Hello! I'm Bethany and I am excited to help you learn a new language. I am American I currently live in North Carolina, USA. I love to travel and live in new places. I have also lived in San Diego, California (near Disney Land!), Atlanta, Georgia (very multi-cultural city), and in Japan for 4 years.
My hobbies are traveling, watching Netflix, and watercolor painting. I love to learn about different cultures and history, especially Japanese history. (My favorite Japanese period is the Jomon-jidai!)
Me as a Teacher
It is easier to learn a new language if you are interested in the topic. I can talk about many subjects like culture, history, video games, American slang, movies and more!
Before teaching English I worked at many different companies so I can help you with Business English too.
My lessons are very flexible. If there is something specific you want to work on, let me know.
I can speak some Japanese, so if your first language is Japanese I will try to use a little Japanese in class, for example "We will meet __ the party." Should you use "in" or "at"? Hint:「に」or「で」?
My lessons & teaching style
I have 3 types of lessons:
• Beginners - fun lessons with games and reading.
• Conversation with Corrections - talk about what you like.
• News & TED Talks - reading and listening practice before class, speaking and conversation practice during class

It was a great experience. I was nervous when I spoke because it had been a while since I last spoke English in full sentences, but she was sweet and patient. She’s also very knowledgeable.

Bethany is a really amazing and professional teacher. Each class I feel confident expressing my thoughts. The main advantage of the lessons for me is practice new words and grammar immediately on my own examples. I feel huge progress and satisfaction after classes.
