Experience Summary
I worked as a tutor at the Japanese Language Department of UC Berkeley. In the institution, I helped students from various cultural/ethnical backgrounds to improve their oral communication skills, as well as their reading and writing skills. As an actual achievement, I enabled students who hadn't spoken almost at all to speak what they wanted to say at least.
Teaching Style
My policy is that I do not correct students when they make mistakes during a practice to speak because I believe that it is much more important to build up confidence to speak Japanese than to speak correctly. However, when I access their writings, I am pretty intense to correct mistakes that they have made because I know that it will eventually help them to improve their oral communication skills.
My Hobbies
Reading both Japanese and English books, travelling, spending time with my family as well as friends.
