise is similar to a
native speaker of the language.
I
have never taught in a school. I have never tutored a child. On paper, I may
not appear to be a promising mentor. I also know I probably may not appear on
the short list of candidates. But, teaching has always been my dream. I may
have stumble on the way to that dream, but I am one step closer to it. All I ask
is that I am given the chance. I believe with time and experience, I can change
my resume to appear appealing to any skeptic. I will make it my goal to
convince parents that I can educate their children proficiently.
I
could have written all my job and life experiences, but that
would not tell you much. I purposely presently how strongly I feel on teaching.
I wish to demonstrate what I can do with my actions. I understand it is similar
to asking an untrained cadet to fight a war. However, I am willing and able to
do the work. I only ask that I am given the opportunity. Teaching our children
is like a privilege, given by their parents. It is a show of their trust and
faith. I will not betray their expectation. I know that I can do it, and if given
the chance I know that I will perform beyond expectations. That is a promise I will
keep to myself, and to those who have granted me this opportunity.
