I am an English teacher from Los Angeles, California in the United States. I currently live in the Tochigi prefecture of Japan, where I have lived for several years. In addition to teaching language, I also enjoy learning languages. At the moment, I am learning Japanese, Spanish, and a little German. I have also studied French, as I minored in it during my time at the university.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for over 8 years. I have taught students from as young as 3 to as old as 80. I've taught beginners and advanced learners, conversation and business English. I like to create a warm, stress free atmosphere while teaching. I find that this helps create a better learning environment.
My lessons & teaching style
For beginning students, I like to practice useful structures that native speakers tend to use. I use textbooks and worksheets to practice these structures, and move to role-playing once the student is more comfortable. In this way, the student can build confidence in using the language.
For advanced students, I prefer to use real texts and materials, such as newspapers and videos. I go over some of the more difficult vocabulary and phrases, and discuss the content with the student afterwards. By using real material, I believe a higher level of fluency can be achieved.
