My name is Julie and I am 37 years old living in the United States of America.
I enjoy traveling, playing video games and cooking. I lived in Japan for 5 years, and during that time I traveled to Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and China. I also traveled all over Japan to places such as Okinawa, Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya, Takayama, Shirakawago and many many more.
I love learning how to cook dishes from all over the world and I sometimes took cooking classes at the places I visited. I cook almost every day!
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I spent 5 years teaching English in public middle schools within Japan. After my day job, I would tutor Japanese adults in TOEFL prep, "eikaiwa" (English conversation) or business English. I also have experience tutoring children ages 5 to 12 within Japan and Italki. We often use flashcards to learn, and sometimes even games. In 2020 I received my TEFL certificate after taking an online course. I wanted to have a certificate to go with my experience!
I believe that patience is very important when it comes to learning a language. I am patient with students, and can adapt the lesson around their needs.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I believe having fun and practicing everyday is the best way to learn a language! I like to focus on why the students want to learn English, and will build my lessons around that reason! I like to make my own worksheets or find ones online that focus on grammar, spelling or sentence making.
*NOTE* All lessons must be booked through Italki. I will not arrange lessons or payments outside of the Italki website. I will not download any additional classroom programs or learning tools.
*Lesson cancellation policy* Due to the large number of last minute cancellations, causing me to lose money and time, I will no longer reschedule last minute cancellations unless it's due to an emergency.
Julie knows Japanese and this is very helpful for my son! She can even writes Kanji! Thanks to her help, my son's English has improved a lot.
