"Hi! I'm Rachel, and I'm a Japanese/English teacher. Why? Because I love Japan! I'm also a native English speaker from America, and I love to teach! It's rewarding and fun to see my students succeed! My hobbies are outdoor sports, karaoke, travel, and studying new languages.

I am a TEFL certified, experienced instructor with a B.S. in Biology. I also lived in Japan for 10 years teaching English to children and adults (ages 2-70 years old). I taught in the Japanese public school system for grades K-6 and in cram schools; helping businessmen, retirees, travel lovers, and test prep students meet their goals and speak with confidence! Through a mix of CLT and TBLT teaching methods students are encouraged to speak up and enjoy real live conversations, practice vocabulary words, grammar, and clear pronunciation.

Do you want to feel more confident when speaking English or Japanese? Are you studying for a hobby? Do you like to travel? Or are you hoping for a new job promotion? Is your child struggling in school or preparing for their college entrance exam? I have helped many in these situations to achieve their goals with success! And it is my greatest joy as an instructor to see my clients succeed. I am a dedicated professional ready to help you meet your goals with custom made lessons to fit your unique needs.

So send me a message, and let's enjoy learning together." less...
