About Me

Interest topicMoviesTravelHealth
Hello, my name is Candy and I am from Shanghai. Currently I am living in the beautiful city of Yokohama, Japan, where I have resided for 10 years. After I graduated from university with a PhD degree in Theoretical Physics, I realized that communicating with people suits my personality much more strongly as opposed to doing academic research work. Right now I am working as a salesperson at an IT company. I love people and I always have a fervent passion for languages and cultures. I have been teaching languages on italki for 8 years. I speak English, Chinese, Japanese and conversational Spanish. Besides work and languages, I like to dance Salsa, play piano, cook and watch movies.
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, gramma, vocabulary and listening. I am happy to answer your questions, give suggestions and examples, and also share you with additional resources for your further study outside of class.

There are not enough superlatives to describe Candy's teaching style, and demeanor. Her lesson was informative, challenging and enjoyable. I 100% recommend her to anyone in need of an excellent teacher to help them advance their language skills.

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.

Candy-san is an excellent teacher!
I had a ton of fun speaking with and learning from her. She's patient and upbeat and was vigilant about correcting my mistakes, but in a non-judgemental manner which I've greatly appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful first lesson in Japanese!
