About Me

I am born and raised in Canada, but have Japanese and Chinese parents. I am currently a university student in Canada studying for my Bachelor of Linguistics. I am proficient in both English and Japanese, speak Mandarin conversationally, and have studied Turkish for a several years. I love learning new languages and have also studied Arabic, Korean, Ukrainian, Hebrew, and Bengali in the past but I have had the most progress in Turkish. I also love cooking and homebrewing my own wines and beer!

Me as a Teacher
I love meeting with all my students and being able to chat with them casually and as friends. I just know that there are people out there that could use a language partner who is a native speaker and I love the language learning journey so I am here to help. I am a super positive and excited person, and love chatting. I love meeting new people and hearing about others language learning journey! Tell me your hobbies, about your day, all the drama between your friends, complaints about work, etc. Just chat with me in your target language!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will be very relaxed and like you're video chatting with a friend! I will be available for conversation practice, help correct mistakes, and teach proper grammar, pronunciation, & useful phrases and expressions. I can easily tailor to your needs and what you want to learn and practice on. Several of my students enjoy my sentence translation exercises. I will give you a sentence in your native language and have you say that same sentence in the target language. I come up with fun, weird, obscure, but very useful sentences that will help with versatility.

Enjoyed today’s lesson. It was comfortable and informative; I learn so much more having a human to talk to as opposed to an app. It had a good level of difficulty and it was catered toward the day-to-day conversations I would have. I also had all of my questions answered (yay).

Hugh-san specifically prepared today’s lesson for my learning needs- today we learned a lot of sentences that don’t come up in textbooks. By doing sentence translations, I am forced to think about what I would say in everyday situations. Thanks a lot for the effort you put into (and before) our classes! I would highly recommend Hugh as a teacher

Hugh is a great teacher. I always look forward to our lessons. He prepares well before the lessons and is always friendly and motivating me to study. Highly recommended.

We worked on Sentence deconstruction and repetition,
I like that Hugh uses common words and simplify sentence to my level,
He doesn’t mind repeating the sentences several times and gives chance to try to figure out the meaning on my own.
He is very good teacher for comprehensible input teaching method.
