Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours above)
As a fellow language learner myself, I deeply understand how challenging and difficult it can be to stay motivated when learning a new language. That’s why I always try to find study methods that work best for each individual student and support them every step of the way. My goal is to create a fun, safe space where students feel excited to speak Japanese and look forward to participating in lessons.
Hobbies
Watching sports (especially soccer), dogs (Welsh Corgis!), Pilates, studying English, aromatherapy, exploring local izakayas, and making snacks to go with drinks
Things I’d love to try: writing haiku, playing the piano, and colored pencil art
Best movies/anime/manga/games
Films
The Devil Wears Prada
Every Day a Good Day (日日是好日)
Books
I enjoy reading across many genres—whatever sparks my interest at the moment.
Favorite conversation topics
Health: With more time to focus on my own health and a background in nursing, I enjoy learning and talking about healthy habits, exercise, and food.
Language Learning: I’m interested in not only teaching Japanese and studying English, but also in how languages work and how we learn them.
Sports: I love watching and talking about sports! Especially soccer! I'm a loyal Sagan Tosu fan and have a season pass.
