Hi my name is Emma! :)
I'm from Canada, but I moved to Japan 12 years ago!
I have been a professional teacher for most of that time. I'm a student of psychology, law, and Japanese. I love learning and teaching!
I also love the outdoors (camping and sports), cooking, and photography!
I'm an English second language teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching in Japan and online.
I've taught in universities, high schools, elementary schools, corporate development classes, conversation schools, kindergartens, and more!
I believe that output is the most important part of language acquisition - and it's also the most difficult part! This is why having a tutor to help you make the process fun is so important and rewarding.
I'm committed to my student's success, and love seeing their lives change through learning English.
* My calendar typically closes a week in advance. If you would like to request a sooner time, please feel free to message me.
** I recently returned to iTalki! Please reach out if you have questions for me. I look forward to meeting you!
*** After booking a trial lesson, please send me a message with your name and one learning goal, so that I will be able to prepare the lesson for you :) Thank you!
**** I am not teaching classes for children under 16 years of age at this time, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Emma’s lesson was very nice! She checked why I want to learn English and what I want to achieve in the future first, and listened to me very carefully. I’d love to take her lesson again! Thank you :)
