Utilizing expert knowledge gained from two decades of experience at some of the world’s top international schools, Matt offers one-on-one, in-home or online tutoring to meet your child’s specific goals. Whether your child needs intensive practice in a specific skill or wants to accelerate her/his learning, Matt carefully designs a program to boost your child’s ability and confidence.

A completely customized approach

Every tutoring session is completely customized to meet each student’s individual needs. I begin by assessing each student’s skills and understanding, identifying strengths and areas for development in relation to grade-level benchmarks. From there, I develop a clear instructional roadmap designed to build on existing strengths, address challenges, and help each student achieve success. All teaching is closely aligned with school curricula and standards to ensure that students will feel more success in their school learning.

Expert teaching by an experienced international school teacher

Tokyo Learning Lab is an independent tutoring practice led by Matt Kish, an educator with more than 20 years of experience in teaching and educational leadership at international schools, including the American School in Japan, Singapore American School, and the American School in London.

Unlike a tutoring agency that assigns students to different instructors, I work personally with every student. This allows me to develop a detailed understanding of each student’s abilities, learning habits, and goals and to adapt instruction accordingly. I have a strong understanding of international school curricula, which allows me to align our tutoring sessions to what your child is learning in school.
