Hi everyone, my name is Midori! I am a native English speaker and a CELTA & TEFL certified teacher from the USA. My greatest passion is learning about people, languages and cultures.
My mom is from Japan and my dad is from Venezuela but I was born and raised in the US, so I grew up with a natural interest in learning about the world around me.
My hobbies include traveling, doing yoga, spending time in nature, and making art!
Me as a Teacher
I have 4+ years of experience teaching English as a second language. I have taught in classrooms and online, in public schools and a private university in Japan, in groups and one-on-one.
My favorite way to teach is one-on-one, because it is the most versatile and flexible learning experience. As a teacher, I am kind, patient, and friendly!
Many of my students have been learning English through textbooks in classrooms for many years, but are still not confident in their language skills. My role as a teacher is to help you build that confidence with each lesson. I am patient and encouraging -- I want you to feel comfortable speaking in English and I will help you get there. :)
My lessons & teaching style
I like to establish a friendly relationship with my students -- you should feel comfortable enough with me to speak freely, make mistakes and express your opinions. For my conversation classes, I like to keep the discussions natural and realistic in the same way that you would have a real-life conversation with a native speaker, rather than a formal, classroom-like experience.

i’ve been taking 1-hour lessons with Midori for almost 2 years since I came to Canada. She is so good at asking questions to keep the conversation going without putting extra pressure on the student. Highly recommend and many thanks for Midori’s help with my English <3
