Hobbies
In addition to the academic subjects listed above, I like to work with my hands on home improvement projects. I live with my wife and college-bound/high school senior daughter in the Falls Church section of Fairfax county. My wife is from Japan, so there is a life-long connection (and a lot of travel over the years) to that country (and she might also be able to help you with your Japanese). I would be interested in helping international students who are planning to study at American colleges and universities.
