About Me
italki teacher since Mar 30, 2018Interest topicFilms & TV Series
Well, I guess the best way to know me is to check out my youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_fhyI9nW1lAz40McLBWyUw
And.....I lived in Japan for eight years and I can speak the language fairly well. I have also traveled to Australia, Hong Kong and Korea. Traveling is something I like to talk about, but really I like to talk about anything, from politics to cooking or anything in between. I like to let my students come up with the topics they want to talk about.
My hobbies are Japanese Language, internal martial arts, film production (writing acting, editing and directing) stage combat and basic stunt work, basketball and gymnastics.Me as a Teacher
I am a third generation teacher from the state of Texas. That is to say my grandfather was a teacher; my father is a teacher and I am a teacher. And we were all licensed in the state of Texas.
My degree is in Theater and licenses are in Theater and History. However, because my family owns and operates its own school I have had the opportunity to teach various subjects. Among them were Drafting and Computer Aided Drafting, Reading, Writing, History (World and U.S.), Geography, Theater and Basic Japanese.
I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in my family school and also in various schools in Tokyo.My lessons & teaching style
For now (not forever) my lesson is a straight forward process. The student and I will have a conversation and I will take notes of the student’s weak points in grammar, pronunciation, listening skills and vocabulary. At the end of the lesson I will teach the student where they can improve in these areas.
I encourage the student to come ready with topics to discuss.My teaching material

Jay is an excellent listener and a thoughtful advisor. Our conversation was enjoyable. The feedback he provided on my pronunciation was very helpful to me!

Jay is an excellent teacher and his pronunciation is very clear. I also like that at the end of the lesson I get additional feedback on my mistakes during the lesson, including grammar.
