"I have about 10 years of experience working with students learning English as a second or foreign language. I am certified in a TEFL 120 hour course for teaching foreign languages, which improves my English tutoring and also gives me a foundation for tutoring my second language, Japanese.

I have also taught English to native speakers, in the form of being a Student Instructor at university, leading a creative writing course at a Junior High School, and helped edit and guide students writing successful essays for submission into a prestigious program.

TEFL 120 hour course, successful submissions and presentations at Graduate school conferences, awards for humorous writing, teaching experience in an American Junior high school, in 5 Japanese Junior High Schools, and as a student instructor for first-year university students.

I have successfully tutored several students applying for N3 and N4 level JLPT language certification. My certification in teaching foreign languages taught principles applicable to teaching Japanese, although the specifics relating to English grammar in the TEFL course are not relevant to Japanese. I enjoy Japanese and would find it rewarding to guide someone else with their language learning goals.

Please send me a message if you would like to discuss a session. I’m only open to online sessions for the foreseeable future, given the pandemic." less...
