Note: Despite my heritage, I am a native English speaker!
I moved to Japan in November of 2011. I specialize in teaching children ages 6-12, though I also thoroughly enjoy working with older students and adults. I like to teach using hands-on and multi-media methods like games and music in addition to grammar and conversational exercises. I have turned down offers for teaching jobs at schools simply because private lessons let me work around my family's schedule.
Before coming here I studied political science and philosophy at the University of St. Thomas. I love to teach, play the piano, do yoga, and spend time with my husband. I am a very dedicated and patient teacher and would love to help you improve your English language skills!
