I would describe myself as a challenger. I have successfully led companies in the hospitality industry in both the UK and Thailand

I bring a wealth of skills and experience to my teaching. As a native Japanese speaker with fluency in English and a passion for language learning, I understand the challenges and rewards of mastering a new language. My professional background in leading hospitality businesses in the UK and Thailand has strengthened my ability to connect with diverse individuals and communicate effectively. Additionally, my experience teaching Shogi to groups and coaching youth soccer has taught me how to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs. My teaching approach focuses on building trust and creating a comfortable, engaging learning environment. I aim to tailor each lesson to the student’s goals, interests, and learning style. For beginners, I emphasize foundational skills such as pronunciation, basic vocabulary, and essential grammar, using practical examples and interactive exercises. For more advanced learners, I focus on refining conversational fluency, cultural nuances, and advanced grammar through real-life scenarios and discussions about Japanese culture. I believe in encouraging students every step of the way and providing constructive feedback to build their confidence and skills. By fostering an open and supportive learning atmosphere, I aim to help each student achieve their language goals effectively and enjoyably.
