Teaching Philosophy

I aim to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where students feel comfortable speaking. I customize lessons based on each student's level and goals, and I try not to over-teach or talk too much myself—so students have plenty of space to speak and grow.

Favorite conversation topics

Horses: I have experience with horseback riding and often visited Tokyo Racecourse just to see the horses. People are surprised when I say I used to ride in Tokyo—but there are actually quite a few riding clubs in the city!

The Edo Period: I'm fascinated by the Edo period and enjoy reading books and watching films set in that era. One recent favorite was the movie "A Samurai in Time".

Life Abroad: There’s so much to relate to when it comes to the joys and challenges of living overseas—I’d love to share and hear about others' experiences!
