I have extensive teaching experience ranging from principle courses, elective courses, and undergraduate econometrics courses. I also have experience teaching 4 week, 10 week, and 15 week long courses and have experience teaching both remotely and in-person.

‘‘Kyutaro was quite simply an absolute saint for ECON 201. In a class where the professor would fail to explain a concept after several attempts, Kyutaro could explain it in seconds with brilliant notes for later reflection. In this course Kyutaro was my teacher not the Professor. Near the end of the term I discovered that by skipping lectures and just going to Kyutaro’s discussion section while referring to his notes I was scorching significantly better on the homework than before. Going to lectures was only creating further confusion. I don’t think I would have received a passing grade if not for Kyutaro.’’ - EC 201 Lab Winter 2021
‘‘He is the best econ professor! He made class engaging and made students like economics. His notes are the key to passing the exams. He is available anytime you need him. He goes beyond what is expected from a professor. I like economics thanks to this professor!’’ - EC 101 Spring 2019
‘‘Always has an positive attitude. Kyu always gives examples to assist with the concept and always offer office hours. Always helpful in office, he knows how to break it down, to your own individual understanding.’’ - EC 101 Fall 2018
