Over 6 years of teaching in language school experience 【When I was a university student】 I helped Japanese children and exchange students to learn Japanese as a tutor. I also had experienced Japanese tutoring for American students in Arizona State University. 【Now】 I'm working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners. By working as a teacher, I realized that age doesn't matter!! There is no late to start learning! Basically, when I teach, I will use Japanese all the way to improve your Japanese skill. But, you can also ask questions in English or Portuguese if it's hard. I understand how difficult to learn foreign languages by my experience. But I'll try my best to help you! Don't worry.
