Certifications:
Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test
Because of my background in psychology, I value empathy and emotional connection. Having been a language learner myself while studying abroad, I can relate to the challenges students face and aim to create a space where they feel understood and supported. I also draw on my experience working with children at a cram school to build a relaxed, welcoming environment where students feel comfortable speaking.
Hobbies
Drawing, reading manga, watching movies, musicals, and stage plays, reading books, studying languages like English, traveling, knitting (especially dolls), making accessories, going for walks, and playing with cats. I also enjoy anime and dramas.

Favorite conversation topics
When meeting new students, I often find that topics like food, local festivals, and weather/climate differences are great conversation starters. I also love talking about pets with fellow animal lovers or pet owners!
