Experience Summary
I currently teach business English and conversational English at Berlitz in Northern California. I obtained my Bachelor of Science from Hawaii Pacific University.
The majority of my teaching experience comes from working for a year in Japan, with students ages 3-60, in small groups and one-on-one sessions.
I enjoy working in causal environments such as a cafe, or online, to make the student feel comfortable. I am open to students of all English levels, from beginner to advanced.
Teaching Style
I am fully fluent in English and I have experience teaching the basics and subtleties of the language to all types of learners: children, teens, and adults, beginner to advanced level. I have also studied French and Japanese to help me understand why speakers of different languages may misunderstand certain concepts found in the English language.
Using my foundation of experience with my Berlitz training, I make lessons fun, interesting, and personal to help the student retain the new language and progress faster. I also create connection real-life situations as if you were already working with American English speakers.
I believe in personalizing each lesson for my students. Once I learn about you, your goals and interests, I can pave the way to a new journey communicating in English.
