InterestsMusicSports & FitnessScience
I was born and raised in the United States, so I've spoken English all my life. I am college educated with an Associates Degree in Biology and I've had many jobs where I was required to communicate professionally with associates and customers.
My travels have taken me to Canada, Mexico and Japan. I love to travel and meet people from other countries and experience different cultures.
Me as a Teacher
* Casual * Relaxed
* Patient * Fun
* Informative * Supportive
I believe that trial and error play a big part in learning a new language. Maybe the most fearless students learn the fastest. I know that is something I need to get over myself in my desire to learn to speak Japanese. I don't like getting it wrong. However, getting it wrong won't matter if I don't at least try. Let's work together and overcome our concerns of not being perfect and grow in our confidence to communicate in the English language. I would love to assist you with that endeavor.
My lessons & teaching style
Mostly casual conversation. We can talk about any thing you want to. If you have a certain subject or interest you would like to explore, we can work on vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar or anything that you are struggling with.
