Hi, my name is Candy and I am from Shanghai, China. I have been living in Japan for 11 years. After I graduated from university with a PhD degree in Theoretical Physics and Chemistry, I realized that communicating with people suits my personality much better than doing academic research alone. My 8+ years of experience in global marketing and sales have equipped me well for teaching Business Japanese and English. I love helping people and have a strong passion for languages and cultures. I’ve been teaching languages for 9 years and speak English, Chinese, Japanese, and conversational Spanish. Besides work and languages, I enjoy dancing Salsa.Me as a Teacher
I personally believe that the best way to master a foreign language is to expose yourself to it at every opportunity and simultaneously push yourself to use it as much as possible. Conversing with friendly people in your target language under relaxing circumstance could be an excellent approach to hone language skills. Also, given my extensive background in the global business world, my specialty is Business English and Business Japanese.My lessons & teaching style
In the class I focus on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and listening practice. I am happy to answer your questions, give suggestions and examples, and also share you with additional resources for your further study out of class.

Excellent lesson as always with Candy. Her teaching style is informative. Cultural insights are a part of learning any language. The lessons help me make the connection between culture and language, which is as important as learning the language. When that connection is made, it aids with vocabulary retention as well as recall. I'm very grateful for the time and effort Candy invests in teaching Japanese. Kudos 👏

Wonderful blend of pushing me to use and understand Japanese with explaining concepts and words clearly in English when I needed. Very organized in providing a helpful structured learning experience while also open to conversation. Friendly, knowledgable, informative and easy to talk to. Really enjoyed my lesson! Looking forward to the next one.

Before class I was despondent with the lack of progress with my language skills, and I explained these feelings to Candy about my doubts. Knowing this, Candy, being the excellent teacher that she is, gave me a series of phonetic drills to build up my confidence (which it did). Then she introduced new material as well as reviewed some previous material. With my confidence restored, I am encouraged to study more diligently. Thank you, Candy Sensei!!
