Introduction: I am a certified teacher of the Japanese language, with experience instructing learners young and old in both classroom and private lesson settlings. I have traveled to Japan seven times, living and working there for an academic year from 2003-04. I love instilling a sense of curiosity about the Japanese culture in my students. My hope is that, once we have explored the language and culture together here in America, my students are excited to visit the country for themselves, or interact with Japanese people to continue learning.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a teacher, I love being involved in education--even when I'm on the receiving end! Hardly a year has gone by in my life where I have not been enrolled in a class, attended a workshop or conference, or been actively involved in educational associations. The field of education is changing every year, and I enjoy keeping up with new trends, theories and practices!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always loved to share my passions with others, whether it be what I know about Japanese or a favorite book I read. I was naturally drawn to education because teachers have the wonderful job of sharing something they are passionate about with students who are willing and interested in learning!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Even though being able to practice the language you study is very important, I also believe that receiving a lot of "comprehensible input" is an important aspect of language learning. This means that the instructor speaks to his/her students at a level that is accessible to them, or provides listening material that is appropriate.
