About Me
italki teacher since Apr 2, 2021InterestsTravelEnvironment & NaturePets & Animals
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!
I have 5+ 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. :)
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.My teaching material

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

I’ve been taking lessons with Midori for a year now, and I’m so grateful for her guidance. Thanks to her, I’ve been able to stay consistent with my English learning. Even though it’s just once a week, each lesson helps me gain confidence and improve my skills in so many ways. 🚀
She’s very attentive and genuinely engages in our conversations, making learning both enjoyable and comfortable. Her vibe is similar to mine, so I always feel at ease talking with her. I truly appreciate her effort and the thoughtful interactions she brings to every session. Thank you for your dedication and support! 😌

Thank you, Midori. My English is still beginner level. We practice speaking every lesson, and each time I start understanding better and better.
