Certifications:
Registered Japanese Language Teacher
Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test
Completed a 420-hour Japanese Language Teacher Training Course
Experience teaching Japanese both at Japanese language schools and online
I try to create a friendly relationship with my students where they feel comfortable talking and have plenty of opportunities to speak Japanese. I am always looking for the approach that works best for each individual student.
I also make a conscious effort to ask questions that students can answer using the vocabulary and grammar they already know. Most importantly, I teach with a smile so that students can feel relaxed and confident speaking Japanese.
Hobbies
Jogging, hiking, reading, watching movies, and participating in local international exchange activities. I often hike to waterfalls in my area, volunteer at a local Japanese language class, and join English conversation cafés.
