Hello! よろしく！
My name is Mel, it's good to meet you!
I have over a 12 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language,with young learners from Kindergarten to College in Japan. Have helped many students become conversational in English and developed their reading and writing skills.
I am married to a Japanese spouse, with two kids. Have lived in Japan for over 10 years. My interest and hobbies are jogging, cooking, reading, gardening, carpentry, astronomy, history, and video games.
I can speak Japanese, if you have any questions please feel free to ask in Japanese.
日本語が話せるので何でも聞きたいことがあればどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。Me as a Teacher
I believe learning a language is like building a pyramid with the basics as the foundation and working your way to the top towards fluency.
The best way to learn is to talk about what topics and interests students' have whether that be history, astronomy, video games, Pokemon, Disney, sports, food, manga etc. By talking about what students enjoy, it makes learning English fun.
My learning method is on the Speed Method, every lesson has previous material practiced, going faster each time until it is mastered, then new material is introduced. This helps learners gain speed, fluency, and practice of the language.My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are based on the needs of the students' and parents' request.
If you want to learn the Basics of English, Advance English, Business English, Conversation, History, Astronomy, or how to play games in English are available. Lessons are tailored to students' abilities, needs and goals.
For teaching to young learners in a positive environments I have certifications in IB International Baccalaureate in Primary Years and International Montessori Diploma for children. I have successfully taught over 100s of young students.
Children Lessons are focused on the basics of Introductions in English, ABCs, Phonics, Pronunciation, Writing, and Basic Conversation.My teaching material
