Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to create a relaxed and safe learning space where students can express themselves through Japaneseโ€”even if their language isnโ€™t perfect. Rather than focusing on flawless grammar, I encourage students to use Japanese to communicate who they are and what they care about.
