I lived in Japan for the past ten years in Kyushu and in Kanto where I worked as an ESL instructor from kindergarten to high school level plus adult eikawa courses. I now live in the States with my wife and daughter where I teach Japanese language and culture at a high school level.
I am a very casual teacher who focuses on four aspects of language aquistion: Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Listening. I bolster this with both my own personal experience and cultural relevancy to create a dynamic and immersive enviroment for my students. My goal is to instruct utilizing authetinc resources with the aim of providing a well-rounded understanding of the topic being taught while making it both fun yet challenging.
