As the top student of my classes and a valedictorian candidate in high school, I've tutored younger children and peers growing up. I have also loved Japanese culture since I learned about it on TV as a child, so it was the most normal thing for me to come and teach English. It's extremely rewarding to help someone learn a new language, as I had done so many times myself as someone who had learned 6 languages (though only fluent in 4). Through my experience teaching, I also came to realize I'm a good listener and can motivate my students not only in learning but in life. My students' success is my success.
英語を勉強する生徒へアドバイス
初めまして!I'm from Vancouver, Canada, and I taught English in Sendai for 2 years plus another 14 years in one-on-one Eikaiwa school. I enjoy meeting new people, so I'm sure we can have fun learning and practicing English. I focus on speaking (conversation, pronunciation, reading aloud, slangs, etc.) but I can also help with writing and grammar. Let's have some fun talking and learning together! My lessons are usually friendly, fun, humorous but also serious and challenging at times.
困る時は日本語で説明することもできるので、初心者でも安心してください♪ あとは会話でしか学べない広東語(ネイティブ)と北京語(ほぼネイティブ)もできるので興味ある方をお待ちしております。
レッスン内容(生徒に望む到達点、使用テキスト等)
I have over 14 years of teaching experience, two years teaching elementary school to junior high school aged children as an ALT, and 12 years teaching one-on-one English lessons for clients who range from junior high school students to top executives at major corporations. I can customize materials that work best for the student's needs. I also have many years of tutoring experience, so I can also help you with materials that you may be using at work or at school, like preparing for Eiken, or help you prepare for an English presentation for an international medical conference.
