こんにちは！Hi! I’m Candy, your trilingual (Chinese, Japanese, English) language teacher on an exciting adventure through words and culture!
With a PhD in Theoretical Physics, 10+ years in international business, and over a decade of language teaching, I specialize in Conversation and Business Japanese and English, helping professionals speak with confidence in meetings, write sharp emails, and navigate negotiations like a pro.
After 12 years working in Japan, I bridge Asian and Western business culture effortlessly. Whether you're aiming for the JLPT, polishing your accent, or craving conversational fluency, I’m here to make your language journey dynamic, practical, and fun.Me as a Teacher
Language isn’t just something you study - it’s something you live. I believe the best way to master a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it as much as possible - listen, read, and speak at every opportunity. The more you use it, the more it becomes part of you. Having friendly, relaxed conversations in your target language is one of the most effective (and enjoyable!) ways to improve.
With my extensive background in international business, I specialize in Business English and Business Japanese, empowering professionals to express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in any boardroom, email thread, or cross-cultural meeting. My lessons & teaching style
In class, I focus on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and listening practice - all tailored to your goals. I’m always happy to answer your questions, provide suggestions and examples, and share extra learning resources so you can keep improving outside of class too.

Candy is an amazingly intelligent teacher. She provides useful examples that demonstrate the way Japanese grammar should/not be used and why it is or isn't culturally appropriate; this level of learning is critical and cannot be achieved through self-study alone. (Not to mention her 'people skills' are off the chart.) She's knows how to teach--simply put!!

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.
