My background includes digital wireless communication technology, overseas master’s and doctoral-level studies, and Senior Consultant experience at Ernst & Young. I help students learn in a clear, structured way. I understand how challenging it can be to learn a foreign language, and I’d love to share what works.

Based on your level, I adjust my speed, vocabulary, and style. My goal is to bring you into an immersive Chinese environment without going to China, and help you acquire the language naturally, like talking with a close friend. 【熟能生巧】【Practice Makes Perfect】【習うより慣れよ】【배우기보다 익숙해져라】 从学生时代开始,就已经在教来自不同文化背景的学生。曾在中国、日本、美国、哥伦比亚、印度尼西亚和韩国线下教学,也在 italki、Duolingo 多邻国、Tutoring 等线上平台,以及许多本地教育品牌积累经验。 Since my school years, I have taught students from diverse cultural backgrounds, both offline in China, Japan, the US, Colombia, Indonesia, and Korea, and online on platforms such as italki, Duolingo, Tutoring, and local education brands.

オリジナル教材のスピーキング特訓で「話すための日本語」を教えます!中級以上の方には細かい文法解説やテーマに沿った会話練習でより自然な日本語を教えます! I've been teaching more than 20 years now. As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014. But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion. I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day. I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson. Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties. I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.
