10 Years of International Experience Teaching and Communicating in English & Spanish I love traveling and am a former tour escort and backpacker. Through my journeys, I have explored many countries, including India, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Canada, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Spain, France, Italy, and Turkey. I also love manga and anime, so I enjoy talking about Japanese culture as well! I am passionate about language learning and cultural exchange. I lived in Australia to study English, in Taiwan to learn Chinese, and spent three years in Mexico teaching Japanese while learning Spanish. These experiences helped me understand both the challenges and the joy of learning a new language. With my international background and love for communication, I enjoy helping students learn Japanese in a fun, relaxed, and practical way. I can teach students from absolute beginner level, so please feel free to join my classes. I explain grammar and other points in English or Spanish, so it is helpful if you understand these languages. I usually give homework, but if you are busy, it is completely okay not to do it. I believe learning hiragana and katakana is the most important first step. Without reading and writing skills, it is very difficult to improve your Japanese. Step by step, I will help you build a strong foundation and enjoy the learning process!
